Sharing my new deck that uses "Morbid"

[Althuna]

I only play Manalink now, so I don't read up on MTG and I don't play with real cards or anything. So maybe this is already being played in tournaments or something, but I don't know.

Anyway I usually make quirky little fun combo decks, but I saw this in our new set of cards and decided to make a really brutal deck for winning fast. And wow does this deck fit the bill!

The deck basically exploits the "Morbid" mechanic and Tragic Slip. With Tragic Slip if something dies it becomes a huge -13 pwnage of any creature for just one mana! In most cases this would be tricky, but I cheat by using Eldrazi Tokens which you can just sacrifice for 1 mana, and then you get to use the full Tragic Slip to kill anything. And the "Morbid" cards work in the same way. You just sacrifice one of your little tokens, and then play a Morbid card and you get a really powerful effect straight away. One of them gives -4/-4 to a target creature, one of them spawns a 5/5 flying creature (can do this every turn so long as you have 2 creatures to tap!), one of them kills a creature at the end of turn, and there is a green creature that becomes 5/5 with trample really early in the game too!

And if you run out of stuff to sacrifice, you can just attack and if the opponent blocks and kills one of your smaller creatures, you then you play your uber Morbid or Tragic Slip cards and cause even more mischief. It's incredibly powerful. And for me its a nice change to have such a dominating deck, rather than playing quirky decks that struggle early on.

Moved to proper section.

It's always nice to share decks, especially from the newest or the golden years block.

Gah my kithkin deck ruined my winning streak It's just so fast, I got over run with stuff in the first 5 turns. I need to tweak this, maybe add some Damnation or something. Fun as hell to play though, I really love this Morbid thing.

All decks have weaknesses. decks are very effective against some and bad against others
there is not such a thing like best of all decks against the world

[Althuna]

Lol true, but I hate losing! But if I can win 99% of games, that's ok

[stassy]

There is but not in Standard, maybe in Shandalar or in Denegerated mode but they are usually fast boring

[Althuna]

Yeah they do, someone once showed me his 'classic' counters deck which could basically counter spells constantly, from turn 1 onwards, and also bounce permanents. So basically unless you could kill him in 1 turn it was impossible (unless he got a really bad land lock or whatever).

But yeah, Booooring! My favorite fun is to have 2 good decks that are evenly matched and go back and forth. I especially like it when you both end up with lots of creatures in play but scared to attack or you lose them. So both players are just waiting for one card to tip the balance and then they can attack and win
