Crow_Umbra on Good uses for bad cards

A couple of years ago, I used to run a commander deck helmet by Osgir, the Reconstructor. It featured a combo loop using Mirror of Fate + Ugin's Nexus to do a kind of Doomsday pile turns loop.

I can copy/paste the combo loop description if you're interested. Not sure if that's what you might be looking for.

Nov 1 Kaervek the Merciless, Vampires & Doomsday Demons (0-3) won with the Worldgorger Dragon combo with Dance of the Dead and Jagged Barrens. Some controversy as Josh tapped out on his turn then realized a couple turns later that he could have used one less land with his Sapphire Medallion in play and disrupted my combo with the March of Swirling Mist he had in hand.

The main lines for the deck seem to be to either keep the Doomsday tech in or go with Underworld Breach and a package that supports it. Cards I'm looking at include:

Brain Freeze to combo with Underworld Breach and Lion's Eye Diamond, plus Wheel of Fortune etc.

Sevinne's Reclamation since it allows Intuition to directly tutor the previous combo in regardless of choice with Sevinne's, Underworld Breach and Lion's Eye Diamond.

Final Fortune seems really powerful.

Opposition Agent and Dauthi Voidwalker stronk.

Draw dorks: Ledger Shredder, Faerie Mastermind, Esper Sentinel, also Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff.

For more protection, Ranger-Captain of Eos and Orcish Bowmasters

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer seems meh unless in your opener.

Smothering Tithe cool, but 4 mana.

An Offer You Can't Refuse, Strix Serenade, Minor Misstep, Mindbreak Trap, Dress Down

Hi Rocketman! I think you only saw my last comment which was an edit of the actual comment before it. :)

I had the chance to playtest the changes a bit and I found that Infernal Sovereign can help us play Final Fortune within a Doomsday pile when we drew all the cards because we will skip our draw step during the extra turn. :)

A couple of options are available to you here.

First, Cruel Bargain and Infernal Contract both help you lose life and draw cards. While not as effective as Peer into the Abyss, peer has a tendency to deck players. Just a thought.

Likewise, Death Wish is a great tutor for a silver bullet which also reduces the cost of the tutor target. Very useful.

Doomsday is kinda outside of what you're doing but could be an option. Usually people play doomsday in a combo deck as a final way to assemble the pieces. Your deck seems to be more of a value deck, which is more fun and interactive, so it's probably not a fit.

Best of wishes, great brew!!

I would say, on the topic of tutors, the problem is usually people not knowing the deck as well as they think they do. The only two decks I have a density of non-land searching is my Goblin Welder secret commander deck, and a deck I know inside and out that I've had basically since I started playing EDH; even complicated tutors like Doomsday and Realms Uncharted don't take me much time at all since I know my piles beforehand and can name all the cards I'm grabbing before I pick up the deck.

In addition to the low average CMC of the deck, the deck runs the following 17 non-land cards to satisfy its mana requirements: Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Dockside Extortionist, Dream Devourer, Hellcarver Demon, Herald of Slaanesh, Rakdos, Lord of Riots, The Balrog of Moria, Treasonous Ogre, Burnt Offering, Cabal Ritual, Dark Ritual, Sacrifice, Songs of the Damned, Jeska's Will, and Seize the Spotlight.

Because many of the effects are single use or sacrificed to Rakdos, we also run 22 cards that can find or draw the above cards in addition to more lands: Burning-Rune Demon, Doom Whisperer, Immersturm Raider, Rune-Scarred Demon, Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire, Villis, Broker of Blood, Demonic Consultation, Entomb, Thrill of Possibility, Valakut Awakening  ^Flip, Buried Alive, Cathartic Reunion, Demonic Tutor, Doomsday, Faithless Looting, Jeska's Will, Mizzix's Mastery, Reforge the Soul, Seize the Spotlight, Wheel of Fortune, Wheel of Misfortune, and Liliana's Contract.

Madcookie yeah I'd noticed too late and haven't got my hands on any better recursion atm. So those 2 cards are on top of the list, thanks!

Not too fussed about the combat damage tbh so Golden Argosy is an awesome suggestion, will get that on the buy list too.

Honestly, ad naus is there cos I had one, it's always handy if I get real screwed with cards and need to dig a bit. Doomsday is there to use with living death, if it's at the right time, can win the game if I really need a hail Mary. I wanna get a good rakdos doomsday pile but not come up with much yet.
