Thrasios and Tormod's Field of the Dead
This deck is the latest iteration of my Loam shell, adjusted significantly to take advantage of Tormod and Thrasios synergies. I haven't gotten to play this yet but in playtesting it's pretty fun and different. I've shoe-horned a few fun cards like Skola Grovedancer in that enjoy Thrasios' Training Grounds synergy, etc. The general pile of synergies is:
* Lands and other things entering or leaving the yard (Tormod, the Desecrator, Nether Traitor)
* Lands entering the battlefield (Field of the Dead, Bloodghast)
* Tokens making mana (Cryptolith Rite, Phyrexian Altar)
* Creatures dying (The Meathook Massacre)
* Training Grounds stuff (Skola Grovedancer, Shigeki, Jukai Visionary, The Scarab God, Destiny Spinner)
* Making absolute sure I can stuff Bojuka Bog attempts enough of the time that people are dissuaded Disallow, Voidslime, Summary Dismissal (adding Tale's End soon), as well as Entomb and Constant Mists and Cryptic Command because the deck absolutely runs on Field of the Dead
Our #1 win condition is making a bunch of zombies and then flying at people with them (Wonder) but we can also go infinite in a few ways if needed, and use Thrasios, Triton Hero to get there.
The two primary combo outlet is:
Phyrexian Altar + Nether Traitor + Tormod, the Desecrator -- > infinite mana → thrasios activations → drain outlet
We have a few ways to generate comical numbers of cards; a setup like:
Field of the Dead + Thrasios, Triton Hero + Ashnod's Altar + Training Grounds can let you activate until you stop hitting lands
Bloodghast + Ashnod's Altar + Field of the Dead (as above)
Earthcraft + Phyrexian Altar
Because Field of the Dead and makes untapped zombies, we can do a lot more with Earthcraft, but Nether Traitor + Tormod, the Desecrator still goes functionally infinite with Earthcraft since you can tap the Nether Traitor every time.
I am sure there are some other wacky lines I am missing and if I ever find another copy of Perilous Forays (or free mine up from Tatyova, Benthic Druid's clutches) I'll probably add that since it does kinda similar stuff.
In general we should be able to kill people with a buttload of zombies a reasonable amount of the time, but being able to get over the top with Bastion of Remembrance or The Meathook Massacre adds a bit of reach.
All in all I think this is a pretty unique take on the Field of the Dead archetype, but we'll see how well it does and how it's received
