Rhadamanthus on Saskia the Unyielding how does …

4 months ago

It depends on exactly how the creature dealing the damage gives its poison counters:

• The "Infect" ability (Glistener Elf) will give poison counters for any kind of damage, as will some older cards like Marsh Viper, so they will give extra poison from Saskia's ability
• The "Toxic" (Skrelv, Defector Mite) and "Poisonous" (Virulent Sliver) abilities only give poison counters for combat damage, specifically, but the extra damage dealt by Saskia's ability doesn't count as combat damage, so they won't give additional poison
• Some older cards like Crypt Cobra aren't damage-based at all for how they give poison, so they definitely don't do anything extra here.

SaberTech on non-black commander search advice

5 months ago

Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second is a good token commander for a budget. She can turn any type of token into a creature instead, and cards like Raise the Alarm or Hordeling Outburst feel a lot more impactful when they are spitting out 3/1s. If you have Requiem Angel on the board then every one of your cat or dog tokens replaces itself when it dies, which combos to give you infinite creatures to sac if you also happen to have a free sac outlet on the board.

Samut, Voice of Dissent is a few bucks to buy but I had a pretty good deck built around her in the past. Since she has so many keywords you run her with Odric, Lunarch Marshal to amplify the damage your creatures are dealing. Samut giving haste makes Etali, Primal Storm a much more viable inclusion. Her untap ability can let you ramp even more with creatures like Somberwald Sage, get extra protection out of Skrelv, Defector Mite, or let you drop a second creature onto the board with Oviya, Automech Artisan. She offers support for several different playstyles so if you get tired of playing the deck one way you can change it up to focus on a different angle of gameplay.

Recommended cards that aren't black but feel like they should/could be:

The One RingGC: This is black card draw.

Skrelv, Defector Mite: Mostly the phyrexian mana and artwork. Highly useful for the one shot kill.

Suspicious Bookcase: Some of the artwork on this card comes straight from Halloween.

Defiler of Faith: Life as a resource.

Shadowspear: Lore-wise it's a corrupted weapon from the underworld.

Basilisk Collar: Both keywords are common in black.

Blackblade Reforged: Literally a demon's sword.

Nettlecyst: Black token and phyrexian.

Tarrian's Soulcleaver: Graveyard synergy.

Bloodforged Battle-Axe: Mostly artwork/name/flavor.

Grafted Exoskeleton: Black themed downside. Infect in black's wheelhouse.

Bloodthirsty Blade: Blood as a cost.

Blade of the Bloodchief: Death as a benefit.

Quietus Spike: Multiple black creatures have this effect.

Hope that helps.

Skrelv's Hive, Skrelv, Defector Mite, Hand of the Praetors, Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, Triumph of the Hordes (last two are definitely not budget)

Hi everyone! I have been working on my new Skrelv, Defector Mite deck and I want to make it as competitive as humanly possible. Any recommendations for cards I should cut or add? Thanks so much!
