EDH Damia bodysnatcher/reanimator HELP
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on June 11, 2017, 1:41 p.m. by Mlmagic
I'm curently trying to put a Damia deck together and i would like to not use the infinite mana combos usualy involved in Damia and instead try to make IT all about stealing My opponents creatures, reanimate their GY's, interrupt their wincons and tanke extra turns wherever possible. Does anyone have a deck like this? Is It even remotly viable in a medium meta? Help? Suggestions? Thanks?

The deck you are describing sounds exactly like what I used to run so I'm just going to post my favorite cards from it here. Memory Plunder, Wrexial, the Risen Deep, Diluvian Primordial, Sepulchral Primordial, Silent-Blade Oni, Mindleech Mass, Thada Adel, AcquisitorNightveil Specter, Knowledge Exploitation, Praetor's Grasp, Bribery, Blatant Thievery, and as said earlier Geth, Lord of the Vault. Green doesn't really have much in the thieving department but it does have ramp and non-creature removal which are both very important in commander.

I have considered most of the cards mentioned but the theme of the deck Should be to steal creatures, not sorc/instants.

Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni and Scion of Darkness. Why the focus on creatures though? It seems like you're ignoring a lot of good cards. Is your playgroup just that creature heavy?

Sisters of Stone Death sorry for the double post, you said theme and I went 'Damia, sage of stone; Sisters of Stone Death'

Well its just the theme i wanted to go with, i'd rather this deck does one thing great Than two things not that great, and realy this deck is mostly for the lols. Maby i should skip the counters all together and put some of your suggestions in there instead? I'l have to think about it. Hmm realy it would probably be more lols if i went that way..

It really depends on your play group, but I run across decks that rely very little on creatures, so I would recommend finding a balance.

What method or methods are you using to steal creatures? The most I've fun I've had with a deck that stole creatures was with Geth, Lord of the Vault. The problem I had was that not every deck had tons of creatures to steal, and I found mono-black limited in terms of defense. Maybe if I was a more creative back then, the deck would have worked out better, but using my opponents' creatures against them was a lot of fun, so if you could make it work, I'd definitely recommend it.
Since you're splashing blue and black, you have plenty of defense, assuming your creature-stealing plans go awry, not to mention all the ramp you need.
Then again, it really depends on how you plan to steal creatures and how many creatures you have in your deck.
Try formulating a deck list so that people can give you more specific advice.
Personally, I prefer Edric, Spymaster of Trest as a card-draw general, since he has a lower converted mana cost, and he's less likely to get removed because he allows other players to draw cards.
