I could never actually afford this deck, or rather, I probably could in a few months but I'm not dropping ~1,000 on a playset of cards, but I might proxy them because the rest of the deck is diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirt cheap.
Here's the combo:
1) Bubbling Muck with some land in play (Yeah, I didn't know black had that either until looking through my roommate's brother's "shit box" [everyone should have a shit box, browse it once in awhile!]) or Rituals.
2) Candelabra of Tawnos Produce lots of mana (Or rituals)!
3) Cruel Bargain and Infernal Contract to draw lots of stuff, play lots of stuff.
4) Tendrils of Agony -> Profit.
The List:
//The Combo:
4x Candelabra of Tawnos
4x Dark Ritual
4x Cabal Ritual
4x Lotus Petal
4x Bubbling Muck
//The Draw:
4x Infernal Contract
4x Cruel Bargain
//The Kill:
4x Tendrils of Agony
//The Protection:
4x Duress
4x Inquisition of Kozilek
//The Land:
20x Foil Swamp
As soon as I saw Bubbling Muck I thought it'd be funny to make a sort of mono black Spiral Tide kind of deck with it. Except instead of counters, you fill your hand, throw a ton of discard at them, then go off in that turn. It's essentially the same concept as ANT without all the card filtering and generally just slower but, if you have the cards might be fun to play.
If you have any ideas let me know, I thought of maybe putting in the Infernal Tutor + Lion's Eye Diamond engine to search for Contracts and be able to play them but I figured, it's not a guaranteed win and I'd rather have more discard and rituals.
I'd love another very good drawing card but I can't quite think of one off the top of my head. Another discard wouldn't hurt either, maybe I could go down to 18 for 2x Hymn's but, I'd prefer knowing what I'm hitting a little bit. But it's still counter-bait and can still really wreck someone. Thoughtseize feels out of the question, I can only take so many hits from contracts, I'm not sure if it's fine to take damage from discard as well.
