Greater Good

Enchantment Combo

Featured list~$2924PM Magic Beijing #41 @ PMBJ (Beijing, China)

Overview

"Greater Good is a WBG combo deck that uses Academy Rector as a tutor engine to fetch and deploy game-winning enchantments. The core loop sacrifices Phyrexian Dreadnought to Greater Good for cards, or uses Pandemonium and Saproling Burst for a one-shot kill, with Cabal Therapy, Duress, Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal, and Elvish Spirit Guide protecting and accelerating the combo."

Game Plan

Sacrifice Academy Rector (often to Cabal Therapy) to fetch Greater Good or Pandemonium, then chain Phyrexian Dreadnought sacrifices into a lethal burst, or reanimate threats with Reanimate.
