The Reunion At Last - Sephiroth V1
4 months ago
Love the list. +1
Have you considered things like Reanimate and Unearth as ways to reset Ol' Sep-Daddy?
Also, cards like Marionette Apprentice, Reassembling Skeleton, Weaponcraft Enthusiast and Chthonian Nightmare have felt really good in playtesting for me so far.
Decks like this are my favorite. Sephiroth seems like he could be the best option for mono black in the architype, which has me very excited.

Always nice to see another Yawgmoth user. I personally prefer Funeral Room / Awakening Hall due to the mass reanimate it can provide in the late game.
Regarding reanimation spells, I feel Victimize is a must have since it's amazing value in a deck like this. Chthonian Nightmare can also recur many of your creatures every turn.
I'm curious why you're not using any of the cheap reanimation enchantments like Animate Dead and Necromancy. I get your reasoning in using the instant revives for protection, but I like the option of being able to revive things on my own timing.
Spymaster's Vault gets you some great card selection potential with enough sacrifices.
Some favorite sac fodder providers I enjoy are Weaponcraft Enthusiast, Chittering Witch, and Sengir Autocrat. Like the Wriggling Grub, they provide the most bang for your buck.
Since you're running Vindictive Vampire, Phyresis might be a nice tech to include for her as a way of getting around either massive life totals or not having your undying combo out.
Lethal Scheme is another option for planeswalker removal, letting you squeeze a bit extra use out of your creatures and giving you extra card selection.
Not a suggestion, but I think it's fair to classify Nest of Scarabs as a boardwipe lol.

Blood Bending - Awaken the Avatar
1 year ago
Nice deck! I started brewing AtBA almost immediately after seeing it spoiled and have been working on the deck making improvements/changes over time, and it is easily my favourite deck at the moment. One thing that I do differently with mine is focus more on low cost creatures that make tokens on ETB, things like Weaponcraft Enthusiast & Sengir Autocrat ideally as they make 2-3 tokens to get that first or second Blood Avatar cast, You're Confronted by Robbers is great also because it's an instant, Waylay is the cheapest way to make 3 tokens on your turn. Because of this I also run all the good reanimator spells, and since that includes Animate Dead I also run Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, which on it's own is also good, especially if you run a lot of mana rocks. I chose not to run Worldgorger Dragon for the infinite mana combo as it isn't good on its own, where Abdel Adrian is. Since you run Fury Storm I would consider running Storm-Kiln Artist for the combo potential, as he is also good for ramping off of instants/sorceries and synergizes with the toke doublers (get Mondrak out of the sideboard and into the 99). It also combos with Chain of Smog for infinite mana if you're into that (I'm not). Academy Rector is awesome for cheating in Anointed Procession if you're about to make tokens or City on Fire if you already have Blood Avatar(s). Roaming Throne from Lost Caverns of Ixilan is also good for the same reasons Isshin is, but it has Ward 2 and is colourless. I also run most of the lower cost extra combat cards to try to maximize the attack triggers, Goblin Goliath has been an (expensive) all-star. Any planeswalker with + ability that make tokens are also great.
There are so many different things you could focus on with this deck I find it hard just to narrow it down to the gameplan you're after, which is one of the things I love about it. The one thing my deck is lacking now is Lifelink, I'm looking at Teysa Karlov because vigilance is great too, but I don't focus too much on death triggers, so Whip of Erebos may take the spot.
Excited to see future updates on this! Will post my decklist eventually and link it here, interested to see your comments.

Mardu Tokens

I always gravitate towards aristocrats when discussing token strategies in competitive magic. You already have Westvale Abbey
Flip which is one of my favorite wincons and lends itself towards an aristocrat-style gameplan. Falkenrath Aristocrat / Butcher of the Horde are great token payoffs, however the format might be just too fast for them at the moment.
But some advice I would say for your current decklist is that it's just too slow. The Modern format is very fast and most decks snowball too much for you to be playing cards like Battle Screech and Lingering Souls. I do like the Ephemeriate + Solitude + Season Pyromancer package. However your other creatures aren't too relevant for what you're trying to accomplish. I would rather see a couple Intangible Virtue instead of the Serra's (which, by the way, you really shouldn't play all 4 copies of that card. It can make your draws awkward and isn't so detrimental to your deck working that it makes up for the drawback). I love the idea though. Honestly, I think the Ephemorate package I was talking about before could be your linchpin for the deck. Maybe find some other strong ETB effects that revolve around tokens ( Weaponcraft Enthusiast )? Or maybe a Plaguecrafter effect? Those might be too cute, but it's something to consider. Either way, good luck with your Deck it looks fun!

Modern Doran Company

theres an evil voice in your head whispering "mess with your manabase...play Aegis Turtle"
but on a serious note playing 4 doran always felt poopy with coco, i think with all your harbingers and assault formations you can cut one or two for some more fun coco hits.
i dunno, youll figure it out but 26 creature hits is pretty low

Tayam's Fun and Interactive Combos!
4 years ago
Hey BransBranflakes, I like the list! Thanks for the inspiration.
I play Tayam in the 98 with Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Reyhan, Last of the Abzan at the helm. But Tayam is so synergistic in there that i want to put him into the spotlight with his own deck.
But the further i read on Tayam, the more bland he becomes with the same infinite combos between Ashnod's Altar and various creatures you noted (and Weaponcraft Enthusiast ). What is your experience on the diversity of Tayam and people who play against it? Is it the same song and dance with this commander every game, or can you win on different matters?
The ability got me with so many ideas.. I mean its nothing like Karador! First I was thinking of going tokens with a sacrifice subtheme. I could use Teysa, Orzhov Scion that can also create white tokens from the black tokens that e.g. Dreadhorde Invasion or Ophiomancer create. It will be an endless loop!.. Or landfall, as Tayam can make some cool land recurring triggers using Evolution Sage , Felidar Retreat and many more landfall critters. He also makes a cool Abzan coloured Enchantress (recurring Animate Dead or Pernicious Deed while drawing cards from Setessan Champion and enchantresses alike and even a Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons subtheme sounds good, where Ammit Eternal , Devoted Druid and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician are great inclusions.
