Malakir Rebirth

Instant

Choose target creature. You lose 2 life. Until end of turn, that creature gains "When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner's control." (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens cease to exist when they leave the battlefield and thus can't be returned.)

Similar to Bakterius's comment a few weeks ago, I'm no longer able to access the backside of dual-faced cards. For example, on this deck's summary page (Mister Negative), Malakir Rebirth no longer has a "flip" link to see its land backside.

ALostWanderer -
Saw your help tag so thought I'd reach out. As a disclaimer though: I've never played Tergrid (vs or myself) and I'm still working on my first Bracket 4 deck myself. So please take all this as "brainstorming", not as "recommendations" ! :-D

FIRST THOUGHTS: MANA BASE AND MANA CURVE

  • I love Salubrious Snail's manabase tool for analysing my lands, mana rocks, and rituals as I tweak a deck. If we plug your decklist in, it reports "your manabase is struggling, playing your spells 0.99 turns late on average" (with Tergid over 1.3 turns late). For Bracket 4, you'll probably want to aim for something like "... strong playing your spells [~0.2] turns late on average."
  • As you tweak the deck, I rec' taking an especially hard look at your 5-drops (which compete directly with Tergrid) and your 7-drops (which compete directly with her re-cast).

MORE B4 STAPLES? Some options to help find the cards we need and play them quickly …

MORE DISCARD EFFECTS, MAYBE?

MORE PROTECTION, MAYBE? If you find yourself needing just a touch more protection for your Bracket 4 meta: Cavern of Souls, Imp's Mischief, and oc Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots.

MORE COMBO PIECES, MAYBE?

  • As far as I can tell, you only have 2x combos in the deck (any lifegain effect + Exquisite Blood + either Sanguine Bond or Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose) ... increasing the combo potential (and Tutor effects, to find the pieces) is definitely solid approach to make the deck more competitive in Bracket 4.
  • The Find my Combos page over at Commander Spellbook is a great tool, if you want to lean into combos more.

MORE STAX EFFECTS, MAYBE?

  • It’s hard to go wrong with the namesake card (Smokestack) in a Stax deck :-)
  • If you wanted to lean into Mass Land Denial a little more, I like both Contamination and Desolation.

A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS:

  • You might consider adding Feed the Swarm and/or Withering Torment ... they're IMO the best tools we have to deal with enchantments in Mono-B.
  • Braids, Arisen Nightmare maybe? I play Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER and she's amazing there ... I don’t get that many sacs from her (so she may not be as good in your deck), but her card draw is always superb.
  • I'm a fan of Malakir Rebirth, as protection when I need it and a Land when I don't.
  • I don't see anything that benefits from Reliquary Tower ... it would honestly be my first drop.
  • It's a totally small thing, but if you don't already have very distinct deck sleeves, you might consider getting some ... the last time I played vs a steal-your-things Commander everyone at the table had blue matte sleeves, and sorting out the cards afterwards was a bit of a pain :-D

Anyways, I really hope something in there ^^ proves useful, and I’m very sorry for the spam if it doesn't!

Good luck (and good skill) with the deck!
Cheers!

Crow_Umbra on Szarel, Genesis Shepherd

I think you have a lot of the core pieces that a Lands Matter commander like Szarel would want, but I think you're running too few lands for the strategy. It's ultimately a personal taste thing, but I wouldn't recommend running under 35 lands unless your mana curve is closer to the average 2.5 cmc range.

I think you could probably swap a couple of mana dorks for a few more lands. You could also swap Hugs and Verduous Gearhulk out for some MDFC cards like Valakut Awakening  Flip & Malakir Rebirth  Flip to have some flex slots that can lands or spells.

I've been working on Szarel too, and I think getting those MDFC lands helps balance out the competition for spell slots vs lands.

You're def on the right track KBK7101, since God-Eternal Bontu was included in the stock precon list (along with Korvold, Fae-Cursed King and The Gitrog Monster).

Bontu is solid for sure. I've used it in a couple of Aristocrats decks before. I'll reconsider it as I play-test more, especially if I feel like I need another pseudo-evasive beater.

I want to put this deck together in paper, but am weighing my options on picking up the last 7 cards I don't currently own:

I'm considering which proxy service is fastest, or maybe picking up a couple of the cards listed here, and swapping the other slots for cards I already own in the next accordion block:

These are all prime candidates for swaps, until I figure out how and which of the others to pick up:

Other candidates for consideration:

You've probably already thought of Grave Pact. Cut No Mercy?

Conjurer's Closet and stuff like Malakir Rebirth  Flip if you want multiple emblems, but probably too gimmicky. There's even Sword of Hearth and Home since OWA flies

I'd suggest Binding the Old Gods instead of the Putrefy and maybe Stinging Study instead of Harmonize.

Also for your consideration: Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Dauthi Embrace, Cover of Darkness, Dragon Shadow, Dragon Fangs, Bow of Nylea, Saryth, the Viper's Fang, Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar, Familiar Ground, Farseek, Boar Umbra, Fully Grown, Gaea's Embrace, The Irencrag, and Malakir Rebirth  Flip
