Nine-Lives Familiar Combo

[MONST3R]

Well, I can't play Arena as I'm getting the Network Error - Unable to get collection, I was on a roll trying to build a deck around Nine-Lives Familiar, Twitching Doll, Agatha's Soul Cauldron, and maybe Doubling Season I was going to try it in some sort of Insidious Roots shell.

The idea was to try to get Twitching Doll under Soul Cauldron and then put a 1+1+ on Nine-Lives Familiar and sac it for a ton of tokens every turn, this only gets crazier with Doubling Season.

As I'm unable to test it what do you guys think? I have been messing with Insidious Roots in the current meta and it seems to be a viable deck so this could only make it stronger right?

Seems like a fun idea though not sure how quick or good it would be. Probably best in a slow matchup where you aren't fending off lethal in the early turns.

[MONST3R]

this is why it would be in an Insidious Roots shell so it's not the only win-con, the Doubling Season could be over-kill but also would work with roots

Also, the fun thing with Nine-Lives Familiar and Doubling Season, the cat keeps coming back with more lives :P

When you get back in, try it in Historic with cards like Chthonic Nightmare and Fiend Artisan/Wight of the Reliquary.

this is what i'm thinking,

Deck
3 Agatha's Soul Cauldron
4 Blooming Marsh
2 Cankerbloom
1 Coati Scavenger
3 Deadly Brew
1 Doubling Season
5 Forest
2 Harvester of Misery
4 Insidious Roots
3 Nine-Lives Familiar
4 Overlord of the Balemurk
4 Restless Cottage
4 Rubblebelt Maverick
2 Scorn-Blade Berserker
2 Snarling Gorehound
4 Swamp
4 Twitching Doll
3 Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler
4 Underground Mortuary
1 Voldaren Thrillseeker

could probably use some more removal, maybe splash red for Blood Spatter Analysis as it is a great removal/re-animator option and with Roots, Twitching Doll and the land Blazemire Verge able to provide red mana I should be able to cast them.

they look fun, but I cant afford the rare wild cards to start playing Historic

But it's only once a turn

yea but what a turn and u just keep doing it, also with insidious roots on board they all tap for mana, throw in Tyar and they all tap for mana that turn

the combo is not one u can pull off every game but has a 2nd win con with roots, and while it can deal with aggro its not strong against it, where is shines is slow decks with lots of removal, as u can just re-summon everything back next turn.

I have been working on this deck for a while now. lovin the combo, just started running "All Will Be One," which means every time Nine-Lives Familiar comes down or returns from the graveyard, it hits for a ton of damage, the rest of the deck combos well with it also as every card other than some of the removal add counters.

the mechanic of the first four cards you mention working together is cool

as to the viability of the builds though i have no idea
