DemonDragonJ on Diabolical Machinations

I have replaced Blood Tyrant and Garza Zol, Plague Queen with Demon of Loathing and Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  Flip, which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 4.42 to 4.37, which is very good, because the newer cards far better fit the theme of this deck than do the older cards; this is the first time that I have put a double-faced card into one of my decks, because I was deliberately avoiding doing so, but that version of Bolas was too excellent to not put into this deck.

If you're big on creatures, Sedris, the Traitor King can reanimate them for you. Any discard/mill effects become quite a bit better in such a deck. Stuff like Buried Alive, Entomb and Final Parting all become much better in Sedris, as do stuff like Vile Entomber or Oriq Loremage, even Dreamscape Artist becomes really interesting. Self-mill is much better too, as long as you're not on a combo. Sedris is great with a higher MV deck, since you can reanimate big creatures to swing the one time, and stuff like Court of Cunning can resupply you with creatures as needed, and there are lots of cards that care about a higher MV (Protection Racket is incredible if you aren't on a combo and you just want people to either take damage or give you tons of cards, it's hilarious with Esquisite Blood as you gain what they lose) as I already mentioned. With Sedris I feel like you'd want to look for creatures that have good ETB effects, and build less around combo and more around either attacking with Unearthed bodies or using ETBs like Callous Bloodmage to generate value.

Thraximundar is also a reasonably interesting choice if you want an older Commander and don't mind being slower, and Sol'kanar the Swamp King is great if you run lots of black spells and everyone you play against runs black, Swampwalk and lifegain are small but neat abilities to have. Keep in mind I tend to skew older when I look for Commanders, and like less heavily played ones, but the new Xander is very strong (might attract a lot of attention), Crosis is strong without attracting as much attention right away, Bolas is always a good pick if you like the character, Garza Zol, Plague Queen can get bigger and draws the odd card, it's a bit harder to find good Commanders for creature driven decks in Grixis, most of the Commanders care about instants/sorceries/artifacts, hopefully some of these will be helpful.

Hey, I'm thinking of making a coronavirus-themed deck. I don't have a list so far, but I've got a couple of gatherer searches to narrow down the scope of cards.

Search 1 Name: OR pesti pox nause infec sick plagu contag 

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&name=|[pesti]|[pox]|[nause]|[infec]|[sick]|[plagu]|[contag]

Search 2 Rules Text: OR infect "-1/-1" wither germ proliferate 

https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&name=+![pesti]+![pox]+![nause]+![infec]+![sick]+![plagu]+![contag]&text=|[infect]|[%22-1/-1%22]|[wither]|[germ]|[proliferate]

So, who's the commander? There seems to be enough black cards to go mono-black with Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, but I could branch out to red and blue using Garza Zol, Plague Queen

Any thoughts? Has anybody else done this yet? Send me some deck links if so!

This feels like a Show and Tell for Vampires. Just think of any of the following being dropped on turn 3 (or even turn 1 off Dark Ritual !):

Like...what the fuck do you even do against a turn 3 (turn 2 off a mana dork) Blood Baron of Vizkopa in Modern?

@ Darky

Hmm if your going for a Vampire tribal, you have some options:

Personally I'll go for Jeleva as she is pretty fun, or Etrata as not much people built her yet.

On a side note, I need help lol. Lately my Nahiri deck hasn't been performing enough, so any ideas how I can improve the deck would be appreciated!

The cedh tier list is a tier list of commanders. Example, kess and jeleva are obviosly better than the tier 5 Garza Zol, Plague Queen, but if you just made grixis storm with Garza Zol, Plague Queen then it would be nearly as good of a deck. Other than commanders like teferi most cedh decks are not commander dependent. This looks like a casual deck with a lot of combos, I don't play cedh but my advice from before definitely still stands.

Spenzerr on Grixis Tap Dancers

Hey thanks, I wanted Garza Zol, Plague Queen just because Inalla just isn't on mtgo yet and I thought she was the best when looking at the others. Inalla would be pretty good I think just able to get out every wizard for haste and I could splash other creatures to do some more broken things.

I like the tutor ideas but I found that just searching up the win con with all the cards to be boring and not too fun. I will add some though just to make things interesting.

I agree on the instant one time untaps so i'll add some things you suggested and also the recursion.

I really like Unscythe, Killer of Kings but I found another scythe that excites me called Scythe of the Wretched. I'll probably add both if not more to get a scythe theme going if there's more.

I haven't even played it but just threw together the list after seeing yours but I might build it and see how it goes. I'm a returning magic player and am getting into commander online hoping to find a deck I like enough to build in paper, but having a bunch of fun commander decks to play on mtgo doesn't seem too bad either.

Cheers!

Looks neat!

Are you using Garza Zol, Plague Queen for any reason? The new legendary Inalla, Archmage Ritualist is pretty easy to get right now, and taps for effects(and lets you get copies of Trinket Mage and Inspired Sprite to get more draws/artifact search.) Praetor's Grasp is always an amazing card to find something in an opponents deck.

Since you have a combo you want to get out, you might like cards like Whir of Invention, Artificer's Intuition, the more expensive Fabricate to get paradise out, and for getting the Freed from the Real try Drift of Phantasms and Dimir Machinations. You can also run the other transmute's like Dizzy Spell or Clutch of the Undercity etc. to find other things in your deck too.

Racecourse Fury is not especially high on the threat list, so you can have essentially free haste-enable on the cheap.Quicksilver Dagger enables tap+damage+draw a card for cheap. Unscythe, Killer of Kings is a silly card that might find a place.Hematite Talisman and Lapis Lazuli Talisman let you untap other creatures to boot.

I'd lose some of the instant/one-off untaps- they're cheap but only good for one motion, whereas you want to be doing it over and over again. Same with ETB like Breaching Hippocamp. Chain Stasis is fun because you could pay 2 to do it again on another creature, making it 2 - trigger inspired. Tidal Bore can let you get out an extra untap or tap when you're strapped for mana.

Niblis of the Breath and Puppeteer are really good(and are 3-drops for things like phantasm and machination searches), as are Stonybrook Angler.

Thassa's Ire isn't the most mana-effective option but it's a one-drop that lets you do it over and over again as long as you have mana. You also may want something like Fortuitous Find to bring back things. Recurr is always good! :D
