Oops. Good catch, I removed Disciple of Bolas from the deck because he's pretty useless without that. I just added in another Treslte Troll and Kalonian Tusker.Thanks, and yeah Lotleth Troll is broken :).

Ok, now I see the 3 card combo with Axebane. I'm used to only using Axebane in standard decks which is why I thought it was a 5 card combo. I was only using Overgrown Battlement for defender to stall and for mana. I'll replace it with Axebane now that I see the combo.Thanks, sorry I didn't understand at first.That replacement pretty much doubles your chances of getting an infinite mana combo.
I don't think this deck is as efficient as my other infinite mana combo decks but it was fun to make, so I'm glad you guys like it.
The Axebane Guardian combo requires 5 cards (Axebane, 3 defenders, and Galvanic Alchemist), this only requires 3. I'm not trying to capitalize on defenders, I'm just using them to stall for my combo.If you want a Standard Axebane Guardian combo deck you can look at my profile, they're entirely different.
No, I don't have the cards. I just made the deck for fun.I do have Negate and Dispel in the sideboard if you wanna swap those out. I just put in Orzhova for the sustain since Blood Artist isn't in the main deck.As for lands I do agree it would take a while to get to 6 lands with 22 lands. I wanted to make the deck threatening even if you don't have the Rooftop Storm out. For example with only 4 Swamps out you can pump Blood Bairn up to a 12/12 until EoT with just Gravecrawler sac and if you sac a butcher ghoul twice she's a 16/16. Because of this I don't think 24 lands is necessary.If you do play it let me know how it goes and if it works better with 24 lands.
For this specific deck I feel like Mikaeus is just a weaker Rooftop Storm because he costs 6 mana. He's also an expensive card money wise.
I think you guys missed the point of this deck... please read the How to Play section.
What do you guys think about replacing the Grimgrin, Corpse-Born with Gift of Orzhova? or maybe more control cards?I feel like Orzhova would make vampire attacks more reliable and would give the sustain needed since Blood Artist is in the Non-Budget deck. Also Grimgrin is pretty useless.
I did most of the suggestions. I'll keep thinking about Tracker's Instincts, I'm not sure if I want to do that yet.
How does that look. I removed 2 Butcher Ghouls and 3 Moans. I put in 3 Syncopate, 1 Blood Bairn, and 1 Bloodthrone Vampire. I like to have at least 2 Butcher Ghouls because they're zombies and you can get the combo going if you don't have Diregraf Captain out. Thank you both for the advice.
Alright, I added Forbidden Alchemy and Think Twice for better card draw. I also added some Fogs and put the Dispel/Essence Scatter is the SB. After getting rid of Amass the Components there are no longer any 4 drops so I only need 3 mana. I think 3 mana is easily achievable using a 20 land deck with 3 Gatecreepers and 4 Elvish Mystics. I could replace Elvish Mystic with 2 lands and 2 of something else but I feel like that would slow the deck down considering I have no other 1 drop creatures.
This deck is just for fun and I wanted to do something with the infinite mana combo. I don't think it's really viable for a ptq as you now realize :P
I added them. I realized Countersquall was not Standard legal so I removed it. Disperse and Cyclonic Rift work the same, Disperse costs less money but Cyclonic Rift has an Overload cost so I'm keeping both in. I added in Negate and Dissipate. Thanks again for all your help with the deck mcflyguy.
That's awesome. I'm glad you've had success with it.
Good catch, I either typed it wrong or miscounted. And yeah, it's a really fun strategy.Just looked at your profile and you have some pretty sweet decks, those are awesome.
Sounds like a really fun idea. If you do it let me know if you like it.
I'm glad to see that. One of the main reasons I make decks is to give other people ideas :).
I added into the Deck Description more about cards in the Sideboard. Let me know of other cards that work with the deck that I can add into the Sideboard.Thanks everyone for their help in making the deck better!
Cyclonic Rift is kinda expensive but I'll put it in the sideboard anyway. I'll add in Counter Squall but another combo would be Cyclonic Rift into Duress.Thanks for the advice.
That's perfect.
