Ophiomancer, Reassembling Skeleton, and Haunted Dead complement Contamination.

Infernal Darkness is an additional Contamination effect.

SufferFromEDHD I do not think I did. I always used Reassembling Skeleton. I like how it isn't as restricted and lower cmc. The activation cost can be annoying at times for sure, but it has a small synergy with spreading plague.

legendofa on What Commander/cards Should I Use?

To make sure I understand what you're looking for, it's sort of a reanimator/sacrifice hybrid? Discard big creatures, bring them back, and then sacrifice them again so they can be reanimated again?

There aren't too many cards that let you repeatedly bring big creatures from the graveyard to the battlefield, and Sheoldred, Whispering One is one of the best. If you haven't looked in this direction already, I suggest filling out your deck with smaller, self-recursive creatures like Reassembling Skeleton, Gravecrawler, Bloodghast, Forsaken Miner, Bloodsoaked Champion, or Nether Traitor.

Some other possible commanders are Whisper, Blood Liturgist (if you can protect her for a turn), Drana, the Last Bloodchief (reanimates nonlegendaries only), and Moira, Urborg Haunt (good for immediate sac + reanimate). I would use the commander slot for the big reanimator effect so you can access it reliably.

I cannot stress enough the importance of cards like Gravecrawler, Tenacious Dead, Reassembling Skeleton, and Persistent Specimen for any Savra deck. If you pair those with any sacrifice outlet that costs little to no mana, you have complete control of the board state. No other players can have any creatures without checking with you first.

Phoenix-22 on Minthara Sacrifice Machine

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).
