Dargo, the Shipwrecker

Legendary Creature — Giant Pirate

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of artifacts and/or creatures. This spell costs less to cast for each permanent sacrificed this way and less to cast for each other artifact or creature you've sacrificed this turn.

The trick is of course that sacrificing Dargo, the Shipwrecker to Thermopod will pay for its commander tax due to Dargo's artifacts or creatures sacrificed this turn clause, and the mana from Thermopod can pay for casting him again. But yeah, it needs the startup. Although Treasure tokens would work too, you don't need 3 creatures per se ;-)

I got Dargo, the Shipwrecker + Thermopod + Desecrated Tomb .

I also have a question: Building time ends 4/23/2021 @ 12:00pm PT. Wasn't that, like, 4 weeks ago?

Hey Poooootato, thank you for checking the deck out and the comment. Since I wrote the description I have seen more decks come out trying to use the backside of Extus. However, many of them try to leverage the sacrifice creatures line to lower the casting cost and I believe that is a trap due to the fact you have to sacrifice the creatures as you cast the spell; unlike something like Dargo, the Shipwrecker that counts creatures sacrificed this turn, so you are setting yourself up to be blown out when the spell is countered on the stack. Even if it is not countered you now have to get even more creatures into play to sacrifice to cast the spell again. It is just too much effort for what you get out of it. Building Extus, Oriq Overlord  ^Flip as I have in this deck is much less effort for much greater effect.

If you want to play it aristocrat, I agree with you that you want to use some of the very few cards in magic that return an instant or sorcery back to your hand and cheap spells to try to get extra value with short loops. I have been working on deck focusing on the front of Extus, Oriq Overlord  ^Flip by using Biblioplex Assistant , Living Lightning , Returned Pastcaller , and Anarchist with various effects to do these loops. However, it feels very fragile and when I make it feel less fragile, I just push it into a generic aristocrats style and I might as well just play a better aristocrats commander at that point. If I ever get it feeling better I will post it here.

Little correction: Bludgeon Brawl is pretty useless with treasure. But you might want to consider Krark-Clan Ironworks as additional ramp similar to Goldspan Dragon .

I also found some more fitting cards:

Arcbound Ravager

Atog

Dargo, the Shipwrecker

Goblin Engineer

Goblin Welder

Captain Lannery Storm

Krark-Clan Stoker

Kuldotha Forgemaster

Megatog

Pia Nalaar

3> Ahhh I've been wanting to play with Obosh, the Preypiercer and Angrath's Marauders - glad you found a spot for them. While you're at it, you could also consider other "damage doublers" such as Wound Reflection and Fiendish Duo. I've thought about a Vial-Smasher deck with a White partner just to add Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

3> I see you enjoy big monsters and X-spells here. Oh to be young again... but seriously, this seems like a good deck to play them in as you would be rewarded. Instants are your friend, as you can Smash Vials on everyone's turn! No Comet Storm?

3> I would be worried about Vial-Smasher getting nuked from orbit as soon as your turn passes and it's no longer indestructible. You'll find Heroic Intervention and Slippery Bogbonder will help with targeted Exile removal. You already have Destroy and Sacrifice covered I see.

3> I see some cost-reduced and commander-free spells in there, but you have a limited suite. While doing research for my thoughts on Vial-Smasher, I found the following might be helpful - list is just copy/paste, so it will include some White and/or Blue cards:

abby315 on Picking a Partner for Tevesh …

6 months ago

Of the four, I think Tana, the Bloodsower has the most obvious synergy and Dargo, the Shipwrecker is the most powerful combo.

If you really want to play with Tevesh Szat as the spotlight, I would choose Tana and build a Prossh-style Jund sac deck; there are plenty of combos in those colors, but the focus would be on Tevesh Szat value engine.

If you build the Dargo deck, Dargo is really the important commander and Tevesh is just there to give access to black tutors and chump fodder if you can't find a faster engine. I've also seen that Dargo + a GB or GU partner is likely better if you want to go all-in on Dargo, since you can then also use him to Pod or Eldritch Evo into a wincon. It's definitely the more powerful deck, though. GLHF!
