I hate to be the one posting alot but I feel like it's only helping. When I click on a link to a card like Binding Agony or any other card, then click on "Vist page". Once I'm on that page is says that's I'm not logged in. However when I go to log in. The web site says that I'm allready logged in.

Harshjist, Vile Punisher {3}{W}{B}{R}

Legendary creature - Elder Dragon

Flying, vigilance, lifelink

At the beginning of each combat on your turn, create an Aura Curse Enchantment token that's attached to target creature an opponent controls.

Creatures you don't conrol with Curses attached to then have "When damage is delt to this creature, i'ts controls takes that much damage".

7/7

I wanted to make a creature that made an effect like Treacherous Link and Binding Agony.

Thanks for the recommendations Beebles! They're all great.

I used to run Protector of the Crown, I think he came out due to high CMC. Now that Fiendlash and Blazing Sunsteel are things, I think i'll pop him back in since he can combo with one of those/Arcbond (as you said) + Spiteful Shadows/Binding Agony + indestructible.

City of Brass and Tarnished Citadel should definitely be in here, thank you! I'm going to pass on Ancient Tomb since it doesn't make color, though it is a good suggestion. Anything that we can damage ourselves with is great haha.

Command the Dreadhorde has been in my maybe list for a long time and I'm super tempted to make room for it. Any thoughts which card would be good to slot out?

Wheel of Misfortune is hilarious. It's a definite maybe.

I actually do run both Axgard Armory and Open the Armory, just forgot to update the mainboard. Thanks for the heads up!

king-saproling on You hit like a kobold! - A Brash Taunter Deck

Cool idea! You might like these: Mogg Maniac, Spiteful Sliver, Stuffy Doll, Coalhauler Swine, Arcbond, Pariah's Shield, Wall of Souls, Druid's Call, Sheltering Ancient (make opp's dude big, then fight it with taunter!), Evolutionary Escalation, Spiteful Shadows, Binding Agony, Gratuitous Violence, Dictate of the Twin Gods, Trove of Temptation, Lure.

It's too bad you don't have white. There are a lot of white cards that are similar to or work nicely with Brash Taunter. These are just a few: Guilty Conscience, Entangler, Pariah, Boros Reckoner

Xantcha is so rad. Have you considered Heartstone? It would make it easier for everybody to use her draw ability.

These might interest you too: Revel in Riches, Unholy Indenture, Minion's Return, Blessing of Leeches, Soul Channeling, Visions of Brutality, Treacherous Link, Ragged Veins, Binding Agony, Spiteful Shadows, Unnatural Hunger, Errantry, Inner Demon, Psychotic Fury, Vampiric Link (unlike lifelink, the controller of the aura gets life, not the creature's controller)

ShreddedByCrows on [EDH] Let's Spread the Plague

Hey discipleofgary73! At first, let me thank you a lot for your feedback. It's very helpful.

Your theme suggestions are all really nice and I already tested some of them before to come up with the version presented there.

Those which didn't make the cut were the following ones: Pestilence Demon (a cool card, with the perfect flavorness, despite being too clunky atm for my meta - I'll add it to the maybeboard for more casual runs), Phyrexian Plaguelord (a pretty good creature removal I'm not convinced about being needed there / nice flavor tho), Pox (land hate always draws you a big target on the head in my pod, but still this could be a game-changing card that fits the theme and powers up Burning Sands / I'm definitely up to try it again), Torment of Hailfire (even if I like that card as one - if not maybe the one, the chosen one - of my favorites, I'm a bit bored of playing it all my decks containing Black - but you're right, it does make sense in there).

I do like the suggestion of Bubbling Muck as most of the deck is black-centered, I'll certainly make room for it. Pontiff of Blight also feels nice, but I think I already got too many mana sinks and don't storm off efficiently enough to use him at its best. Heartless Hidetsugu is an interesting one. It's some bonkers lifeloss outlet I'll always want in a Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck, not sure if it goes there though because of the redundancy it creates with just a bit better cards. Torment of Scarabs is good but one-sided, and generates some hate / I cut Painful Quandary for that reason so I doubt about it being better. Binding Agony is a weird card I actually didn't know it existed - it's like a cheap Repercussion onto one creature - which feels fair. With White enchantment recursion and infinite doll-combos it could be dope I second you on that, I'll see if I figure out a way where it could be nearly as effective there since it's surely an appealing tool.

Otherwise I also tried Black Market for some time, but preferred to run Revel in Riches over it given that it does allow me to generate other mana sources than only black ones. I'm still not really sure about it, but having both in the list feels redundant as the ramp for pestilence effects to occur asap wasn't the main problem I was facing through my few games. I might still reconsider it if things don't stand this way. It's not that cheap to play at 5ccm and doesn't make any difference with Revel in Riches at the attention it attracts from my playgroup removals.

Even if it's a bit sad, I've to admit that Garza is pretty much useless as it stands. Sometimes in long-term games where everyone is playing Control and exterminated the aggro players, I'm able to cast her and draw between one or two cards with her second ability, but that's all. I wish there was a way to make us of her without choosing to go for a typical Voltron strategy involving the Swords' package / Greaves / Jitte / etc. That being told, Kusari-Gama could be of use if I decide to go for more creatures. The whole new Sword of Sinew and Steel you also suggested enables me to deal with things actually out of my range and I might consider tuning up a bit the decklist for it. Scytheclaw is cool and fits the themes, I forgot about that card.

Smoke is overall a really good card, I just hope it doesn't turn the deck too much into a Staxxy one / feels pretty good against Saskia. I'm not fond of Counterflux but I guess it also could be useful against this annoying Pod dude. Fool's Demise is a card I never played because I always felt it was overcosted, but I might give it its chance for once and see what happens!

I'll let you know about future changes if you're interested, thanks again for your help!

Solely theme-based, not necessarily things that will improve the deck suggestions: Bubbling Muck, Pontiff of Blight, Pestilence Demon, Heartless Hidetsugu, Pox, Phyrexian Plaguelord, Torment of Hailfire, Torment of Scarabs, Binding Agony. I've seen agony be used for infinite combos with stuffy doll, but as far as I know, they all need white.
I think Black Market could help power up the pestilence effects.
Some goodies for Garza: Kusari-Gama, Nemesis Mask, Scytheclaw, Argentum Armor, Ring of Valkas, Sword of Sinew and Steel, and Sword of Fire and Ice.
And some final thoughts: Smoke, Counterflux, and Fool's Demise.

Very nice list! You might consider these cards: Sunforger , Shizo, Death's Storehouse , Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep , Weathered Wayfarer , Viridian Longbow , Unquestioned Authority , Curse of Opulence , Curse of Disturbance , Curse of the Nightly Hunt , Open the Armory , Heliod's Pilgrim , Three Dreams , Fumiko the Lowblood , Maddening Imp , Mother of Runes .

I have a Queen M deck built around rattlesnake damage combos (e.g. Spitemare + Indestructibility + Pariah + Binding Agony ) if you'd like to check it out. It's janky but fun, and has some similarities to your build so I think you might appreciate it.
