attach pariah and treacherous link to one of your opponent's creature . . . you can activate pestilence if you want an overkill

Sweet...  So, All damage dealt to you is then re-directed to the opponent's creature, which is then re-directed to your opponent.  That's quite lovely.

Wait... correct me if I'm wrong, but unless there's some odd logic to the "redirect" mechanic the damage wouldn't multiply or grow or even do anything at all really, it'd just cycle endlessly between the creature and it's owner. Even if you destroyed Pariah to end the cycle it'd still be only one damage in the end.

It's unfortunately really, because the concept is awesome. And Treacherous Link looks like a great card, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Jade-you enchant the opponents creature with both enchantments, howevr you are still the "you" for pariah since you control it, as a result damage dealt to you is redirected to your opponents creature which is then redirected to its controller, ie your opponent.  so for each activation of pestilence your opponet takes 3-theirs, their creatures, and yours.

Treacherous link is a great card i like the idea of using it with pariah to create a damage shield for you.  usually when i play it I go with reds heavy creature only burn spells such as fire convenant and shivan meteor

This combo seems so wrong and dirty I must make a black white deck using it now.
