Subject: traumatize + guiltfeeder

Hi all, I noticed that there haven't been many card 
combo strategys posted lately so I thought I would 
share one that is in my new deck, since some of the 
articles on here inspitred it: traumatize and the 
guiltfeeder.


there's been a lot of talk about traumatize, and well 
there should be: it's a very powerful card, and can 
sway a game one way or the other depending on when 
it's played. 

the cards:
Card:Guiltfeeder
Type: Creature - Horror
Color: Black
Set: Judgment
Mana Cost: 3BB
P/T: 0/4
Rarity: Rare
Text: 
Guiltfeeder can't be blocked except by artifact and/or 
black creatures. Whenever ~this~ attacks and isn't 
blocked, target player loses 1 life for each card in 
his or her graveyard.

Card: Traumatize
Type: Sorcery
Color: Blue
Set: Odyssey
Cost: 3UU
Rarity: Rare
Text: Target player puts the top half of his or her 
library, rounded down, into his or her graveyard.
Flavor Text:Dreads had half a mind to leave.


how I use it:
get the guilt feeder out, but only when you already 
have traumatize(tutor for it) you don't want to leave 
it on the board long enough for them to do anything 
with it. I also like to have a recoil in my hand if I 
am playing against white, so that if they put 
something like pacify on the feeder, I can remove it 
at least long enough to use the feeder once(all it 
takes usually) on the turn you get to attack with the 
feeder, fire off the traumatize first which should get 
about 30 cards in their graveyard.. attack, and 
usually the game ends(unless they have been gaining a 
lot of life) the guilt feeder is a great choice 
because it gets around cards like CoP:Black and 
moment's peace, and even worship because it does not 
inflict damage, it causes loss of life... there's a 
difference! the only thing that might seem to stop 
this is a black creature right? well, that's when I 
board in something like Leshrac's Rite or another 
enchantment that grants swampwalk!

I put this combo into my discard/megrim deck and it 
works great.. use the discard stuff to keep things 
like wrath of god and mutilate from them, and make 
this a 2 turn manuever... also the discard stuff will 
make their grave pretty think all by itself, so if 
they counter the traumatize(and you can't counter the 
counter) :) there is still a fat enough graveyard to 
make this work.

enjoy!
