4 Silent-Chant Zubera
4 Floating-Dream Zubera
4 Ember-Fist Zubera
4 Dripping-Tounge Zubera
4 Ashen-Skin Zubera

4 Spawning Pit
4 Phyrexian Altar
4 Second Sunrise
3 Patriarch's Bidding
4 Cauldron Haze
1 Chromatic Sphere

5 Plains
4 Swamp
4 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Mine
3 Mirrodin's Core

(I have 3 City of Brass in the mail, and the land base will probably change around once they arrive)

The idea is pretty simple. Get some Zubera's out (ideally Floating-Dream being one of them) and then use a Phyrexian Altar to sac for mana to play Second Sunrise/Patriarch's bidding. Cauldron Haze gets you double your money, and Spawning Pit is a nice back up sac engine. Questions/comments?

Welcom to the Source.

This is a cool deck idea, but i am wondering why you dont run more city of brass? or why you run tarnished citadel.

As I said, I have 3 City's in the mail, and once they arrive, I'll mix things up a bit. I like citadel because I can use it to add a colorless, which 90% of the time is all I need from it. And once you start combo-ing, 3 damage really isn't all that much to the hundreds your about to gain.

Since this is a casual deck anyway, I'd be tempted to make it Vintage to gain access to Skullclamp.

Perhaps a couple of Banefires? Maybe you've gotten into situations where you can get lots of mana from Dripping-Tongue tokens.

Old combo, but always amazing. with PiD you sac all your zuberas to find the Greed, so that you can do some multiple sac shenanigans. Then you can cast a lethal Greed by saccing the Spirit tokens produced by green zuberas.

Also, needs moar Vials.

Yeah, but Zubera's are 1/2, so clamp would really only work once a sac, so I don't see it being THAT helpful.

Perhaps, but usually if you've reached that point, you either have a floating dream or ember fist Zubera out which will pretty much seal the game.

The only problem with Greed is that you can only sac once. This deck focuses on returning them a shit load of times in one turn. Also, as said above, once you start comboing off, a single ember fist does more than enough damage.

I can definitely see vial being useful in here, but what to cut?

Thran Quarry will be pretty good manafixing.

Add some Copies of Eternal Witness to go Infinite.

And Plunge into Darkness is definitely a good call.

Just cut the cauldron haze, Sphere, 1 Bidding
