Cauldron Familiar

Creature — Cat

BirdieGirlie on Black Parmesan

This is a very, very intriguing start of a decklist!!!! I was just looking at another deck that had the enchantment Skybind - I think it would be fascinating to do a black/white deck combining some of these very powerful ETB effects with the flicker effect of that card, multiplied by Panharmonicon!!!!

Just some random black, white, or black/white cards I think might have good ETB effects for this concept:

Gnawing Vermin

Thieves' Guild Enforcer

Cauldron Familiar

Blood Seeker

Burglar Rat

Corpse Knight

Corrupt Court Official

Dirty Rat

Gatekeeper of Malakir

Tainted Adversary

Basilica Bell-Haunt

Company Commander (I mainly play big casual multi-person games so this suggestion is with that in mind!)

Slumbering Keepguard

Soul Warden

Charming Prince

I'd make a list of all the cheap enchantments I think might work for this too, but I see I am already going overboard.

Tbh I am a fairly new player and very new to deckbuilding but thought I'd drop you a line!!!

I think the big issue you’re going to run into is that the deck looks really slow - you currently have nothing to do on turn 1 which is going to put you a full turn behind your opponent (a really dangerous place to be). I’d be suggesting running at least 8-10 1-drops that are playable on turn 1. As you’re a sacrifice deck, cards like Cauldron Familiar, Witch's Oven, Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, and The Underworld Cookbook can all be very strong here.

wallisface,

Good points! I'll replace Fae of Wishes and Memnite for Cauldron Familiar along with some other changes. Thoughts?

  • If the clocks too clumsy to run mainboard, then you really need to extend your sideboard to make Fae of Wishes more useful - at least10 of your 15 sideboard cards should be toolbox options exclusively for Fae. However, something in particular be aware that a 4-mana search card is really expensive, and Fae is going to mess up with your own tempo a vast-majority of the time. If the card it grabs can’t immediately shut down the opponent, then its likely cost you the game.

  • Cauldron Familiar could be a strong replacement for Memnite. Going down that route might mean you also wanting to find room for Witch's Oven to run that combo as a plan-B.

  • Unearth is still decent with only a low creature count, as you’ll almost always want to be bringing back Asmo or Manufactor anyway (nothing else is worth unearthing whether-or-not they’re in the deck). Also note that if you can discard Manufactor early you can bring it back turn 2 and have an absolutely explosive turn.

Thran Vigil I was hoping to make a deck loosely based around this card.

Considered cards include Soul of Windgrace Tenacious Underdog Simian Simulacrum Soul Transfer Bushwhack Gaea's Gift Cult Conscript Sheoldred, the Apocalypse Gixian Puppeteer

Also considered turning it into a historic deck and adding it to the combo Cauldron Familiar and Witch's Oven

Chaddish it hasn't been optimised as my partner hasn't figured out what she likes/dislikes about it yet, and as it's her first EDH deck it's not going to be super competitive yet. As well as that, it's more of a social deck too.

That being said, there are a couple of wincons. The less obivous and more difficult is draining your opponents out,Cauldron Familiar doesn't target so you can start the incremental damage there. If you're smart with the curses, Trespasser's Curse, Curse of Fool's Wisdom and a flipped Accursed Witch  Flip can start to add up. Torment of Scarabs and Cruel Reality can help here too but are reliant on them not wanting to lose resources, but that can still be helpful. Leechridden Swamp can add to this total too.

The clearest would be creature beatdown, 3/3 Demons from Tasha, the Witch Queen. It relies on opponents dealing damage to other opponents usually, but our playgroup is quite creature centric anyway. The curses can help here too; Curse of the Restless Dead, and Curse of Disturbance give you (and opponents) extra Zombies to push through some damage.

The most fun but least consistent way of winning is the wincons not in your deck - taking them via Tasha or other stealing means. A particular favourite of mine was Coffin Queen resurrecting a Gray Merchant of Asphodel for a double kill.

That being said, this deck is still in the early stages and will change over time - mostly as my partner figures out the way she wants to play the deck. At the moment it's a casual flavourful start, but I'll keep updating it as it gets more competitive too.

Hello everyone!

I am looking to improve my deck: Mono-Black Historic Artisan.

Specifically, I wanted to be able to accelerate the game in the middle. In my playtesting I have noticed that the deck struggles to keep pace in the mid game if it cannot take out opponents early on. I have pinpointed the issue as a lack of sizable card advantage. Cling to Dust and Asylum Visitor are my only current sources of draw, but I'm trying to look for better ways to draw cards and make the deck more efficient at bringing out its wincons.

Also, is there a way to make Cauldron Familiar and Witch's Oven go infinite? Is there, like, a creature that can do this?

Thanks in advance!
