Isochron Scepter added. Grim Monolith removed. Now I have 2 Null Brooches haha!

If I cut anything for Isochron Scepter, it would be Grim Monolith. I don't want to use those other counterspells you mentioned. You don't have to agree with Deprive either.

Walking Ballista and Grim Monolith are probably worth looking into! Also, Kozilek, the Broken Reality is MUCH better than Hand of Emrakul.

Metroid_Hybrid on Maxing out pre-Modern cEDH

3 months ago

I have a single, serious cEDH deck built around Yawgmoth, Thran Physician— but with a single, important caveat: EVERY card in the deck that is not explicitly part of the central combo has an “Old” border; that is, either legitimately has a pre-Modern (pre-8ED) printing, or at least received a “Timeshifted” printing after the fact..

But with the printing of Hancock, Ghoulish Mayor, and the recent “Timeshifted” reprinting of Toxic Deluge, I am compelled to asked the T/O community for the first time in over 3 years……

How can I max-out the competitive potential of this particular deck, while still maintaining the said “pre-Modern” prerequisite?

The only possibilities that I can think of…

• Add Triskelion and/or Sling-Gang Lieutenant as back-up WinCons w/ Mikaeus, the Unhallowed

• Add Grim Monolith as the final cEDH mana rock...

• ???

Thank you. I would try to focus on draw/drain and protecting and accelerating the combos. Potential cuts: Angel of suffering, grave pact, dictate as they protect only if you do something. The same for grim haruspex and morbid Opportunist. Praetors grasp has no synergy. Leaden myr is too slow without haste. Oversold Cemetery is conditionally slow. Doomed Necromancer and Phyrexian Reclamation could be ok as you tutor things into the graveyard, although I would go for Witch's Cottage and Volrath's Stronghold.

Potential inclusions could be Imp's Mischief for protection, cheap targeted removal and mana rocks like Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, Mana Crypt.

I look forward to seeing two new decklists ;) I think for now I am out of ideas but would be interesting to see how this turns out. The deck would be way out if my budget and for my playgroup Sheoldred is not a suitable commander but I really like her in the 99 for my Braids Arisen Nightmare deck. Hope this works and I really like the deck!

Rhadamanthus on Grim Monolith + Forsaken Monument …

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link to help make sure people understand what all is going on in the question: Grim Monolith, Forsaken Monument

No, this doesn't work. Forsaken Monument only adds a single extra {C} when you tap something for colorless mana, not one for every colorless mana you add. Grim Monolith just produces 4 mana in this example, not 6.

Profet93 Forsaken Monument produces 6 with Grim Monolith. Netting you two.

41.5% of this deck has CMC 0 for a reason. I'm all in on Ad Nauseam. Fantastic suggestions but I have to be very mindful of CMC total. Right now it's at 55 but maybe I'm overthinking it?

Grim Monolith had to double check my list. Was very surprised it is not in. Guessing CMC 2 scared me away but it would allow me to go off a turn earlier.

Necropotence Ad Nauseum #2. Back ups are important. Will slot in.

Snuff Out and Force of Despair I know this deck needs more removal but 7 CMC is a lot of life. Slaughter Pact is truly free. These are guaranteed sideboard cards for certain match ups.

Of your anti blue tech Mind Twist is a great suggestion. Old school power. Conqueror's Flail is a great "can't" but involves too much setup in a creature lite list.
