Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker

Legendary Creature — Spirit

Whenever a creature with power 1 or less is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, you may return that card to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step if Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker is still on the battlefield.

If you want a budget mono black deck, that's also busted as heck. There IS NO BETTER COMMANDER, than Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker. Hands down.

ImNora on Scampire + Shirei???

So if I sacrifice my creatures (except Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker) on a Phyrexian Altar while I have Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker on the battlefield and all my creatures, including Scampire come back to life at the next end step, Scampire's ETB triggers but there's no creatures in my graveyard now. Can I sacrifice some of the creatures that were brought back to life on my Phyrexian Altar before Scampire's "put a sticker on a creature in your graveyard" effect goes off so I'll now have a creature in my graveyard for it to target?

TLDR:

Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker on battlefield

Sacrifice other creatures including Scampire on Phyrexian Altar

Creatures re-enter the battlefield

Before Scampire's ability resolves, sacrifice other creatures on the Phyrexian Altar

Have Scampire's ability target newly sacrificed creature in my graveyard to put a sticker on it

Is that possible?

So I made a Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker deck and I was hoping to get advice on how to make the deck better in general. Sacrificing creatures and having them just come right back to life seems fun. The problem is that a lot of things need to happen in order for this deck to function. I need a sac outlet, creatures to sac, something that deals damage when creatures ETB or die, and hexproof to protect my commander. I'm hoping that I have enough card draw and tutors to get there but it still might be difficult. Any suggestions that may make this deck run smoother would be greatly appreciated as well as any other recommendations.

Yes, because even the strongest decks are not that strong. In my pod everybody has at least one pEDH deck (Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker etc.) they all put a lot of time and energy into building their deck. I just threw a bunch of Commons into Thalisse, Reverent Medium, anything I could find within 15 minutes, that makes tokens.

The games are a blast. They are fun, straightforward, low-power, classic. Wins feel much more deserving, combos are so rare and hard to pull off that nobody gets salty about them. I want to build another one with Garna, Bloodfist of Keld and I am putting in cards that I would otherwise never even consider looking at.

You know how often it is said that Magic has a pool of 30+ thousand cards. That is nonsense, because only a few thousand are actually playable. The rest is just noise. With pEDH, many of those forgotten cards suddenly come back to life. And it’s so cheap, the total shipping cost is usually higher than the deck

I've recently added Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker, that you SpecimeN87 for that suggestion, so I don't currently see the need for more redundancy as I've also included Animate Dead and Reanimate.

I had Howling Mine and Font of Mythos to ensure my opponents had cards so I could force them to discard. Reconsidered that and have since removed those two.

I like Grim Haruspex myself, I was just concerned with the forced draw it places on me. Being a creature I suppose I could just sacrifice it if I don't need the cards any more. Consideration and testing to be done.

What theme to my Orzhov decks would you be seeing? LoL. I honestly don't know who the "Dream Orzhov Girl" is. Enlighten me.

Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker is a nice suggestion. I'll have to test it out. I did build to hopefully produce enough mana recast my commander should she become a magnet for removal.

I'm not sure about the Dark Prophecy and Words of Waste timing. I'll have to look in to that one.

Thank you for the suggestions. They are appreciated.
