Unlife on BBEG Deck Ideas

5 months ago

saluma I like Tiamat, it is 100% a DnD BBEG and dragons are big and nasty.

KBK7101 I like The Tarrasque, but it does feel kinda meh, similar to Ghalta who's very strong, but just doesn't feel as 'world-ending'. I'd forgotten the gods though, maybe some sort of aristocrats-animator thing. The captain is fun, but he has the more 'hit and run' thing going for him as a pirate.

DreadKhan I've played with Kresh the Bloodbraided before, he can be fun but he can also feel a bit clunky which was why I;d dropped him previously. Sauron, the Dark Lord has that traditional world ending feel, and his ward cost means he dodges most removal. I'd forgotten goad was a thing, it brings me back to Queen Marchesa, a more political goaded build to manipulate other decks. In terms of the decks competing against one another, I think they're fairly balanced at the moment, but they're also still being tuned and adjusted.

legendofa Well, gonna start with a massive thank you first, that's a wicked great breakdown. With this massive list, maybe I'll add a second in command deck along with the BBEG one....

I'm not worried about it being directly connected to the forgotten realms, just kinda having a DnD class/BBEG 'vibe' for lack of a better word (I mean, my paladin deck design is knight tribal helmed by Syr Cadian, Knight Owl) Among that massive list, Konda, Lord of Eiganjo, Progenitus, Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, Umbris, Fear Manifest, Momir Vig, Simic Visionary, and Malfegor all stand out. Your dimir list also reminded me of Runo Stromkirk  Flip as a big monster summoner.

TypicalTimmy Dihada is an interesting choice, maybe a deck full of brainwashed missing adventurers. A lot of these suggestions keep leading me back to mardu, so I may take a deeper dive there.

Either way, this has been massively helpful. Course, now I have the opposite problem, so many choices to narrow down.

For my breakdown here, I'm focusing on characters who are villains in their story arc and characters who don't have much specific backstory. Pretty much any legendary creature can be flavored as a villain in front of the right deck. I'm also not focusing on the Forgotten Realms sets, I'm broadening the net.

What's available:

: Eldrazi or artifacts. Most of the artifacts are either hero-aligned or not an independent threat, like Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut. If you want a challenge, Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate, but I wouldn't, just for lack of depth.

: Villains are oddly centered on Old Kamigawa. Konda, Lord of Eiganjo is a near-immortal emperor and master duelist. Hokori, Dust Drinker is destroying resources and the land. And, of course, there's the apocalyptic, unrelenting evil that is Hazduhr the Abbot.

: Heidar, Rimewind Master is an elementalist fanatic. The manipulations of Orvar, the All-Form or Kami of the Crescent Moon could cause problems, as could a big sea creature like Tromokratis or Charix, the Raging Isle.

: Pretty much everyone. It's easier to count the people who aren't outright villains.

: Relatively few actual villains, but a bunch of manipulators, dragons, and angry people that could fill the role.

: A bunch of wild animals and nature types. No scheming villains, but a good selection of rampaging monsters. Meng Huo, Barbarian King would be a unique choice (if you're willing to.proxy or drop $150+).

: Polukranos Reborn  Flip is the most (only?) villainous character in these colors.

: Lots of options, from the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Lazav, Dimir Mastermind to the illithid Captain N'ghathrod, Gisa and Geralf's necromancer army, whatever Umbris, Fear Manifest is, and a lot more.

: A few options, but lots of depth in them. Insane biologist Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and his magnum opus Experiment Kraj, nature's avenger Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, or maybe Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait is flooding the area.

: A very deep and wide pool for villains. Vampires, demons, dragons, demon dragons, warlords, torturers...

: Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager joins the ranks of the big scary monsters. A more calculating BBEG would probably be one of the death lords like Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Vhati il-Dal or Old Rutstein or probably more storyline villains than BBEG material.

: A very shallow pool. Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl, Rubinia Soulsinger, and maybe Falco Spara, Pactweaver or Katilda and Lier (mostly because of Lier) are the best options for an Archenemy villain. I'd throw Kros, Defense Contractor in, but goading is kind of limited when you're the Archenemy.

: This color set will probably be either a cold, distant, merciless villain or a manipulative puppet master. Raffine, Scheming Seer and Oloro, Ageless Ascetic fall into the first category, and Sen Triplets and The Ever-Changing 'Dane in the second. Varina, Lich Queen is another option for a zombie army.

: Big, angry, and violent, with some good dragons. Xira, the Golden Sting and Vazi, Keen Negotiator break out of this mold, but they strike me as more lieutenant-types, not arc villains by themselves.

: Not much; these tend to be either heroic or big smashy monsters. Uril, the Miststalker could work.

: Queen Marchesa is a classic, as you mentioned, and Edgar Markov is right there, too. Actually, this color set has some good depth and variety for an Archenemy. Some are more overtly villainous, and some are just very martial. My top picks would be Edgar, Licia, Sanguine Tribune, or Tariel, Reckoner of Souls.

: Mostly either weird esotericism or "nature's avenger" types. I don't think any of these are outright villainous in-story, but most of them have loose or vague stories. With the right deck, this could be a unique and interesting villain. Riku of Two Reflections is my top pick.

Four-color sets in general: Any of them would work, except for a couple of the .

: Use this color set if you want a truly apocalyptic feel. saluma mentioned Tiamat, which is a very good choice, and finding a way to get through Progenitus or O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami is a story of epic scale.

Not sure if you are still passionate about this deck, but I think there are definitely some fun cards you could include. I run a mediocre, and admittedly somewhat aimless (been tweeking the list), Omnath, Locus of the Roil deck. Lot of similarities there, feel free to check my list. This is all off the top of my head so hang on.

You get a lot of card advantage out of your commander, but it never hurts to grab it while you can. The Great Henge is more cEDH level, but it has a lot of mechanics that fit into many roles.

I’m not great at sifting through all the wincons on lists, so I may not seen the whole system. That said, filtering systems are really helpful. Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and Greater Good are some of my favorites, and can easily dig for what you need.

Having a back up plan, even if it’s just going wide, helps too. Not sure how you feel about infinite combos, I generally resent them, but having an ended to two hour games can be a relief. Hullbreaker Horror is an absolute monster. Easy infinite mana, for whatever you might need. Paired with Deadeye Navigator and say Avenger of Zendikar, you can quickly deck yourself.

I don’t know, I’m not great at building succinct decks, but these are some tools I use in mine.

Good luck!

Evolutionary Perfection

Sorcery

Each creature you control becomes a copy of target creature until end of turn.

Creatures you control ignore the legend rule until end of turn.

There are some species and races the Simic wholly ignored. One being Angels. Since Angels are not biological entities, there was really no reason to study them. However, it turns out their blood is so pure, it can essentially force perfection within any form. As a result, the Simic Combine, now thirsty for Angelic blood, waged a war of genocide in the name of 'progress'.


If I recall, the Simic Combine were really the original villains of Ravnica, with Momir Vig, Simic Visionary having created and unleashed Experiment Kraj. So turning them into bloodthirsty savages again seemed appropriate.


I understand it's better suited for Eldraine, but I'd like to see a MTG version of Captain Hook and the crocodile that ate his hand (and clock) on Ixalan.

So your challenge is to make a Partners With pairing for them both.

  • Please make it a Human Pirate and a Dinosaur Crocodile.

Epicurus: That card is insane. Just imagine casting this in Momir Vig, Simic Visionary. Mutate anything onto Momir to tutor for Auspicious Starrix. Mutate that onto Momir. He searches for any creature you want and puts it on top of the library for Starrix to dig into. And you still get another creature as Momir aready has two mutations.


Dug too Deep

Sorcery

Until end of turn, creature cards in your hand have "as an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of lands." and "This spell costs less to cast, where X is the number of lands you sacrificed this turn."

Basic landcycling


Create a legendary cyclops. You may have it be a tribal commander.

I've been playing around with Sultai Elves for a while, and this looks like a very solid rendition. As a couple of suggestions, Urborg Elf gets a little more color fixing in, although it's not especially cost-efficient compared to, say, the Hierarchs, and Rashmi, Eternities Crafter is solid by herself, especially with extra turns, and has a very smooth interaction with Momir Vig, Simic Visionary in green-creature-heavy decks.

Thanks everyone. I think I will try out Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and may just switch a little to combo.

RNR_Gaming on Need help with Simic Storm

So, I actually suggest switching commanders. They're not every storm friendly. Now, Momir Vig, Simic Visionary on the other hand has a very established, fun, and well thought out storm build with multiple price points and most of the cards would carry over into other deck projects :) Just looks up Hack Ball I believe the list is still on tappedout - Read the primer and go nuts.
