Land — Swamp Mountain

(: Add or .)

As this enters, you may pay 2 life. If you don't, this enters tapped.

Have you thought about Greater Good for a card draw effect? Disciple of Bolas can also work. So there are a few options for card draw.

On the mana front, I'd add in Nature's Lore and Skyshroud Claim. Don't know what I'd take out, though.

I would suggest getting rid of the reveal lands, though. Just replace them with the Blood Cryptfoil cycle of lands, a.k.a. shocks (because they Shock you), if you have them. If not, maybe the Sulfurous Springs cycle of lands, called pain lands.

I'm not sure if I missed something, but I don't think Raven's Crime specifically needs Swamps, you can discard any land to cast it from the graveyard. It's a pretty strong card in a Rack list IMHO, and worth running if you find you draw lands when you'd rather have drawn a Raven's Crime. I think with a deck like yours, where you're at 19 lands and have only 6 3 drops (and an average MV well under 2) you can expect to not need lands after a few turns, so I don't know that you'd need to add more Swamps (or lands in general) to derive value from Raven's Crime.

IMHO there are still certain archetypes that are viable in Legacy that aren't always fast, and Rack is one of them. The existence of Force of Will means people can't design decks that are so greedy that they scoop to a single FoW (or Force of Negation), so grindy decks will have a place. Even if they don't run FoW in their own deck, it's omnipresent enough that we all get herd immunity to a certain level of greed. On the downside it means certain decks will always be kinda good, a timely Thoughtseize can be much better than FoW, and a Rack deck can also throw a Hymn out early; do you FoW the Hymn, or risk it and end up unable to FoW anything and are still down 2 cards? As long as you have enough creature hate I find you can still win games vs aggro (much harder now with The One Ring, but you're VERY well placed vs it with Chains x4) as well, and your ability to lock people out of drawing can give you the time to win.

Ultimately, is it a bad situation when you're using Raven's Crime? Probably, but the alternative is just having to scoop IMHO. That's why I'd probably try it out as a x1 or x2 and see how often it saves your bacon. You can also use Entomb to put Crime straight into the bin, and include a copy of Bloodghast or Nether Spirit if you already drew your Crime. It's the kind of card I think you'd add to give your deck more grindy options when desperate, but IMHO if your combo is set up you don't need Raven's Crime.

My final thought is that with your Dark Confidant you can draw extra lands to feed Raven's Crime, as long as you have access to Black mana, maybe this is where the extra Swamps concern came from? You could always toss in Blood Cryptfoil if you don't want to buy more Badlands, you'd always get the OG dual first, or a Basic if it will work, so you don't notice the Crypt's drawback as much. I feel like if you're hitting the opponent with 1 Crime per turn roughly (counting an extra card from Dark Confidant) you might not need much more support to get your Racks online other than a Chains or two to prevent the opponent from drawing extra cards. YMMV but I think it's worth trying out x1 or x2, as long as you have a couple Racks out it'll be a lot of pressure.

Hope some of this helps!

I know you hate tapped lands so I would suggest the following:

Also I hate Temple of the False God it should stop being included in precons. Plus 37 lands is a bit much. There are a couple other cards that don't seem to do enough for the mana cost. So I would also suggest the following:

I would add more mana dorks: Ignoble Hierarch adds Jund colors and gives exalted as a bonus Deathrite Shaman acts as graveyard hate and can drain/gain at instant speed on on top of exiling any lands from anyone's graveyard for mana of any color also at instant speed. Delighted Halfling adds colorless or any color for legendary creatures and makes them uncounterable.

I would also add more aristocrat/sacrifice effects: Korvold, Fae-Cursed King crazy draw engine with sac synergy and a potential one-shot kill if he gets big enough Mahadi, Emporium Master generates treasures EOT based on how many creatures died, setting you up for big plays in the coming turns Pitiless Plunderer generates treasures whenever another creature you control dies immediately Chatterfang, Squirrel General basically a 3 mana Parallel Lives. Goes infinite with Pitiless Plunderer 1.Activate Chatterfang by paying b and sacrificing two other Squirrels. 2.The Squirrels die, triggering Pitiless Plunderer twice, creating two Treasure tokens and two 1/1 Squirrel tokens. 3.Activate a Treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding b. 4.Repeat. 5.Resolve all Chatterfang abilities, causing any number of target creatures to get +2/-2 until end of turn any number of times. This gives you: Infinite colored mana. Infinite death triggers. Infinite ETB. Infinite LTB. Infinite sacrifice triggers. Infinite Treasure tokens. Reduce all opponents' creatures to 0 toughness.

Some pay off for sacrificing Mirkwood Bats, Blood Artist, Garna, Bloodfist of Keld & Poison-Tip Archer are good win condition for infinite sac outlet effects

Some better tutor effects: You can replace Diabolic Tutor for some other options below Diabolic Intent Tutor for 2 mana for any card with an additional sac requirement for sac effect synergies Demonic Tutor The OG best tutor Diabolic Revelation You wanna be cheeky? If you have big mana you can dump it all to grab multiple pieces to win the game

Some ramp effects: Cultivate & Kodama's Reach puts one to hand one to battlefield Nature's Lore & Three Visits puts any forest card onto the battlefield Entish Restoration is a new card that is better than harrow because you sacrifice a land on the resolution of the spell rather than paying the additional cost upfront, which makes it more safe from a feels-bad counterspells which puts you down a land. If you have a big enough creature you get 3 basics to the field all at instant speed as well. Nissa, Vastwood Seer  Flip is a pet card of mine which allows you to search for a basic and when you have 7 lands she flips and generate lands and card draw for pretty much free. Oracle of Mul Daya Allows you to play an additonal land every turn and allows to play them off the top of your library. If you dont see a card you like you can shuffle it away with a fetch land to try to get another off the top.

Better Lands: Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth & Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth are must includes allowing all your lands tap for B/G respectively in addition to your other colors. The pain lands Llanowar Wastes, Karplusan Forest & Sulfurous Springs are cheap dual lands that give you all your colors The reveal lands Game Trail, Foreboding Ruins & Necroblossom Snarl are also good cheaper options which give you dual colors The shocklands Blood Crypt, Overgrown Tomb & Stomping Ground are fetchable and come into play untapped for a measley 2 life are some of the best lands in the game Verdant Catacombs is the last fetch of your color not included. I would include it if you could because it allows all three of your fetches to fetch any of your shocks or battlelands. You can also include other Fetchlands as well such as Arid Mesa, Misty Rainforest etc to fetch because they can fetch for one of the jund colors of lands at least, however, they aren't as efficient Ziatora's Proving Ground is a must include because you can fetch it out and it taps for jund as well as cycle if it comes too late. If you don't have a turn one play you can fetch it out as your best land with no plays.

Hopefully this helps

Welcome to the club, Kershin36!

I'm not a Commander expert, but there's a couple of cards here I'd like to poke at.

You don't have a lot of self-damaging effects to take advantage of Rowan, Scion of War--in fact, I only really see Blood Crypt and Bloodgift Demon that would reliably hit you. There are plenty of "damage target player" effects, but I assume you would want to use those on your opponents. There's also not really enough instants to use her ability on opponents' turns, either. I would cut her, or at least add more self-damage effects. Depending on budget and focus, Sulfuric Vortex, Phyrexian Arena, or Black Market Connections are all very good options, and Raphael, Fiendish Savior lets you recover the life loss easily enough.

Everlasting Torment is a very good card, but here it directly clashes with Raphael. I would simply cut it, unless you don't mind losing the lifelink or are willing to use a different commander.

There's no way to spread +1/+1 counters for Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch, and less than five creatures that use them at all. A 4/4 hasty first striker is pretty good as an attacker, but you're usually going to want more utility than that.

Here, I'm going to get into my personal tastes, so if these suggestions aren't what you're looking for with this deck, feel free to skip over them. I would add more sacrifice effects to control when your creatures die and help ensure you gain some advantage from it. Mayhem Devil will thank you. I would also add more mass removal and destroy effects. A lot of your removal options are single target and based on damage or toughness reduction, which isn't bad in moderation but won't help much against a token deck going off or a creature with double digit power/toughness, both of which happen pretty regularly. I'm a fan of discard, but choose your targets well.

And above all, have fun!

Nice list, khuyler! A couple of suggestions that may be helpful:

You have no way to remove The One Ring should you ever need to when it accumulates too many burden counters. It may make sense to run Chaos Warp, Deglamer, and/or Demand Answers to give you an out if you're in a bind with The Precious, but if you don't have a pressing issue with The One Ring these cards are also very useful on their own.

With all of the landfall and ramp including Scapeshift it could be beneficial to add Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle as well as some additional mountains like Blood Crypt & Stomping Ground (maybe run proxies of Badlands & Taiga). This would allow you to deal a massive amount of damage when Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and a bunch of additional mountains come into play from Scapeshift, plus Valakut would enable additional landfall damage triggers whenever more mountain(s) ETB while it's out.

Overgrown Tomb and Bayou would be solid additions, too. Have you considered running any of the fetchlands?

Ignoble Hierarch is a great mana dork for Jund.

Crucible of Worlds and Zuran Orb synergize well with Lord Windgrace.

Harrow costs the same and is slightly better than Roiling Regrowth imo since the lands wouldn't enter tapped, though you could run both.

You could cut some lands to add the Rakdos mana artifacts, they all show a little devil symbol in the art XD
Rakdos Signet, Rakdos Cluestone, Rakdos Locket
Also Rakdos lands Rakdos Guildgate, Rakdos Carnarium, Blood Crypt
