Here is my attempt at a control style deck. End game, you cast vish kal and combo off getting him infinitely big and killing with general damage. Aside from a couple of GY recursions, i tried avoiding infinite loops that would kill before an attack.
one of my favorite kills though, perilous myr + heartless summons + endurring renewal
It looks pretty interesting and the perilous myr + enduring renewal particularly appeals to the Heartless Havengul player in me. I'm curious as to how well it does. The infinite big Vish Kal is cool but without haste or shroud or hexproof it seems like a pretty easy to stop strategy. You also have a lot of LTB effects but you don't have much in the way of sac effects to take advantage of them. Phyrexian altar etc.
I have a lot of degenerate decks, so I attempted at building this deck with keeping things as fair as i could. I agree that it would be more competive with phyrexian altar, ashnod's altar, blasting station. you could easily remove a couple of the global destruction spells to add these instead or alternatively boots of swiftness/lightning greaves.
that said i think i still managed like 5 infiinite combos

gideon, champion of justice

sorin, lord of innistrad
debating on adding in merciless decree and vizkopa guildmage
I think Sorin for Gideon is a terrible choice, because sorin's emblems, and ultimate are much more useful/likely to go off. Gideon doesn't do much except accrue loyalty counters and make himself a giant target. But that entirely depends on your meta/gameplay. How was Sorin been for you? because if you even get two emblems, that's a huge permanent boost for your creatures.
Vizkopa guildmage is an excellent addition, all that lifegain essentially turns into lifedrain.
Merciless Decree is alright, it depends on what kind of wipe you want to run.
