Morbid Opportunist

Creature — Human Rogue

Whenever one or more other creatures die (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, tokens are put into the graveyard before ceasing to exist), draw a card. This ability triggers only once each turn.

Tome of Legends I will definitely try out, a good 2 mana colorless draw engine is hard to find.

Preston, the Vanisher does have a nice ETB doubler but Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines fills much a similar role. I still haven't figured out which card I can remove from the list, that's the hardest part lmao.

Kaya, Intangible Slayer has really nice abilities and you can use all 3 immediately. Planeswalkers work well in a deck full of board wipes and the card draw for 0 is really nice, the scry one for the opponents is political and not too advantageous.

I love Orzhov because of the 'Death and Taxes' theme. I go easy on the 'taxes' so that opponents worry about each other more than myself. The Gain and Drain is what I use to offset the life loss from artifacts and enchantments and card draw, I avoid increasing the cost of spells since I require fast mana to operate. The 'Death' aspect manifests itself in the form of board wipes and creatures meant to be played directly after a board wipe, most creatures I play offer a lot of value individually to control the board alone or in combination. I am a sucker for either Elesh Norn or cards like Ethereal Absolution.


I checked out your Obzedat deck, it looks like you have a lot of high synergy within your deck. I would recommend Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite because of the group buff/opponents debuff, playgroups tend to hate that card though.

Other card to think about would be:

Many of those came from my Karador deck, which has a similar creature ETB playstyle. I listed many with the hope at least one will be helpful. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees value in this commander still!

tkjanacek Sorry, half of my message went away. Here it is:

Maybe (if I run Nekusar) I can add to Mogis other stuff like Mayhem Devil, Morbid Opportunist, Sangromancer, Mishra, Tamer of Mak Fawa, etc, instead.

Thank you for your comments and for your card suggestions! :D

tkjanacek Yes, you are right about Street Wraith being only just a replacement. I should keep Theater of Horrors. I've added a Phyrexian Arena too.

I do like that wheeling theme you mentioned, I am considering building an spin-off of this deck running Nekusar, as you suggested hahaha

dunno if you will try to port this type of thing to modern, but for comparison, here are some comparative upgrades you could make

-Disfigure => Dismember (not a clean swap, may depend on your usage)

-Lightning Strike => Lightning Bolt

-Play with Fire => more Lightning Bolt?

-Searing Blaze?(how important is the scry)

-Morbid Opportunist => Grim Haruspex

-Seize the Storm => hard to replace 1:1, but it's expensive. maybe Dreadhorde Arcanist or Magmatic Channeler

also lands. i wont dive that deep here but ofc the land base standard => modern are quite different

@ thefiresoflurve - I do like the Grim Haruspex idea, I think I would try and find a slot for it that keeps Morbid Opportunist in the deck as Morbid doesn't care if it's your creature or not while Grim can trigger multiple times per turn. I don't have a lot of creatures I'm killing constantly on myside, but the benefit could be there.

I did have an issue with high tax the other day, Pitiless Plunderer could find a home very soon for some extra ramp.

Nice build! I really like the flavor in it. Wdyt of Grim Haruspex in place of Morbid Opportunist?

Also, March of the Machines here is clever; I love it. Pitiless Plunderer could possibly be a good combo substitute for your commander in the event taxes get too high to pay, plus some extra ramp outside the combo.
