Deck Description

I just wanted to make a casual Bridge from Below deck with no particular format in mind. It's not very expensive in the grand scheme of things, it's super fun to play, and I think it would be a good addition to my arsenal, so I'll be building this one. For fun.

How to Play

I like this combo quite a bit: you get Bridge in the graveyard through Supplier, Looting, Neonate, or even Cabal Therapy. From there, you theoretically cast your second creature of the turn, then return Vengevine from the grave where it inevitably wound up. Then you can play, say, a Carrion Feeder to be able to return Gravecrawlers and feed a soon-to-be enormous Feeder. And this is just one option. You can use Altar of Dementia to sac your stuff to mill yourself out, and your opponent simultaneously, while playing Hogaak about a million times and sacking him to the Altar too, all the while amassing a horde of zombies thanks to Bridge. The Street Wraiths are helpful for feeding your graveyard to enable Hogaak as well. But perhaps my favorite of all of this is the stack interaction with Leyline of the Void; technically, their creatures never hit the graveyard when they die, so the Bridge can stay eternally active and perhaps double or triple up the triggers.

Deck discussion for BFB

It's a fun solution against someone like me who would try to break the bridge by sacrificing some creature.
But make double sure that it actually works, because I recall and old ruling where creatures still touched the graveyard before being exiled. It's a rule that may have recieved new changes to it, but at some point in magics long history there was a small loophole.

Been looking it up.
Looks like it works as intended these days :)

Decktype is vengebridge.

But token creatures seem to crack the bridge though.

Yes, it seems that tokens do break it, but there aren't many token-maker archetypes that can keep up with this deck in any given format. Additionally, a quick analysis of the wordage of Leyline makes it pretty clear that if it *would* be put into a graveyard, it's exiled rather than doing so, so it seems to be a nice workaround.

It's yet another example of a combo that hides for years before being put together.
I love those

Thinking it over, it's vulnerable to ordinary graveyard hatred, and needs leyline to be in the hand to avoid creature sacking. I think it will be a short term solution, while sacrifice creatures are "in"

However, most of the time in just random casual games, graveyard hate isn't the most common thing ever - to combat that, though, artifact destruction may do the trick against certain foes.

There's so many broken dredge builds that you can get ideas from, and vengevine designs too.
All of them together have probably faced everything, so you might be able to Frankenstein them together.

I thought about it, but then I decided that going with this build seemed like more fun than just dredging your entire library away. With this build, you can pick and choose what cards to keep, which improves consistency.
