As a player with Lich's mastery in their main deck along with a Vito + exquisite blood pair, reading the first part of Sheoldred I knew where this was going

That Gain 2 per draw literally makes Phyrexian Arena free card draw too, this card is absolutely insane

Just pulled a Phyrexian foil of this yesterday. I geeked out so hard.

The peer into the abyss combo is well known thanks to underworld dreams doing her second triggered ability but only 1 life instead of two

Sheoldred & the one ring work Really well together

Ohh dam that's apocalyptic

Try her with villis broker of blood and krrik son of yawgmoth, pay life to kill creatures, paying life draws you cards which gains you life! GGS from there!

Underworld Dreams: Finally, my time has come!

Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Sanguine Bond are also invaluable here. For those who don’t know, they make a select opponent lose life equal to the life you gain, which is better that “lose 1 whenever you gain.”

Me having a nekusar deck knew where this one is going

I've been meaning to build Queza and this is a great addition

Gain two life per card drawn is crazy With black having pained card draw this makes infinite card draw much better She would be great in a Nekuzar shell with group hug card draw

I’m really excited because I got Sheoldred in a pack over the weekend and mono black is my favorite to build around!

I have both of these in my Sheo deck and I love them with all my heart

Once announced, it went straight into my Raffine deck that has a lot of ways to connive for big numbers. Queza, Drogskul Reaver, Ledger Shredder, Days Undoing, Windfall, etc.

Seizan seems like a good addition to her 99

I’m very glad I haven’t finished my nekusar deck yet. She’s definitely a 99.

Shieldred goes in the 99 of my tymna Kraum wheels

Okay, this is definitely going in my Grixis Wheel/Mill deck 😍

A friend of mine came up with a nice one running Sheoldred, Bolas citadel, Sensei's top, and an Aetherflux reservoir.

"Cut your losses" and "traumatize" would also be good for blue

Fell stingers and sign in blood would be good cards for a sheoldred deck.

Queza, augur of agonies with any of the three synergies really well with the combos

My opponent: "I play Sheoldred! What you got?" Me: *Farewell, Sheoldred...*

Sheoldred is, in part, why I now run 3 valorous stance in my light paws deck

And vitor when you gain life

Psychosis Crawler works as well. Whenever you draw a card each opponent loses 1 life.

This card with green I'd think would be incredible. Pay 1 black, draw a card, lose two gain two...

two yeezy combos?! dont tell the hypebeasts!!

I just came out of an Avant-première sealed tournament, which i won, got 1 in the opening and another sheoldred in the rewards. She's BONKERS, way more than her older counterpart.

And like that I want to make a deck out of Sheoldred. Thank you.

sanguine bond + exquisite blood

I already did this because last i saw one of your video where gueza and lich mastery combo

Imma predict, peer into the abyss.

Basically, the standard Nekusar combos for the second ability, and the first is Queza with extra steps.

Days undoing would be a fun one with this too

I use sheoldred to combo with the great henge in my golgari midrange deck to gain a lot of life😊

Was showering this morning and thought "Sheoldred and Dina...🤔"

I traded a DMU liliana and Misty to get her prerelease stamped. I needed it in my life. I can't say how excited I have been since seeing the card come out. Order some of the cards mentioned on here with Dread too for defense. Vito and Abyss were bought too. In standard I have been using Cut of the Profits too for pretty much free card draw. Just have be mindful of the life hit first before triggers of the card draw life gain lol.

Two words. Fraying Omnipotence.

This card has become one of my favorite since most decks love drawing cards and it does not seem powerful until they lose half there hp form normal game play

This card will either stay steady or go up in value just because of how many combinations it has , plus its just a 4 drop insane

How did he not mention Vito with the gain life lose life part

What you need to also add to exquisite blood and you will make a ultimate loop with mbp

They call me General Mills, I mill your cards and your life.

my entire queza deck lmao :D

lich’s mastery and sheoldred to draw you whole deck and have gerrard's Hourglass Pendant out tap sacrifice for four colorless to return all lands,creatures,artfacts,and enchantments to play tapped.

Awesome, more easy combo wins

Used to pretty much do this with Niv Mizzet

I have got hit with the second one. It was painful and awesome at the same time.

I have used peer into the abyss to play the cards I wanted out of my graveyard I enjoyed it lol.

If only I had the money to afford one

I use Villis, Broker of Blood with her in a K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth & Shadowborn Apostles deck. Cast a black spell, prefereably a 1 drop like an Apostle) with 2 life each instead of the black mana, Vilis causes me to draw cards equal to the life paid, and then gain twice that much life from Sheoldred. If I also use Blood Celebrant, I can effectively pay three life for 1 mana of any color, yielding me three cards and a net gain of 3 life per mana. So I can cast any card "for free" by instead risking decking myself in increments of 2 or 3 cards, and gaining a ton of life in the process. Not truly infinite, but it pretty much never fails to win the game same. It's effectively the really weird black mana version of Enter the Infinite with Omniscience. If i can get K'rrik in play turn 1, Apostles can therotically fetch Villis into play also on turn 1, but pretty reliably on turn 2 or 3. If i use his activated ability to draw into with a drop tutor spell and a fast mana rocks or two like sol ring or mana crypt i can potentially play Shroldred on the same or next turn, making that deck arguably my best deck and easily competitive for teir 9 or 10 CEDH. I can and have pulled off a OTK with it, and games rarely lasts beyond turn 5 with it, one way or the other, it either drains my life to nothing and gets me killed, or I win before anyone can do anything except play Force of Will or another 0 or 1 drop counterspell, which is generally the only way to stall long enough for even perfectly high tier decks to get on thier feet.

Or vito, exquisite blood

somebody did the peer thing to me

Peer into the abyss and underworld dreams is a similar combo

Yawgmoth's Bargain

I just pulled a foil Phyrexian art of sheoldred last night from a dominaria set box

really enjoy Lich's mastery, cause you draw your entire library and more than likely can go infinite with one or two cards

Thorn of the dusk rose

You can gift Vilis to an opponent, then once they draw a card, it'll start the cycle of losing life and drawing cards (like Lich's mastery, but losing life and decking from it, whichever comes first xD)

There's also Ob Nix Adversary ulting on an opponent with Sheo out for 21 damage.

Already using Peer into the abyss with Nekusar Sheoldred just adds more firepower to my arsenal.

Also draw your entire Deck with with Lichs Mastery and then discard your entire hand with Sickening Dreams to oneshot everyone (you stay alive due to gaining life from drawing the cards.)

What language was that last version of Sheoldred?

I do the same thing with queza Augur of agonies

Juzam was 2bb for 5/5 In a world of 1 n 2 drops Sheoldred power crept to 4/5 with those abilities.

You can have your whole deck but in the end you'll still only be allowed to play 1 land

I’ve been using peer into abyss with auger of torment for like a year lol

Queza and Lich is another combo

Peer into the abyss ftw

Imagine you have her out. Some casts wedding ring, giving you a copy. You put the enchantment out, you deck them out. Lol

I’m planning on using her with Vilis, Broker of Blood and Blim, Comedic Genius. Hand over Vilis with Blim, life loss triggers, and they loose all their life and deck themselves

Muh combo.

If you run this card in MTG Arena, you are my enemy.

Peer with Dina and Sherolded to kill everyone at the table

Remember, player removal is best removal

if you don't have a vito effect on the board, if you draw your entire deck, sickening dreams (1B, sorcery, discard x cards, deal x damage to each creature and player) ends the game just as well. the lifegain from sheoldred negates the damage it will do to yourself.

But does it go into my Oloro or my Nekusar 🤔🤔

Lol this looks like my deck mechanics

Also sheoldred with ob nyx ultimate equals the opponent draws 7 cards and takes 21 damage.

I recently killed someone with peer into the abyss and wound reflection 😂

uncommon esper/obscura from newcapenna also can do it

Nekusar like it

Man, I quit in 2019 because power creep and combo craze was just not my jam. Checking back and see it's only gotten worse!

I can do something easier: Cut your losses: Target opponent mills half their library. Eldritch pact: Target player draws X cards and loses X life where X is the number cards in their graveyard. Or if you wanna be particularly nasty: Playset of Augur of Agonies. Each time you draw a card, You gain 6 life, your opponent loses 4 life.

I can't wait to get a new sheoldred! Well shit... I'm poor and she's like 50 bucks...

Besides the fucking mana cost of those two playing them in one turn would be near impossible

Ah yes lol just a couple "easy" 10 and 11 mana combos

What's the point? All you see in Explorer are Transmogrify, Greasefang, Angels, Mono Red, Cat & Oven and Teferi. Good luck when you get hit with Parhelion on turn 3 or Ulamog shows up on turn 3. Arena is completely unplayable now. Historic has just Muxus or Elves winning on turn 4 or Dualcaster Mage winning on turn 3.

I just use queza auger of agonies for card draw combos

This is a different commander but Queza auger of agonies has "when you draw a card you gain one life and your opponent loses one life". just target yourself with peer into the abyss and you have just killed someone and drawn half your Library, pair it with a card that lets you have no maximum hand size and you have pretty much just one the game

you seen to have forgotten that most games of magic , last only till turn six . you're trying something that will only happen in once in ten games. nice try though. remember it's not what you can do, it's what the opponent lets you play.

You could also deck yourself for the win with something like thassas oracle

the second combo doesn't work if they are a life gain deck and have enough life... for example 200 life and 60 leave them with a life total of 40. which means they are still in the game now with 40 life and 30+ cards in hand and 30 cards in their library

Both of those rely on your opponent having anything approaching a reasonable life total. Lifegain decks take that as a challenge. :D

Can someone explain how you don’t lose after drawing your whole deck?

Gotta build …

Better in a lotus field combo deck

Sac him, turn him into a vampire with Drana and boom. You have the most op vampire (next to Markov) of all time.
