whatstatorseh on Hey there demons.. It's me, ya boi

3 weeks ago

I would take the Bloodgift Demon out and possibly the Vampire Nighthawks. Archfiend of Depravity, Doom Whisperer, or Indulgent Tormentor would all probably be better than bloodgift. Consider Blood Beckoning and Persist as well to bring those big juicy demons back out for cheap. Sadly all black mana ramp is practically banned in modern but Cabal Coffers isn't if you wanna dish out the dough hahha. Really good tho! Got some good ideas for mine from this :) Thanks

New Version of the Deck Rocks Monoblack creature removal

Changed the Deck. tried to get it cheaper and more optimal. Some cards end up in the sideboard/maybeboard: For example the Dark Ritual end didnt make the final version. I actually dont like the desicion but it might be the best. Their mission was to help me to cast the Black Sun's Zenith ( i only put two of them, maybe its just very little, maybe there have to be 4 o 3 at least) and the Phyrexian Obliterator.i knew that i was going to add more lands to the deck ( i have 22 now, maybe 1 more?), also i add the Phyrexian Arena, and in addition to the Skeletal Scrying there are 5 cards that help me to draw, so i thought that will make the Rituals not that usefull. i may be wrong. I also add some cheap creatues like the Nantuko Shade, i perefer them instead of the Vampire Nighthawk and the Geralf's Messenger. Maybe the nantuko arent the best option, but they are cheaper and they can pump up. I still need to think about that. i added the Avatar of Woe because i always like it. But i have only one, it may never appear. Maybe another land or another Nantuko Shade would be better. i added Lashwrithe because of the number of swamps i was going to have. I love Unmake but i didnt put it, because i wanted to leave the deck as cheap as possible. added Tendrils of Corruption. so i have : 22 Lands, 5 cards that help me to Draw, 4 Discard, 18 removal, 14 creatures ( 3 of them are equipments too).

So whats the opinion now about the deck? any improvement?

Thx to everyon that read this :D

hi wallisface and ty for the advice. SO 23 lands, 14-17 killspells, 15-16 creatures and 8 discards. I will try that , i was looking for balance maybe that is the balance that i need. what do you think about Dark Ritual and drawing cards spells like Skeletal Scrying or Sign in Blood, there i have like 7 cards more and i will have to take from the deck some cards. About the creatures, i already tried to get some of those, but i could not found them where i live, sadly :(, both Murderous Rider and Dauthi Voidwalker seems to be excelent. i will have to use some of the creatures that i have, like Gatekeeper of Malakir, Vampire Nighthawk, Dread Shade. Maybe Wight of Precinct Six would be usefull ina creature killer deck. so do you think that cheaper creatures for 2 or 3 B mana will help me more to optimise the deck than creatures for 4 mana? thx alot for the answers :D

Welcome to the club, RockIV!

With a full playset of Phyrexian Obliterators, I'm going to assume you have good access to cards. The new Sheoldred, the Apocalypse feels like it could fit in well here.

Your land count is on the low side, I would add maybe three more. If you have the budget and want to get fancy, Cabal Coffers would be a good addition. Otherwise, basic Swamps work perfectly well.

Feed the Swarm is another removal option that extends your reach to enchantments.

On the maybeboard, Vampire Nighthawk got an upgrade in Nighthawk Scavenger.

I can offer more thoughts, but I'd like to know what kind of decks you regularly go up against.

hi all, im RockIV and im new in the forum. i recently returned into magic again. Im in need of some advice with my control/removal deck

Rocks Monoblack creature removal

my review : in the past i use to play with more creatures like Vampire Nighthawk, Gatekeeper of Malakir and Geralf's Messenger. Recently i changed it to be more removal oriented, and i tried a lot of diferent combinations, for example with Drain Life. what i am looking is a more optimal build for the deck with both creatures an enought removal to combat any deck. The problem is that i feel that i cant have both, I will need to choose creatures or removal. in another note, There are some creatures that i didnt add to the deck and always felt that would be great like Bonehoard and Wight of Precinct Six. so what do you guys think ? any advice will be deeply apreciated , thx to everyone for reading :D

multimedia on Liesa, Liesa, they so flying...

In you're last update you said that opponent's Prosper deck keeps beating you. What cards or interactions from that deck are giving you problems?

I thought you were playing multiplayer Commander, that's the advice I gave, my mistake, but if you're playing 1v1 Commander then that's very different than multiplayer. In 1v1 Commander cards that give you value because you have many opponents are subpar such as Soul Warden, when you only have one opponent. Aggro is an aggressive strategy that's terrible in multiplayer Commander, but 1v1 is viable strategy. Since only have one opponent to kill, who starts with 40 life, not four or more opponents who start with 40 life. For example, I wouldn't play Gifted Aetherborn or Vampire Nighthawk in multiplayer Commander, but in 1v1 they're fine and also go with the life gain for value strategy.

If you're playing 1v1 Commander with this deck, would you like some advice how to improve for 1v1?

VampRamped on Edgar Markov's Eminence of the Blood

2 months ago

Cool nice to see you had a list on tapped out for Edgar Markov you had mentioned you had an Edgar Markov deck in the comments of my deck.

I think this is a very well-constructed mid-range Edgar Markov list and would like to only offer a few card suggestions for your consideration for the deck.

Vampire Nocturnus in my experience is the most powerful vampire lord giving your whole team massive power boost and evasion as well as itself. In addition you already have an excellent mana base to accomadate the card in your deck, and Vampire Nocturnus synergizes well with Viscera Seer, Sensei's Divining Top, and Fetch Lands.

Nighthawk Scavenger is strictly better than Vampire Nighthawk which you play in this deck even in the early game if an opponent cracks a fetch land it is at least as good but with way more upside.

Living Death is an absolutely amazing card and one of the best cards in my own Edgar Markov list, I will not go into all the details here but I have an entire section under my powerful cards and synergies dedicated to this card.

Knight of the Ebon Legion and Falkenrath Pit Fighter, are just higher quality one drops than cards like Pulse Tracker, and Vampire of the Dire Moon.

I will also echo an earlier comment by Sandwitcher and say definitely include Olivia's Wrath it is a fantastic board wipe.

Also you have all the combo pieces already so just slot in Mana Echoes, and funnily enough you could actually cast Ulamog with it in some of your games.

Cards that I would recommend you consider removing: Diabolic Tutor there is not any card worth spending 4 mana to have in your hand, and if there is a spell worth spending 4 mana to find then it will likely not resolve.

Sorin Markov while OG Sorin is pretty cool he is likely not worth playing. The deck is already very efficient at killing people and if you have the 6 mana and the confidence to cast Sorin then you might as well play Edgar Markov instead.

Bloodcrazed Paladin I see many people that do play this in their deck but it is just not worth it. This card is at its best when the board just got wiped so it comes in as a big creature but at that point, you might as well just play Boros Charm and save your board instead of getting a derpy vampire. Also playing this card on curve is also bad so just all around would not recommend playing.
