Nim Deathmantle

Artifact — Equipment

Equipped creature gets +2/+2, has intimidate, and is a black Zombie. (It can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a colour with it.)

Whenever a nontoken creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, you may pay . If you do, return that card to the battlefield and attach Nim Deathmantle to it.

Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

Necramus on Killing with (Konrad)

Profet93 Thanks for the love, and great suggestions! Glad you've enjoyed my take on Konrad. I agree on Priest of Forgotten Gods, as it seems to always prove to be a card that just kinda ends up sitting there. I'm thinking I'll sub in Contamination or Imp's Mischief per your suggestion. I don't love Nirkana Revenant as, for me, at 6 mana it really just feels like a win more card. Like I should already be winning if I'm in a position to cast this, unlike something like Grave Titan that can be part of a combo or actually comes down as a legitimate threat. Several of these cards you suggested I've never seen before, like Contamination. I don't love Infernal Darkness, especially sitting right next to Contamination, as I think it's strictly worse. The only worry I have with Contamination is it shutting off my own Coffers, but that's a pretty niche scenario and will likely still put me in a better position. I've had Lightning Greaves in the main before. I may add them back in, at some point. At worst, they say "pay 2 mana and make your opponent waste removal on this card or in response to playing this card." Nim Deathmantle I had not even considered, but I definitely am now. You've given me some great stuff to think about. I genuinely appreciate you! Definitely going to be looking at my list and seeing what I can squeeze in. Just ordered Contamination and Imp's Mischief. So, thanks again!

Given that you already run bitterblossom, Ophiomancer and reassembling skeleton, have you considered adding Contamination or even Infernal Darkness to your denial package?

Given you already run Grave titan and ashnod's altar, have you considered adding Nim Deathmantle for the combo?

Moreover, since you deck is fairly contingent upon having your commander out, would you consider some protection in the form of Lightning Greaves or my personal favorite, Imp's Mischief (which "counters" counterspells and redirects targeted removal, draw and extra turns?)

Deserted Temple - Untap coffers and political tool

Lastly, I would swap out Priest of Forgotten Gods, potentially for Nirkana Revenant for additional redundancy of crypt ghast. Priest just isn't impactful enough and it has too many requirements.

I love your low avg cmc, great work! Looking forward to hearing your thought process.

This is great take on the big green bean! I cannot recommend Nim Deathmantle enough because your opponents will be targeting your commander quick. Here is my slightly older list that explains this and other card choices. Hope you find it useful!

I see two regenerate cards but they don't work too good with what you are trying to do. I'd consider Undying Evil and Feign Death instead.

For Rakdos blink stuff the only suitable card for your strategy that comes to mind is Golden Argosy but it will blink your commander before combat damage it dealt, meaning he won't proc of your stuff dying while attacking. Nim Deathmantle could work too I suppose but it is more mana intensive.

BTW I'm curious why does the list run Ad Nauseam and Doomsday?

You have the right idea. Once Nim Deathmantle's trigger starts resolving, people have to wait until it's completely finished resolving before making responses. The mana payment happens as part of the resolution of the ability. If someone wants to exile Tithe Taker from the graveyard in your example, they have to do it before Deathmantle's trigger starts resolving.

Hey there,

So, I was playing this weekend, and a player was comboing off with Nim Deathmantle and Ashnod's Altar, and a player wanted to interact after the player payed for the trigger and before the reanimation happened exiliing the creature. At least for me there's no room for interaction at this point, but I'll ask just to make sure. Let's say that the player has a Tithe Taker, with afterlife and ashnod's altar on the field and nim death mantle. He sacrifices the tithe taker, creating a trigger for the death mantle and the afterlife trigger. He resolves the afterlife first, and then sacrifice the token. So now he has 4 colorless mana to infinite loop. He let the ability of deathmantle resolves paying 4 mana and reanimating tithe taker. This is how it was played out. Once he payed 4 mana for the trigger, you can't exile the creature cause the ability already resolved and the creature now is on the battlefield, and if you exile the creature before he payed for the trigger, he'll still have 4 colorless mana cause he didn't payed for it yet right?

Darksteel Juggernaut seems weak. What is the purpose of the Ozolith, perhaps I'm missing something? While redundancy is nice, I don't see the need for manifold key given you are now running voltaic. I am unsure how important unblockability is compared to the combo potential voltaic provides that manifold cannot due to the "other artifact clause"

Other combos to consider: Karn, the Great Creator + Mycosynth Lattice. Karn is nice for interaction and recursion. Lattice is a "fun" card. Works nice with Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant. Works even better with Blinkmoth Urn.

A 5 card combo to consider that you already run 3 of the cards for is ..... Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Sol Ring + Junk Diver. I am unsure how important this combo is to you given you already run several others. That being said, those combos mostly utilize the same cards and are synergistic with the deck, ensuring no dead cards. Krark Clan Ironworks is the only potential dead card, however, it has high combo potential and is a nice sac outlet (avoid theft, exile, etc...) and mana source. Something to consider. I say try it out and see how it works.

Should you be inclined, Aetherflux Reservoir is a storm wincon once you draw your deck with top or just recast a bunch of stuff (see below). Again, not an entirely serious consideration but worth noting if you like that.

Scrap Trawler + Sculpting Steel + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Cost Reducer (you have several)/Foundry Inspector (for added redundancy and ramp should you wish). Sculpting steel is a very versatile piece that is rarely a dead card.

Krark-Clan Ironworks + Nim Deathmantle + Myr Battlesphere/Wurmcoil Engine/Artifact that creates more artifacts. Nim Deathmantle acts as recursion as an added bonus. The 2 creatures create some blockers and sac fooder.

Speaking of fodder, no Skullclamp?

If you like fun, Mirrorworks is worth considering as a nice combo is Mirrorworks + Myr Retriever + Krark-Clan Ironworks.

A combo you already have is Grim Monolith + Forsaken Monument + Rings = Infinite Colorless

Voltaic Key + Rings of Brighthearth + Chromatic Orrery = Infinite Colorless. It pays for itself so its good for "tempo" kind of. It's main use is as a combo piece. Not needed given everything else but worth considering.

Walking Balistic is a mana outlet to kill everyone should you wish to include it.

Hey multimedia, I have one question about this deck, what would be better Eldrazi Displacer or Nim Deathmantle? And about Urza deck, I am making some changes following your deck.
