collawolla on Obeka Theft Tribal

just fyi, Obeka cannot be used to cancel "until end of turn effects." These do not use the stack and trigger during the cleanup step. When Obeka taps, she will just make a new cleanup step and all until end of turn effects will still trigger. What you're looking for is "at the beginning of the next end step." or "at end of turn." Because all instances of "at end of turn" have been oracled to "at the beginning of the next end step." You've got it right with Kiki-Jiki, Zara, and Puppeteer Clique for instance. Obeka has no real synergy with Act of Treason, Coercive Recruiter, or Traitorous Blood and the like however, aside from stealing temporarily to make clones of someone's creature. Basically always avoid "until end of turn." Some good examples of theft spells that she works splendid with are Treacherous Urge, Macabre Mockery, Gruesome Encore, and Slave of Bolas.

It's pretty disappointing because she's really only viable with like 10 different theft cards, so theft is only ever great as a sub-theme for Obeka.

You can also use her to cancel out bad ETBs such as in Boldwyr Heavyweights like in your maybeboard, Eater of Days or Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger. This is kinda dicey however if you're mixing a lot of end step effects and bad etbs as you'll tap in response to the ETBs then leave the end step effects to still trigger on the very next end step, which will be your opponent's. "At end of combat" triggers such as those on Flamerush Rider also work with her as they use the stack on the End of Combat step.

The 4 copies of Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger feels like too many, i wouldn’t think you’d want more than 2 in a deck.

24 lands also feels like a lot here. Its probably fine if you’re really wanting to hardcast the Fury/Grief, but really you could get away with 22.

Have you considered adding in some amount of Feign Death and/or Undying Malice so that you can make full use of the Fury/Grief also?

I know I haven’t posted in a long, LONG time, but maybe I can explain why I chose certain cards and what changes I’ve made

Metropolis39 - I appreciate you diligently working with me to help the deck grow and adapt. March of Reckless Joy was a consensus of other Mardu Pyro players and myself discussing draw potential. Since the deck was leaning more and more , it made sense to lean on it as a good card filter/threat finder. But, it definitely came at a cost of being particularly devastating if countered. Hopefully there comes along some decent card draw like we once enjoyed with Faithless Looting. So, yeah, March was a feeble attempt to fill the void left by Looting.

YamishiTheWickedOne - also, thanks for your enthusiasm as well as I’ve been working on the deck. Even if the techs are suboptimal by meta standards, I appreciate you trying to see from my POV. For win-cons, the deck has always tried to 1) grind through and dismantle opponents’ game plan, 2) go wide with tokens, and 3) swing with creatures and burn spells. So, the deck doesn’t really rely on one specific threat sticking (like Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger. That being said, I was wrong about excluding (at least 1) Kroxa. The utility it provides the deck, from discard, to burn, to clock, to giant-ass beat-stick is really what this deck needs.

I’ve been experimenting with returning to the roots of Young Pyromancer and Manamorphose, and I’ve been testing out Monastery Mentor-based builds. It definitely feels more glass cannon with Mentor, but when it pops off, it’s insane!

Thank y’all for your patience and dedication to the build. I greatly appreciate it.

Gleeock on Tutorless Commander?

Crow-Umbra funny you should mention Sterling Grove as an example of what type of tutor I keep around, because that was one of the other ones I left in that same deck for that exact reason :) . I rarely pop it for its' tutor ability.

Hard to say card draw compensation occurs hard (maybe a little), hard card draw is one thing I see popping up in our low-tutor total meta, but we actually usually see more: "to the battlefield" bombs to make up for suboptimal setup-fixing at times.

Last outing, I won about 3 games of 6 with suboptimal min-tutor decks & they were mostly back-&-forth affairs which could have gone either way (the best environment for little incremental damage pieces). One game I won after an Obliterate by the skin of my teeth by opting to pull Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger instead of another land & then gambling that my opponent would discard his last 3 life :) . The other game I caught up in a big way with flashback on Storm the Festival & that put me over-the-top to overcome early game enchantress removal. Lastly, my Breena deck somehow ran roughshod over everyone with Heliod vigilance-ing all my white weenies. So a lot of aggro & midgame fun in that playgroup with a smattering of catchup spells instead of tutors.

I’ve playtested Soulless Jailer a bit in my own taxes shell and it feels… awkward. It does stop some things the opponent can do but not everything you’d expect (they can still cast Gravecrawler or Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger from the graveyard, for example). Personally I was disappointed by this card - there’s better things we can do for 2 mana.

Against All Odds looks terrible/unplayable just due to its mana cost.

Ossification likewise just feels a bit weak when On Thin Ice exists

Jegantha is Lurrus lite

I must admit I have never ever seen Underworld Breach in a deaths shadow list like this before. How has it been with Ledger Shredder? Is the idea behind running it to have some recursion after losing lurrus? (Honestly if we still had lurrus it seems even stronger because you could play it from the graveyard repeatedly).

Personally I've been preferring running more copies of Heat than bolt, although maybe there is a bit of antisynergy with Breach. I also think a 2-2 split of Pierce+Flusterstorm might be better in the board although it depends on what meta you are going for of course.

Also what do you think about 1 mainboard Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger? I'm a bit out of the loop in magic recently (like in the last year) so it seems most people are only running 0-1 copies now because of Ledger Shredder.

P.S.: I actually just found one list with Underworld Breach played on modo so I guess some other people are running this card, I'm not completely convinced yet but it seems super interesting.
