Why hello there,

Not sure why you would be reading this, but here goes:

I've been playing MTG since spring of 2000. Been pretty steady in playing casual. Did some standard FNM but it was never quite my thing unless I came up with some sort of Rogue deck.

Formats I particular enjoy is Casual, Commander/EDH and Oathbreaker. Again, most decks are relatively quirky, use weird synergies or combos that I find amusing to use. I tend to be a major Johnny with a streak of Spike, so quite a few of the unusual combos/synergies tend to be designed to dominate the table. The more important thing to me is just playing and enjoying the game though.

I've posted a few decks here. Might post a few more when the whim hits.

Here's another one that looks like it would work well for the consistent persist ability Grumgully, the Generous

So far I would have:

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed Rhythm of the Wild Master Chef Uncivil Unrest Grumgully, the Generous

That's some pretty decent odds of getting recurring Persist creatures! Oh yes, I also added two scarecrows to the list, Rattleblaze Scarecrow as well as Wingrattle Scarecrow. a bit on the mana heavy side, but they should help.

I've also updated the list to show some changes, such as the removal of the tutors and some other tweaks.

Oh nice, I really like rhythm of the wild and uncivil unrest! I will get a lot use from those persist creatures, that's for sure. All will be one would be an interesting means damage opponents with the counters, I like that idea.

I have been eyeballing Krav for this deck. He would be a good addition and I have one if him as well.

These are great suggestions, thanks!

hey Ctoth-2!

That Loyal Guardian is a great idea! I have never seen that card before, I'll have to ask around to see if anyone in my playgroup has one. Having another means to put +1/+1 counters on my persist creatures would definitely go a long way to getting my master plan active: To Goad all of the creatures, all of the time.

As to the anti-lifegain subtheme, I realized it went against the lifegain portion while I was assembling the physical deck, so I'm testing out Fireball and Lavalanche instead of Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire. I also replaced the Demon Tutor and Grim Tutor and dropped Diabolic Tutor. I tend to avoid having certain staples in my decks so they don't feel stale, and I noticed I keep wanting to put those fouro in nearly every black deck. I like my games to have some variety and for decks to have different strategies compared to the others. I left Zulaport Cutthroat (Another card I find in a lot of my black decks, but it's ability suits the deck) and the Vampiric Rites in the deck as the lifegain is just a minor benefit to what I was actually after: a recurring life loss for opponents with one and card draw and a sac engine with the other.

Squee is a good idea. I did consider him until my son took my spare copy to use in a deck of his own haha. My other one is a Commander for another deck. He would be a great addition though. Braids, Arisen Nightmare is...well... a nightmare to try to convince players to trade. I didn't see any available last week but I should ask around.

These are great suggestions man! Thanks a lot for giving them out. You don't have to be the strongest deckbuilder around to build a good, fun deck. Your suggestions would definitely be an improvement.

Thanks man, that is much appreciated! Took me a while to get around to working on this one but I feel like it turned out pretty good!
