IlLupo643, I definitely would like to see Jace as a major villain in the story, but I am not certain if WotC is willing to commit to such an idea, since Jace is practically the poster boy of the game.

Profet93, this deck contains numerous cards that offer payoffs for gaining life, so Oracle of Nectars is good for that, and I wished to have Selesnya Guildmage in at least one of my decks.

When Bolas was imprisoned in his own meditation realm, everyone predicted that WotC had written the story in such a way that Bolas could return, if they chose to do so, and, with Bolas having escaped, it is likely only a matter of time before he again plays a major role in the story, but I do hope that WotC waits for at least several more sets before re-introducing him, because, despite War of the Spark having been released six years ago (wow, has it really been that long, already?), I have not yet had a chance to miss Bolas, and I would like to see some other villains be major antagonists, before having a legacy villain return; at this moment, WotC seems to be strongly hinting that Tezzeret shall be the next major villain, or, at least, the main antagonist of Edge of Eternities (and, as a side note, the fact that Bolas escaped from the meditation realm shortly before EoE has me concerned that he may be involved in the story of that set), so I hope that he shall be very impressive, and not be overshadowed by anyone else. If WotC does wish for Bolas to return, I hope that they wait at least until every set that has currently been announced is released, to give players more time to miss him and actually anticipate his return.

What does everyone else say, about this? Do you hope that WotC shall wait for many more sets before focusing on Bolas, again? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter.

Also, as a side note, why did Jace even enter the meditation realm, anyway? Did he intend to release Bolas, or was that an unfortunate side effect?

Icbrgr, Jace was disguised as Ashiok in Outlaws of Thunder Junction, but the real Ashiok was in Wilds of Eldraine, so I definitely am expecting them to be a major character in the story, again, at some point.

Profet93, I could do that, but I have exactly 40 lands in the majority of my EDH decks, as a personal idiosyncrasy, so I would rather not violate that convention, unless I really need to do so.

Profet93, Chromatic Lantern is one of my favorite cards, so I like having it in my decks, for sentimental value.

The Ozolith is nice, but this deck does not quite have a sufficient focus on counters to justify it being included in this deck.

I very dearly wanted to put Heroic Intervention in this deck, but I could not quite find room, for it, unfortunately; Rishkar's Expertise is awesome, and definitely would be a great card, for this deck, again, if I can find room, for it.

The story of Duskmourn seemed to be fairly self-contained, but there is no way that WotC shall not revisit that plane, at some point, as its concept is far too awesome to not explore in further detail, so I wonder if Valgavoth shall be the next major villain in the story, since an eldritch abomination that feeds off fear is an excellent idea for a terrifying villain, so I wonder what plans WotC has for him, in the future? I have already predicted that Tezzeret shall be the next major villain, so, perhaps, Valgavoth could be the next major villain, after him?

What does everyone else say, about this? Will Valgavoth be the next major villain, in the story? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this subject.

legendofa, that is good to know, so I shall hope that WotC does not make black's ability to destroy enchantments any more powerful than what it currently is, and, out of curiosity, do the other four black cards that can destroy enchantments have drawbacks, of some form?

SaberTech, I agree with your last assertion, in that black should be allowed to destroy enchantments only if such destruction has significant drawbacks and/or is strongly conditional.

I wonder if I should put Elder Gargaroth into this deck, as that card certainly would be an excellent match for the themes of this deck?

For many years, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice was the top commander on EDHREC.com, but The Ur-Dragon has finally surpassed her, likely because of all the amazing dragons that were in Tarkir: Dragonstorm, so I would like to observe a moment of silence for our blessed lady of Phyrexia, and also offer my congratulations to the Ur-Dragon for claiming the title of top commander!

What does everyone else say, about this? How do you feel about The Ur-Dragon now being the top commander of all time on EDHREC, and do you predict that another legendary creature shall eventually claim that title? I certainly am very interested to receive your feedback, on this matter!

Bookrook, Taken by Nightmares cannot destroy or otherwise remove enchantments, so I have no problem, with that card.

SaberTech, your last point is actually a very good one, because that is a very interesting question to ask, and I suppose that it is one that we should debate; as long as black's ability to sacrifice or destroy enchantments does not intrude upon white and green's ability to do so, I shall not be bothered by it. I would prefer cards such as Mire in Misery or Extract the Truth over Feed the Swarm or Withering Torment, since those cards allow the caster's opponent to choose what enchantment they sacrifice, rather than allowing the caster to choose it, which means that the caster needs to play it very strategically, to produce the best result, from it.

In my previous post, I meant to say that I actually replaced two copies of Divinity of Pride with two copies of Indulging Patrician, because Deathbringer Liege is too awesome to not have four copies of it in a 60-card deck.

In these two posts, Mark Rosewater spoke of how black is able to interact with enchantments, and I have no problem with black having some ability to destroy enchantments, but Rosewater stated that black's ability to destroy enchantments would always be inferior to those of green and white, and Feed the Swarm certainly meets that criteria, but I feel that Withering Torment is too powerful for a mono-black card, since it is an instant and can destroy its own controller's enchantments, when Rosewater previously stated that black was not allowed to destroy or sacrifice its own enchantments, to require players to be more strategic in dealing with the drawbacks of "deal with the devil" enchantments that are a major part of black's identity, which Devouring Sugarmaw can do, so it is clear that the people at WotC are changing their minds about how black can interact with enchantments, but I hope that black does not intrude too severely on white and green's ability to destroy or otherwise remove enchantments.

What does everyone else say, on this subject? Do you agree with Mark Rosewater's opinions on how black is able to interact with enchantments? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, about this matter.

The mana curve of this deck is rather high for a 60-card deck, so I would like to reduce it, and I am contemplating replacing some of the more expensive creatures with copies of Baleful Strix, so does anyone here have any advice, about that?

I have replaced Alhammarret's Archive with The Wind Crystal, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.93 to 3.92, because, while it is always great to be able to draw additional cards, the crystal has amazing synergy with this deck, so I decided to make that replacement.

There are numerous variations of Overrun, some of which are also sorceries and some of which are creatures, and my favorite of those is Pathbreaker Ibex, because its ability is reusable, for only one additional mana over Overrun, and it can provide some major increases to the power and toughness of other creatures, in the proper deck, so I am wondering what everyone else thinks about that card.

What does everyone else say, about this subject? Is everyone else here as fond of Pathbreaker Ibex as I am, and why is Craterhoof Behemoth the more popular variant of Overrun, when it has a higher casting cost and cannot be reused without additional support? I certainly am interested to hear what everyone else has to say, on this matter.
