Decks Containing Thrull-Surgeon

Use the shades and avatars to win....If your opponent is going \"ohhh ohhh ahhh ahh i am gonna win with this\" or has to reaveal somthing realy powerfull going into his/her hand use ur varrious hand destroyers to GET IT OUT!...dont overuse ur painbringers or you wont be able to play the avatar of woe for 2...A subterranean hanger can save you if you get mana screwed...use unworty dead and Phyrexian Monitor to block...Dont play more than one shade!...In most cases 1 is enougf due to the fact you will usuly be pouring all ur mana into one. Use soul burns with cabal coffers and quite a few lands to win the game along with shades...

the black deck the final one... or is it... an artificer deck perhaps (see savimaya deck)

get out shit cards cycle with survival and recurring nightmare. rinse. wash. repeat. any questions?

big creatures, works well. opponent has to deal with the spike soldier quickly because it can double its power and toughness for a turn.just remove counters from a creature and sacrifice it to phyrexian broodlings, fueling sadistic glees.

Not only does this deck have a million combos, you always get them out real fast. if you don't think using recurring nightmare three times to gain ten life, destroy your opponents creatures, rape his hand, deal him damage and leave a few pumped up guys out is awesome, then... you're weird or something.

this deck has little deffence but kills fast with the right cards. perfect hand: 2 swamps, 1 oppression, 1 megrim, 1 holwing mines, 1 anvil of bogordan, and 1 dark ritual
