Corpse Dance
Instant
Buyback (You may pay an additional as you play this spell. If you do, put this card into your hand as it resolves.)
Return the top creature card of your graveyard to the battlefield. That creature gains haste until end of turn. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.

Varragoth Mono Black Creatueless Combo Win
1 month ago
hootsnag +1
I also run a mono black (almost) creatureless deck. May I recommend Spreading Plague for creature control or is it too high CMC? Works with fountain port to kill blue creatures. On that note, No Mercy and The Abyss are great anti-creature cards.
Imp's Mischief - "Counter" counterspells, redirect targeted removal, draw and extra turns!
What combos r u running? I see aethflux + bolas citadel + top. Rings + basalt + top. What else am I missing?
I thought The One Ring Was Banned, or am I mistaken?
Maybe add some light stax like Torpor Orb or even a Cursed Totem depending on the meta (I know it hurts you but worth noting).
You have a really low avg cmc and a large amount of tutors. You could probably remove 1 land if you wanted. Speaking of lands, while i hate Lake of the Dead, it seems like a good fit for what you wanna do.
While not an entirely serious suggestion, Voltaic Key can untap ur large mana rocks like basalt, grim, mana vault and sol ring. Moreover, it combos with everflowing (4 counters) + rings + voltaic = Infinite mana. Speaking of combos, since rings is a good part of it, having some artifact recursion such as Buried Ruin is nice to have. Moreover, while not a serious suggestion, Crucible of Worlds can go well with your sac lands. Bonus points if you add fetches. Fetches can be used with rings for ramp, shuffle your library (in case top says ur top 3 suck), and with crucible for consistent land drops. Might be a bit too slow for the deck but wanted to share it.
Speaking of recursion, Yawgmoth's Will - Super powerful.
At the risk of being too niche, Corpse Dance is fun to ensure no commander tax + built in haste.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

One last thing to chew on over the weekend:
Corpse Dance > Reanimate. You are a sacrifice deck. The restriction is nullified. Buyback also breaks one of the fundamental rules of the game. 5 is a lot more than 1 but it is reusable, no life loss and instant speed.

Kaalia of the Vast: Gasoline & Sunshine
1 year ago
Haha wow you are right. I never really digested what it is doing. 3 life for 1 colorless with an IF trigger. Perma haste... It's hard to argue with you because it's crucial to this strategy but Mardu needs color mana so badly. If this strategy was running Urborg I wouldn't be questioning your suggestion.
Entomb is the last piece of the reanimation shell that remains. Corpse Dance is Kaalia #2 in this list. Reanimate is probably going to get upgraded to Shallow Grave again. All that said, I'm not sure if I'm running enough graveyard centric cards to support it anymore.

Avoiding Consequences

Really like this shell. Corpse Dance and Sneak Attack are pet cards of mine and this is a great home for both!
Urza's Saga get dreadnought or your ring.
Hall of the Bandit Lord and/or Flamekin Village haste is useful in a pinch.
Riptide Laboratory commander protection.
Demonic Collusion neat discard outlet.
Prismari Command and/or Kolaghan's Command really neat swiss army knives.
Jaxis, the Troublemaker and/or Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance on theme.

Kill, Kill and Kill some more.

Cabal Stronghold/Cabal Coffers - Former budget, latter not. Big black mana producing lands. Contamination does shut them off though. Should that be an issue, note Infernal Darkness as a potential alternative.
Crypt of Agadeem - Ramp
Bojuka Bog - Personally, not a huge fan of tapped lands. But with fetches, you can use at instant speed. Not needed but worth considering depending on amount of GY decks in the meta.
Shizo, Death's Storehouse > Rogue's passage - Once budget opens, this is an upgrade. Not needed but worth considering.
Contamination - Sacrifice synergy. High synergy with bitterblossom, reassembling skeleton and any other creature that can return to field.
Syphon Mind > Dark Tutelage - While you have a relatively low avg cmc of 3.00, black has better draw that doesn't hurt you as badly. Not to mention it's steady draw, which can be good, but sometimes burst draw is preferred. Syphon mind is draw 3, each opponent discard 1. Budget friendly too.
Skullclamp - Speaking of draw, this goes well with all your sac synergies.
Murderous Rider > Murder - Can hit Walkers, is versatile as a creature with lifelink that can recoup your lifeloss. Almost a strict upgrade.
Feed the Swarm - Removal that hits enchantments. Black has difficult with artifacts and enchantments. I can provide you with some potential artifact removal should you wish depending on your meta. But this might be worth considering given that a Rest in Peace can mess u up.
Maybe Corpse Dance - With your sac outlets, you can ignore the negative aspect of the card. Also do note that after a wipe, you can choose the order in which your creatures enter the GY if they go together simultaneously.
Dark Ritual - Simple ritual ramp
Mind Stone - Ramp when you need it, draw when you don't.
Oubliette - Commander hate
At the risk of being too risky and pricey, Hatred - Do note life loss is additional cost to cast but it can be fun with use with your commander, either with it's ability or commander damage. Not to mention the political aspect of using it on your opponents attacking each other (Bonus points if you use it on their commander).

Toshiro, The Black Swordsman
1 year ago
Profet93 There ya go. Updated Toshiro's side of things, giving him much more longevity (rez) & speed (draw).
Threw in a Bolas's Citadel for my altered Sensei's to boot (Aetherflux Reservoir when needed). And left the Magus of the Coffers + Yahenni, Undying Partisan (for infinite sac-rez with Corpse Dance) in the sideboard for now.
This created a 33+ card sub-out for the deck swap, now going from Goodstuffs/Theft to Tribal/Theft, and boosting the overall flavor of the theme. "Guts & Griffith, the Eternal Struggle" =D

A "Hatred" for Shadow
1 year ago
Fog of Gnats is a great common. Cool to see it in here. Nightshade Stinger might be worth a spot.
If Corpse Dance is too narrow you could definitely get value out of Unearth. If you want to get weird with it try Dawn of the Dead.
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth fixes Hall of the Bandit Lord and the shadow strategy really needs haste.
