Undying Evil

Instant

Target creature gains undying until end of turn. (When it dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.)

you are very light on lands for having a 6 mana commander. I would say 38 minimum. I would cut your mana artifacts to make room. You will also want to prioritize jumping from 4 to 6 mana. Think about Explosive Vegetation, Market Festival, or Circuitous Route

With shelob being such a high cmc I would recommend some Undying Evil-style cards. Maybe Not Dead After All, or Undying Malice.

I'm a huge Nyx Weaver fan and it could be cool to have some graveyard synergies as well since you're in the perfect colors for it. Your card draw package is a bit weak and I'm worried about you running out of gas so I would add something like Moonlight Bargain or Harmonize with some Regrowth effects. I also love Arachnus Spinner and Arachnus Web as a removal pair, and Halana, Kessig Ranger is the creme de la creme of pissing off your opponents with everything having deathtouch.

I have been working on an Endrek Sahr deck myself. I haven't built it on paper yet because I have a feeling that it's gonna be hard to keep him alive, and without him the deck won't work. I'd advise running more protection for him. Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Undying Evil are all things I'll run if I decide to build him.

Fell Beast of Mordor is solid. Tar Fiend is back-breaking to one player.

This deck is super cool! I love the theme and I think one of the strongest thing this deck does is use Supernatural Stamina to bring back an evoked Walker of the Grove. As such it could be worth running 2-3 more copies of another Supernatural Stamina-esc effect like Undying Evil or Not Dead After All as well as running a full playset of the Walker of the Groves

I like playing Undying Evil type cards in my decks. Turns out that this one card just goes so good in my decks, that card is Henrika Domnathi  Flip double up on its effects with cards like Undying Evil or something better like Ratadrabik of Urborg

Ratadrabik of Urborg + Deadly Dispute + Henrika Domnathi  Flip + Undying Evil, chefs kiss

I've been keeping up on magic online playing brawl and that's because I don't have time raising to kids under 2 yrs old to leave the house for several hours to play magic. So what do I suggest?

I'm a mono black player at heart. And playing brawl has really shown me a wide range of cmdrs and its easy to build with every card at your disposal.

Sheoldred  Flip was the most fun for a newer mono black cmdr but your opponents might find it to be very oppressive as it's focus is getting cards to the graveyard by making players discard and mill. Meanwhile kill spells to put more creatures in the graveyard. Plus killing Sheoldred  Flip only allows you to recast her allowing you to kill another creature on etb. So spells that bring her back immediately like Undying Evil do work here.

For mono black historic brawl I like Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. Now I know how this isn't a card that you missed on your hiatus but maybe this is one worth looking into. Make a control shell and smash with kalitas. Have a few backup win cons.

Outside of mono black I like

That's what I got.

Profet93 Pact of the serpent is a no go for the life loss, could be catastrophic in a deck that doesn't have any sizeable blockers and no consistent life gain.

No coat of arms because I don't like helping my opponents and I don't need buffs for my rats. A 4/4 with toxic 1 is just as good as a 1/1 with toxic 1. I just need the rats to touch you.

Murderous rider is just not a fit for the deck. A non rat creature already puts a strike against it. It doesn't boost the rats combat effectiveness, or generate more land or creature tokens. When it dies, it misses out on the reanimator subtheme.

The temple would be a waste of a land slot. The deck has an extremely low mana curve and already generates more land than I have cards to spend it on. If nykthos or coffers pops, I don't need it to go again.

Malakir rebirth is an option, but if I wanted to do that I'd use Undying Evil because it's the same price and speed, buffs Karumonix, doesn't cost me life, and doesn't have him come back tapped.

Skullclamp is a pretty standard recommendation for almost every single deck for obvious reasons, and it would work just as well in this deck as every other deck it was put in.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hope the in depth response for each card helps you understand my convoluted decision process on what cards make it in my decks.

Icbrgr on Card Discussion: Grim Discovery

Recently I have Been inspired to brew/play 8-Rack in Modern specifically due to all the hype/buzz generated around Scam decks.

In my brewing/research I came across an old primer off of MTG Salvation and a card that caught my eye was Grim Discovery.

This really seems like a neat card but to my knowledge sees virtually no play... I did a quick search on MTG Top8 Modern and found one deck back in 2011 that used it in a Vampires deck.

Does anyone else think this card is worth revisiting as a niche tech choice for today? I remember after the Fury ban people placed bets on scam being a thing... could this maybe do to Subtlety what Undying Evil/similar does for Grief? Or perhaps at its worst just get the elemental/creature back in hand and or recycle a fetchland?... maybe some sort of application in a Yawgmoth, Thran Physician brew?

Grief is the best turn 1 scam by far, in a tempo deck where play patterns matter. Fury was good because it had a pretty open window for targeting, and Solitude is kind of in the same boat. Fury's advantage there was that it could clear out a mid-sized target or a swarm of small targets, while Solitude removes one target, take it or leave it. Subtlety is fine, but highly reactive and has a narrow window of utility. Endurance has higher deck building requirements to make its (optional) ability relevant--a flashed-in 4/5 reach creature for and a couple cards in hand is solid in a vacuum, but it's not on the same level as the other options.

I'm wondering if Esper Scam is a viable option. Lean harder into control, the and can be simply flash-evoked and sac'ed if needed (they're still free removal and pseudo-counterspells), and fill in with some of the go-to control cards. The color balancing would be a little harder to work with, but not impossible.

First pass, off the top of my head with minimal consideration:

23 lands

Scam set: 4x Grief, 2x Solitude, 2x Subtlety, 4x Not Dead After All, 1x Undying Evil, 4x Ephemerate

Control: 3x Teferi, Time Raveler, 3x Counterspell, 4x Thoughtseize, 4 Leyline Binding, 4x The One Ring

Finishers: 4x Orcish Bowmasters

Basically, take the Dimir and Orzhov Scam lists and add some of https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/wu-68d6e340-6601-4aab-9a70-4bdccc013e7e#paper.
