Play boldwyr heavyweights, and then bring up dread cacodemon, which destroys your opponents creatures. Add massacre wurm, and your opponents loses 2 life for whatever creature(s) destroyed this way. Won't work if his creatures are hex proof or indestructible. Pretty good combo nonetheless.

hexproof won't matter as nothing is targeting.

your combo is kind of heavy mana wise especially since hidious end will do the same thing, it would be easier to prevent your opponent from searching their library shadow of a doubt, mindlock orb, stranglehold come to mind, only you gain,

another option is follow the heavyweights with act of treason or the like, and take control of what they search for.

Massacre Wurm isn't really necessary, but it would be nice. But I like your idea of shadow of a doubt or mindlock orb, and then perhaps maralen of the mornsong, esperzoa, and/or vedalken mastermind--you'd almost have a deck...

a bit mana heavy, and you need the wurm out before the the demon for the opponent to lose the life.

Yeah, I wouldn't quite call it a "free" giant considering the mana cost.

I would. What kind of person doesn't have 14 mana in a game? I mean, with all of these Emrakuls being played, it should be really easy to play this awesome 8/8 giant.

I suppose I should delete the massacre wurm and just keep the Boldwyr Heavyweights, dread cacodemon, stranglehold, and Maralen of Mornsong. Those 4 cards would make a great deck:
4 Maralen of the Mornsong (1BB)
4 Boldwyr Heavyweights (2RR)
3 Dread Cacodemon (7bbb)
4 Shadow of a Doubt (bb)
4 Stranglehold (3R)
4 Doom blade (1b) or 4 Terror (1b)
4 Lightning bolt (R)
4 Demonfire (XR)
4 Dark Ritual (b)

Why would you even need Cacodemon? It costs double of Damnation and taps down your creatures.

I'm really confused. Are you trying to use the Heavyweights to fish the demon out of your library and into play? Because only your opponents get to bring out a creature when Heavyweights comes into play.

Actually I wouldn't have the above combo--it was a mistake. Strangehold, Maralen of the Mornsong, Boldwyr Heavyweights, and/or Shadow of Doubt would be better. I would prefer dread cacodemon in the deck to damnation, as damnation would destroy your creatures, and also damnation is a 25$ card, more than I am willing to pay for a MTG card (although not an issue for everyone here). Dread Cacodemon is expensive, but it would work well in a multiplayer game of 4-5 people, where the game tends to draw out longer, and you'd be able to bring it up with Maralen of the Mornsong if you needed it.

Nothing of this work, since the Boldwyr help the opponent to search a creature, a way to counterbalance his low cost and huge destructive power.

Really if Boldwyr was like ateam said: a 8/8, trample, 4 manas, with a creature tutor better than Natural Order, i have certain that almost all eternal decks would have a plenty of copies of them XP.

Maralen of the Mournsong doesn't work with the Heavyweights. She makes it so players can't draw cards, but they can still search libraries. I would suggest having Torpor Orb, Mindlock Orb, or Aven Mindcensor.

@ Torto

That's not what he was trying to do. He was letting them get out the creature, then destroying it with Cacodemon and getting life with the Wurm.
