Desolation

Enchantment

At end of turn, each player who tapped a land for mana this turn sacrifices a land. If a Plains is sacrificed this way, Desolation deals 2 damage to that Plains's controller.

Want to give this a shot for a little more board control while I set up.

Hi,

This looks pretty cool. Even without Tergrid, your deck will make it hard for opponents to establish a board-presence with creatures. I would really throw in a Torment of Hailfire; it fits so well with the overall theme. Then there's your opportunity for additional draw; the deck contains maybe five options for that; most being non-recurring. Ideally, EDH decks should carry around maybe 10 on average. Some ideas: Geth's Grimoire, Tinybones, Trinket Thief, Phyrexian Arena and Underworld Connections.

I see you've included a lot of mana-artifacts, so also including Desolation might make sense from that point of view, but ... I dunno. It seems like you've sacrificed all your artifact utility slots for artifact mana slots in order to use this card. And there are so many interesting artifact utilities you now don't have space for, like the aformentioned Grimoire but also other stuff that would really fit the theme like Smokestack, Bolas's Citadel, Anvil of Bogardan, etc.

Lastly, I would really recommend replacing Enslave, Inevitable End and Strands of Undeath with enchantments that allow you to benefit from and/or punishing others for discarding/sacrificing; black has so many nice options to choose from for this like Megrim, Liliana's Caress, Raiders' Wake, Waste Not and Bloodchief Ascension.

Have fun with the deck.

Regards,

This looks absolutely vicious - I love it. A deck like this will draw a massive amount of ire, though, so it might help to keep everyone off your back by taking aim at their mana base! Desolation should be excellent here, letting you swipe your foes' lands every turn they try and pay for anything.

Oppression, Desolation, and Painful Quandary are all quite strong. Deserted Temple and Rings of Brighthearth can give you an infinite mana combo with your Cabal Coffers to win with the lantern. Sangromancer can give life as fuel for citadel and aetherflux.

My Last Adjustments

Demonic Consultation over Grim Tutor ... Extraplanar Lens over Chromatic Lantern ... Cabal Stronghold over Swamp -Want to see if there is any value in this card. ... Dreadhorde Invasion over Sedgemoor Witch -Want a consistent creature per turn for when I buy Contamination over Desolation and it is the cheapest option.

Eventually I will change mana base with fetch lands as well to thin deck a bit. I will also try to get my hands on a Mana Crypt and Lake of the Dead

With Tergrid out I'd imagine Desolation would be absolutely BACKBREAKING to your opponents. Very sweet list! I feel like this deck just loves Rankle, Master of Pranks right? Seems like a sweet include! The edict effects are nice, might i suggest a copy of Dreadhorde Invasion and maybe Bitterblossom so your sac effects don't make you pitch your other value creatures? Not sure what the budget for the deck looks like but these all seem like they could be highly synergistic!

Thoughts on Desolation , Necrogen Mists , and Bottomless Pit ? If it fits in your plan forcing discard might mess up some people’s plans.
