Apoptosis on Wheel in the Sky

4 weeks ago

Updated!

Out are cards that help opponents or don't have ideal synergy or add to the major mechanics: Anvil of Bogardan, Horn of Greed, Dictate of Kruphix, Howling Mine, Temporal Mastery, Time Warp, Smoke, Sign in Blood, Mystic Retrieval, Dismal Backwater, Doom Blade, Damnable Pact.

In (reanimation theme and some targets for reanimation): Exhume (not 100% on this one), Soul Exchange (idealy would want one that could target all graveyards), Dance of the Dead, Animate Dead, Liliana of the Veil, Necromancy, Sire Of Insanity (bomb that minimizes opponent's ability to profit from the wheel), Mangara's Tome (I love this as a way to stack all of my reanimation cards, or anything else that I want to protect from my own wheel effects. Curious to see how it plays. The sceptor is included for the same reason), Sepulchral Primordial, Diluvian Primordial, and Molten Primordial.

Need to get an Academy Ruins.

RockIV on Golgari commander deck Opinions

2 months ago

Hi everyone, ive been recently building some commander decks. Lately ive made a monoblack commander, but after playing with it, i decided to transform it into a golgari.

Rocks Golgari power of death Commander

Im using Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord as my commander, my strategy is going to summon big creatures and sacrifice them (in the right moment) to do damage to all my oponents.

im using some reanimator spells to be able to bring them back, like Entomb, Buried Alive, Exhume. Animate Dead, etc. I decided not to include Reanimate, because of the life loss.

right now, i included more than 15 mana ramps, to be able to get the enought mana to cast the strong creatures as early as i can.

i still not shure if the creatures i choose are the correct ones, and also if the number of creatures is the correct.

i feel that creatures like Desecration Demon, Spiritmonger and Skarrg Goliath can be replaced for something better like, a Terastodon or a Hydra Broodmaster

what do you guys think? suggestion will be deeply apreciated.

ty for everyone that read or comment on this post and in the last one too :D

RockIV on monoblack commander building help!

2 months ago

hi everyone im building a monoblack commander deck, and im a little lost on how to make it functional.

Rocks monoblack commander

this is my deck, i tried to get the best monoblack cards that i have. but i feel the deck is not well builded.

i have some good cards that i didnt add. I have some reanimator deck posibilities , but i dont know if adding them would be a good move. Animate Dead, Buried Alive, Entomb, Exhume, Griselbrand, Reanimate, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Entomb

i have other options that i dindt choose i have some zombie lord type cards, but i feel i dont have that many zombies to make them functional.

what do you guys think? should i add the reanimator type cards?, or maybe take out some removal for other cards, what changes would you guys do to this commander?

ty for reading

GeminiSpartanX on Volrath, Voltron Reanimator

Profet93- Thanks for the suggestions! I think I will absolutely swap out Grimoire of the Dead for Skirge Familiar. Grimoire realistically costs 5 mana anyway since you need to activate its ability, and I have both Greed and a Sheoldred, the Apocalypse to add some combo elements to the deck.

I do have a Blightsteel Colossus, but it's not as useful for anti-milling since it only shuffles itself back into my deck rather than my whole graveyard. Against an infinite mill combo, it means I would be left with 1 card in my library, so I'd better win the next turn or die via decking. It IS a great creature, although it's tough to reanimate. For that reason I'll likely leave Strands of Night in the deck, as it's one of the 4 cards that can reanimate at instant speed. I might swap Victimize in for Exhume, but I'm always worried I won't have a creature out that I want to sac. I'll need to test out that theory more though.

The Broodlord is by far the easiest cut to make from the Beef section, and I agree that Torgaar isn't that great either. I do worry about having enough lifegain in the deck, so I'm planning to replace those with a Scion of Draco to give my black creatures lifelink while still having a high-cost pitchable creature, and adding the Sheoldred would also help on that front.

Archon does so much for me in drawing cards, killing creatures/PWs, and gaining life that I find it hard to cut. If I do cut it, I'd also probably cut Unmarked Grave since they go somewhat hand-in-hand, but I'm hesitant to do so.

Dauthi Voidwalker is un-cuttable imo, just as a way to make my Living Death or Exhumes better if nothing else. If I add my Bringer of the Last Gift, then even moreso I need that sort of effect. As far as cutting something that doesn't fit the deck's strategy, Opposition Agent is in the discussion since it's just a generally good card, but it might be too good to cut. Thoughts?

Classic reanimator strats in pauper, love it. The only thing I can think of is maybe to run Muddle the Mixture in a couple of your countermagic slots, as it represents extra copies of Exhume, which seems to be your only means of reanimating and a bottleneck for the deck!

This is a stompy deck for sure. Setting a fast clock and beating ass with Troll / Gurmag is a great gameplan, especially against my favorite deck (Altar Tron). My big questions is how this matches up against something like Caw-Gates or Mono Red.

Caw-Gates might get their value from lands but the exile based removal and sea of counterspells might run you out of gas. Your deck has a lot of threats but they can chump with Sacred Cat or Squadron Hawk long enough to dig for an answer, and once they get Cat + Basilisk Gate online they can race any threat in your deck with lifelink. Maybe your plan is to side out the dark rituals and Duress until you find an opening? Exhume definitely favors your beefy monsters over their 1/1s but idk how easy it is to resolve.

Mon Red is just absurdly fast. Do you ritual out a blocker really fast and race them or...?

Balaam__ on The Wicker Man, Recaned

Thanks for posting legendofa, I hadn’t seen Bitter Reunion. It’s an interesting one. I’m going to add it to the maybeboard for playtesting, but I don’t know how I feel about it at a glance. The promise of haste is enticing and would solve one of the main issues with how the deck plays now-the wait between Exhume and being able to attack.

The problem is that if we’re operating at peak efficiency, there isn’t an extra {1} to pay for haste the turn we cast Exhume. But without playtesting I can’t be sure. It may work better the majority of the time when we don’t have god hands.

Orange+ on Horobi and the Wailers ~100$

Hey, andmike.

Thanks for the comment :)

I dont have any immediate ideas for a 150$ build, but I guess you could consider adding some black staples. There are also some pretty decent death trigger cards that I dont play. There is probably much more interesting ways to add to the deck than introducing more staples (and making the deck much more similar to everyone elses), but finding good original cards is a harder process :)

Death trigger cards: Grave Betrayal, Massacre Wurm, and Revel in Riches.

Black staples: Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast, Cabal Stronghold, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Lightning Greaves, Skullclamp, Reanimate, Exhume, Dance of the Dead, Animate Dead, Necromancy, Grim Tutor, Bloodchief Ascension and Phyrexian Arena.

Best of luck!
