King Macar, the Gold-Cursed {2}{B}{B}

Legendary Creature - Human Noble

Inspired — Whenever King Macar, the Gold-Cursed becomes untapped, exile another target creature. If you do, create a Gold token.

King Macar, the Gold-Cursed I don't think it makes sense that his untap trigger is a may considering the whole point of king midas is that he can't control when things turn to gold, it just happens.

Create a curse enchantment that bestows the midas/macar touch onto a player.

Phenax, God of Deception with walls and weird utility spells (like Triton Tactics and King Macar, the Gold-Cursed) can be fun; puts everyone on a clock of sorts but still lets them cast (most of) their spells and try to win.

Gild and King Macar, the Gold-Cursed, who honestly I have always wanted to build but was never sure how to approach it.

I tried a tapdance deck but that's mostly going to need blue or red, which makes him a secret Commander and a combo finisher. I was looking to run him as the face of the deck, which severely limits the decks functionality.

Gold themed? Then you have to include King Macar, the Gold-Cursed! :):) Kidding aside, this looks like a lot of fun to play. I can't imagine it being a very fast deck though, considering its mana requirements. Maybe add some more mana fixing options like Chromatic Lantern or Prismatic Omen? Also, can't help but notice that most of the card-advantage options you've included for extra draw require (lots of) mana to draw. Maybe think about adding some options that aren't as expensive to use (Rhystic Study?).

Cool deck! Tbh this deck is going to need some significant changes to get it working smoothly, but it's a cool idea worth pursuing. I think the first thing you want to do is increase your land count to 35-36 for a deck of your style and average mana value. This is the number you'll see in a lot of beginner deck building resources.

This means making some significant cuts already but I think there's a couple areas that can stand it. You want your deck to be focused in what it's doing - rats and vehicles. The following I would suggest as a first round of cuts as IMO they are low impact, inefficient, and do serve your goals or themes well.

Basilisk Collar

Bonehoard

Infiltration Lens

Pennon Blade

King Macar, the Gold-Cursed

Brave the Sands

Cemetery Tampering

A fun card to add could be Entomb to put any vehicle in your deck into your graveyard to reanimate with Greasefang. Add Parhelion II as well and now Entomb can search for it and put it right in your graveyard ripe for the picking.

Hi,

Why did you choose Massacre Girl as your commander? Wouldn't King Macar, the Gold-Cursed fit better?

Thanks reddeath68. I actually run Mages' Contest in my chaos deck, Sucker Punch Party and it is hilarious to see how much life some people are willing to spend. Darkness is another one I run in my ninja deck Agents of Darkness which is great as well. I like King Macar, the Gold-Cursed's ability, but with the creature being exiled it sorta screws with my deck abilities since they need the creature to actually die to get buffed. It has "may" in the ability so I at least get a choice, so I'll do some testing and see what comes of it. Thanks for the vote and suggestions.
