Hey Indie,

First off I really like the lands you have assembled and the suggestions from SufferFromEDHD are all good.

You are definitely going to want an artifact ramp package.

Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Arcane Signet, Fellwar Stone, Gilded Lotus, Thran Dynamo

Special Mention to Nyx Lotus, it could be good being in mono black. and Jeweled Lotus, pays for your commander for free on turn 1 even.

Sword of the Animist is not bad ramp at all and buffs yours rats

Commander's Plate might be cute.

Liliana of the Dark Realms, makes sure you always get a land drop and could make your swamps tap for four.

Chittering Witch if your playing with more opponents.

Crypt Ghast is sort of ramp, but doubles your swamps. Very good in mono black.

Dauthi Voidwalker is not on theme at all but is just sooo much value in a two cost card I have to recommend it.

God-Eternal Bontu is excellent draw power in the right situation.

Dont forget you can run any number of Relentless Rats

Gray Merchant of Asphodel will heal you up a lot and hurt your opponents

Krav, the Unredeemed is also great card draw.

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, has card draw, removal, and proliferate all on one card

Deadly Rollick, potentially free removal

Defile, cheap good removal

Thrilling Encore saves you from a board wipe or lets you bring everything back after sacrificing it all to like God-Eternal Bontu

Phyrexian Arena some ok card draw.

Bojuka Bog if you are worried about graveyards

Mutilate, a good board wipe in mono black

Night's Whisper, Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, are a great draw package for mono black

Toxic Deluge a great board wipe for when things need resetting, and you could follow with Thrilling Encore and get it all back

Syphon Mind is great draw if your playing with more players

Victimize - is really really strong, get rid of one weak thing for two of your best things

Yawgmoth's Will - lets you treat your graveyard like your hand for a turn

Lord Skitter, Sewer King makes rats

Marrow-Gnawer - lets you make lots of rats

Infectious Inquiry - good draw and gives poison

Ogre Slumlord - makes rats when your creatures or your opponents creatures die.

Tangled Colony - if your opponent has to block it or it dies to like Blasphemous Act will make you rats

Vraska's Fall removal and poison counter

Drown in Ichor removal and poison

Bontu's Monument all your creatures cost less

Rat Colony can have any number and they buff themselves, and cost less mana than Relentless Rats

Typhoid Rats deathtouch rat opponents wont want to block

Crypt Rats can board wipe but can also win the game if you give it infect, doesnt work with your commander because toxic specifies combat damage but does work if you give it infect and deal damage with it's ability.

Ratcatcher tutors rats, and gives you card advantage

Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm - buffs your rats and lets you get rats back

Wave of Rats has blitz and reanimates itself

Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni rat that steals opponents stuff

Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion rat that steals opponents stuff

Adaptive Automaton is a rat and buffs rats

Okiba-Gang Shinobi rat makes opponents discard and has ninjutsu

Filth gives all your rats swampwalk pairs well with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Dark Ritual lets your get a head start or some extra mana a turn you need it

Tainted Strike instant speed infect, funny in multiplayer because you can use it on anyone's creatures.

Phyresis Outbreak gives poison and might kill opponents creatures

Feed the Swarm enchantment removal in black

Vat Emergence gets a creature back and proliferates

Spread the Sickness destroys a creatures and proliferates

Pact of the Serpent strong tribal card draw

Living Death swap graveyards with battlefields, great after sacrificing your whole board to draw cards

Skullclamp sack small rats for card draw

Thrumming Stone if you go the Relentless Rats or Rat Colony route

Coat of Arms your rats will be huge

Bolas's Citadel this card is dumb lol, lots of casting power and then you hit Gray Merchant of Asphodel and keep going lol

Icon of Ancestry kinda draw buffs rats...is ok

Contagion Engine proliferate twice each time you activate

Eldrazi Monument gives creatures flying indestructible and +1/+1

Grafted Exoskeleton gives a creature infect, great with Crypt Rats

Sword of Truth and Justice proliferate sword

Bad Moon buff all black creatures, opponents too

Phyresis gives infect again good with Crypt Rats

Greed card draw

Vraska, Betrayal's Sting proliferate planes walker

I know that's a lot but hopefully gave you some ideas to work with!

In my experience playing Krenko, Mob Boss, I've found Cryptic Gateway to be not actually too valuable. It's towards the top of your curve, and a lot of time isn't going to have much impact outside of maybe cheating out one or two goblins. For 5 mana, I'd rather play a Vanquisher's Banner or Eldrazi Monument.

If you want more tokens try these: Beacon of Creation, Howl of the Night Pack

Also maybe Eldrazi Monument and/or Beastmaster Ascension

I have replaced Eldrazi Monument with Jetmir, Nexus of Revels, which decreased this deck's average converted mana cost from 4.11 to 4.10, which is very good, because I feel that this deck dos not have a sufficient amount of token generation or creature recursion to constantly feed into the monument.

I have replaced Eldrazi Monument and Golgari Findbroker with Blazing Hellhound and Mayhem Devil, which decreased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.95 to 3.92, since those cards better fit the theme of this deck.

DemonDragonJ on Savage Destruction

4 months ago

I have replaced Fists of the Demigod, Gift of the Deity, and Runes of the Deus with Necrogenesis, Golgari Findbroker, and Shattergang Brothers, which decreased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.98 to 3.95, which is only a minor decrease, but every decrease is welcome, so my deck now has an additional method of generating tokens, an additional sacrifice outlet, and an additional source of card recursion. I still have not yet decided what shall replace _Eldrazi Monument, but I shall replace that card, soon, as well.

DemonDragonJ on Savage Destruction

4 months ago

I intend to replace Eldrazi Monument, since I do not believe that this deck can generate tokens reliably to continually sacrifice to it, and I also believe that I shall replace the "demigod auras" with cards that better fit the deck's theme, as well, so I need to decide what cards those shall be.

YamishiTheWickedOne, I totally get wanting to tweak your curve. I ended up without Vito in my list, but I did keep Yahenni, for the sac outlet option. Purphoros actually hits the curve at 4, not 3, and I absolutely would never cut him. Even if my opponents manage to dig out removal for an indestructible enchantment (he is almost never a creature), by the time they do, he's done a ton of damage already.

I do like Goblin Bombardment . Sometimes, my opponents might have a token swarm to block with, or worse, might wrath. The Bombardment means all those dying vampires die for a reason: punching my opponents in their punch-able faces.

In my meta, I have found that indestructibility and flying are useful that I put in Eldrazi Monument, but I don't have Champion of Dusk. I have found that when I have spewed my hand, I might not want to take the life hit from him, all at once. Necropotence lets me choose how much I lose. So I have only two 5-drops, but one is the Monument!
