Obosh, the Preypiercer
Legendary Creature — Hellion Horror
Companion — Your starting deck must contain only cards with odd mana values and land cards. (You may reveal this card from outside the game before you start and declare it as your companion. If you do, your deck must follow the companion's restrictions. You may pay to put this companion from your sideboard to your hand at any time you could cast a sorcery. This action can't be interacted with or countered. You may only choose one companion for your deck before the start of each round.)
If a source you control with an odd mana value would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.

Double Vision is a way to copy your X cost spells. Mica, Reader of Ruins could also help if you have worked in ways to produce treasure tokens or other artifacts.
Firesong and Sunspeaker and Heartflame Duelist can give your burn spells lifelink to help buy you more time to build up for a strong knockout punch. Jaya's Immolating Inferno gives you the best mana to damage ratio out of your X cost burn options. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and cards with the same effect turn lifegain into more ways to drain opponents' life totals.
And if you are already using cards like Spirit Loop to turn creature damage into life, Heartless Hidetsugu is an efficient way to drop opponents' life totals down quickly so that they are in range of being taken out with burn spells. Obosh, the Preypiercer can double the damage that Heartless Hidetsugu, Evershrike, or any of your X cost burn spells that come to an odd mana cost end up dealing.
(NOTE: Ideally you should be giving Heartless Hidetsugu lifelink, not just an effect that triggers after dealing damage like Spirit Loop does, if you are using damage doubling effects. Lifelink means that Heartless Hidetsugu will gain you life at the same time that damage is dealt so that you don't potentially knock yourself out as well.)

Everything Obosh, the Preypiercer... Companions CAN be a fun build around. Companions like Obosh really get my juices flowing. Only odd, only all the time. Obosh Mono-Red??? Yawn... I am talking about Obosh in every color combination. Rakdos Obosh is my favorite but I've got Oboshes that no one has ever thought of...
Reasons to play Obosh: 1. Companions are busted... 8th card? Yes, please. 2. For fun... test opponents' knowledge of what cards are odd. (Did you know Soul Spike is 7 mana) 3. Immune to Spell Snare. (Never saw an opponent snap off spell snare on stomp so fast in all my life... lol) 4. Need something to do with 3 mana? Obosh has got you. 5. Maybe his text is relevant. Might get into combat... you don't know. 6. Doesn't get bounced by a flipped Thing in the Ice Flip.

Very cool deck. Always wanted to build around Obosh, the Preypiercer!

According to this page, Zalgadib was offered a deal in which he could eat Ramses, should Ramses' reign end. That never came to be.
Efreet tend to be mono-red, or Izzet in nature. But given the context, I'm going Rakdos.
Zalgadib, The Insatiable
Legendary Creature - Efreet
Devour 2
As you cast Zalgadib, The Insatiable, you may sacrifice another commander you control. If you do, add mana in any combination of their colors equal to their mana value. You don't lose this mana until the beginning of your next upkeep.
Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)
3/2
Yes I am well aware he doesn't really "do anything", but his lore is bare bones. Not much to really focus on, without reading an entire story in a single sitting.
And yes, I am also aware of Thromok the Insatiable having a similar name and design concept. But again, bare bones on the lore, so I wanted to name him something that pinned it down well.
Sorry if that felt cheesed. Really did try a good design for him. But hey, floating free mana of any color(s) for a full rotation of the table though, that's pretty slick isn't it?? :D
I think the Partner is where he really shines well, though. I purposely made him an odd mana source so Obosh, the Preypiercer can see him, giving you access to three Commanders.
Okay that's enough belly aching.
Make a legendary snow land for Christmas :3 (Or Hanukkah!)

Ooh yeah I forgot about him. He partners well with Obosh, the Preypiercer. If my math is correct, Lightning Bolt would be doubled to 6, with Tor dealing an additional 1. Since he is also odd, that 1 is doubled to 2. So now you are at 8 total damage.
But, Tor also deals 2 for the instant, which is doubled to 4.
So resolving a Lightning Bolt is going to cause a total of 12 damage, all in when the dust settles.
(As for Yarlok, that was never meant to be involved with infect; Just a "weird" one to add to the list.)

Update!
Out: Cabal Coffers
In: Swamp
Two notes: One, Cabal Coffers doesn't work well in this deck due to how I have my mana base set up - so its out. Two, Descent into Avernus with Obosh, the Preypiercer out is egregiously fun. I had it deal 24 damage on upkeep at one point! I love how this deck is evolving, and my playgroup actually doesn't hate it! Haha.
Icbrgr on Zoo: Is Obosh, the Preypiercer …

Is Obosh, the Preypiercer worth it/viable in Drop focused Zoo Decks?
Been looking through my old decks and found the core to my zoo deck and was looking to see how I could make it more Up-to-Date now that things like Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Collector Ouphe exist now.
Obosh, the Preypiercer caught my attention for seemingly HUGE payoff but im wondering if it is actually castable in Zoo... I dont have a whole lot of expirience with running or even interacting with companions... but paying to get it into hand then paying the nesessary doenst seem reachable. I know things like Utopia Sprawl and Arbor Elf can help but I have concerns that it would hurt more than help the hyper=agressive strategy.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter?
