While building my Ooze deck I stumbled upon Tendrils of Agony and this cart gave me an idea for a deck. I don't want to spend to much money in this deck, since I'm building the Ooze deck, so i'm using peaty swamps instead of Lotus cards. The deck Would work like this: Mana accelerators to improve the deck speed: Dark Ritual , Cabal Ritual , Culling the Weak , Lotus Bloom Creatures to count as spells casted and to increase the number of carts in the graveyard, without paying any mana: Blood Pet , Basal Thrull , Soldevi Adnate . Control magic to know if it's safe to finish the game and to remove any dangerous spell: Duress Draw spells to get more cards, to try to finish the game in a single turn, it will be powered up by the cards in the graveyard and by my own life : Skeletal Scrying The finisher of this deck, if needed the finishing blow can be divided, to gain more life needed by the Skeletal Scrying. I know that there are better alternatives, but for a less expendable deck this is what I came up with: Lands ( 20 ): 12 x Swamp 4 x Peat Bog 4 x Ebon Stronghold Instants ( 16 ): 4 x Dark Ritual 4 x Cabal Ritual 4 x Culling the Weak 4 x Skeletal Scrying Creatures ( 12 ): 4 x Blood Pet 4 x Basal Thrull 4 x Soldevi Adnate Sorceries ( 8 ): 4 x Duress 4 x Tendrils of Agony Artifacts ( 4 ): 4 x Lotus Bloom

Doesn't it basically require you to draw a Skeletal Scrying to win? Otherwise you probably can't get a high enough Storm count.

I'd go Plunge into Darkness over Beseech the Queen . There's Tainted Pact to, but that's super risky.

The problem is that I need life points to power up Skeletal Scrying .. loosing half of them to get it doesn't seem very efficient. What about using Credit Voucher instead? I was thinking about using Skullclamp , the problem is that would require me to add more creatures.

Removing cards from the game isn't really a problem, you don't need to resolve a whole deck of spells, just 10. Infernal Contract is probably a really good idea actually, I was trying to find the card that did something like that on magiccards.info, but I must have worded it wrong.

I think I would be able to replace 4 Swaps by 4 Lotus Petal.
Are athera any alternative to Infernal Contract?
Tainted Pact seems a bit better that it ... since losing half my life with a single play to get 4 cards doesn't seem worth it ... especially if I need the life points to use Skeletal Scrying.
