Description of deck by its author (quoted):
What I wanted to do was build a deck that
tried to find an easy way to abuse Bridge from Below. I realized that it
could be used in a sort of Pebbles deck. When I remembered that Enduring
Renewal has been Timeshifted, I figured that I could build a version of
Pebbles using Bridge from Below and recently printed cards.
Note that if you really want to build a Pebbles deck,
then you would do so by getting the older cards, or by using Blasting
Station. However, I wanted a deck specifically designed to abuse Bridge
from Below. The Blasting Station version of Pebbles, although better,
would be Bridge-less. (There's also a Spawning Pit Pebbles deck in here as
well, I think).
Here is how the combo works. You have a Bridge in your
yard, a Renewal in play, a Fallen Angel in play, and an Ornithopter either
in play or in your hand. Play the Orny, then sac to the Fallen Angel to
make it bigger. It creates a 2/2 creature off the Bridge. Then play it
again, sac to the Angel, make a 2/2, and so forth.
Once you have an arbitrarily large Angel, swing to kill
an opponent. If they off your Angel, you have a horde of 2/2 creatures in
play to attack the following turn.
This is a deck that is combo heavy. With that in mind, I
felt it needed tutors. However, it needed more than “one card tutors,” so
I included a pair of Insidious Dreams that can grab multiple combo parts.
It also is a discard outlet to your Bridge from Below. I still included a
pair of the more traditional tutors because I didn't want to foster too
much card disadvantage.
Steel Wall was included only because it is a cheap
blocker. Note that since it only costs one colorless, you might be able to
sac, pump, play it enough to put an Angel at lethal level without even
having an Ornithopter, so it almost serves as a backup in that regard.
I felt that this deck needed some serious removal.
Mortify is included in four (and it could be Vindicate if you wanted to
ignore expense – but those suckers run for a lot online). There are a lot
of problem enchantments and creatures, and this will handle either.
I also wanted another Bridge outlet, so I included a
pair of Vengeful Dreams to off an entire attacking squad. In addition to
that, there is a pair of the new Judge Unworthy included, which should
help you dig for combo pieces while also taking out an opposing creature.
The Fallen Angel is, in my opinion, the weakest link in
the deck. There may be better sacrifice outlets out there, although I
couldn't think of any that were recently printed, available, and would
work with the Bridge and not against it. (Like the Blasting Station and
Spawning Pit mentioned above).
I suggest looking at cards like Mind Slash to rip all of
the cards from opposing hands equal to the amount of Black mana you can
produce. For infinite mana, you could run Phyrexian Altar. A later card
like Altar of Dementia would be pretty good too. These cards could really
help you run the table.
