Maybeboard


Intro

Control deck that leverages the commander's best qualities. General philosophy for choosing cards is that they generate devotion or, if part of a combo, work decently well outside of the combo.

Although it is classified as Bracket 4, it is geared towards casual play and aims to win at turns 6 to 8.

Currently, early game is this deck's most glaring weakness. The most exciting things that can happen consistently up to turn 3 is to drop 2-cmc mana rocks...

How to Win

  1. Assemble the Citadel Combo: Aetherflux Reservoir, Bolas's Citadel, Sensei's Divining Top
  2. Assemble the Life Combo: Bloodthirsty Conqueror, Enduring Tenacity
  3. Build devotion to cast Gray Merchant of Asphodel, which can be hastened by Bloodletter of Aclazotz
  4. Build an overwhelming boardstate through powerful creatures and enchantments
  5. Good old combat damage with flying creatures

Extra Draw

  • Necropotence is the best black card draw card ever and provide high devotion
  • The second best one is Black Market Connections, which also ramps and creates tokens when needed
  • Unholy Annex provides card draw that can be later transformed into life drain
  • Call of the Ring later helps with card filtering thanks to the ring mechanic
  • Phyrexian Arena provides more devotion and costs less per turn to draw.
