Akroma, Angel of 21
2 weeks ago
Thanks for the suggestions SufferFromEDHD!
I'm mono red player at heart, though I played lots for deck variety over the years. Red Akroma is truly a bomb once she goes off. Now regarding with your suggestions:
Gamble - I'm actually considering this, but I only have one copy and its on my Jund Coram Deck.
Lotus Field / Lotus Vale - yup seriously considering it as a replacement for Gilded Lotus.
Arena of Glory - I'll probably get this over Flamekin Village
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx / Nyx Lotus - probably no since as you have said, I don't have many permanents with in the deck.

Akroma, Angel of 21

= gg
I have been staring at this in my collection for years and have never thought of color shifted Akroma as the voltron bomb she rightfully is. This is A+ jank!
Gamble always useful
Lotus Field/Lotus Vale "free" Gilded Lotus
Arena of Glory and/or Flamekin Village possibly maybe
Nyx Lotus and/or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx I'm not sure you are running enough permanents but the fire breathing synergy seems too good to pass up

Archelos, Landfall / Emergent Ultimatum
1 month ago
I too enjoy OG land tech. You have Yavimaya and Urborg for that though along with Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.
Glacierwood Siege an additional "Worlds" effect
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx > Bloom Tender
If you go the Nykthos route Minamo, School at Water's Edge plus the easy Archelos activation.
I see Green Sun's Zenith and a juicy Vorinclex target. Would Dryad Arbor + Natural Order be useful here?
In my land based strategies I always try to squeeze in Unwind + Rewind for the value.
P.S. Squandered Resources is the greatest card in the entire card pool. Always enjoy seeing it in a deck.

The Big Black Succ

Hey SniperFrog (cool name)! Nice insight and recs! I do try my best with keeping up with sets, I'm aware of them all at least. But it's hard doing that when you're building a deck from the last set and a new set drops and who has time for all these sets?... Anyway, I believe I just pulled a polluted cistern last night at my LGS, so that's funny. May have to add upon further review! The hound is legit, need to scoop. Not sure what could be swapped atm.
However, as I have built and rebuilt and tweaked and tuned Konrad more times than I can count over the past 5/6 years, he's always wanted to do what he's doing now I feel. A lot of people use the "good cards" in reference to Pitiless or Gravecrawler combos and Cabal and Bloodchief, but I always found those too "precious" or fragile if you will while ALSO having a gattling gun, Konrad, chillin' abroad. Konrad is generally seen as a threat, not a kill on sight, but near it. So any piece i can put in where it's almost an insurance policy is really good for Konrad. Going to block and kill my creatures? Good. Going to take the damage? Good. Going to board wipe with Konrad on the field? Good. Going to phase him/exile him/shuffle him? Good... respond with milling, respond with sacrifice, respond with a vamp tutor and grab Kozilek and mill everyone and return all ours back, etc., etc.
To answer the Cabal question--eff that card. A land that doesn't tap for mana?!?!? Get out of here. And we need TWO mana to get mana out of it?? AND we have to have more swamps than we already have bc CABAL IS ALWAYS IN HAND EARLY GAME. Not to mention, you have to almost always pair it with Urborg and it's just meh. You want mana in a mono colored deck? Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
plakjekaas on How Can Mono-Colored Cards be …

The problem with printing cards that are rewards for monocolor decks, is that they're either just not good enough, like Slaying Fire or instant expensive staples, like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Because if the effect is good enough, the two-color decks will consider playing it too, think Cabal Coffers+Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Monocolor decks make the sacrifice of devoting to that color, and accepting its weaknesses. The best way to combat those weaknesses, is to add a color. The payoff is the manabase consistency, and leveraging the strength of the color you picked. There's a few Caged Sun or Throne of Eldraine-type cards that possibly could slot in every monocolor deck. But the fun of building a monocolor deck (I'm talking commander here) is to deepen out your limited cardpool to get the job done in a way most multicolor decks won't expect because it uses cards you normally wouldn't see in multicolor decks.
To get back on topic, in the OPs examples, if the monocolored option for similar effect is actually better, it's probably printed more recently and therefor more powerful. That's the case with Psychic Strike vs Thought Collapse and for as similar as they are (differences were already pointed out) for Merciless Eviction and Farewell. Final Judgment in its turn is older than that, and therefor more limited in application than Merciless Eviction, which is the newer card out of the two.
Aurelia's Fury vs Rolling Thunder is a bad comparison. The silence- and tap effects make the card a lot more versatile. With Aurelia's Fury you could ping a player to stop them from comboing, tap down three blockers to swing in for lethal, where Rolling Thunder only offers straight up removal or burn to the face, which Fury can do as well. Still, Rolling Thunder was printed in 1997 where Aurelia's Fury was printed in 2015.
What OP's describing is powercreep, and it's not restricted by colors.

Obby’s Mono Black Landstorm

Profet93 is constantly suggesting this card in my decks and I think it would be appropriate here: Buried Ruin. Excellent alongside Crucible. Recycles the ramp this deck depends on.
Urza's Saga you have some juicy targets.
Amulet of Vigor speaking of juice, this solves a major problem for the land strategy.
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx > Nyx Lotus

What kind of suggestions are you looking for? Any budget in mind?
I'm unsure if you have any basics to warrant cabal stronghold. You need 4 basics to break even, 5 to ramp a little. Rather than run it in a deck whose commander is , have you considered swapping it for another utility land? Something like Deserted Temple can be used to untap your coffers (or untap opposing land for political tool) or even a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx which seems perfect here. Thespian's Stage is another potential consideration to copy coffer or opposing utility lands.
Mind Stone > Felwar
How do you deal with artifacts and enchantments? Feed the Swarm is a versatile tool which can deal with the latter.
How is mox amber treating you? You only have about 6 legendaries.

Uril, the Miststalker Destroys Everything
4 months ago
Jared took down the final game of the evening with his Elfballing Abomination of Llanowar. Uril, the Mist Stalker got to be 18 power; Bear Umbra got him through a boardwipe but Eldrazi Monument proved to be too much. Jared's made me a believer in Elvish Guidance. He only had three lands most of the game, albeit one was Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
