Withering Boon

Instant

As an additional cost to play Withering Boon, pay 3 life.

Counter target creature spell.

I completely forgot Withering Boon existed and immediately ordered one for this deck lmao I also like the addition of Snuff Out but I'm not yet sure what I would take out for it. Definitely a great consideration though. Thank you!

Alright. Have you considered Snuff Out? It's alternate cost is perfect in a deck like this.

I also run Withering Boon in all my mono black Commander decks, as nobody expects a counter from black, and it can get around hexproof commanders. I know you're unlikely to play it on your own turn so it won't trigger Morty, but it's still great.

I like Withering Boon a lot actually. It would fit nicely with Imp's Mischief and Force of Despair as another "Gotcha" Card.

     elliotmward97: So I actually used to run Red Elemental Blast, Pyroblast, Tibalt's Trickery and Withering Boon but didn't feel I was getting enough mileage out of them. Imp's Mischief and Deflecting Swat are both great in any black and/or red deck, I just don't have a copy of either unfortunately lol.

     Hadn't considered Wishclaw Talisman but I'm definitely going to now! Especially with Goblin Engineer/Goblin Welder is a pretty nifty combo. =D

     Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos is a card I really liked thematically, but in practice just never felt good to draw. Even going infinite with Dockside and Technomancer requires your opponents to have at least seven Enchantments and Artifacts - which totally is gonna happen sometimes, but definitely not all the time.

     Chandra, Torch of Defiance is another card I used to run (and quite liked) but got cut for Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast as Daretti just synergized with the deck better. Chandra may yet make it back into the deck, though!

     As for cuts, I'm not totally sure but probably Hellkite Tyrant in favour of Ancient Copper Dragon. Tyrant is great but also extremely telegraphed. I'd probably look at Professional Face-Breaker or either Mayhem Devil or Nadier's Nightblade (depending on your playstyle) as a cut for Imperial Recruiter. And although Goblin Welder is a favourite of mine, it's likely on the chopping block if I do pick up a Ragavan.

I would take out deadly rollick for a card like Force of Despair or Slaughter Pact. you dont get the hit counter from Mari when you exile an opponent's creature because it is not dying it is being exiled. i've killed 6 creatures at once with force of despair

If the reason you have Withering Boon is to trigger Mari it wont because the creature never hits the battlefield therefore it never dies, otherwise im not to sure why you have a creature counter spell, i guess for commanders eh. i think it would be better to have another kill spell imo.

she's not in the tribe but Marionette Master synergizes really well with Mari. so does Underhanded Designs & Deadly Dispute

I have built my own Mari deck and played a decent amount of games winning a few. Enjoy, she's really fun!!

Has this deck been in your rotation for 9 years? Awesome! I have my own love bug that just won't quit: The Red Terror: Akroma's Manifesto

Brittle Boon

Enchantment

Each other enchantment has "At the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice this permanent. If you do, you lose 5 life. If you don't, you lose 1 life and discard a card.


Withering Boon would have been a perfect name for this. What a shame.
