Death Match

Enchantment

Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, that creature's controller may have target creature of his or her choice get -3/-3 until end of turn.

Simerix on ContrOloro

The deck is more of a life gain deck than it is a control deck. You have a lot of removal, but that's all that makes it controlling.

Highest recommended card: Vile Consumption. This card is brutal in this deck if you don't have too many creatures.

Hallowed Burial is a highly underrated board wipe.

Card suggestions: Sphere of Safety, Approach of the Second Sun, Aura of Silence, Austere Command, Cleansing Nova, Damn, Darksteel Mutation, Doomskar, Epicure of Blood, Erebos's Intervention, Ghostly Prison, Infernal Grasp, Liesa, Shroud of Dusk, Narset, Parter of Veils, Propaganda, Rest in Peace, Righteous Cause, Rule of Law, Telepathy, Time Wipe, Trespasser's Curse, Utter End, Venser's Journal, Witch of the Moors

Mean/weird cards that I would probably play: AEther Barrier, Archmage Ascension, Death Match, Lightmine Field, Meishin, the Mind Cage, Overburden, Porphyry Nodes, Spreading Plague, Tainted AEther, Portcullis, Magus of the Moat, Magus of the Tabernacle, Silent Arbiter, Serene Master

*Obviously play what you want

asparling_tappedout on Acererak combo

I see you're playing a lot of board wipes. Normally I'd recommend Cabal Paladin for an Acererak the Archlich deck, but I doubt it'd stay alive all that long. If you're really committed to this much creature hate, you might consider running Death Match.

I'd also recommend running some more generic removal (personally I run Unstable Obelisk in pretty much everything) as cards like Torpor Orb will completely shut your deck down.

Thank you! That is what i thought, hut i have a friend trying to make an infinite venture into the dungeon combo from scratch and he asked me about auto targeting on etb. I found this and Death Match. I knew match would work but i wasnt certain about warclub. Thanks for the clarification!

NomadicJoe96 on Colfenor Combos List

Nice list so far!

In terms of Creatures That Can Get Themselves Back, Colfenor reads, "Whenever Colfenor, the Last Yew or another creature you control dies, return up to one OTHER target creature card with lesser toughness from your graveyard to your hand."

Consider: Desecrated Tomb and other fun interactive cards. Carnival of Souls+Essence Warden or Soul's Ascendant (etc)= unlimited Black mana. Or have fun with Death Match or Black Market etc etc. This commander is gonna be fun!

May not be the most competitive, but would be hilarious at a casual table!

dingusdingo on Commanders that create an interesting …

Fumiko the Lowblood . Creates an interesting dynamic on the board every time your commander is out. Lots of neat effects to pair it with, whether you go for untap restrictions like Smoke or Static Orb , or just want to cause games to end quickly with things like Furnace of Rath

Also a big fan of Horobi, Death's Wail . Pack it full of every single death black effect you can find, like Death Match Death Pits of Rath , Mindslicer Pestilence and whatever else you can find. You'll win far more games than you imagine as you create a board state so toxic no one can develop properly. You don't even need free target effects, but it helps.

Kaervek the Merciless is another general that allows some unique building imo. Stuff yourself full of board wipes like Pyroclasm Anger of the Gods Toxic Deluge Earthquake and similar to keep the board clear while you build up to 7 mana. Stuff your deck full of fatties who can survive small red sweeper effects, and punish players with the Kaervek trigger and your fatties.

For a serious competitive answer, look at Tasigur, the Golden Fang . Highly political deck with a strong color identity, and lots of different infinite combos available as your means of winning. The GY recursion allows you to play control in a format that is traditionally hard to play control in.

Death Match

Bitterblossom

Sensei's Divining Top

Cabal Coffers

Gaea's Cradle

Caustic Caterpillar or Seal of Primordium

just some real expensive ideas. Even though it's not great, I love the flavor of death match in this deck.
