Cuts and edit suggestions
Kambal, Profiteering Mayor for Crypt Ghast
.
- Both are three drops.
- Crypt Ghast provides weak mana fixing.
- The Extort on the Crypt Ghast helps offset the life gain/loss of Kambal.
And They Shall Know No Fear for Imp's Mischief.
- Feel Know no fear is the weakest of your entire protection suite.
- Both are still 2 drops.
- Imp's Mischief allows you to protect your creatures who arent spirits like Archangel of Thune or Sun Titan etc...
- Selfless Spirit has the same effect as And They Shall Know No Fear and the spirit can be pulled back from the yard.
Flowering of the White Tree imho should be cut.
- The ward protection feels wasted.
- Inspiring Leader already provides similar benefits to the white tree.
Grey Host Reinforcements and/or Release to Memory. (keep one of these)
- Both of these are the same cost. both do similar effects.
- Feel that one should be cut for 100 card limit restriction.
- benefit of keeping Grey Host Reinforcements is that Angel of Flight Alabaster can return it.
- Release to Memory cannot be gained back (to my knowledge).
- Grey Host is a spirit.
Read the Bones and/or Deadly Dispute probably should be cut for card limit. (keep one or neither of these)
- Dispute is cheaper and instant speed.
- Dispute does interact with your commander.
- Dispute also provide temporary mana fixing.
- Bones provides more game awareness and top deck sculpting.
- Bone is probably a better card....
- IDK your choice.
- Chronicle of Victory, Herald's Horn, Black Market Connections, Silent Clearing, are already drawing you cards.
- 5 draw sources "seems" like a enough.

I know it's kinda cliche at this point.... but there are some specific changelings that are wildly helpful in black.....
Changeling Wayfinder, Firdoch Core, Graveshifter, Changeling Outcast, Black Market Connections....

I'm not sure how many of these are pet cards that you wanna play no matter what, but if you're taking suggestions, there's quite a few staples you could be playing over stuff like Raiding Party. Phyrexian Arena and Black Market Connections are the first that come to mind, but you could totally to some boardwipes in the form of The Meathook Massacre and Spiteful Banditry. Curse of Opulence is always a fun way to get some politics started. Painful Quandary is a card I always consider running when im in black.
I'm just going to quick fire some more: Blood Moon No Mercy Sunbird's Invocation Powerbalance Unholy Annex / Ritual Chamber Polluted Bonds Oubliette Grave Betrayal Possibility Storm Necrodominance Burning Earth Hopeless Nightmare Case of the Stashed Skeleton Smoke
Sorry if thats too much lol

So I play-tested this a dozen times or so, and there's a bit of an issue with this deck. In only 1 of these attempts, it took me 5 turns to get 6 Apostles on the field. The rest all took longer. If you want to speed things up, there's a few ways in which you can do that:
- Use ramp spells like Dark Ritual and Culling the Weak to pump out black mana more quickly. Also will make you slightly less dependent on the Apostles (or these will help you churn out Apostles much quicker). I can't recommend Songs of the Damned enough for this deck, as after you've sacced 6 Apostles to tutor for something, these will become fuel for the casting of other high-end spells.
- Use draw opportunity that won't require you to sacrifice creatures for it. That will only slow down your Apostle count. Instead of the current draw spells, I'd go for options like Sign in Blood, Read the Bones, Night's Whisper. Possibly also add Underworld Connections (budget) or Black Market Connections (non-budget).
Hope it turns out.

Some more recent-ish vampire options:
Clavileno, First of the Blessed (Was a precon around him, which I bought and upgraded). Charismatic Conqueror, Bloodletter of Aclazotz, Preacher of the Schism, Master of Dark Rites, Qarsi Revenant, Edgar, Charmed Groom Flip, Welcoming Vampire, Vein Ripper,
If you want to be mean you could also run Braids, Arisen Nightmare.
If you want some more damage effects you could run cards like Impact Tremors
, and there's more recent versions like Warleader's Call.
I also really like Plumb the Forbidden.
Some other cool options: Black Market Connections, March of the Canonized, Invasion of New Capenna Flip
DemonDragonJ on Ideas for an Ayli, Eternal …
1 year ago
At some point, I would like to build a black/white EDH deck with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim as the general, so I certainly would like to ask the other members of this forum for any suggestions for such a deck.
The main theme of this deck would be sacrificing creatures for various benefits, so I naturally shall include plenty of sacrifice outlets, such as Ayli herself, Denethor, Ruling Steward, Commissar Severina Raine, Hidden Stockpile, and so forth; then, I would include cards that provide benefits from creatures dying, such as Life Insurance, Feast of the Victorious Dead, Proper Burial, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, or Butcher of Malakir; finally, the deck shall also contain methods to generate tokens for sacrificing or reanimating creatures that I have already sacrificed, such as Malevolent Awakening, Bitterblossom, Black Market Connections, Sister Hospitaller, Sun Titan, and Grave Titan.
It is likely that this deck shall have some overlap with my Meren of Clan Nel Toth EDH deck, but I would like to avoid those two decks being too similar to each other, so I certainly am eager to hear your suggestions for an Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim Deck!

Forgot to mention, Black Market Connections is also a great include alongside or replacing Phyrexian Arena. It's more costly lifewise but having the option to get tokens as sac fodder seems like a great
DemonDragonJ on Help creating a commander deck

Angelsprout, it is always good to see players building new decks, so, for this idea, I suggest that you use cards that generate tokens or reanimate creatures, so that you may continue to feed Felothar's ability, and some cards that I would recommend are Golgari Germination, Golgari Guildmage, Twilight Drover, Ghave, Guru of Spores, Bitterblossom, and Black Market Connections, but there are many more cards that could be used in such a deck, so I recommend that you check EDHREC.com for further information, as that website is an excellent resource for the EDH/commander format.
