Anyway...After getting an oversized card of Basandra, I've decided to build a deck for her intended to just flat-out **** with the combat phase. Weirdly for a R/W deck, the goal is to put in a bunch of really defensive creatures and then just use Basandra's activated ability to screw with other people's creatures and make them attack each other. It's not intended to be anything strong, just something goofy and fun I can play a few times and maybe keep for the more casual games. So far this is my list of "defend myself" spells- (* is for cards I don't own yet) Angelic Chorus
Deftblade Elite
Sunweb
Darien, King of Kjeldor (obvious lulz with Angelic Chorus)
Ironfist Crusher
Indomitable Ancients (still a fair amount of lulz with Angelic Chorus)
Wall of Shards
Lairwatch Giant
AEther membrane
Windborn Muse
Hedron-Field Purists
Island Sanctuary
Aurification
Deftblade Elite
Wall of Reverence
Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker
Ghostly Prison*
Moat*
Magus of the Moat*
Crawlspace*
Commander Eesha*
Cards to just mess with other people when Basandra is out - War Cadence ("You with the Ulamog and [EDIT: Red, to clarify] Akroma, go kill Mr. Tokens over there")
Battle Strain
Righteous Cause
Lust For War
Wing Shards (disgusting)
Dispense Justice (slightly less disgusting)
Lieutenant Kirtar
Divine Verdict
Second Thoughts
Condemn
Bullwhip* (basandra redundancy)
Lightmine Field* (ahahaha you shall all die)
Boros Guildmage*
Powerstone Minefield* Suggestions? Anything I've missed? __________________

No, no it was not. At least the other thread was ready to be retired, though, so I'll let it stand. quote:

So, I took apart Devour for Power and Counterpunch today and tried to make a reanimator/graveyard shenangins deck based around Mimoplasm, finding and piching Domina and some huge arbitrary fatty, piching cards to graveyard and reaping huge draws...and then I realized..my card pool sucks. grrrr. __________________

Don't forget every effect that says "Here's an additional combat phase for ya  ", especially the instant speed one to be used on someone else's turn. And the recurring Waves of Agression and Hellkite Charger.
And also Fight to the Death is extremely rude.
I can't find it but i thought i card something like "you control/decide how creatures attack and block this turn".
Glory of Warfare. The red and white Vows. Blazing Archon.

I believe the one that lets you decide attacking and blocking is Master Warcraft or something like that.__________________

Thanks for the suggestions, sovarius! And yeah, Master Warcraft is the one that controls the combat phase.Changing gears a bit, I'm building around the other new generals I picked up last friday as well. So far this is what I'm testing with Riku: Creatures:

Magus of the Vineyard
Magmatic Force
Consecrated Sphinx
Deadwood Treefolk
Avenger of Zendikar
Veteran Explorer
Baloth Woodcrasher

Rapacious One
Fierce Empath
Avatar of Fury
Overbeing of Myth
Body Double
Pelakka Wurm
Woodfall Primus
Eternal Witness
Artisan of Kozilek
Oracle of Mul Daya
Indrik Stomphowler
Genesis
Trench Gorger
Simic Sky Swallower
Nucklavee
Spitebellows Artifacts/Enchantments/Planeswalkers:
Garruk Wildspeaker
Vow of Lightning

Vengeful Rebirth Really the gameplan is pretty much "get Riku out, do crazy stuff". He's a strong enough card that you don't really need a top-notch decklist for him to be powerful. Hopefully this'll be good for my playgroup haha. __________________

Add in both Akromas. I'll back you up on Hateflayer tho, that thing's awesome.
Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
It that Betrays is pretty gross, as is Pathrazer of Ulamog. It's a shame Elesh Norn and Reya aren't 5 power, they're amazing.

I'm going to start playing with WorldGorger combo since apparently I can now. (Why did they do that?) (WHY?) So I'm debating between Grixis build or the all in Scion of ur dragon build (note that scion directly places dragon into the yard). Which do you think would be better?

Green only gives you survival and fauna shaman mainly, even those cards don't make a version jund worth playing over grixis version. If you're going to play dragon combo, might as well play all 5 colors. O just play Hermit Druid combo instead.

Finally actually played my Thraximudar I-sacrifice-stuff-and-profit-and-it-just-hurts-you deck.
Off the bat i get Coffin Queen and Soulless One although they aren't doing too much. Then i hit Beseech the Queen for Grave Pact so some ball buster would stop attacking me for 4 lifelink. And because Grave Pact is the whole purpose of the deck anyway.
One's playing Sharuum trying to combo off asap and gets Thopter Assembly out, the third player Disfigures my Coffin Queen so Assembly is put into the yard from Grave Pact, and immediately picked up by my Animate Dead. I get the tokens next round and drop Grave Titan.
The third player is dropping weird kinds of Thrinaxes and eating them all by himself, all the while fueling my Dross Harvester.
I get Small Pox but no major sac engine has gotten online so my army isn't being as fun as i want. Small Pox hurts a lot with G-Pact in play from what i can tell  Sharuum player chooses his discard to be Sphinx Sovereign, i guess Animate Dead is not a big enough hint to knock that sort of thing off. It was Necromanced asap as well.
But shortly after Sharuum hits a Black Sun for 7 and wipes everything out.
Then next turn he proceeds to fail on his Thopter-Combo (he probably would have got it if he just waited, be probably also was counting on me killing with Thraximundar which i had forgotten about) and quit, the third guy just quits as well after that because he had to be home.Just when i was starting to get going, but i still never got a reusable sac effect going. quote:
