This combo uses these two cards which are not in the database yet:



I am in love with Increasing Vengeance right now, so I am posting another use for it.

Run either mono-red or some color-filtering (ie. Cascade Bluffs) I haven\'t worked up a full deck for it yet, so it depends on how you want your build. Counter-burn seems obvious.

You will need 3R to cast Seething Song.   [RR to cast Increasing Vengenace to copy Seething Song.  [8 red mana + 1]

Use to cast Geosurge.  [21 red mana for artifacts/creatures]

Option 1 :  Cast a 22/1 Lightning Serpent with trample/haste. Rawr.

Option 2 :  Cast a Sigil of Distinction with 21 charge counters on it to make all your hasty critters, including your Lightning Serpents, just.......enormous.

Option 3 :  Cast Everflowing Chalice with 10 colorless mana counters. Hmmm, what could we do with that kind of mana in a red/burn deck?........



The synergy with all this is really nice. The Geosurge combo just packs the punch. With proper mana filtering, I\'d love to be able to use Lavalanche effectively with the Chalice. If anyone can figure this out, lemme know.

Crap, the site logged me out before I finished, so all my stuff didn't show. Reposting in a just a min, with the images.  Sorry about that.

Ok, this f***ing website sucks. My combo is "already created" so I just wasted all my time retyping that crap.  So here are the card images.....you can fill in the gaps. I'm not doing this again.

just as a note, you can't use the mana generated from the Seething Song to cast the Increasing Vengeance copying the Seething Song.  You would need to have enough mana to cast Seething Song and copy it with Increasing Vengeance.  The play would work out like this:


Use 2R to cast Seething Song
Retain Priority and respond to Seething Song with Increasing Vengeance using RR targeting Seething Song
Increasing Vengeance resolves and copys Seething Song
Seething Song resolves adding RRRRR to your pool
Seething Song resolves adding RRRRR to your pool
Cast Geosurge using RRRR
Cast Increasing Vengeance from Graveyard targeting Geosurge for 3RR
Increasing Vengeance resolves copying Geosurge twice
Geosurge  resolves adding RRRRRRR that can only be used for artifact/creature spells
Geosurge resolves adding RRRRRRR that can only be used for artifact/creature spells
Geosurge resolves adding RRRRRRR that can only be used for artifact/creature spells

Net result is the same but you need to make sure you have at least 2RRR available before you start instead of the 3R you mentioned.  If you use Chimeric Mass you're almost Standard Legal, you just have to figure out a way to replace the Seething Song, maybe Koth?  A Koth with 5 mountains out and an Increasing Vengeance in the G/Y means you'll be able to cast Geosurge and copy it twice using Vengeance flashback'd netting 22 mana as well so you can drop the Chimeric Mass.

You're right. I forgot the "stack" as I was putting this together in my head. But as you say, it does still work....just needs one more mana available to start. Thanks for the reminder. I noticed you put up your Koth idea too. Geosurge/Increasing Vengeance is good stuff.
