DreadKhan on Obosh doubling damage

4 days ago

Any reason you don't use Brash Taunter? It's great with damage based wipes, suddenly your Blasphemous Act family spells also dome an opponent, if you can double that you'll probably eliminate someone.

In a list that has a decent number of creatures that can deal damage you might look into Basilisk Collar, it's good with many of your creatures, similarly Scavenged Brawler can turn a mediocre creature into a real problem. I'll never forget putting those counters onto a Brash Taunter!

It's probably not the best thing you can be doing, but Crypt Rats and similar effects are endless fun. There is also Exocrine, this weird guy can generate a lot of damage if you've got the mana, yet it also will draw you a card and leave a huge creature. Also, what the heck, Thrashing Wumpus exists too, and can Pestilence twice every turn without croaking, which could add up/cripple your opponents' boards. Very good if you've got Whip out obviously!

Do people run a lot of Blue in your meta? I liked Citadel of Pain a bit in a deck like this, normally this is symmetrical, but with your synergy it might play a lot better. I like Citadel in decks that feature a fairly high MV, where you don't want people to be able to bluff by holding up mana.

Since you don't run a ton of lands, maybe Acidic Soil? That could be 3 mana to win on the spot in some games.

Would Descent into Avernus work in here? It'll speed up games, not sure if your deck is usually one of the faster ones in your pod, if so it should help, if you're normally a slower deck then it's probably going to get you killed.

Fires of Mount Doom is a dual purpose card, offering you a way to slow down a Voltron deck, yet also a way to draw cards. I normally wouldn't bother with Impulse draw, but if your deck isn't really into combos then it plays well enough. Another nifty way to get cards in hand that opponents probably can't take advantage of with Obosh out is Wheel of Misfortune, a card I normally don't like. If you can double that damage (or better), then opponents will be very wary of trying to wheel.

Have a similar {G}{R} deck. If you're having trouble finding a Pestilence to combo on, Thrashing Wumpus could add more of the same effect.

Guessing Leechridden Swamp is not legal in modern? Same as Thrashing Wumpus... :(

Cool deck!!
Pestilence and Pyrohemia are effective at generating blood tokens for you. Thrashing Wumpus can do it too.
Also might consider Soul-Guide Lantern or Nihil Spellbomb over jack o lantern

Sweet deck!!
I too have a kothophed deck, it tries to make lots of mana. A couple cards for your consideration: Thrashing Wumpus, Eternal Thirst, Sacrifice, Attrition, Crypt Rats, any lifelink equipment or enchatment...
Also you have quite a lot of point removal, but for your sorcery speed murderous compulsion i would lean more towards a boardwipe like Crux of Fate or similar.
Cheers and have fun!!

Wondering if Thrashing Wumpus might be good here?

I like your style bro, nice deck. I see you're running Pestilence Demon as a wincon, maybe you can test Thrashing Wumpus since it costs less to cast.

See you around :)

Rod of Ruin, Thrashing Wumpus, Pestilence, and Noxious Field all will do rather nicely as well! I just threw together the same guy with the same idea! Consider taking a look at my list if you'd like some ideas! Keep on building!!
