Imp's Mischief

Instant

Change the target of target spell with a single target. You lose life equal to that spell's converted mana cost.

Whoops Profet93 Imp's Mischief is supposed to be in here along with Blast Zone! both are in the paper deck.

Yeah just added crucible so probably need more fetches. terrain generator has been good for me, but thats probs cuz I've been playing this deck in slower more casual metas and maybe is just too slow.

Alhammarret's Archive is cool but its five mana but actually the life gain is very tempting. I still wanna thin down the curve and everything/get rid of the fluff because I should be playing Night's Whisper effects but am too greedy cuz I want to play my big flashy black bois.

I can def see cutting Hedron Archive maybe thats what I swap for Doubling Cube.

Meteor Golem is an interesting suggestion because I'm not playing All Is Dust or big or little Ugene. It seems so overcosted though and the reanimate/recurring part of my deck is pretty small so idk.

I chose Vraska's Contempt because I wanted an exile effect somewhere in the deck even though its a turn slower and Murderous Rider > hero's downfall.

Not enough basics for stronghold to go off reliably.

Whats the purpose of snow basics, just for field?

Alhammarret's Archive - Extra draw

Blast Zone - Another way to deal with artifacts/enchantments, bringing it up to 3

Hero's downfall > Vraska contempt IMO

No Imp's Mischief for shits and giggles?

Cut terrain generator for another fetch to synergize with crucible.

Hedron archive is not needed, doesnt ramp your commander quickly and the draw wouldn't be used too often.

In your maybeboard, I like emrakrul (obviously). Meteor Golem can be another way to interact with artifacts and enchantments, and u can recur it.

DarthParkarius: Glad you like the deck! In answer to your questions...

1) Necroskitter was always a little... winmore here. It's cute, and is very helpful in a meta with a lot of mana dorks, but in general it kinda just sits there. It's a nice thing to slot in, if you have an extra slot, but... Not necessary to the deck's function.

2) Spidersilk Armor is in here for two reasons. First, this deck has always had issues with flying attackers. We spend our life somewhat aggressively, with cards like Necropotence, but almost nothing in the deck has flying. We have little trouble with attackers on the ground, since we get a lot of expendable deathtouching blockers, but Spidersilk helps patch that issue. Second, with Spidersilk out, we can loop with Yawgmoth, since each snake can survive a counter and still be sacrificed to Yawgmoth.

3) For now, Heroic Intervention and Veil of Summer have been sufficient so far. I may add Autumn's Veil and/or Imp's Mischief eventually, if I continue to have this issue.

Love the show! And this is a cool list. Some items I have included:

• Tortured Existence instead of Phyrexian Reclamation. With only 10 mana, you can already do 20 points of damage.

• Deserted Temple (doubling Nykthos or Cabal Coffers is just too good!) and Cavern of Souls, just to protect Syr Konrad. You could also go for: Rings of Brighthearth + Deserted Temple + Cabal Coffers/Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to reach infinite black mana and utilize the ability of our good Syr Konrad

• Undead Gladiator because you can cycle it for card draw and it pings your opponents. You can even recur it. Reassembling Skeleton is good yes. But this one also gives you a card draw.

• Mana Web is just too good. Most of the time people will be fully tapped out by this card; Also it is a rock star when Mesmeric Orb is out on the table.

• some more card draw as well, like: Dark Confidant, Arterial Flow, Sign in Blood If you want to go a slower route: Phyrexian Arena

• Protect Morality Shift with Imp's Mischief

I Hope you like these ideas.

As unoriginal as it is Phyrexian Arena I feel would be more suited for this deck than Ill-Gotten Inheritance, maybe even a Phyrexian Reclamation. Dash Hopes is a meme card, and while I love the card, I would suggest Imp's Mischief for consideration. Also Castle Locthwain and Crypt of Agadeem may be some other cards you might be interested in. Otherwise I dig what you got.

I dont know how you are gonna feel about this suggestion. Glasses of Urza, this is sneaky good. A strong political tool. That doubles as a Telepathy. Looking at key player hands before you cast powerful spells or before you execute a combo to see if it will work is huge. Using it politically by telling other players at the table "hey this player has Torment of Hailfire in their hand, careful" will help you stay alive longer by making other players aware of a threat they my not have seen coming.

Another great card I would suggest is Imp's Mischief, this cards amazing. I've changed the target of counter spells back to them selves so many times. They never see it coming. Also Imp's Mischief stops counter spells that say they can't be counted basically by giving it an illegal target, itself. Its beautiful.

Now some would say that Telepathy is better than Glasses of Urza but I digress. I think it's better. Not only that but its colorless. Giving blueless players the power of blue and sometimes black.

Wow. Nice Orzhov good stuff list. Lots of overlap in strategy. Focused cycles of creatures. Just going to spit ball some ideas of cards that might be useful.

Mangara of Corondor can't be abused so it should be replaced.

Worn Powerstone you are running a great set of rocks already. This could be Ancient Tomb or some of the spells I'm about to suggest.

Saw Kokusho. Where was Yosei, the Morning Star? Best one out of the cycle imo.

Imp's Mischief and Rebuff the Wicked counterspells.

Pull from Eternity interesting tutor.

Necromancy round out your reanimation spells.

Scroll Rack with Land Tax is one of the best engines in EDH.

This is fun.

• Rise of the Dark Realms. I love big spells and big one card finishers. I also love mass graveyard reanimation. It's so cool to cast as single spell that can change the game completely. It's so cool that this one spell can have so many different results. Especially since you are playing with your opponents creatures too. You never know what will happen in the next chance you get to cast this huge spell.

• Void. I love board wipes. I'm am Mr. Boardwipe at my LGS. I really like board wipes that can be planned for. Ones that after the wreckage settles you stand alone as the new threat. The player that just turned the game completely on it's back and now you're the winning player. All because of a well timed board wipe.

• Predatory Focus. I love swinging creatures for the win. I love chipping people down keeping everyone on even life total. Then bam surprise mutha fuckas. Didnt see that coming did ya. Slam down some card that gives great evasion to all my creatures for the win. Or slam down something that makes them trample for the win. I love flying creatures for this reason. This one could have also been Levitation or Archetype of Imagination. Swinging with creatures feels the most fun for me.

So me in a nutshell. Games that dont end quick or games that have lots of action. This is that type of game I strive to play. I tend to avoid combo wins even though I have one in half my decks. I hate using counterspells. They are just boring. Unless its Withering Boon or Imp's Mischief. I love those cards.
