Suggestions for general good stuff: Whip of Erebos, Bident of Thassa, Hammer of Purphoros, Academy Ruins, Drownyard Temple.
Depending on your budget, Volrath's Stronghold and Crucible of Worlds gets your discarded stuff back.

Arna's Kennundrüm: Counters Auraquipment?
1 year ago
Necramus I've been looking for a foil Academy Ruins locally (while secretly hoping for a reprint) with no luck so far. I want to complete the trifecta because I already own and run Volrath's Stronghold and the foil Hall of Heliod's Generosity you noticed.

Titania's Command and Lazotep Quarry are fun options.
Volrath's Stronghold is a good card, but expensive.
Bounce lands with Exploration effects mean you can generate lots of tokens per turn.
You have a lot of options in this deck, many of them extremely powerful. I suggest cutting the clue token stuff.
Grave Titan gives you additional zombies if you wanna go that route.
Edit: I just noticed many of my suggestions are already listed. Sorry about that!
Whip of Erebos is just an amazing card with tokens and self-mill.

Evil dead ☠️ (Ode to Sheoldred)

Thank you. I would try to focus on draw/drain and protecting and accelerating the combos. Potential cuts: Angel of suffering, grave pact, dictate as they protect only if you do something. The same for grim haruspex and morbid Opportunist. Praetors grasp has no synergy. Leaden myr is too slow without haste. Oversold Cemetery is conditionally slow. Doomed Necromancer and Phyrexian Reclamation could be ok as you tutor things into the graveyard, although I would go for Witch's Cottage and Volrath's Stronghold.
Potential inclusions could be Imp's Mischief for protection, cheap targeted removal and mana rocks like Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, Mana Crypt.
I look forward to seeing two new decklists ;) I think for now I am out of ideas but would be interesting to see how this turns out. The deck would be way out if my budget and for my playgroup Sheoldred is not a suitable commander but I really like her in the 99 for my Braids Arisen Nightmare deck. Hope this works and I really like the deck!

With Dauthi voidwalker and oppression there is also a small discard subtheme. This could work with the apocalypse although I do not like discarding my own cards if I am not in reanimate theme. I would cut scourge of nel toth because it is 6/6 flying for a high cost whichever way. And I would incl Cabal Coffers and stronghold as additional lands. Regarding good lands may I point out Volrath's Stronghold and Lake of the Dead.

You draw you lose

Some small recommendations I can think of:
- You have a lot of drawing for all parties, but your opponents will also be discarding (quite likely, especially given the Memory Jar). I therefore recommend Megrim, which actually is the reason Memory Jar became the first emergency ban in MTG history. You could also run things like Animate Dead, Reanimate, and Necromancy to take advantage of loading up your opponents' graveyards. Of course, Rise of the Dark Realms is a nice showstopper, though it's quite pricey...
- Archfiend of Despair is a delightful combination of Wound Reflection (already recommended) as well as stopping lifegain. I love using it wherever I can. (It's also a demon, so it synergizes with one of your alternate win cons.)
- You could also consider going more of a snow-covered route, so replacing your basic swamps with the snow-covered kind and going with Extraplanar Lens to amplify your black mana. Crypt Ghast also is another mana accelerator.
- The Meathook Massacre and Massacre Wurm are also "board wipe with benefits" that I highly recommend. I also almost always play Kokusho, the Evening Star in every black deck I run. Archfiend of Despair could also be another fun option for removing things and punishing your opponents.
- Some of your artifacts and tutors could be better. Rather than Wayfarer's Bauble, I could suggest Expedition Map instead. Grim Tutor, Planar Bridge, and Beseech the Queen could also make for fun tutoring.
- I'm not sure if Gemstone Caverns and Mox Diamond
are worth it here: sure, they're fast and get you more mana quickly (always a good thing), but the multicolored mana isn't so necessary. There are options I might prefer like Mox Amber, Mana Vault, Volrath's Stronghold... - For a mono-black deck, Contamination might be a great way to lose all friends. I highly recommend it.
