Destroyerbirb on K'rrik Son of Yawgmoth 2.0

2 days ago

For cuts I would recommend:

Professor Onyx - While Liliana's side job is beneficial for society (educators are very important, especially those who help us raise people from the dead), the deck doesn't have a strong spell slinger theme so her static doesnt work, the minus three is not as optimal as it makes itself out to be, and other effects are... not worth the six mana and time required.

Charcoal Diamond - You've got a ridiculous amount of ramp in this deck already, not sure this piece is needed. Plus, with the way K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth works, you want to ramp in colourless more than in black with your artifacts and similar since K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth always pays for black anyways, so Mind Stone just makes Charcoal Diamond look that much more of a downgrade.

Defense Grid - Not really seeing the point. Plus, this is meant to be a casual deck, all this will do is make everyone more upset and make interaction harder.

Saw in Half - It's a fun card not really worth adding.

Meathook Massacre 2 - I have a feeling it's a bit redundant to have both, especially since they both do a bit different things and you've got many tutors. Cutting the second part instead of its original installation would make more sense because this copy does cost a lot for its effect, whereas The Meathook Massacre became so played because it being pretty low costing for everything it does.

Paradise Plume - A lot of mana for its effect, and you have too many ramp cards.

Shared Trauma - Not too sure on this card's inclusion and what it would do.

Chain of Smog - I personally don't think discard cards are very strong in EDH, might be a good cut. I can see this being played against CEDH players and having a big effect, but EDH? Not as convinced.

Grim Tutor - You've got a lot of tutors, you can cut this one.

Final Parting - Same as above.

Diabolic Tutor - You can guess what I've got to say about this one.

Platinum Angel - I think take this one out. You can't pay life below zero so I'm not sure why else this would be in the deck.

Phage the Untouchable - As you said, you'd put it in your maybeboard and have it come out a game or two so you can just say you've killed someone with Phage, but I'd probably just keep it in the maybeboard.

Orcish Bowmasters - What are you playing, CEDH?

Opposition AgentGC - This is really more a meta suggestion than anything, but you don't verse people with a lot of tutors, you'd be lucky if people run more than one tutor. I'd cut this just from a meta perspective, or at least have it as a maybeboard card.

Doomsday Excruciator - Eh, nah.

Dimir House Guard - It's a sac outlet and a tutor in one, so I see what you're going with, which is why I'm only partially suggesting it as a cut, but also it's not the best at either job.

Chainer, Dementia Master - Not sure I'm feeling Chainer in this deck specifically.

Bloodletter of Aclazotz - Would be a lovely card for our cube, but I think there are already better finishers in this deck.

Asmodeus the Archfiend - Another maybe cut. It's a fun and spicy card, but also you're losing a lot of life for an effect which you do better with other cards in here. You really don't want to have too many cards that do similar things, especially since you've got many tutors and draw cards.

Cabal Stronghold - You've got three basic lands. There is no world in which you could activate this card and get a payoff from it.

Emergence Zone - Playing stuff at instant speed doesn't really help your deck.

Rogue's Passage - Zero use in this deck.

/

I also have addition suggestions:

Torment of Hailfire - Not sure why this isn't here.

Swamp - Add one Swamp for every land cut.

Hey, EchoSpice thank you! Greed was on the initial list but it feels a bit slow compared with some things I still have on the maybe list like Stinging Study or even K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth. But funny enough I have been taking a closer look at a few cards that feel too slow as is, like Kokusho, the Evening Star and one of my top two replacement choices is Gary himself.

On turn 2? Mana rocks, rituals, and tutors. Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Jeweled Lotus, Lion's Eye Diamond, Imperial Seal, Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Entomb + Reanimate if you want to try the reanimator route.

Obligatory disclaimer that I'm not a high-level EDH player, but K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth needs 4 mana minimum to cast, and you need to get Doomsday Excruciator into your hand without mulliganing to uselessness. It's going to take a lot of resources to get them out even semi-regularly.

Some of my favourite commanders are Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma, K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, Neheb, the Eternal and Chiss-Goria, Forge Tyrant. What do these have in common? They are monocolor and do big-mana things. I haven't found a mono-{W} or mono-{U} commander for me, so I'll try that.

Yrr, Master of the Tides {1}{U}{U}

Legendary Creature - Jellyfish Illusion

Hexproof, Islandwalk

When ~ enters the battlefield, until end of turn, whenever you tap an Island for mana, you add an additional {U}.

Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, you may return it to its owner's hand. If you do, you can't cast spells named ~ until end of turn.

3/3

Repeat.

DarkKiridon on monoblack commander building help!

Personally I don't think I can help you with the mono black space which is a shame because I've always wanted to make a K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth deck ( because my last name is Kirk), but not sure how I would start going about it. Don't think I'm "intelligent" enough to pilot one.

If you haven't yet, you can try Massacre Girl's EDHrec page.

Also came here to tell you that Griselbrand isn't legal in EDH/Commander (Unless you playgroup doesn't care about banned cards).

Commander boxes

My takes Show

Still not high on that modern-looking flavor, including the glitch ghost. Also, a huge nitpick, but I wish Valgavoth was a more abstract Horror like Umbris, Fear Manifest, I don't think MTG Demons are mysterious enough to be scary in a horror movie kind of way.

With that said, Innistrad is my favorite plane, so I'm quite high on the flavor otherwise. (That eyeball-mouth monster is fantastic.)

I kinda hope that there will be a one-shot comedic story featuring a very powerful character like Sorin entering the House and not being scared or hindered and all.

Impending took me a second to grok, I was worried it was just Suspend. It's fine, and in EDH I think not being a creature will frequently be advantageous. (Also, I think you can Impending-cast from the command zone.)

Did Glimmers really need to be their own creature type? Feels like they could be Lorwyn-esque Elementals or something. (Also, mono-black Glimmers like Enduring Tenacity is kinda hard to identify as that that color, what's with them all seemingly looking friendly in bright gold.)

Toby, Beastie Befriender: More optimal title: "Beastie Bestie"

Doomsday Excruciator: For K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, anything besides Breach the Multiverse that can mill/exile/group hug draw etc 6+ cards in mono-black?

Screaming Nemesis: For EDH this feels too mean againt lifegain decks; you can just have another opponent chumpblock this. Opportunistic creature removal too!

Cute baby Sorin  ^Flip combo utilizing extort and not just the -1 nuke: K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth to make extort free*, then Ancestral Statue + Mycosynth Golem to get extort triggers. Foods are artifacts so the Golem is slighly less than impossible to cast.

madmax32 on K'rrik "no (life)pay'n, no (life)gain" Demon Deck

11 months ago

Profet93 yes and also Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond

At the moment, I'd say the budget per card would be around 25$ and to be honest its more of a casual deck. So I haven't really thought about the meta

Currently I'm thinking about trying to lift the demon tribal restriction on the deck, to get more lifelink/lifegain cards so that I can pay more life with K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth. But I didn't have to heart to do it yet, because I just like demons too much xD
