Very close to pure player removal with Konrad if any opponents play a decent number of creatures)\n   Tormod's Crypt (graveyard removal)\n   Leechridden Swamp (triggers cards that trigger on opponents losing life)\n\n\nCombos:\n\"Fill the Yard\"/\"Graveyard Retrieval\"/\"Removal\"/(creatures dying by other means) + Konrad = ping for each creature moved to a graveyard or from yours. Basic premise of the deck\n[[Mindcrank]] + any damage + Konrad = opponents milling, pinged for each creature hitting any yard and triggers mindcrank again\n[[Shred Memory]] can ensure you get [[Mindcrank]] from deck or yard. Just grab [[Mindcrank]] if it's in the deck. If [[Mindcrank]] is in the graveyard, snag [[Myr Retriever]] if it's still in the deck. Otherwise, snag a piece of \"Graveyard Retrieval\" to get [[Myr Retriever]] to get [[Mindcrank]]. It can also grab a piece of removal in a pinch.\n\"Self-Reanimating\" + [[Undercity Informer]]/(other Sac Outlet) + Konrad = multiple pings and mill opponents (or yourself!) for more pings (or payoff from sac outlet)\nAny Mass Top of Deck \"Graveyard Retrieval\" + [[Balustrade Spy]]/[[Undercity Informer]] + Konrad = ping for each creature placed on top of deck, second ping for each milled creature\n[[Tormod's Crypt]] on yourself + Konrad + full graveyard = ping for each creature in your yard (last ditch effort to win if needed, since graveyard removal is generally very bad for you)\nAny board wipe + Konrad = lots of pings as Konrad sees all other creatures dying when does\n[[Nevinyrral's Disk]] destroying [[Myr Retriever]]/[[Workshop Assistant]] = Return Nev's Disk to your hand for a board wipe every turn.\n\nTips:\nIf Konrad dies, let him go to the graveyard. There's enough retrieval and reanimation to get him back to get around Commander Tax. Only move to Command Zone if you must, or if your graveyard is exiled while he is in it. Try to avoid putting him on top of your library in case someone makes you shuffle!\nUse Morphs to bluff for each other (unless one is face up on the battlefield or in the graveyard). Is that face-down creature a [[Bane of the Living]] waiting to wipe the board, a [[Gift of Doom]] waiting to ambush someone with deathtouch/indestructable, or just a [[Grim Haruspex]] waiting to draw cards off a board wipe?\nIf you have an empty hand and not many useful cards in the graveyard, dredging [[Golgari Thug]] or [[Stinkweed Imp]] may be better than drawing a card since they load up your graveyard.\nDredge cards in the graveyard will save you from losing with an empty library if you dredge them instead of drawing a card (I've never had to do this in playtesting, but it's good to know!).\n\n"}]}
