Big Codie Vibes
Historic BO1
17 Oct by Zapp
This is a really long and convoluted infinite combo that wins you the game on the spot. Part 1: Get infinite mana, and Famished Foragers' loot ability. First, you want to have a Sunscorched Desert in your hand or be really confident that you can deal damage to your opponent (attacking with something...
Storm Tibal
Historic BO1
13 Oct by Tr4L
This deck is really close to most common Throes of Chaos deck, with a clear different goal: kill the turn you Cascade. An issue I encounter with regular Throes of Chaos deck, is that on turn 4 you got your Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, exile two creature and still being killed by the rem...
3 Colour Dredge
Historic BO1
29 Sep by 5ManaAndADream
Welcome to dredgeless dredge. I have been trying variations of this since historic came out. Finally after the most recent historic anthology and historic horizons I think the deck is in a fairly good place; Dragon's Rage Channeller and Grisly salvage are some of the biggest new cards for the deck. ...
Fuma-red
Historic BO1
29 Sep by Threadoflength
This is an updated version of my "skred" deck based on the old modern deck "Skred Red" which was a mono red midrange deck that used a snow mana base to leverage Skred as a very efficient removal spell, which, along with a plethora of main deck hate cards, would bridge the gap to being able to close ...
The Agnostic Approach
Historic BO1
15 Sep by Zapp
First off, things you should know playing this deck: You very much want or even need the bottom of your deck to have Approach of the Second Sun and Irencrag Feat in it. This means keeping a few things in mind: 1 - You do not want your opponent to force you to shuffle. 2 - You do not want to put anyt...

08 Sep by CyphoDias87
Hey dear All.You can add me ingame Cypho Dias#3205 to play vs. 100% self made, non meta Decks, THIS IS THE WAY !! I feel that it is very consistent to use some Elf Ramp with Leyline of Abundance, to generate a lot of mana, I played Decks like this in Mythic a lot.Typically you go into Ugins, Ul...

Historic BO1
04 Sep by SonzeySpace
Good evening, friends!! I, The Mad Lad, have been on a two-year magic sabbatical. But now I am back, and I am ready to set this magical world ablaze once again. Joining me in this triumphant return is an old stalwart friend.... Beamsplitter Mage and this wacky wizard has brought all of his friends t...
Blinking Buddies
Historic BO1
03 Sep by JackBort
Hey guys, it's me JackBort and we are back for another jank combo deck. Last time we talked about hordes of scarabs, obelisk spiders and evil physicians, so let's try something lighter this time with a blink deck! For this reason we are using the new J:HH cards Soulherder, Man-o'-War and Teyo, Aegis...
Historic: persistent goblins combo v2
Historic BO1
02 Sep by slayeroffrog
Second version of persistent goblins, this one forgoes the ability to deliver a goblin beatdown and goes all in on the combo, can kill as early as turn 3 the combo revolves around infinitely sacrificing putrid goblin while a metallic mimic or grumgully is on the board as the -1/-1 counters from pers...
Channeler Blitz
Historic BO1
31 Aug by Fredzy
Ok so I've tried a lot of ways to abuse Delirium and Madness in the same Deck, trying to emulate the kind of feel you can have in a modern type deck and so far, this is how I've managed to get There. This deck has more than good crits, Fire to clean up the board, lots of card Draw and can be ...
Historic: Abzan Hapatra x Yawgmoth Combo
Historic BO1
30 Aug by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
Edit: Just finished this deck a week ago, and it works actually pretty nicely. Also did a few changes to make mana base and draw more reliable. Edit: I just saw that someone else made a deck around the same combo as I a day before but in Golgari only. Why not show JackBort some love and ch...
-1/-1 Counters Tribal
Historic BO1
29 Aug by JackBort
It seems like people actually liked the Calix Brawl deck enough to try it so I wanted to give you guys something else in the meantime I'm testing other Brawl decks to share with y'all. This is a very sweet combo I discovered using some old and in my opinion underrated cards from the Amonkhet block. ...
Historic: Abzan Vespermalarky
Historic BO1
27 Aug by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
This deck has not been tested yet, since I am out of wildcards. The janking will continue however once I am done. Be free to put in some feedback. Abzan Verspermalarky Good evening, folks, Shdorsh here from Failure Guaranteed. With the release of Jumpstart: Modern Horizons, we got a bunch of brand n...
Chandra's Heartburn
Historic BO1
17 Aug by Zapp
First things first, Aetherhub says this deck is illegal, but starting August 26 it will be legal, as Wizards releases Jumpstart: Historic Horizons on Arena. Anyways, what could be more fun than turning something that isn't a creature into a creature just so that The Ozolith works with it? ......
Scrying Teferi
Historic BO1
13 Aug by Zapp
Imagine you have Teferi, Master of Time, Oath of Teferi, and Kasmina, Enigma Sage out. Cast Semester's End as the opponent tries to attack some of the planeswalkers... When Teferi comes back into play, he can immedaitely gain 4 loyalty from Kasmina/Oath combined (scry 2 twice) plus a loyalty from Se...
Historic Simic: Orvar Hotel California
Historic BO1
06 Aug by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
Simic: Orvar Hotel California Good evening folks, Shdorsh here from Failure Guaranteed. Today, I thought: What could I do to cement myself inside the Magic: The Gathering history. At the same time, I always wanted to do something with Orvar, the All-Form. I have come to the perfect answer after watc...

02 Aug by sinpyro
Video by ThyrixSyx. Posted with permission. Disclaimer: This is a meme, jank deck. I would not advise burning wildcards on this deck unless you really want to. That being said, it is a fun deck, but don't blow everything on it especially if you are on a budget. So I originally had a differen...
Selesnya Nornsense
Historic BO1
24 Jul by FailureGuaranteedShdorsh
Good evening folks, Shdorsh here again with a very janky deck. I don't know why, but lately I've been kinda stuck on Selesnya. On another note, I've been harvesting coins to get Anthology 5, which I have to say is pretty good value for historic janks. It comes with the Phyrexian Praetors, that are f...
[Historic] Angelic Furries
Historic BO1
20 Jul by sinpyro
Note: All previous versions of this deck have been deleted from my deck lists to avoid confusion. I had to make a bunch of changes to the mana base and made quite a few significant card swaps. Disclaimer: This is a very janky deck. I do not recommend burning wildcards on building this if you are on ...

It's been a long campaign, fighting your way through chamber after chamber of this dungeon. At last, you've amassed enough equipment and allies to take on the final boss and emerge victorious. Then, just as you've pocketed your reward, you find yourself at an inviting dungeon entrance...wait. Haven'...
