irmsilver on Desecrated Tomb and Demonlord of …

3 weeks ago

Demonlord of Ashmouth dies without a +1/+1 counter while I control Desecrated Tomb. It's undying ability triggers, returning it from my graveyard to the battlefield. A card has left my graveyard, so Tomb triggers, and Demonlord enters, so its ability triggers.

I want to resolve Tomb first and Demonlord second, so I can create a bat token to sacrifice to Demonlord's trigger. But, I'm unsure if I can do this. I do know if the timing of the triggered abilities was the same, then I could order them on the stack as I choose, but IS the timing the same in this case?

Seems like a perfect shell to run Desecrated Tomb in. It wouldn’t combo off Warden of the Grove, but a steady supply of tokens is never a bad thing.

I have a Haunted House! deck that might have some spooky stuff in it you like! As far as actual functional combos, I think it’d probably just be Tortured Existence and Desecrated Tomb for lots of bats. Some of my favorites are Boarded Window, Cellar Door, and Stuffed Bear… all artifacts, now that I look at them.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Hmatzy, but unfortunately I’m definitely not the guy to ask here. I don’t play Commander and have basically no knowledge whatsoever of the format.

That said, I’m envisioning an engine that uses Desecrated Tomb coupled with a discard outlet like Putrid Imp and your Commander guy to really get some token action happening. Of course, I don’t even know if said cards are legal in the format, or if that’s even viable for EDH as a basic strategy, so take that with a grain of salt!

Looks fun! I enjoy Desecrated Tomb with Sir K, and thought I would mention it here. Not as good as some of the things you’ve got there (like altar of the brood - awesome!) but a fun thing to consider.

No problem. I’m not a Commander player (I’m not even familiar with the banlist) so I’m not really qualified to offer any suggestions, but I like the playstyle of this build. It leans heavily into some of my favorite mechanics; Dredge, Mill, the new Descend etc.

If I had to venture a thought, what about something like Desecrated Tomb? Seems it would trigger often, as things are leaving the graveyard somewhat regularly. Might not be impactful enough though.

What a fun combo! I love Desecrated Tomb - it doesn't see enough play. Really fun deck.
