Update:

Replaced Howl from Beyond with Sugar Rush.

Usually a better option unless you have 5+ open mana.

You could try taking black in a different direction; like with combat tricks, myriad, extort, deathtouch… stuff like that. Some of the most enjoyable decks I’ve played have been when I make them out of bulk. I enjoy the challenge of making do with whatever is around. There’s a ton of stuff out there so I’d try using some or all of the you’ve got but never actually look at or consider. Embrace the inefficiency- have one or two pro-white guys, maybe someone with shadow, a scuffed up old Howl from Beyond… the deck will never play the same way twice! Build the deck, and then look at mono black commanders you have or that are cheap in your price range. You might suddenly see a few of them in a new light!

I do have some ideas in mind when it comes to closing out a game with Poison counters. But you don't have to make it through a couple times - all it takes is once and it's the beginning of the end. Some traditional combo pieces would be:

And other spells of that ilk. Another synergy are +1/+1 counters. Forgotten Ancient, Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire and The Ozolith are real powerhouses if you wish to go that route. This synergy does telegraph your moves more and you'd be less explosive.

But what to do when the table goes against you? I recommend stax. Tying up the resources of the table, forcing slower and less impactful turns on your opponents while the clock continues ticking. Cards like Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice help break parity as you will likely have access to more mana than your opponents while they're being held back. Some oldies but goldies would be:

  • Winter Orb
  • Static Orb
  • Ensnaring Bridge (This has good synergy well with the aforementioned pump spells as you can still attack with low power infect creatures)
  • Tangle Wire (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)
  • Parallax Wave (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)
  • Parallax Tide (A personal Fave as you can proliferate these counters)

Playing pretty much any of these cards will likely earn you some ire - but the idea is to only play these when you have poison counters on your opponents and you can reliably proliferate them at least once or twice a turn. The idea is that you've already got your opponents where you want them, all you'd need to do is simply wait while the Poison counters end them.

Update:

Main Deck- Removed Dark Ritual, replaced with Cabal Ritual. Essentially dropping the possibility of a turn 1 Troll (via combo) in order to have better thematic synergy.

Sideboard- Removed Ray of Ruin, replaced with Howl from Beyond. A surprise finisher seems more useful than a redundant removal spell.

Hi NeverCloud,

I am always a fan of Skittles, and Poison (aka Infect/Toxic) and am happy to see yet another deck in my favorite archetypes. First bit of advice I must give you is that you must build a proper deck description. You don't need to build a whole primer, but you need to inform the visitor to your page of what cards/synergies are important. Is this deck meant for a 4 player pod? Single player? What kind of decks do you want to match this deck up against?

As for card recommendations, I understand you are going for a more stax (shout out to that foil tangle wire btw, I have one of my own and I absolutely adore that card) approach but I think having a bit of ramp may help you have more consistent games. I suggest the following:

I'm curious as to why you lean more heavily into a discard theme as opposed to a voltron or proliferation subtheme? On that note, I do have some card suggestions for you:

  • Sword of Feast and Famine - this helps you break parity with Tangle Wirefoil and Static Orbfoil in play. Unfortunately, yes you can't target it with Hatred or Howl from Beyond but I think that's a small price to pay to be able to get all of your lands to untap after just one attack.

  • Phyresis Outbreak - this card gets poison counters on opponents without targeting them, and is only amplified in efficiency by your commander after it takes just one swing against an opponent. It may be slower than what you're looking for, but worth considering.

That's it from me, I don't want to inundate you with card options. But I am genuinely curious as to how your games look, and what your usual paths to victory are.

I love your having the old cards (monster rabbit and that shade) but for Massacre Girl maybe you’ll want something like Howl from Beyond? Surprise voltron?

Howl from Beyond and Endless Scream are cool.

Dauthi Embrace is good

I personally like Reiver Demon

More people should be playing Void

I found Karn, Silver Golem to be very useful in a black deck to kill artifacts.

And I will always say Infiltration Lens and Glasses of Urza are underrated

Thanks Profet93! Such a good card, I’ma have to think of what it should replace. Thinking Howl from Beyond… I’ll have to mull this over for a bit.
