Deck Description

I got this idea from a YT video, from the channel Bad Boy Gaming. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SPS-mzB7g4&t=380s

The deck from the video has the possibility to kill at turn 1, but it is not Modern legal. I've tried to modify it and make it fit into this format, and I've managed to create a deck that is able to kill at turn 2! And for just 20$!

How to Play

The main way to kill with this deck is a combo that consists of 2 Myr Retrievers, Altar of the Brood and Heartless summoning. To increase the probability of the Turn 2 kill, I've added Myr Moonvessel. Here's how it works:

Turn 1: We play a Swamp and Myr Moonvessel (or Altar of the Brood)

Turn 2: We play a Swamp and we play Heartless summoning. If we played Myr Moonvessel, it dies because of the -1/-1, so it gives us an extra mana, with which we play Altar of the Brood in case we hadn't. Now, since "creature spells you cast cost 2 less to cast", Myr Retrievers are free to cast. We play a Myr Retriever, but when it hits the battlefield, it instantly dies because of the -1/-1. We play another Myr retriever, and it dies again, but while it dies, the other Myr Retriever comes back from the Graveyard to the Battlefield. And this happens again, and again, and again, infinite times.

Every time this one of the Myr Retrievers hits the battlefield, before dying again, it triggers Altar of the Brood, making the opponent "put the top card from his or her library into his or her graveyard".

So, basically, we'll empty our opponent's library, and he or she will die during their next upkeep, since they are not able to draw from their library.

The other cards are there in case we don't get the full combo from the beginning.
-Diabolic Tutor is there, obviously, to search the cards we need to complete the combo. There is not a lot of search in this deck, but all cards are useful and the probability to get the right cards is good, so it won't be a problem. In case we needed more search cards, we could include Shred Memory (which is in the Sideboard), because its Transmute lets us look for Myr Retriever and Heartless Summoning.
As Bad Boy Gaming says in his video, you can add Beseech the Queen istead of this, but it is considerably more expensive.
-Dimir Machinations is there to start milling the opponent to pump up Wight of Precinct Six, which will be our main creature while we try to get the full combo. We can also use Dimir Machinations to dig into our library and get the deadly combo.
-Doom Blade, Tragic Slip and Gatekeeper of Malakir are there to destroy annoying creatures that can put us in a difficult situation while we're looking for the right cards, and at the same time, to pump up our friend Wight of Precinct Six.
-Wight of Precinct Six, as said before, will be our secondary tool to attack and defend while the combo comes to our hands.
-Aphotic Wisps (and Nighthaze, at the Sideboard) are there to make Wight of Precinct Six a little bit better while letting us draw an extra card to get the combo.

In conclusion, the ideal starting hand would be:
-2x Myr Retriever
-2x Land
-Altar of the Brood
-Heartless summoning
-Myr Moonvessel
(Taking into account that, if we don't start, we get an extra card, and yet another one during our Turn 2 upkeep).

Deck discussion for 20$- Turn 2 Win

I like the combo, its different.. I have an infinite combo in my zombie knights deck.. https://www.mtgvault.com/lemeurtre/decks/zombie-knights/

however, I may be mistaken, but, i was under the assumption that just because a creature goes to 0 toughness doesn't necessarily mean its dead. It just has 0 toughness... fact check me on that one..

Just checked it out, and creatures with toughness 0 die instantly unless they are "indestructible". However, thanks for pointing that out!
That's an interesting deck you got there! We love combos!
If you wanna check some of my other decks, too, you'll find some more like this. Thanks!

will do! thanks for checking.. reason i asked is because i love infect, i was told even if a creature hits 0,(from -1/-1 counters) that it doesn't go to the GY. good to know for the future!

You need to seperate this answer in two parts or it isn't correct. Creatures with Indestructable don't mean they don't die. They don't die to damage dealt to them but decreasing there thougnes to zero is still possible to remove them from the board

So, then, even if a creature is indestructible, it can die when it has 0/0? Then how does Stuffy Doll work?

bc stuffy doll deals damage to itself it doesnt put a -1/-1 ability on itself

Since they dropped in price Mishra's Bauble would be a good fit over wisps since any spare retriever's in hand could grab it.
Also if you add white you can use Enduring Renewal with Heartless/retriever/mishra's to pretty much draw your deck on their upkeep. Slower but it's a second combo.

Mishra's Bauble looks like a good card indeed, but I feel like it is actually not necessary for the deck and if would reduce the probabilities of getting the ideal starting hand.
Adding white to the deck looks like an interesting option, but I think the concept would deserve an actual new deck around it, rather than adding it to this one! Thanks for the ideas!

1 problem with your combo- Dampening sphere. It makes it so that you cant go infinite, basically killing you.

I'm checking it out and can't seem to find that card. Could you check if you wrote the name properly, please?

Every combo gets wrecked by particular cards. Considering Damping Sphere is virtually not played, that problem is irrelevant.

Nice find man! i feel there's a ton of combo potential with heartless summoning! like if I had a solemnity, blood artist, and young wolf out, the wolf would keep coming back and dying while blood artist quickly kills, but this requires a ton more parts to work lol.

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it! I think you might have come up with a nice base for a deck! Probably worth checking it out ;)

Have you considered running U/B? Your combo gave me an idea and I made a black blue version of this to play test and it ran a lot smoother with dimir infiltrator due to the transmuting ability! totally understand why you have memory shred there too. Cantrips like sleight of hand and serum visions could help a lot!

I've considered the idea, yeah, and actually, it was the main idea. But I couldn't find a way to make it work, so I thought that Wight of Precinct would actually be a good way to keep up with the game while we wait for the combo. I'd love to see your version of the deck, so could you please leave the link here? Thanks for the support! ;)

No problem, I got the original idea from your deck. Here is the link! Also I like the precinct idea, never thought about that before.

I tried this with G/B, and Commune with the Gods + Satyr Wayfinder are RIDICULOUS in this shell.
