Definitely consider Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip!

It's a great fit for Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip, but most people would look the same at this as Armageddon. It resets the board for almost every resource available to play the game further, so if you have no creatures, no lands and no hand remaining and so does nobody else, the game is just slow to continue and even slower to end. If you aren't trying to break that symmetry, you're just wasting the time of all players involved, which most players will not thank you for.

Rhadamanthus on tergrid, dress down

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link to help make sure people understand what all is going on in the question: Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip, Dress Down

No, you won't get Dress Down. Tergrid's trigger on something being sacrificed is a type of "leaves the battlefield" trigger. LTB triggers look back at the last moment the object was on the battlefield to determine if and how they trigger. At the last moment Dress Down was on the battlefield, Tergrid didn't have any abilities.

GeminiSpartanX on Volrath, Voltron Reanimator

Profet93- I'm mostly trying to make it as consistent as possible while still giving homage to my commander's strengths. I know there are better reanimator commanders out there, but Volrath was one of the first legendary creatures I ever played with and as such, has a special place in my heart. In the previous version, I was just focusing on having the biggest cmc black and colorless cards in MtG and trying to swing in with him for the win, but it was too easily disrupted and the ramp wasn't enough to get there just by playing 1 fattie a turn otherwise. I figured the reanimation package will keep me in the game longer and make this deck more than a one-trick pony. I'm simply looking to cut the weakest cards from the list to keep up with the other powerful decks I normally play against (Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip, Be'Lakor, the Dark Master, Pantlaza, Sun-Favored, Edgar Markov, and Kaalia of the Vast).

leon_bulminot- This deck is not a 'sac' or aristocrats deck, so unfortunately some of your suggestions won't fit the bill here. My Kozilek is there to keep me from getting milled out against people who run infinite mill combos, and LotV is great at allowing me to discard a beefy guy from my hand to reanimate afterwards. The others Lilys are nice, but I actually cut a few tutors already to try and speed up the deck as too many tutors in a non-combo deck slow things down by paying extra mana for the cards you need, and this deck has enough ramp under 4 cmc that lily of the dark realms just barely didn't make the cut.

ShadowMasterNLThank you for your answer!

I was thinking of cabal coffers, but I also have Nyx Lotus that gives me amount of mana = to devotion and my planeswalker Liliana of the Dark Realms also gives me an emblem that each swamp gives me 4 manas instead of one, so I thought i was already running enough mana with all that and the others you mentionned prior lmao. I decided that adding other cards instead was more pertinent. :) but i did consider Cabal Coffers for a while!

As for Exsanguinate it's been on the back of my mind for a while but I don't have a lot of lifegain element in the deck so I could'nt decide if it was worth it because I will also be trying to kill my opponents early with the poison counters, but it is true that having that much mana could actually make it worth it. It will also go in the maybeboard lmao.

Yeah I understand how well Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flipcan fit with my deck/commander, but I was also wondering about the gains for running this 5 mana card in this deck because I am already running Scion of Darkness which seemed like a better similar option at first because of its base power/defense and the trample factor, but maybe I am wrong because Menace is also a very good perk and my CMC would be better with a 5 instead of an 8 mana card probably!?

I also have a bunch of artifacts I would like to integrate to it just standing in my maybeboard to either lower the summon cast of my commander or to cast my commander from my hand instead of the commander zone in case of removal since I play against a lot of azorius control decks lmao!

Anyways all this to say, I have a hard time making cuts actually (decision paralysis lmao). So if you have some pointers for cuts I could make, that would also be interesting, and I always love to know the reason why if you find you have the time.

Sorry for the rambling. And I appreciate your time and input. XD

ShadowMasterNL I didn't know this card actually! I'll put it in my maybeboard and run somes test to see if it's synergy works well with my deck. But out of sheer curiosity, what kind of mileage do you get out of Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip if you did play it in a mono-black? :)

Rhadamanthus on Altar of the Wretched and …

4 months ago

No, this won't work. A double faced card can only have the characteristics of the back face either when it's on the battlefield after being transformed or if it's a modal DFC (Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip, etc.) that's been cast with the back face. In any other situation it only has the characteristics of the front face. In your example that means Altar of the Wretched  ^Flip isn't a creature card in your library and Buried Alive can't find it.
