Combos with Hunted Phantasm for a 4/6 unblockable creature and BlackBlackBlackBlackBlackBlack on turn three. I suggest following it up with Massacre Wurm. And why not throw in a Deathgreeter beforehand to add insult to grievous injury?

On the other hand, if you no longer want the Carnival of Souls, you could always use that mana to play Phyrexian Obliterator and Dry Spell, but that would make Davvol feel sad.

This and Soul Feast paint a pretty pathetic picture.

I do like cards of this sort that are unplayable on their own but that you can immediately see were intentionally designed to be abused with some infinite combo. They don't make rares like this anymore. Nowadays, rare = win the game.

Right then, infinite combo with this card that I use with my EDH deck. It may be overly complicated and prone to destruction, but no one sees it coming.

Thopter Squadron (or similar token generator) +
(Carnival of Souls + Doubling Season / Copy Enchantment Colorless) +
(Essence Warden / Soul Warden + PhyrexianColorlessColorlessPhyrexianColorlessWhiteColorlessWhiteWhitePhyrexianColorlessBlackRedColorlessBlackRedBlackRedColorless)

So, let's take an example of the basic engine. Thopter Squadron is in play, as well as Carnival of Souls, Doubling Season, and an Essence Warden. You tap some land to remove a counter from Thopter - You create 2 tokens due to Doubling Season. Those tokens cause you to lose and then gain 2 life due to Essence and Carnival, as well as gain 2 Black Mana. Using the Black Mana you can sac a Thopter to put 2 +1/+1 counters back onto the Squadro... (see all)

NO! NO! NO!
Apprentice Necromancer (self recovery infinite)
Deathgreeter/ Blood artist
Any dies effect, any sacrifice effect, any gravestorm, flesh allergy, Mikaeus the Unhallowed, Blood Artist/Deathgreeter ( whichever wasn't chosen above), Grave Pact, and Harvester of Souls.
Choose your win condition.
Draw your deck. He/she sacrifices all their creatures. Double this for infinite manna and play your hand or gain infinite life. Remove your opponents deck from play. Kill his creature. He/she loses infinite life. Play with any discard/ effect for huge combos. Then resurrect discarded things. Both super easy to do with black.
This goes well with breaking black.
This card is everything that black wants to be. It turns any combo into an instant win.
Rate it on what its for (not your green deck or red deck)
Flavor 5/5
Combos 5/5
Cost 5/5
Johnny here is your darke... (see all)
