MTGBurgeoning on Magar the Horrible

2 days ago

Thanks for commenting! Soooo, no barriers??? Okay, if that's the case, we begin with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers. The burst black mana production can pay for multiple 1 and B activation costs of Magar. As long as we're upgrading the land base, other considerations include the less costly Fabled Passage, Raucous Theater and Blazemire Verge, the pricier Bloodstained Mire and Prismatic Vista, and the reach-for-the-sky Ancient TombGC and Badlands. As for spells, there aren't too many pricy Magar-friendly spells that I can recommend here, which is one of the great investment advantages of piloting a Magar build. A lot of the most impactful Magar-assisted spells are bulk rares and mythic rares. However, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt the overall synergy of the deck by including Jeska's WillGC and Demonic TutorGC. Those two cards would make Magar very, very happy. One less costly spell that I want to add is Call Forth the Tempest, but a copy has not crossed my path yet. Another consideration, although I do not recommend it, is Wheel of Fortune. I do not recommend it because I prefer to NOT put so many additional cards in the hands of my opponents, regardless of how much it may wreck in-game and in-the-moment strategies by opponents. Aside from these Magar-friendly cards, the only other cards I would offer as considerations are support cards like Bone Miser, Deflecting SwatGC, and Deadly Rollick. Once you complete your build, I would LOVE to see what you have! Happy brewing!!

Cabal Coffers is already in my maybeboard, as I do not yet own a copy.

Are you suggesting Reliquary Tower is 'counterproductive' because being forced to discard down to 7 could allow for high-cost creatures to be moved into the graveyard for easier reanimation? I may try that.

This deck is sick. I love, love, love to see decks that have been tuned/played over several years and this one does not disappoint.

I feel like you've been keeping up with the newer sets, but I figure there's a chance you may have missed some of these, so I will make suggestions regardless.

Polluted Cistern / Dim Oubliette seems pretty good here, and I like Snarling Gorehound as well. Not sure you have enough synergy with the dog, though. It can be hard to tell with that sort of thing, sometimes. I noticed you're off Cabal Coffers and I was curious to hear why. Personally, I think it's a bit overrated in multicolored decks, but it's always been strong in my mono black builds.

Huge Mono Black enjoyer. +2 if I could. lol

plakjekaas on How Can Mono-Colored Cards be …

The problem with printing cards that are rewards for monocolor decks, is that they're either just not good enough, like Slaying Fire or instant expensive staples, like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Because if the effect is good enough, the two-color decks will consider playing it too, think Cabal Coffers+Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Monocolor decks make the sacrifice of devoting to that color, and accepting its weaknesses. The best way to combat those weaknesses, is to add a color. The payoff is the manabase consistency, and leveraging the strength of the color you picked. There's a few Caged Sun or Throne of Eldraine-type cards that possibly could slot in every monocolor deck. But the fun of building a monocolor deck (I'm talking commander here) is to deepen out your limited cardpool to get the job done in a way most multicolor decks won't expect because it uses cards you normally wouldn't see in multicolor decks.

To get back on topic, in the OPs examples, if the monocolored option for similar effect is actually better, it's probably printed more recently and therefor more powerful. That's the case with Psychic Strike vs Thought Collapse and for as similar as they are (differences were already pointed out) for Merciless Eviction and Farewell. Final Judgment in its turn is older than that, and therefor more limited in application than Merciless Eviction, which is the newer card out of the two.

Aurelia's Fury vs Rolling Thunder is a bad comparison. The silence- and tap effects make the card a lot more versatile. With Aurelia's Fury you could ping a player to stop them from comboing, tap down three blockers to swing in for lethal, where Rolling Thunder only offers straight up removal or burn to the face, which Fury can do as well. Still, Rolling Thunder was printed in 1997 where Aurelia's Fury was printed in 2015.

What OP's describing is powercreep, and it's not restricted by colors.

if you have a Cabal Coffers, I would include it over Cabal Stronghold. Stronghold is best in budget decks without a lot of nonbasics.

Buried Ruin - I understand your point. It's also worth noting it's potential to recur an important artifact in response to your GY getting inevitably exiled.

Be careful with having too many artifact lands as mass artifact wipes will set you back even harder.

@Profet93 love the suggestions 1 I had not considered Imp's Mischief but will look to see if I have one if not add it to my wish/to buy list 2 I actually do have a Cabal Coffers I can add 3 I’ve never seen Cabal Stronghold till now and yeah it’s a ghetto coffers and I’ll add it to the to acquire list 4 Bubbling Muck did not make it past the third rounds of cuts along with Feldon's Cane but I’ll add it to the reconsider pile 5 Buried Ruin never crossed my mind because I want 93% of the artifacts IN the graveyard but I forgot about letting my commander go to the grave to then return to hand and recast at cmc not cmc+tax

I was also wondering about Urbog, Cabal Coffers and Cabal Stronghold are some staple mono black ramp cards. Crypt Ghast as well but he's not a rat
