Darksteel Plate

Artifact — Equipment

Darksteel Plate is indestructible.

Equipped creature is indestructible. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)

Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

DreadKhan on Berserk

I'm not sure if you're interested in ideas, but I remember really enjoying Berserk, so I hope you don't mind a few ideas that came to me while looking through this!

Brand of Ill Omen and Brand have some vorthos value, Ill Omen is the better card IMHO but just getting back your equipped Commander when she's stolen can be huge IMHO.

Darksteel Plate maybe (or Mithril Coat I guess?)? Maybe Two-Handed Axe (though in the manga I mostly remember the author hating on axes)? IMHO either would be an easy to card to alt art, Darksteel Plate into Guts' armour, and Two-Handed Axe into his sword (he did have more than one iteration)? Flavorwise it's funny that you could give Guts Double Strike at instant speed with the Axe, he often gets the drop on people.

Maybe Tome of Legends and use the cover art from the first manga for the alt art?

At your budget I wonder if you've considered Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep and Shizo, Death's Storehouse? There is also Witch's Cottage to consider, but it's colourless and thus worse arguably in a 3 colour deck.

A lot of unique mono black combos in one deck. I utilize some of these myself but not all together. Great deck!

Any problematic enchantments in your current meta? Feed the Swarmfoil

Demonic Counsel you run a playset of demons Ob Nixilis, Unshackled being a combo piece. With delirium it is classic D Tutor. Not necessary but something to ponder.

Last Laugh big fan of this janky old rare. I think it's an EDH sleeper. Indestructible "fixes" it. Perhaps Darksteel Plate?

You need Hammer of Nazahn, Grafted Exoskeleton, Shadowspear and Open the Armory. Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, and Mox Opal if possible.

Cuts:

Adaptive Automaton (clunky, what are you choosing??)

Benalish Marshal (too mana intensive for so little impact)

Bladegraft Aspirant (same)

Burnished Hart (too slow)

Chief of the Foundry (too much mana for so little impact)

Eivor, Battle-Ready (way too expensive)

Kassandra, Eagle Bearer (not really cost efficient since you don't have the spear)

Militia Bugler (not good)

Mother of Runes -> Giver of Runes

Novice Knight (not good)

Thraben Inspector (not really refined for your game plan)

Darksteel Plate -> Mithril Coat

Explorer's Scope (not good)

Haunted Plate Mail (not good)

Ring of Thune (not good)

Sword of Hours (not good)

Sword of the Paruns (not very good)

Hieromancer's Cage -> Borrowed Time

Pacifism (not good)

Stasis Snare -> Grasp of Fate

Council's Judgment (this card sucks)

Visions of Ruin -> Vandalblast

Icaruskid on Imagine Dragons | Budget Rosnakht [PRIMER]

Hey hey khayoz!

I went all in on go wide as my first version. It had all the Heroic spells and concentrated on buff and damage spells, no voltron:

Buff:
Metallic Mimic
Roar of Resistance
Heraldic Banner
Coat of Arms
Shared Animosity
Obelisk of Urd
Signal Pest
Konda's Banner
Eldrazi Monument
Dynacharge
Weapon Surge
Ogre Battledriver

Damage:
Throne of the God-Pharaoh
Hellrider
Impact Tremors
Witty Roastmaster
Livewire Lash

It played pretty well. Board wipes were absolutely the killer. The game becomes adding the right amount of creatures and damage without overextending. Also sometimes my little kobolds were outclassed by more powerful creatures and couldn't attack. I could have added Dolmen Gate and evasion but then we are leaving my playgroup's budget behind. This is where I discovered Descent of the Dragons and thought it would be a great finisher that's also a "buff" spell and on theme. Then that led me to Transmogrify and I've never looked back.

But the overlap approach can do work. Like Draconic Destiny adds to your voltron threat but it also enables Rosnakht to attack giving the kobolds the buff they desperately need. Dynacharge and Weapon Surge are modal so you can buff the whole team or sneak in a voltron kill.

I haven't tested all in voltron. But indestructibility might be important. Mithril Coat, Darksteel Plate, Commander's Plate, and Hammer of Nazahn might be worth a try. I just wanted something with more sizzle, style wise.

Hope this helps! Let me know what you learn!

GetZombified Darksteel Plate stands out to me. Beyond that I'd probably say Cancel and maybe an Island or two.

Dalcron on Shirei of the Weak

Played this tonight and I am still 14 cards short of the full deck. It was a lot of fun but I got targetted real quick.

Two things: Have you considered using Mithril Coat over Darksteel Plate?

Second, how does a typical early game go for you? I feel like playing on curve, which I did, makes it too easy for opponents to keep you shut down.

Epidilius on Faster game starts and smoother …

HeadinPants I brought up a couple of combo decks because they are easy examples, but it applies to other styles too. Grixis Stax has us locked down, and no one can break us out? Scoop. Mono Red Jhoirah has Darksteel Plate equipped to the commander, and no has exile effects? Scoop. The Boros Iroas deck has just cracked one player for 78 damage, and the other two players don't have a board wipe? We scoop.

We have a varied meta in our playgroup, both in terms of deck styles and power levels, but the quick scoop is something we do all the time.
