This originally began as some kind of attempt to gain a Maze's End win in an EDH deck. Whilst still a loose hope for this deck, once I landed on the Commander choice of Niv-Mizzet Reborn I got more than carried away of finally having a use for alot of dual colour cards I had in my collection. I will happily state this is a very casual deck and it's consistency is far away from the tribal builds I normally find comfortability with, but it was ALOT of fun to build around!

I am certainly well aware that there are many, many improvements that could be made to this deck. This deck really was just a way to churn through using a bunch of unused cards in my collection, so I have no intent to make changes or upgrade this deck now that it is built unless I pull cards that fit as an upgrade/interesting piece.

Deck named after song by simply amazing Melbourne-based Blackened Metalcore Band; Melancolia.
