Sacrifice another creature: Yahenni gains indestructible until end of turn.

OK here are some cards to look at based on what you like:

Quag Vampires, Vampire of the Dire Moon, Kalastria Highborn, Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Bloodthirsty Aerialist

Not sure what your budget is, but Yawgmoth, Thran Physician always goes well in vampire decks since +1/+1 counters are always a thing. You can pair that with Spread the Sickness or Grim Affliction.

Additionally, Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood form a pretty nice combo in lifelink decks.

Also, Sol Ring is not legal in anything but commander. Dark Ritual is only legal in vintage, legacy, commander (not modern or standard). If this is just to play casually, that won't matter. I just tend to build format legal decks just incase lol.

I love mono black (i am looking at building one myself)...here are some possible adds:

Creatures: Yahenni, Undying Partisan Vampire of the Dire Moon Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

Non-Creatures: Thoughtseize Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord Quagmire to counter anyone with swampwalk which you're vulnerable to Funeral Charm, Leshrac's Rite, and Nighthaze all give additional creatures swampwalk...to use with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Blanket of Night, Evil Presence, Tainted Well among others, all can turn an opponent's land into a swamp to combo with swampwalk and make some creatures unblockable Call the Bloodline

Lands: Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth for the swampwalk creatures

I would recommend you to try Drana, Liberator of Malakir and Yahenni, Undying Partisan. Another funny card is Bloodchief Ascension, yo will punish your opnents every time a card goes to a graveyard, and with vito in play you do 4 damage and gain 2 life with each card sent to the graveyard.

Thanks for the suggestions pretendingtoalright. I recently took out the Sifter of Skulls and Pawn of Ulamog for Furnace Celebration and Serrated Scorpion. I have only played one game so far with this deck as my play group only gets together once a month or so. I need to play a few more games with it to see where it needs some more help. The first game was fun though, one friend played a board wipe and I was able to keep Yahenni, Undying Partisan and he was huge. I didn't win the game but the deck seemed to be working well until I ate a bunch of poison counters >_<

Ysura on [Duel Commander] Help to upgrade …

Hello all,

I am looking to improve the Ruthless Regiment deck, whose main commander is Jirina Koudro.

For the game plan: human tribal, mardu, aggro aggressive (creatures that can be launched quickly and evolve) and with some midrange effects.

I've already tried several games with Silvar, Devourer of the Free in command, but it didn't do me any more.

Where I'm having the most trouble is identifying which cards to remove and which to add to the counterpart.

My budget to start all these modifications is about $50 and i will make it evolve later.

I've identified a few cards that I like:

• General Kudro of Drannith
• Cruel Celebrant
• Demonic Tutor
• Outlaws' Merriment
• Judith, the Scourge Diva
• Kambal, Consul of Allocation
• Mikaeus, the Lunarch
• Swords to Plowshares
• Yahenni, Undying Partisan
• Tajic, Legion's Edge

I also heard about the combo with these cards:

• Fiend Hunter
• Angel of Glory's Rise

Thank you all

Wow! I mean, this is some seriously next level deck tech doctoring. Thank you so much for your time! I agree with everything you've said, and have tinkered with it somewhat today by swapping in some creatures with similar abilities like you've mentioned.

Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Moriok Replica, and Marionette Master are all on the shopping list now.

I'm still kind of new to building EDH decks so this was really cool. Cheers!!

Cool deck!

Alesha, Who Smiles at Death was one of the first generals I built a commander deck around and I've been tuning mine ever since.

Replacements I would make

• Replace Dolmen Gate with Reconnaissance since it costs 1 less and also can untap your creatures after damage has been dealt to give them pseudo-vigilance.
• Replace Angel of Invention with Marionette Master since if you get infinite ETBs on marionette master, you can sac the infinite tokens to deal infinite damage.

Other cards I might suggest

• Add Moriok Replica is the best card I have in my Alesha deck, it can draw you so many cards every turn.
• Add Panharmonicon/Flameshadow Conjuring so you can get double ETB triggers.
• Add Torch Fiend and Kami of Ancient Law for repeatable artifact/enchantment removal.
• Add Remorseful Cleric for repeatable graveyard hate.
• Add Magus of the Disk for a repeatable board wipe.
• Add Yahenni, Undying Partisan since he's a free sac outlet that can draw you cards and can also be recurred using Alesha.

Combos I might suggest

• Add Reveillark/Sun Titan + Karmic Guide + a sac outlet + a creature with an ETB trigger like Murderous Redcap = infinite ETBs.
• Add Vesperlark + Felidar Guardian + a sac outlet = infinite sacrifices.
• Add Sun Titan + Gift of Immortality + a sac outlet = infinite sacrifices.
• Add Zealous Conscripts + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker = infinite hasty pirates.

Cards I recommend ditching:

• Remove Carrion Grub Its basically 4 mana for 4 cards milled, that isn't worth it.
• Remove Sunforger You only have 6 legal Sunforger targets, it isn't worth it to keep it in.
• Remove Dictate of Erebos You don't need this if you can just get a Ravenous Chupacabra out and keep recurring it.
• Remove Mindclaw Shaman This was a card that I found didn't do much when I played it, there are alot of other creatures with better ETB effects.
• Remove Relic Seeker There isn't much of a need to fetch a piece of equipment since you only have Sunforger, Sword of the Animist, and Skullclamp.

Feel Free to check out my RBW Alesha's Beautiful Smile combo deck for ideas.

I'm going to suggest a lot of possible cards to give you options, but I'm not saying they should all go in the deck!

Here's some additional sac outlets, since I think they'll be useful for keeping your creatures flowing:
Viscera Seer
Birthing Pod
Woe Strider
Yahenni, Undying Partisan
Yawgmoth, Thran Physician
Diabolic Intent
Attrition

And here are some cards that go well with doing damage and saccing creatures:
Dictate of Erebos
Butcher of Malakir
Erebos, Bleak-Hearted
Midnight Reaper
Moldervine Reclamation
Chandra's Ignition (deals double damage to the chosen player and is also a panic button)

You might need some additional protection since you're likely to be a target:
Teferi's Protection
Flawless Maneuver
Deflecting Swat

Hope that gives you a good starting point. However, I don't think Saskia is necessarily a high synergy commander. If you're really looking for synergy and/or combo decks (since you have Aluren in the deck), I'd recommend Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, or Meren of Clan Nel Toth.
