Previous version of this deck (The Living End combo) turned out to be too repetitive and weak so it was disassembled a while after posting a deck. This time I concentrated on a Flashback theme backed up by some powerful spells from Grixir repertoir and recursion for both creatures and instants/sorceries. Flashback Forward season 1 begins:
Deck plays in a classic draw-go manner with occassional tapouts for sorcery removal and threats (Traximundar usually). There are only two counterspells, with Soul Manipulation being more of a recursion spell then counter, but a deck is packed with card draw, answers and tricks. The main plan is to clear a board and beat face with Trax but there are also other interesting options:
The mana base is kind of budget but it suffices for a multiplayer deck that does not want to be to competitive (but wins quite often anyway). I consider this deck as a weakest one of my builds but a most fun to play for both me and my friends.
Wishlist: more cards with flashback in Dark Acension and Avacyn Restored. Also cheap Snapcaster Mage but it's a fool's dream.

Deck plays in a classic draw-go manner with occassional tapouts for sorcery removal and threats (Traximundar usually). There are only two counterspells, with Soul Manipulation being more of a recursion spell then counter, but a deck is packed with card draw, answers and tricks. The main plan is to clear a board and beat face with Trax but there are also other interesting options:
- Nuclavee + Blasphemous Act/Cruel Ultimatum/Void/Slave of Bolas + Soul Manipulation = killing some/all creatures (and countering one) every turn
- Buried Alive into Haakon, Stromgald Scourge+Taurean Mauler/Vengeful Pharaoh/Kederekt Leviathan/Magma Phoenix = sculpting own graveyard into the backup hand, full of answers and/or threats
- Kagemaro, First to Suffer/Fulminator Mage/Mulldrifter + Grim Harvest = another method for killing a board/land/card draw every turn
- Call to the Grave + Rooftop Storm + Traximundar = obvious is obvious
- Undead Alchemist + Nephalia Drownyard = some mill with option for dudes
- Grozoth transmuted into Blasphemous Act/Artisan of Kozilek = trick or threat
- River Kelpie + spells with Flashback = card advantage
- Haakon, Stromgald Scourge + Nameless Inversion = creatures dying all over the place
- Army of the Damned + Wild Ricochet = pulled it once, 26 zombies beat face hard
The mana base is kind of budget but it suffices for a multiplayer deck that does not want to be to competitive (but wins quite often anyway). I consider this deck as a weakest one of my builds but a most fun to play for both me and my friends.
