Hey theyounghansolo, I have a lot of experience playing K’rrik competitively and I have a few suggestions to help you improve your competitiveness:

ssteves1069 is spot on, Chainer, Dementia Master is crucial to this deck’s functionality. Since his ability is an activated ability, it bypasses Rule of Law and counterspells, which are this deck’s greatest weakness. To use Chainer, you need a proper sacrifice outlet like Dimir House Guard or Razaketh, the Foulblooded. Once you have Chainer, Guard/Razaketh, and Gray Merchant of Asphodel on the board, you’ve assembled an infinite combo and drain each opponent to death. You can also accomplish this with Buried Alive and Necrotic Ooze.

Final Parting targeting Reanimate in hand and Vilis, Broker of Blood in the grave usually wins you the game. Scheming Symmetry should never be run in a competitive setting since you are likely providing an opponent with a combo piece or counterspell.

Beacon of Unrest is too slow, I’d replace it with Shallow Grave. Recurring your artifacts is not critical to your strategy.

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse has the same functionality as Aetherflux Reservoir, but is a creature and can be reanimated. She pairs perfectly with Vilis. Plus Shelly and Peer into the Abyss either gains you lots of life or usually eliminates another player.

To be continued…

Dark Deal is worth testing, I believe. Thank you!

Need to test how often Rule of Law keeps the opponents hand full. Master of the Feast was already suggested. Flumph fills his spot better, in my opinion.

I uncluded Sheoldred, the Apocalypse as soon as it was previewed while brewing this deck, because it just "has" to fit, you'd think. I'll not go into detail why it didn't, it was very suprising to me, but perhaps it does now. It goes into Underworld Dreams's spot, if so.

zAzen7977 Im not sure you need so many anti storm cards with all of the Rule of Law Effects

Great points XinZhao, I agree that the board state required to set up Bloodthirster is too complex to be consistent, I’d rather run something else.

Thanks for the suggestion Last_Laugh, I hadn’t seen Spirit Mantle before. I wouldn’t run it in this build, but it could be really handy in a more aggro-heavy deck.

I’m experimenting with the current decklist. As compared to the old list, I’m running more creature-based ramp (Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Dockside Extortionist, Professional Face-Breaker, Ancient Copper Dragon), more anti-storm stax (Chancellor of the Annex, Liesa, Shroud of Dusk), and every Rule of Law effect (making it easier to stick the RoL + Possibility Storm combo). I swapped Council's Judgment for Angel of the Ruins, and dropped Damn and Teferi's Protection for a couple extra lands to ensure consistent mana access. I’m going to test this version for a while and see how it goes.

zAzen7977 For cuts i'd Recommend Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and possibly Magus of the Moon I cant see cutting other spells for Rule of Law Effects

zAzen7977 I would say Rule of Law effects are a good way to go, can't combo yourself so keeping others from comboing off is not a bad plan

Hey XinZhao, I’m in the process of making some major changes. I finally have some time to play around with the deck. I’ve been testing more Rule of Law-type effects for redundancy to deal with the prevalence of combo decks (especially storm decks), as well as more small creatures to sacrifice with Razaketh. The list will be fluctuating a lot over the next few days.

I was excited for Bloodthirster at first because it triggers upon combat damage to a player. But it doesn’t untap any other creatures, so the second combat phase is not helpful unless I can untap my other creatures somehow. Plus it doesn’t have haste, so it can’t even attack during the second combat phase. Disappointing.

Also, not sure how I missed Ancient Copper Dragon. Even if I roll low, the mana potential is crazy!
