Grave Peril

Enchantment

When a nonblack creature enters the battlefield, sacrifice Grave Peril. If you do, destroy that creature.

king-saproling Thanks for the advice, Grave Peril sounds like an awesome way to get leonin relic warder or academy rector in the grave. As well as mess with opponents in a repeatable way, Thanks!

Blood Pet might be good here. It can get Lurrus out a turn faster. These might interest you too:

Mentor of the Meek, Seal of Cleansing, Grave Peril, Ranger-Captain of Eos, Doom Whisperer

Mystic Reflection

This card seems pretty wild, being kind of a preemptive (and non-Disenchantable) Metamorphic Alteration. If you foretell it on one turn, it only takes one measly mana to use it in response to something on another turn. What kind of tricks can you think of using it for?

  • Grave Peril-esque pseudo-removal, turning an incoming commander (including Lord Windgrace) into a random 1/1 token. (Like being elk'd, you could cure this with flickering.)

  • Force someone to copy an unpleasant creature, like Steel Golem. Sadly, no Phage the Untouchables tho

  • Most obviously, use spells/abilities that bring in a lot of creatures in one go so that they all enter as a copy of something strong. One awkward thing here though is that an opponent could ursurp the reflection by getting in something of their own at instant speed. -inclusive commanders I can think of that qualify are Oona, Queen of the Fae and Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant, plus Tana, the Bloodsower & Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel with an appropriate partner. (Note that e.g. The Locust God is AFAIK underwhelming here since its triggers are separate; you'll only get a copy out of the first token.)

  • Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer could use it as an inexpensive (if somewhat risky) way of getting a token copy of something that his other tokens can then copy in turn.

  • Kind of narrow, but you could get extra value by having creatures with on-cast triggers like Mockery of Nature come in as a copy of something with an ETB trigger, getting you both triggers at the end of the day. (You could also do something like having a creature cast from your hand come into as a copy of a Dread Cacodemon to qualify for its ETB, but you could do the same with any creature card Clone variant.)

So, here's what I'm thinking:

Spreading Seas

Pyroclasm(2 copies or so)

Fatal Push(duh)

Lightning Bolt(duh)

Galvanic Blast

Aether Spellbomb

Necrogen Spellbomb and Scroll of Griselbrand

Nihil Spellbomb

Seal of Fire

Seal of Removal

Pyrite Spellbomb

Some Signets

Maybe Duress

Lantern of Insight and the mill friends, specifically Ghoulcaller's Bell

Thought Scour for consistency

Artificer's Intuition is a literal Survival of the Fittest here.

Whir of Invention

Ratchet Bomb because repeatable specified wraths is fun.

Shrine of Burning Rage and Shrine of Loyal Legions might be interested but their value is dubious.

Grave Peril can also control the board.

Locket of Yesterdays can help reduce mana costs of reanimating spellbombs.

I wonder if I can cast Lotus Bloom from my yard or if Lurrus of the Dream-Den doesn't allow that.

Os Mox Tantalite worth running?

Pithing Needle seems great.

Renegade Map for land draw?

maxon: any card that discourages an opponent from playing a certain way. Examples (as I probably described that in a not-great way) include Dread and No Mercy to discourage attacking me, Aura of Silence and Seal of Cleansing to discourage artifacts and enchantments, and Portcullis and Grave Peril to discourage creatures

I’d say most removal, counterspell, and fog effects can be used politically, especially if they’re repeatable. Cracking Spore Frog in Meren of Clan Nel Toth to save an opponent could have them owe you a debt, or pointing a removal spell at the Mind Over Matter or other combo piece can curry favor with every at the table (except the guy trying to combo off). This probably wasn’t exactly what you were looking for, but I think it’s worth mentioning.

Seizan, Perverter of Truth is kind of an option in black, although some might not look as well upon it due to the life loss. Also, Font of Mythos

I would also consider getting your creature count up to around 30. Look for Vampires that have EtB abilities that are can replace Sorceries you have. Like Butcher of Malakir instead of Grave Peril, etc

Yeah, I would cut Dark Ritual. In EDH the upside of ramping using spells is often diminished, unless you are playing storm. Mana rocks are a much better alternative.

Replace Terror with Terminate.

I would cut Blood Tithe for Exsanguinate. It's basically the same card, only Exsanguinate scales better into late game.

Vanquisher's Banner is a great inclusion if you are going to keep all of your one drop vampires. Heirloom Blade could be replaced by it?

I would cut Kindred Charge

Feast of Blood is underwhelming to me at sorcery speed, and you already have a bunch of single target removal. I would run a board wipe in its place, Damnation or Black Sun's Zenith.

Urge to Feed is cool flavorwise, but I don't think it fits, you have better single target removal and better pump elsewhere.

Grave Peril - Isn't a "may", and is easier to play around, gives your opponent the ability to creature they want to trigger it with. Might as well be a Chainer's Edict type spell, which I don't think you need as you are flush with single target removal.

Edge of Divinity - Is good for Edgar, and is great for the cost, but he will be dying often, and there are only 2 other targets for it in the deck that get full benefit. I think there are better persistent pump options.

Don't get me started on your Ajani bromance....

You're welcome.

But... now I'm reading the actual text on Grave Peril... there is a bit of a problem. Dunno if you've also spotted it. It kills your own Generator Servant. Replace with Executioner's Capsule, perhaps? In order to get more card types to GY, you could also consider Ghost Quarter, but your manabase is already pressed, so...

Seal of Primordium is a really good sideboard card. It's not good in each and every game, but for some games, it could replace Executioner's Capsule, without slowing down the delirium thing.
