Many people have hated on the TWD Secret Lair; and I gotta say, I don't care. When TWD first came out I wasn't a huge fan. Negan changed that as he made the show good, so when Wizards showed the Negan card; I knew that I had to get it. Ask for my stance on Wizard's cash grab and importing characters outside of the Magic realm; I also don't care. Magic the Gathering is a card game, and a very expensive hobby. Everything Wizard's does is a cash grab. They want our money and we give it to them. Like any other company, if there is money to be made, they should take it! The second part of people's argument is that this is targeted for Commander players and is limited run, so are Commander decks and you all don't complain about them! Commander Legends will be limited printed, just like every set before it. The other argument is that TWD isn't Magic related, and I agree but neither was Godzilla or My Little Pony or D&D or Transformers. Yet no one is complaining about those. Yes these are special cards that will only be printed once, and that is painful, but so is the original dual lands or Black Lotus. I have the money, so I willing gave it to Wizards for a product I loved.

Not only is he the character all my friends say I would be in TWD, but his card is in my colors. His abilities are not overwhelming strong, but he seems like he would be a fun commander. When he comes into play, you get to force someone to sac one or two creatures. It could be enjoyable trying to make someone guess who they have to sac or who you would want them to sac. I would enjoy a mind game like that. His second ability allows you to ramp. So I feel that a treasure sub-theme would need to take place over the sac theme.

Now I know everyone out their is going to call me a traitor for supporting Wizards' cash grab scheme. And this is my response:

Now please enjoy this fun deck I have constructed that forces opponents to sac their creatures, giving me more resources to use in the long run OR go cry somewhere else.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve this deck, please feel free to share them. If you could help with what cards I should cut, I would love the advice. If you do not like the deck because I chose Negan or that I actually bought TWD Secret Lair; please keep your distain to yourself or be prepared to meet Lucille.

I actually goofed and forgot to get Treasure Map but I had an extra It That Betrays to take it's spot for now. Play tested my deck against my wife's Darryl Eldrazi deck. I was in control most of the game, but she was able to over power me in the end. It's hard to keep dealing with huge Eldrazi. Removal was good, but I feel like I'm lacking in card draw? Any suggestions on what card draw I should add and what to take out?

Comments

I guess I could say your stance on the community's concerns for this secret lair is...cold-blooded (see what I did there? You're just like Negan like you claimed! Haha) /jk

Joking aside, is there a specific reason you have Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet in the list? The reason I ask is because he shuts off all your "when a creature an opponent controls dies" triggers, such as Revel in Riches, Blood Artist, and Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge, Ob Nixilis, Yahenni, etc. If your friends are all playing graveyard decks I can see this as a piece of GY hate, otherwise you might want to replace him?

Replacements might be Despark or Elspeth Conquers Death to hit higher noncreature CMC threats.

Also you have a lot of board wipes, but I didn't see any "sacrifice" wipes aside from Mythos of Snapdax. Single Combat, Slaughter the Strong, Tragic Arrogance, and Killing Wave. These will play nice with Negan since you can save him if you want (and you'll still get the treasure tokens whether you save him or sac him).

I loved your intro by the way, jasonkrivera! I actually didn't think about Kalitas shutting me down. I just saw zombie tokens and went with it. Thanks for the warning! Kal will be the first at the chopping block.

As much research as I did, I never actually thought about the mass sacs for my removal. I probably should have. I will be adding in a few once I get home from work. Thank you for your awesome suggestion and kind help.

You get an upvote because Negan. It’s outside MTG but he’s also a fun character to play on this popular fighting game.

Have you considered Conjurer's Closet ?

Although I disagree with WOTC direction and your words of support... this is a really neat Mardu sacrifice control list. +1 from me.
