Strangelove on Omertà - Torgaar's Mafia

A trick that really helps me cut is setting up custom categories like this:

1x Pawn of Ulamog #Combo
1x Sol Ring #Ramp

Establish a base of ramp and draw and then limit cards that don't function on their own (#Combo).

Sling-Gang is definitely one of my favorites for a deck like this (keep it).

I think you're still split across extra themes (good-stuff and reanimator vs aristocrats): Torgaar is pretty narrow, so play things you can easily sacrifice for value and cut cards that don't directly feed this theme:

Conjurer's Closet... this really only works with 1/3 of your deck and putting 3 creatures into play to cast Torgaar is effectively the same thing.

Gonti, Lord of Luxury... fun, yes, but really its just "2BB: Draw a card" ...see Dusk Legion Zealot.

Whisper, Blood Liturgist/ Demon of Dark Schemes/ Chainer, Dementia Master... these are all clunky; how are you going to put cards in graveyards that are actually worth the high cost of reanimating? These belong in a different deck or with things like Key to the City.

Nightmare Shepherd... I love this card, but it warps the deck in that it asks you to stop playing from the graveyard entirely (you could just keep drawing instead). This would definitely the direction where cards like Deathrender shine.

Krav, the Unredeemed/ God-Eternal Bontu/ Costly Plunder... I'm realizing that since Torgaar is your sac-engine, you really just want "free" draw like Midnight Reaper and Liliana, Dreadhorde General... followed by Dark Prophecy/ Erebos, Bleak-Hearted/ Harvester of Souls... and maybe Gate to the Afterlife.

Also, you're going to want Living Death.

Also, at least 36 lands. As long as you have 6+ drops, you really want 37-38.

I'm actually really liking Torgaar. He's mostly a sac-outlet in the command zone, so if you can jam a good base of creatures and keep drawing, you'll be able to find a lot of room to do what you want.

• Martyr's Bond to kill off opponent's creatures

• Wake the Dead because you can get all of the death triggers (doubled with Teysa Karlov) of the creatures in your graveyard for pretty cheap.

• Bone Splinters and/or Spark Harvest for a super cheap kill spell that also lets you sac a creature

• Whisper, Blood Liturgist for a sac trigger plus a little recursion

• Viscera Seer for a good free sac trigger

Also, thanks I guess because I am taking some suggestions from your decklist to add to my Teysa Karlov deck, Teysa's Cheery Sacrifice. :-)

Maybe you should include Whisper, Blood Liturgist, and Priest of Forgotten Gods as both are good sac outlets.

Rotting Regisaur is a good way to get stuff in the grave.

My Meren deck was my first good deck, so this is an upvote for me.

Cutpocalypse:

Witch's Oven- Good, but we could go faster!

Bloodsoaked Altar- Way too many hoops to be good? I want to win by casting 6-mana spells.

Gaze of Granite- How often do you want this type of removal? Wouldn't it be better to play Putrefy?

Devils' Playground- This is too expensive to not do anything on it's own. 6-mana makes win.

Blood for Bones- There are better methods of creature type recursion to run this deck on. Try on some of my lovely favorites below.

Whisper, Blood Liturgist- 4-mana, doesn't do anything. If it survives a round, you get revive a dude. I'd rather just revive a dude right now.

Syr Konrad, the Grim- Better for mill-type decks. Would be a keeper if you had an infinite loop though.

Predator Dragon- Can't argue that this isn't one of the better win cards in your deck, but I think this is the type of card that spells doom if you draw it on E.

Poison-Tip Archer- A little redundancy isn't bad, reach and deathtouch are great, too expensive CMC for the deck. You want your stuff like this to be cheap.

Living Hive- You should win if you have 8 mana. This is the type of card you cheat into play by playing a different deck.

Hissing Iguanar-Put that thing back where it came from or so help me. I think we can do better than this.

From Toilet Paper Horde:

Dockside Extortionist- Haven't dropped mine on the table yet, but I've noted several occasions this card would net me 6-12 mana. (especially when Kurt plays).

Phyrexian Reclamation- I think this just belongs here.

Phyrexian Altar- ($18 at this point, we'll check back in a few weeks/months/years).

What to Loot WTSHTF:

Viscera Seer - Think of it as a sac engine and not a 1-drop.

Sakura-Tribe Elder- Is perfect ramp for deck?

Anger- Haste means punch them now, what's not to love?

Rhythm of the Wild- Think of this as enabling a big punch. Tempo!

Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin- Just a good stand alone. Sometimes it just eats removal for your win cons which is hilarious to watch.

Siege-Gang Commander- Like, one of my favorite red cards, fits right on in.

Veil of Summer- Basically prevents you from the classic ?Does it Resolve? dilemma.

Heroic Intervention- Wrath of Who?

Dark Ritual- I would like to cast all of these spells early. All of them.

Krenko's Command- Just fast and easy. Good for fodder, refill, combo, etc.

Dread Return- Three other creatures for the one you need right now (and can cast it from graveyard wtf).

Maelstrom Pulse- Target Sol rings to pass the salt back around.

Vraska, Relic Seeker- Surprisingly effective casting pattern with your commander.

(((((Various Expensive Lands))))) PURCHASE LAND YOU PEASANT! :wink:

@hox167 - lol. You might have misread earlier.. it's not a problem though.. Whisper, Blood Liturgist can be good in some circumstance, not sure about in this deck though.. Thanks for suggesting it!

Whisper, Blood Liturgist should be better than Victimize, it's a creature as well.

SueMe on Hogaak: My Favorite (Infinite) Combo Deck

Hmm. Whisper, Blood Liturgist isn't that bad of a card in and of itself. Are you talking about combos with cards like Thornbite Staff?

The thing is, every creature in this deck is basically a Whisper for Hogaak, and most of the time, I don't need to reanimate anything else, so Whisper is kind of redundant.
