Someone pointed out the Dockside Extortionist and Temur Sabertooth combo on my Korvold deck, sound spicy?

It is austintayshus, n0bunga pointed that out in our discord chat and I am considering it. It makes infinite mana, however I have yet to conclude which combo route to go for. I'm leaning more towards reanimator combo to pull out the full potential of Jund. I already have Dockside in the deck, but Temur Sabertooth is something to consider!

I run the Dockside Sabretooth and it's a good backup combo. My main--or easiest--line is Animation Module + Korvold + any sac outlet; Krark, Ashnod's, Phyrexian Altar, Viscera, etc.

Really glad you decided to try him out without Food Chain! Truth is, I admire your works and enjoyed a bunch of your other lists.

If you're interested, I've been playtesting a semi-comp build for the last few weeks. Here's what I've come up with: Puff, the Fae-Cursed Dragon

Happy building!

Oh yeah, FWIW I run things like Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire as primary wincons, and Bloodbriar can take the place of Korvold in the Animation Module combo.

Shit last one (waited too long to edit.. sry!)

I don't run much removal just because of how early I expect things to happen, but also my meta didn't have much stax until recently one of the guys acquired a fully tuned Urza and a Derevi player joined in. Now I'll probably add Cursed Totem , Force of Vigor and some more removal.

I rely heavily on Boseiju, Pyroblast, Red/blast, and Veil on/around the turns I expect to go off.

What do you think?

Cool list but how effective is Captain Lannery Storm ? Seems like a really slow treasure generator to me..

Yo Fenryr, thanks for the upvote peep~

As to respond to your comment, I absolutely love Torment of Hailfire and others of it's ilk. I'm still haven't figured out which way I want to build Korvold just yet as I don't have it in paper as of the moment until release day so till than this is all theorycraft. I'll definitely be updating and getting the primer in once I test the deck and see how it is. Right now I am super hyped up to test him out, I honestly think he is better than Prossh due to the versatility he brings to the table. Even if going the FC route he is better because he can draw you your win conditions whereas Prossh you have to have an outlet in hand.

In going to your second comment, REB and Pyroblast are amazing cards in cEDH meta or blue based heavy meta. There will be guaranteed at least one blue player in the pod and it definitely helps in protection or removal. Jund has some great removal in terms of Assassin's Trophy , Abrupt Decay , Nature's Claim , even Seeds of Innocence in artifact heavy pods.

Feel free to hit me up if ya need more insight, always down to have some brewing discussion or deck teching! :3

Heya kerrik, tbh I'm not too sure how well Captain Lannery Storm will do. It's more for the value where I can make treasures in conjunction to draw cards with Korvold without having to pay a great cost, and it's sweet early game. In my Niv-Mizzie deck it has been a ton of value for the early ramp, even at one per turn as I can accelerate into Niv. So I am assuming it will be decent in Korvold as I can make mana as well as draw cards, the synergy is real yo. Aside from that, as I mentioned in my other comment I haven't built the deck in paper just yet so I can't really test it out until I have it in my hands, but until than feel free to point out any other things that you see!

So been play testing Korvold here for a month or so. I started with the extra lands package to be not necessary. i.e. Exploration , azusa, crucible, ramunap. My main deck is The Gitrog Monster and Korvold shares 70% of the cards. I have found Emergence Zone to be an all star along with Survival of the Fittest to win at instant speed or at least threaten the win at any time there's a mana open. I've cut Toxic Deluge and replaced it with Fire Covenant as I run just as many dorks as you. Reanimation package of Reanimate Animate Dead also has been key usually targeting Dockside Extortionist but also trying out Razaketh to see if I like it. Also, may I interest you in Reap in place of Regrowth ?

Thoughts?

Fenryr says... #10

Lol if only Smothering Tithe was black... :( I’ve been playing Korvold almost exclusively. What I’ve found is that, while oppressive staccs is a no go, things like City of Solitude and Defense Grid are golden as most times opponents counters out-counter any of my supplemental defenses (I.e. Autumns veil, veil of summer, red counters). Heartwood Storyteller, what do you think? Slow but useful and political.

October 14, 2019 9:11 a.m.

Royal-Tot says... #11

Fenryr yeah Heartwood Storyteller has no business in a Cedh meta. Sure you get to draw a card but so does a flash hulk player or one on consult lines. That’s why I think scheming symmetry is a no go unless you’re playing Stranglehold

hkhssweiss says... #12

Royal-Tot Yo, great perspective appreciate the analysis ya have. I just recently got back from Vegas so I wasn't able to test it more but at the current moment the extra land package is quite necessary as I am in a more stax oriented meta. I do like the change for Fire Covenant over Toxic Deluge and I been playing around with Survival of the Fittest , since my lines tend to be more creature based I do think SotF will do more work especially with the Temur/Dockside line.

I have yet to see if the Raza line will do work, but my buddy plays the Raza line in his Prossh so I can see the value in it, especially since we have access to Life / Death as well, but that requires more testing as I play more and more. For the Regrowth over Reap , it depends as usually there is only one other black player, so at the moment I will use Regrowth for now. Tomorrow I'm going to be able to play a little more so I'll post my results after tomorrow night. (Also testing out Scheming Symmetry , it has it's value as long as you can draw first which is usually via Korvold plus it's another any tutor which is great)

Fenryr I do not like Heartwood Storyteller , I don't like giving anyone else advantage but myself, for Defense Grid and City of Solitude I do like them but I prefer Dosan over both as there are other ways for me to grab them.

Thanks for the comments you two!

Kholek says... #13

Love the deck, looks like a lot of fun.

so my idea would be to add shirei, shizo's cartaker. him out with all your sac's and triggers would make your commander explode with counters and card draw, being that you can do this on everyone's turn.

October 30, 2019 9:41 a.m.

hkhssweiss says... #14

Like that idea Kholek, I'm actually planning to make sub builds of Korvold as he is so flexible! Like a land based and aristocrat based deck!

tsujimon says... #15

This deck is wonderful!!

I think I will rebuild the Jund deck that I gave up with Prossh.

November 2, 2019 3:21 p.m.

hkhssweiss says... #16

Glad you liked it tsujimon!!!

I'm so in love with Korvold that I'm actually planning to make subdecks with it! Going to build a land based version as well as an aristocrat version as well!

shwanerz88 says... #17

It may be a bit pricey to get the cards now but If you can come across a Meren Commander Precon Meren of Clan Nel Toth & Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest are excellent additions to any sacrifice deck. Feel free to check out my Jund Dragon Prossh here for more ideas Prossh, Skyraider of my Friends

hkhssweiss says... #18

Yo shwanerz88, price isn't an issue. This is a FC comp. deck so appreciate the input but doesn't really mesh well with what I'm going for. Thanks for checking it out though~

November 8, 2019 7:02 p.m.

this is a great combo deck what would you think about my try at korvald? korvald's goblin feast

hkhssweiss says... #20

Yo heraldofkrenko, I see what your trying to do and I definitely like the idea of what your trying to do. Is there a budget you are working with?

February 24, 2020 3:14 a.m.

ive built most of it already besides land and I think I could afford about $75. so the urborg and cabal coffers are out

February 24, 2020 7:58 a.m.

hkhssweiss says... #22

Hmmm, there are a bit of things you can add in as I tried playtesting it earlier and it definitely feels a bit clunky. Your goal is to make a lot of tokens and use them to kill people. You should focus more on value cards like i.e.

Just to make some tokens while you are idle. And some kill effects like Triumph of the Hordes or effects like those. What is the main goal you want to do?

February 25, 2020 12:03 a.m.

the main goal was to have doubling season or parallel lives on the field and then with blood artist bring krenko mob boss with sling gang lt. and create tokens that way. there is a possibility to have rhythm on the field and bring the combo faster.

February 25, 2020 5:03 a.m.

hkhssweiss says... #24

Goblin sub theme mixed in? Seems a bit slow but I like the idea. I would suggest more tutors than to get the combo pieces out faster as well as Goblin Matron to pull out the specific goblin ya need for the combo pieces.

GreggySteggy says... #25

I got to say nice deck, this decklist has helped shaped my Korvold deck. I have been testing a slightly less land tuned version of this deck but the one card that I think a card that does well is Squandered Resources . It has helped me secure games because of the extra mana from my lands and extra card draw
