With our treasure production from Shambling Ghast and Deadly Dispute, we can usually play her before turn five. Lolth, Spider Queen pretty much does it all in this deck: She creates spider token to sacrifice, gains loyalty whenever our creatures die, and draws cards when we’re looking for action. Curving Jadar into an Opportunist will work as a very solid engine, creating and decaying a zombie token and drawing a card for it every turn. If all this value isn’t enough, Morbid Opportunist will draw us a card whenever the first creature dies each turn. Besides sacrificing them to cheapen the cost of our combo, we also run a full playset of Village Rites and Deadly Dispute to dig deeper into our deck. Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia and Sedgemoor Witch will supply us with an additional supply of disposable bodies. Full playsets of Eyetwitch and Shambling Ghast make sure we can start setting up our gameplan on turn one. We mostly run creatures that want do die and payoffs for when they do. Since we have to sacrifice creatures to reduce Torgaar’s casting cost, aristocrats is the way to go. Now that we know the combo, we just need a shell to play it in. It almost seems too on the nose when you put the cards next to each other and to be fair, the original Heartless Hidetsugu already did something similar (although way less consistent, slower, and more mana intensive). The other one deals 10 damage to a player with exactly 10 life. One card sets a player’s life total to exactly 10. Torgaar, Famine Incarnate and Hidetsugu's Second Rite. The other piece of the puzzle got printed 13 years later in Dominaria (2018). One card comes all the way back from Saviors of Kamigawa (2005), the third set of the original Kamigawa block. These two combo pieces waited 14 years to find each other. And not just one of these highly synergistic interactions that are printed in the same set like Witch's Oven and Cauldron Familiar. You’ve seen the title, this is a combo deck (big surprise in a Brewer’s Kitchen video, I know).
