New combos for 2021

Commander (EDH) forum

The commander im currently using is Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter . I haven't played with him in years and i have to say im impressed with his power to 1 hit someone. Im using Soul of Eternity a bunch of equipments (5) but also equip tutors. Nightmare Shepherd has been vital to vish kal. Instead of Grave Titan i use Geist-Honored Monk the x/x power and toughness works good with the Shepherd. And all the other nasty life gain combos. Vis kal is definitely a threat. Cover yourself with lifelink and deathtouch and hell come out And go crazy!!!

Tibalt is pretty powerful for sure. But Omen Machine and Weathered Runestone don't interact in the way you seem to assume:

Omen machine exiles the top card, and if it's a non-land, its owner max cast it from exile. Runestone only forbids cards from libraries or graveyards to be cast. This doesn't hit cards from exile.

If you were to do such a thing, Omen Machine and Drannith Magistrate would be your Path to that. You could also add Uba Mask as redundancy for Machine.

One final thing: If Runestone would also forbid casting cards from exile, this would hit Tibalt, as well. As Magistrate only hits opponents, you could however do this in a WRB deck.

Need a red, black, or colorless card that stops drawing.

Magistrate indeed stops your opponents from casting their commanders.

There aren't too many cards to prevent drawing cards in BR. Besides Omen Machine , there's basically only Maralen of the Mornsong .

Thats risky but it falls in line with my draw effects, like ob nixilis. Anything to make them pay for drawing. Theres so much draw power
