Tippycat on Umbris Reimagined

Thanks for the suggestions, dr.kronski ! I have had those thoughts as well :) I picked Planar Void for a very specific reason over Leyline of the Void or Dauthi Voidwalker. Mainly to take advantage of the fact that with Planar Void things still hit the graveyard. Leyline and Dauthi are replacement effects so cards never hit the graveyard so things like Undead Alchemist or Lazav, Dimir Mastermind wouldn't trigger. Lantern of the Lost and Relic of Progenitus are good but I picked Soul-Guide Lantern because I could activate it without extra mana (just tapping it). Lithoform Engine is something to consider!

Very creative and well-curated deck! I don’t really have any suggestions that you probably haven’t already considered or that would meaningfully improve the deck, but I’ll still leave a few that came to mind and might eventually make sense: Relic of Progenitus, Lantern of the Lost, Dauthi Voidwalker, Leyline of the Void, Lithoform Engine…

TheVectornaut on Fast Demons

I'm not sure what format this is intended for so I'm sorry if any of my suggestions aren't legal. Most decks aiming for big demons opt for reanimation over other turbo out options, but I think you can make it work for a casual deck. I like Quicksilver Amulet for instance and I think you could also consider Heartless Summoning, Ancient Cellarspawn, or Crypt Ghast. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx makes Coffers slightly worse but I can't imagine it being a bad inclusion with so many black pips. Another option would be to include more demons in the low mana range so that you have some board presence early. Some that came to mind are Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire for tutoring, Master of the Feast if you want to lean into a Underworld Dreams/Orcish BowmastersGC plan, Desecration Demon for stats and potential board denial, and Nightmare Shepherd for removal insulation. Really though, if you want more consistency, the best thing you can do is add more copies of your best cards. This does incentivize picking a clear direction and you don't want to consolidate too much here lest you get too low on unique names for Contract. If I was building this, I think I'd go to 4 copies of Spawn of Mayhem and 2-4 The Speed Demon with a focus on dealing damage or life loss to get their relevant triggers. Changeling Outcast is perfect for this so I'd up them too. Removal like Smallpox or the safer Geth's Verdict can incur life loss, and I do recommend upgrading from Sorin's Thirst and Cremate anyway. Fatal Push, Dismember, and Feed the Swarm are all options with varying strengths and weaknesses. That's just one direction too. You could just as easily build around foretell with Dream Devourer and some symmetry-breaking Damnations, Rite of Consumption effects with overstatted guys like Abyssal Persecutor, or pure devotion with Gray Merchant and Bloodletter alongside tools like The Meathook Massacre or Leyline of the Void. If you pick the handful of demons you enjoy playing the most and run more copies, you'll have more games actually playing with them and can save your tutors for emergencies more often.

Have you considered Font of Agonies? This will give you a way to benefit from paying life beyond just casting spells.

With so many spells with Graveyard interaction your strategy is vulnerable to graveyard hate. Can't do much about Bojuka Bog or Calamity's Wake, but Leyline of the Void and Rest in Peace can be taken out with Revoke Existence.

Also, I would recommend Taborax, Hope's Demise. With all the Clerics you are looking to sacrifice this could just as easily fill your hand and get you enough +1/+1 counters to allow the Lifelink to recover the lifeloss. In fact, I would recommend steadily replacing your non-Demon creatures with other Demons. This includes, but is not limited to, Blade of the Oni, Dream Devourer and Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire.

One other card you may want to consider is Mirror Entity. Not only will it count as a Demon for Liliana's Contract, but if someone hits your Shadowborn Apostles with a damage or -1/-1 boardwipe it's activated ability can save it.

I hope this helps, thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting.

eggforsail on Turn 0 win vs Chancellor of dross (100%)

2 months ago

burferking you make some really interesting points i really like vexing shusher but it’s so mana intensive and in order for the combo to work you can’t have more than 9 non ante cards in the deck. this deck also gets shut down by Leyline of the Void so i’m working on a control freeform deck with that and Leyline of Sanctity which shuts down Chancellor of the Dross i think there’s some interesting applications of Angel's Grace as well.

1º Update:

Some adjusts to mana curve in order to improve speed and board impact.

• Priority wincons are:

1- Doomsday Excruciator to destroy their hope;

2- Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void OR Helm of Obedience + Dauthi Voidwalker to obliterate their dreams;

3- Bloodletter of Aclazotz + Scourge of the Skyclaves OR Warlock Class + Scourge of the Skyclaves to consume their lives

RiotRunner789 on Modular Marchesa

Part of the goal is for the deck not to be too strong. However, goldfishing, I've noticed there isn't enough card draw.

Phyrexian Scriptures is purposefully slow.

Lim-Dul's Vault will prolly be cut for Plumb the Forbidden. Every goldfish game it's come up has been to dig for card draw.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker will probably be cut. It's an essential piece in my other Marchesa deck as combo piece. Here, it was just good with modular or creating something to sac.

Leyline of the Void is a meta choice. Not enough grave hate at the tables nor enough enchantment removal.

Phyrexian Arena is a pet card. It's consistent and not overpowered.

Chromatic Lantern could probably cut this but fine atm.

Solemn Simulacrum works well for ramp and draw. Isn't oppressive.

Teval's Judgment haven't played it but the options are nice. Going to give it a try.

I've been playing Marchesa for just over a decade. Hopefully it's not too presumptuous, but if I were to point out potential cuts...

Phyrexian Scriptures is definitely a potential cut. Not sure if you're prioritizing Marchesa becoming an artifact for modular or the boardwipe but it's slow.

Lim-Dul's Vault is a good card here but it's been outclassed over the years and can be obnoxiously slow to resolve. I personally avoided it as a courtesy even when it was really good here back in the day.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker feels out of place. I think I get what you're going for with modular but I still think he's on the chopping block.

Leyline of the Void is meta dependent. If you consistently see reanimate decks or other gy shenanigans keep it but otherwise you may eyeball this as a cut down the road.

Phyrexian Arena is severely outclassed in Marchesa by any of my suggestions in my not-so-humble opinion.

Chromatic Lantern. Your manabase looks like it should work fine and a 3 drop mana rock doesn't ramp out an early Marchesa.

Solemn Simulacrum. I've never went the modular route with Marchesa so him being an artifact may be more relevant than I'm giving credit for, but I've never been impressed.

Teval's Judgment is a card I've admittedly never played. It has definite potential here but I'm on the fence if the payoff is worth it.

Feel free to check out my list for more ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa to Love Them
