SufferFromEDHD on Kotis Plays Your Deck

Too hard keeping up with everything these days. They snuck this legend past me! Built in indestructible is awesome. Exploit that. Bontu's Last Reckoning is neat tech. Possibly cut 2 lands for 2 more mana rocks to round out the full playset. Damnation is a good start. Spreading Plague is gooder.

Infiltrator's Magemark opens up all your auras

Obsidian Battle-Axe auto attach, haste AND mills 2 cards deeper

Unholy Grotto counter to sacrifice effects which will be coming your way for sure

Painful Memories, Memory Lapse, Hinder and Temporal Spring card selection for your well timed theft

DemonDragonJ on Why Do Players Say "Boardwipe" …

1 month ago

"Boardwipe" is a common slang term for a card that can destroy all permanents, or all permanents of a specific type, that are currently on the battlefield, with Wrath of God and Damnation being two of the best-known examples, but I wonder why players are using that term, rather than saying "boardwiper," since the word "wipe" is a verb, while "wiper" is a noun, which means that it is the more appropriate term, at least from the perspective of one who was once and English major (before changing to history, and then technical support).

What does everyone else say, about this subject? Why do players say "boardwipe" instead of "boardwiper?"

Cool build. I love The Lord of Riots. only thing I would really suggest is to add some more mana-rocks. Fellowar stone is pretty solid for the money, especially in multiplayer... Other thoughts---Maybe a Jeska's WillGC or Dark Ritual ? A couple more signets or talismans? I really like Lotus Petal in any deck and almost always have a couple tutors and boardwipes in the mix. Gamble is super affordable. And considering Rakdos makes your creatures cost less, I could see a rather Jank Wildfire working in here. Cheaper than Damnation . It could potentially clear the board and slow the rest of the table down significantly if you already have your Commander in play. That being said, this is a solid deck for the price and Jund. Nice build!!

I think Choke is a card you’d probably leave in the sideboard to battle decks that use islands. But I think Power Conduit is a good mainboard addition:

• 4x Blooming Marsh
• 3x Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
• 1x Overgrown Tomb
• 4x Polluted Delta
• 4x Swamp
• 4x Verdant Catacombs

• 4x Urza's Saga

• 3x Quicksilver Fountain

• 4x Power Conduit
• 1x Shadowspear
• 1x Expedition Map
• 1x Nihil Spellbomb

• 1x Pithing Needle

• 4x Fatal Push

• 4x Damnation
• 2x Cling to Dust
• 4x Collective Brutality
• 3x Shadow of Doubt

• 4x Thoughtseize

• 4x Bloodghast

My thoughts as a rough draft

• 4x Darkslick Shores
• 3x Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
• 4x Polluted Delta
• 4x Swamp
• 2x Undercity Sewers
• 4x Verdant Catacombs

• 2x Watery Grave

• 3x Quicksilver Fountain

• 4x Fatal Push

• 4x Damnation
• 4x Preordain
• 4x Counterspell
• 4x Drown in the Loch
• 3x Spell Pierce

• 2x Force of Negation

• 4x Bloodghast

• 2x Harbinger of the Seas
• 3x Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student  ^Flip

I feel like Bloodghast plays soo well as a wincon alongside Oboro that it felt like the direction to push in. Everything else is ensuring we get enough time to flood the board and create misery.

I see you're playing Birthing Pod. It's important to have a solid mana curve for your creatures. Currently, you only have one two-cost creature, which could cause some issues. You might want to consider adding a few more two-drops. Some suggestions include Marionette Apprentice, Blood Artist, Feasting Hobbit , or Wight of the Reliquary. To stay consistent, Yisan, the Wanderer Bard could also be a good addition.

I would also recommend tweaking your removal package. You could replace or supplement Decree of Pain with Damnation and/or Toxic Deluge. For additional targeted removal, consider adding Beast Within , Assassin's Trophy, or Nature's Claim to lower the overall cost of your removal spells.

Since you'll be sacrificing a lot, Noxious Revival could be a great addition to your deck.

Darksteel Forge is another fun card to consider, especially in combination with Bane of Progress. If you go this route, you could also include Nevinyrral's Disk for even more synergy.

Good luck with building your deck!

Some thoughts:

• Generally a deck wants either countermagic or hand-disruption, not normally both - as it creates a weird jumble of tempo and mismatched-plans. This is why you'll see basically no control decks running hand disruption. In that vein i'd suggest removing the Thoughtseize.

• A lot of cards in your deck are just not good. Specifically, instead of running Anoint with Affliction, Corrupted Resolve, Serum Snare, Reject Imperfection, or Fuel for the Cause, you're better off just running good-cards like Counterspell, Fatal Push, and Drown in the Loch.

• Similarly, Infectious Inquiry being sorcery speed makes it really terrible and unplayable. Same goes for Vivisurgeon's Insight and Phyrexian Arena. These cards are all just too clumsy, don't do enough, and give your opponent the opportunity to do things.

• I think your creatures validate your opponents interaction too much and also mess with your own plan to control the game.

• The sideboard choices confuse me.

If I were trying to build a deck like this, I'd be using the following as a base:

• 23x Lands
• 3x Virulent Wound
• 4x Prologue to Phyresis
• 4x Vraska's Fall
• 4x Drown in Ichor
• 1x Inexorable Tide
• 2x Damnation
• 2x Cling to Dust
• 3x Fatal Push
• 4x Counterspell
• 4x Drown in the Loch
• 2x Sheoldred's Edict
• 4x Preordain

I will replace all Opt with Consider as you have a better chance to play the card from graveyard than from the bottom of library. What do you think of replacing 2 Damnation for 2 Toxic Deluge?
