Peer into the Abyss

Sorcery

Target player draws cards equal to half the number of cards in their library and loses half their life. Round up each time.

If you want a big one time discount maybe Price of Progress? Obviously you'd need to run it with lots of non-Basics yourself, but as an added upside it's a single spell that can end games for only 1R. If you have some evasive attackers like Dauthi Voidwalker you can try Hatred, this can kill a problem player and net an epic discount (so you can win via an X spell).

Technically you could try stuff like Ad Nauseam and Peer into the Abyss to both lose a ton of life and draw a ton of cards right away, so you can maximize the ability. I could be wrong, but I feel like most 'life for cards' stuff is good with Rowan, so if Naus or Peer is too good maybe Parker Luck or Keen Duelist type stuff will give a more relevant discount?

capwner on Competitive card Draw in Mono …

Phyrexian Arena and Greed are classic card draw, Insatiable Avarice is decent and I am a big fan of Increasing Ambition though it is a little slower. Peer into the Abyss also slower but basically ad naus #2...these effects are typically paired with a lot of fast mana like Chrome Mox Lotus Petal Mox Opal etc. which are cheap and explosive after casting Ad Nauseam <-- this card usually takes some build around. IDK if that's better here vs. Skullclamp which provides repeatable card draw for cheap. If you have a lot of life loss effects, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is a good hedge which fits your beatdown strat and hates on opposing card draw. Maybe also Phyrexian Altar and Ashnod's Altar to juice those rat tokens.

legendofa Love the reccommendations. me personally, I only own Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Cultivator Colossus, Peer into the Abyss, Progenitus, A Realm Reborn, and Chromatic Lantern. I will be buying the rest of the cards whenever I'm able to, and as long as the cards aren't too expensive (ahemmm Rhystic Study) then I would definitely add them in. also I think just adding in first of Suns and still keeping in the Jodah, Archmage Eternal might be good but I use Morophon, the Boundless as the commander so I have a 2 in 50 chance to get the dinos to be free. later today I'm going to get the name of all the bi-tri lands that I have and find out what ones of those are better for the mana base

Exit777 on Please, let me touch YOU - Phage

Touching people is fun! :)

Als Vorschläge hätte ich vor allem das Deck ein bisschen "schlanker" zu machen. Avatar of Woe und Choice of Damnations aber im Regelfall echt weit weg. Peer into the Abyss kann zwar entweder jemand rausnehmen oder dir viele Karten ziehen aber hat das gleiche Problem wie Phage dass man erstmal dahin kommen muss. SElbes gilt für Profane Transfusion.

Und dann fehlt vielleicht natürlich Stunning Reversal, Nachteil ist dass es dich auf 1 setzt statt wie Lich's Mirror auf 20. Ich würde vielleicht die beiden trotzdem tauschen, weil Stunning Reversal als instant auch noch gut mit Lich's Mastery harmoniert, kauft dir also auf gewisse Art 2 nicht-sterben-Effekte für 1. Das Problem der geringen Lebenspunkte könntest du vielleicht eher mit Deathtouchern angehen, die auch Lifelink haben - Vampire Nighthawk, Qarsi Revenant, NIghthawk Scavenger. Die eignen sich dann auch gut um als backup wincon z.B. ein Vorpal Sword zu tragen, falls Phage aus irgendeinem Grund nicht mehr zum Zug kommt.

Decree of Pain und In Garruk's Wake würd ich auch durch was billigeres ersetzen, bspw. Extinction Event, einfach um besser ins late game zu kommen.

Marvo is my favorite commander because it's coming out STRONG from nowhere and is not a META Cedh. I love using mechanic that aren't too popular or cause my opponents to be surprised.

I thought about the signet and talisman, and I am still thinking of it. Didn't put them in my version 2 coming, but i might need to unless i add enough double-sided.

I don't want to add too many cantrips since the version 2 will mostly focus on getting Peer into the Abyss from any tutor and cast it for free with Marvo's clash ability. Once i have half my deck in my hand, I can cast any card that gives me no maximum hand size. If i don't win that turn or next one with half my deck in hand... I'll take the loss like a champ

Bookrook on Top ten most toxic commanders.

1 year ago

These are, in my opinion, the top ten most toxic commanders to play against. The ones where you get teamed up on more than the guy with the turn one sol ring.

Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. Infect infect infect infect. Also gets toxic points for being an infect commander.

Koma, Cosmos Serpent.

If they have any kind of token doubler or nonlegendary cloner, you might as well skip your untap step. Once my friend had an Essix, Fractal Bloom out with a Mirror Box.

Numot the Devestator Land destruction. Need I say more?

Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip.

Nobody cares about the lantern. Everybody cares about their creatures going up for adoption.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Goes infinite with a ham sandwich. Pray WOTC never makes a blue version of it.

The Beamtown Bullies I’m guilty of playing with this deck. Who new there were so many cards with very big downsides. *cough cough Leveler

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Do you want people to play with you?

Maha, Its Feathers Night

Kaervek, the Spiteful, Night of Souls' Betrayal, and the million other cards that give all creatures -1/-1 until end of turn exist.

All the Phyrexian praetors (but mostly Sheoldred, the Apocalypse)

Card draw is good in commander. Sheoldred deals damage to your opponents when they draw cards. Plus,Peer into the Abyss either instakills an opponent or gives you 30 life and 40 cards.

Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Just like sheoldred, but you get access to red for wheels and handsize burn spells, and blue for being blue.

*honarable mention to The Infamous Cruelclaw decks that play 99 lands and Worldfire.

TheForsakenOne Thank you.

I removed Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath and Gonti's Machinations, and added back in Peer into the Abyss, good suggestions. Made a fair amount of changes as well, mostly to help ramp mana and lands.
