Description

Gameplan

The main gameplan of this deck is to put down Anje Falkenrathimage as soon as possible.

Anje Falkenrathimage has haste, so tap her to discard a card with madness in your hand, and repeat until we have none in out hand, except if we have a situation where one could be useful -see below-.

The deck has "five" parts to it:

1. Mana and acceleration

2. Madness Cards

3. Tutors / Extenders

4. Infinite Combos

5. Protection

There is one card that doesn't fit these four parts, Sensei's Divining Topimage , but is a pet card of mine and really helps with consistency later in the game. 

Then, through thinning your deck, using combo extenders/tutors to get to a combo as fast as possible, we can assemble a win as early as turn 2-3.

 

Mana And Acceleration

This deck runs as many ways as can fit to get to at least a turn 2 Anje Falkenrathimage , but can easiy get to a turn 1. 

For Example: Swampimage , Mana Cryptimage , Exile Simian Spirit Guideimage can cast Anje Falkenrathimage turn 1 with 1 colorless floating. 

Another Example: Mountainimage, Lotus Petalimage, Rite of Flameimage

As well, every land in the deck can come down untapped as fast as possible. 

Note: There is only 1 Fetch in the deck currently. In this deck and my meta, life is a valuable resource. outside of getting Anje down, getting access to land colors becomes less and less of an issue. As soon as Anje Comes down, and you start drastically digging and thinning your deck and tutoring, you 100% will become the target at the table, so having as much life as you can at the end of the day is more benefitial than the minor thinning. 

 

Madness Cards

In Magic at the time of making this deck there are 44 cards that mention "Madness" and are in our commanders Colors. of those 44, there are 4 that do not have the keyword ability madness. Those are Anje Falkenrathimage , Brink of Madnessimage , Descent into Madnessimage , and Falkenrath Gorgerimage

Anje Falkenrathimage is our commander.

Falkenrath Gorgerimage Would be good, but there are 2 creatures in the deck that we want to discard that don't have madness, Worldgorger Dragonimage and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyreimage, and neither of them are vampires.

The other 2 don't help our gameplan.

that leaves 40 cards with madness, and all 40 are included in the deck. This leaves us with a 60 card deck of lands, tutors, extenders, and combo pieces. 

some of them are even sutuationally useful. Someone shoot down a big thing that you don't want around, Big Game Hunterimage, etc

The most useful is Bloodhall Priestimage, as with the Worldgorger Combo Line, We don't need Anje Falkenrathimage on the board anymore, as most people will hate her off the board, but most will leave this one alone. (Another way is Sunscorched Desertimage)

 

Tutors/Extenders

What do I mean my extenders? These are cards that allow us to still continue drawing and discarding do dig deeper and deeper. Tectonic Reformationimage being the main one. 

Doomsday is another excellent one that can sneak out a win, or recur our combo if it's been countered. 

With Anje untapped and a madness card in hand, the stack from top to bottom would be Madness card, madness card, Worldgorger Dragonimage, Animate Deadimage, Exsangunate. 

 

Combos

There are 3 main combos within the deck that lead to an infinite win. 

Worldgorger Dragonimage + Animate Deadimage / Necromancyimage / Dance of the Deadimage 

1. Get Worldgorger Dragon into the grave via tapping Anje Falkenrathimage or an Entombimage effect. 

2. Cast Animate Deadimage, Targeting Worldgorger Dragonimage.

3. Worldgorger Dragonimage Enters the battlefield, putting it's trigger on the stack. 

3.5 Hold Pritority, and tap all of your mana.

4. Let the Worldgorger Dragon Trigger resolve, exiling everything other tham himself, including Animate Deadimage

5. When Animate Dead Leaves the battlefield, it triggers to put Worldgorger Dragonimage into the grave.

6. Allow this ability to resolve, returning everything that was exiled with Worldgorger Dragonimage untapped as if they were entering for the first time. 

7. This puts an Animate Deadimage Selection Trigger on the Stack. 

8. Repeat steps 2-7, tapping Anje Falkenrathimage to discard a single card from you hand at step 3.5 to dig for Exsanguinateimage with infinite mana

9. Target something other than Worldgorger Dragonimage To end the combo. Then cast Exsanguanate for lethal. 

Note: if you have Bloodhall Priestimage or Sunscorched Desertimage you do not need to dig unless someone has hexproof.

Note 2: If you can get Emergence Zoneimage down, use it to cast Exsangunate at instant speed. This way, the combo can continue if it is countered and you can search for Ulamog, the Infinite Gyreimage to discard, shuffle everything back in as a last resort, or dig for Bloodhall Priestimage

 

Library of Lengimage + Glint-Horn Buccaneerimage + Anje Falkenrathimage

1. With all 3 on board, Tap Anje Falkenrathimage to discard a card with madness, undapping her with a draw trigger on the stack.

2. 2 Triggers go on the stack after. Library of Lengimage and Glint-Horn Buccaneerimage

3. Order does not matter for the last 2, [[Glint-Horn Buccaneer] deals 1 damage to each opponent, and Library of Lengimage triggers to put the discarded card on the top of the library. 

4. After the Library of Lengimage Trigger, then resolve the Anje Falkenrathimage Draw Trigger, Drawing the same madness card you discarded. 

Repeat steps 1-4 to cause infinite life loss. 

 Protection

This spot was recently added after playtesting. It's nice to be able to have answers to answers to this deck, namely Counterspellimage, so why not run our own Counterspellimage in red?

Pyroblastimage and Red Elemental Blastimage help us keep on curve for the deck. If you are fearing a counter the turn you play her, wait 1 extra turn for the mana. If not, use it to protect a combo piece. 

As Well, Command Beaconimage Helps us in the case of board wipes or we don't have a counter in hand. Getting to 5 mana in this deck is not an ideal situation, but not impossible. In order to combo off, we need Anje out. In order to combo off with Animate Deadimage, we would need 7 mana, and a good bit of our mana acceleration is fast one time use mana to get Anje out as fast as possible, before opponents can deal with her. 

 

Considering re-adding Dualcaster Mageimage and Twinflameimage in case Anje Falkenrathimage gets Nevermoreimage'd
