Phoenix-22 on Minthara Sacrifice Machine

1 day ago

It feels like the deck is trying to do too many things at once. Your average CMC also tends to be higher than is really necessary. Minthara wants to be an aristocrat, so I suggest going all in on the sacrifice theme while cutting down your higher CMC pump spells. Your curve is closer to 4 CMC. Try to get it as close to 2 as you can.

To that end, look at deck lists of the traditional Orzhov Aristrocrats. Any variant of Teysa, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim and the new Kambal, Profiteering Mayor. Also examine builds around Massacre Girl. They tend to be brutally elegant in how they exploit her forced sacrifice mechanic. I wouldn't recommend Massacre Girl for your build, though. She is hard to control in the 99.

With each card in your deck, ask a simple question: Does it take advantage of sacrificing my creatures either through mana, recursion or cards? If the answer is no, it's a safe cut.

Here are a few suggested additions: Slaughter Specialist. Bartolome del Presidio. Reassembling Skeleton. Rise of the Dread Marn. Yahenni, Undying Partisan. Bloodcrazed Paladin. Indebted Spirit. Bastion of Remembrance.

Such high praise with a funny joke from you? You're too kind!

We live and we learn, all experiences to help us grow.

Skullclamp - Draw?

Genesis Chamber - Token production?

Whats the wincon, or is it too premature to ask? Speaking of wincons, I'm gonna throw some combos at you and see which if any stick.

Ashnod Altar Combos

Add Ashnod's Altar to the below combos...

Reassembling Skeleton + Pitiless Plunderer

Scrap Trawler + Sculpting Steel + Foundry Inspector

Wurmcoil Engine + Nim Deathmantle

Myr Battlesphere + Nim Deathmantle

Imotekh the Stormlord + Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever

Imotekh the Stormlord + Nim Deathmantle

Imotekh the Stormlord + Junk Diver + Myr Retriever

And of course..... Grave Titan + Nim Deathmantle - This one is least likely given you are artifact central and zombies don't fit into that, but worth mentioning just in case.

A lot of the combo cards are synergistic with your deck so even if you choose not to combo with them, they can potentially still be of assistance.

Yay, darkness. Here are some thoughts that might synergize with your deck:

• With Sheoldred feeding off of card drawing, you might consider things that speed up card drawing. These can be double-edged swords, but Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, Teferi's Puzzle Box, Memory Jar, and the like might be worth considering. Reliquary Tower may also not be a bad idea.
• Rather than Infernal Darkness, why not Contamination? You can also get an engine with things like Bitterblossom, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Reassembling Skeleton (or other recurring creatures, e.g. Bloodghast) to make your opponents cry even more.
• Koskun Falls could also be another way to tax your opponents.
• You could also go with Wound Reflection to double up on the suffering. Things like Kokusho, the Evening Star and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician are must-plays in any deck I have with black, and considering Gray Merchant of Asphodel might also be worth your time.

fluffyeel on Braids, the Mastermind

Some thoughts that immediately come to mind:

• A way of getting even more creatures as Braids fodder is Bitterblossom. I highly recommend it. You may also consider rejiggering the land base to make Field of the Dead worthwhile: you have enough lands to make it work, but more options to make it more feasible may not be a bad idea. You could also use things like Reassembling Skeleton to feed Braids even more.
• I know a lot of people don't like tutors, but tutors here can be quite handy. Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Beseech the Queen, and Diabolic Intent are all possibly worthwhile. You could also consider some deck-thinning lands like Prismatic Vista and Fabled Passage.
• Mana-rock-wise, Mox Amber might be worthwhile.
• I vote Contamination for any mono-black deck. It's a great way to lose friends (which might be the point).

DreadKhan on Unparalleled Cognitive Dissonance

No Reassembling Skeleton? What about something like Sengir Autocrat, make a bunch of bodies to generate maximum triggers? Gixian Puppeteer seems like a good fit. I feel like Dreadhorde Invasion might be good with your Commander, as long as you sacrifice the token you get a fresh one on your upkeep, this is a relatively affordable alternative to Bitterblossom. If you like the Underworld Dreams effect, perhaps Fate Unraveler, though it's not exactly budget at this point and will surely go down in price if it sees reprint, so maybe keep an eye on it? I feel like your deck would benefit from anything that prevents life gain, stuff like Grima Wormtongue and/or Knight of Dusk's Shadow might keep opponents from running away from your damage/life loss effects, and Plague Drone actually punishes opponents for trying to gain life.

Profet93 fantastic, thanks so much! I'll let those suggestions ferment in my mind for a bit, my next cards shopping spree is coming up.

This goes to show you my ability to spot combos, I had that full Blood Artist + Reassembling Skeleton + Carnival of Souls + Ashnod's Altar combo in the deck! I took out Blood Artist because, as well as she fits in the way the deck plays, I wanted it to be more demon focused. The deck has always had some non-demons in there, maybe I should reconsider putting her in there. That's the case in all my tribal decks, I do my best to be strict about the tribe unless I can justify breaking it thematically (in my Rakdos the Defiler deck, there are devils and tieflings that serve the demons, so they're allowed).

Thanks again, your suggestions are really helping me out! I'll report back as I update the deck!

Sure thing! Bloodchief Ascension & Mindcrank create an infinite mill and damage cycle.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed & Triskelion create an infinite damage cycle where you remove counters from him to do 1 damage to a player & the rest to kill himself. Then he is returned to the battlefield and you repeat. This also works with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed & Walking Ballista, but he needs a third card like Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist to create the infinite cycle of damage/life gain. If you can’t get one of those two cards, Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos will create infinite sacrifice cycles. Then you could also create infinite Eldrazi tokens/treasures with either Pitiless Plunderer or Pawn of Ulamog.

Next is the Ashnods alter & Pitiless Plunderer combos with either Bloodsoaked Champion or Reassembling Skeleton that can infinitely sacrifice to create infinite colorless mana for cards like Exsanguinate.

Finally if you have Sensei's Divining Top, Bolas's Citadel, & Sheoldred, the Apocalypse you can draw a card with Sensei’s, gain 2 life, then pay 1 life to cast Sensei’s, and repeat until you can find a combo while gaining life with each draw.

Hope this helps!

Solid points all around. I still think opposition agent is a worthwhile inclusion but I respect your decision.

What is the purpose of Prismite and similar cards?

Infernal Darkness - Similar to contamination

Karn, the Great Creator - One sided null rod, excellent synergy with contamination and the above. It can also animate their artifacts to you destroy them.

Regarding your draw, perhaps a Skullclamp to go with all your death and 1/1 creatures?

At the risk of being not impactful enough, Reassembling Skeleton for continuous fodder and synergy with contamination?
