Rekt_Angles on [Zul Ashur] Death Is Not the End

I've goldfished it with the playtest, and I had a lot of "feast or famine" type games. I either comboed off super early and everyone would be weeping tears of agony, or I kinda faffed about for 5 turns trying to get off the ground.

I think adding some repeatable draw effects would be a good idea. NecropotenceGC is on the new GC list, but you only have 2 so far so you could slot that in pretty easily. Or you could use its little brother, Phyrexian Arena.

I also noted that the deck was vulnerable to effects like Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void. I'm not sure if/how the deck can overcome those, but I figured it would be something to consider.

Overall, though, I love the rotting dead and mono-black combos, so this deck makes me happy and gets a +1 from me!

bhst5019 on Will Hashaton, Scarab's Fist work …

2 months ago

So recently I started building Hashaton, Scarab's Fist as a commander, and then approached an interesting game, where a Leyline of the Void came into play under my opponents control. My question is will Hashaton's ability still work with Leyline in play?

Necramus on Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Zul Ashur)

Goldberserkerdragon Personally, Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver gets my money, if we're going Dimir. But, I wanted mono black. Counters and removal are fine, but like.. are you going to counter my Gravecrawler rather than something bigger or flashier? Also, the whole gimmick of the commander is to just replay the stuff from the graveyard. I could see Krenko being an issue for a deck like this, simply because it can likely keep pace. I think we're probably online before something like Grand Arbiter Augustin IV unless we're aggressively mulliganing to play him out t1 (my cEDH love was Grand Arbiter a few years ago when I was sweatier about the game).

Part of the strength of the deck is no one thinks mono black zombies are going to kill the table on t4. Ya know? Lol. The hardest thing I've found to deal with so far is Leyline of the Void and Rest in Peace style effects. It's difficult to get around replacement effects and, unfortunately, mono black's biggest weakness is targeted enchantment removal.

But yeah, it's been a blast so far!!

Balaam__ it's nice to see you posting a list like this! Seems like something I could potentially use. Very cool, middle-of-the-road kinda deck mechanically, but the idea behind it? Incredible. I agree with capwner that something like Seasoned Pyromancer would be extra useful for you. kamarupa makes a really great point that a few cards like Meltdown, Abrade (can't remember if that's the artifact one), etc. that one-off target an artifact. Some instant-speed removal pieces would help defend against your worst matchups with Leyline of the Void, Tormod's Crypt, and other grave-hating decks. Speeding up your process with cards like Flare of Cultivation might really make that an unexpected victory!

Companion really isn't working out for anything. Yorion, Sky Nomad and Lurrus of the Dream-Den welcome Jegantha, the Wellspring to the land of the Modern lost.

Reanimator's gotten a lot of new toys since Faithless Looting got banned, especially in MH2. I'd like to see it float back up the ranks a little bit. I suppose it would be too much for another Golgari Grave-Troll unban? That worked really well last time, right? I'm sure it'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen? There's a lot of options for graveyard hate right now, especially that Surgical Extraction, and Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void can still be viable when they're needed. Graveyard-omancy is so hard right now...

I'm interested to see Psychic Frog survive. Not super surprised, but I had it at an outside chance of being banned. It's very color-restricted, but it's been a good engine for several decks. I feel like it's right at the top line for Modern utility.

Polaris on Does Leyline of the Void …

Yes. As stated in the Oracle rulings for Leyline of the Void, "Tokens can still die while Leyline of the Void is on the battlefield." They aren't cards, so the Leyline's replacement effect will never apply.

6 Mana Teferi is a trap, as tempting as that ultimate is you're just never going to get it unless you're already in a winning position and the abilities are just not worth it. It's too much of a win-more card, if you want that ultimate so badly just replace it with Teferi's Talent. I'd recommend replacing it with Chandra, Legacy of Fire for its Planeswalker synergies. Similarly Ob Nixilis Reignited just draws you a card every turn with a basic kill ability and a meh ultimate, you can do better than that.

I'd say you want more Planeswalkers that protect themselves and your other walkers, It seems too easy right now for you to just crumble when you become the archenemy. Vronos, Masked Inquisitor, Saheeli, Sublime Artificer, Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast can all make chump blockers or protect your walkers in other ways. Lolth, Spider Queen likes the ammount of stuff that will be dying as you chump block and can make 2 blockers.

I'd cut Don't Make a Sound and Get Out for better counterspells. Counterspell is like a dollar, and Drown in the Loch can double as a kill spell if needed. Alternatively Ripples of Potential can block much more than a single spell threatening your walkers.

Leyline of the Void is unneeded unless you are really facing a lot of reanimator, It'll sit dead in your hand too often and it's unlikely to make you archenemy (More often you'll just piss off one player while the other two are neutral) like you want.

I'm surprised that you don't have any of the Oath cards in here. Oath of Liliana and Oath of Jace seem like they'd be great.

For creatures Jaya's Phoenix seems like a slam dunk. Saruman, the White Hand makes a pretty big creature when you cast planeswalkers, letting you trade with bigger things and immediately replace it.

builderboy7 on Does Leyline of the Void …

I've come across this rule recently but if I control Prossh, Skyraider of Kher *f-etch* and have created 6 Kobolds of Kher Keep with Blood Artist on the field, if another player casts Leyline of the Void, if I sacrificed my tokens after Leyline of the Void has resolved, I would still get the Blood Artist triggers because they're not cards?
