Hybrow on Creatures of the Night

1 month ago

I am not saying I dont like her, I havent broken the deck down and she is fun to play every once and a while. I just find that the way i build her focuses on stuff like Buried Alive and Entomb to get those key creatures into my grave and then recurr them a ton.

Yours is slightly different (better) than mine, I basically only have her doing damage, no other Cutthroat types, which is probably part of my problem, lol

I am suprised that you dont have Plague of Vermin its a wincon with her on the board. Is high CMC, but I have won games with it.

SaberTech on The Mimeospasm [Reanimator Terminator] - primer

Since you are running Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Triskelion, and Buried Alive I find that it's helpful to have a couple reanimation spells that can get two creatures out of the graveyard at once. Victimize and Living Death are my usual picks.

With Jarad in the deck, Coffin Queen might be worth considering as a way of repeatedly returning large creatures to the board for sac fodder.

Titanoth Rex could be useful in Mimeoplasm. It's a big body that puts itself into the graveyard for cheap, draws you a card, and can give Mimeoplasm trample if it doesn't already have an evasive ability.

Ghostly Pilferer is another potential card for the deck that functions similar to Psychic Frog and Likeness Looter. Cheap, lets you discard, provides card draw, and gives you an evasion option if you end up copying it as your main creature for Mimeoplasm. I like that it lets you passively draw cards any time an opponent casts their commander from the command zone.

RockIV on Golgari commander deck Opinions

2 months ago

Hi everyone, ive been recently building some commander decks. Lately ive made a monoblack commander, but after playing with it, i decided to transform it into a golgari.

Rocks Golgari power of death Commander

Im using Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord as my commander, my strategy is going to summon big creatures and sacrifice them (in the right moment) to do damage to all my oponents.

im using some reanimator spells to be able to bring them back, like Entomb, Buried Alive, Exhume. Animate Dead, etc. I decided not to include Reanimate, because of the life loss.

right now, i included more than 15 mana ramps, to be able to get the enought mana to cast the strong creatures as early as i can.

i still not shure if the creatures i choose are the correct ones, and also if the number of creatures is the correct.

i feel that creatures like Desecration Demon, Spiritmonger and Skarrg Goliath can be replaced for something better like, a Terastodon or a Hydra Broodmaster

what do you guys think? suggestion will be deeply apreciated.

ty for everyone that read or comment on this post and in the last one too :D

RockIV on monoblack commander building help!

2 months ago

hi everyone im building a monoblack commander deck, and im a little lost on how to make it functional.

Rocks monoblack commander

this is my deck, i tried to get the best monoblack cards that i have. but i feel the deck is not well builded.

i have some good cards that i didnt add. I have some reanimator deck posibilities , but i dont know if adding them would be a good move. Animate Dead, Buried Alive, Entomb, Exhume, Griselbrand, Reanimate, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Entomb

i have other options that i dindt choose i have some zombie lord type cards, but i feel i dont have that many zombies to make them functional.

what do you guys think? should i add the reanimator type cards?, or maybe take out some removal for other cards, what changes would you guys do to this commander?

ty for reading

I was elated when I saw Buried Alive become legal, glad to hear it’s performant.

I truly hate Skoa, Embermage... doesnt really pop like I hoped; honestly just running Lightning Bolt feels better.... Buried Alive on the other hand can potentially result in a HUGE turn 4 play... the deck is usually pretty fast (when it works) but buried alive can give a second chance for a slow start

Buried Alive + Maskwood Nexus/Conspiracy + Disa the Restless can fetch any 2 or 3 creature-only combo, e.g. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts

Mortlocke on A Pimp Named Sliver Overlord

haki2022,

Hol up - so you think 4 CMC slivers arent worth running? So slivers like Shifting Sliver, Magma Sliver, Bonescythe Sliver or Root Sliver aren't worth running? That is a hot take that I can confidently say is just outright bad. Why are you suggesting Zur the Enchanter *f-etch* for a Sliver Tribal deck? As for Buried Alive and Intruder Alarm - valid suggestions, but not necessarily staples.
