zapyourtumor, ha! I am up at weird hours sometimes, and I just happen to see the notifications. But I don’t hand out +1’s lightly, your 5-minute 5 am creations are awesome! I like how you think outside-the-box

You also really could use more creature removal. Baleful Mastery, Deadly Rollick, Dismember, Snuff Out, The Meathook Massacre, etc are critical, since your life total is so important, you need a way to eliminate creatures which pose a serious threat, or to allow K’rrik to pierce your opponent’s defenses.

Your land strategy is unfortunately too slow for competitive play, and you are running too many lands. You should cut down to 30 total lands and focus on Lake of the Dead, which can be useful during the early turns, and drop Cabal Coffers and Cabal Stronghold, which will take way too long to become relevant. If you can’t combo out by turn 4, you are probably doomed, and these lands won’t help.

Hey theyounghansolo, I have a lot of experience playing K’rrik competitively and I have a few suggestions to help you improve your competitiveness:

ssteves1069 is spot on, Chainer, Dementia Master is crucial to this deck’s functionality. Since his ability is an activated ability, it bypasses Rule of Law and counterspells, which are this deck’s greatest weakness. To use Chainer, you need a proper sacrifice outlet like Dimir House Guard or Razaketh, the Foulblooded. Once you have Chainer, Guard/Razaketh, and Gray Merchant of Asphodel on the board, you’ve assembled an infinite combo and drain each opponent to death. You can also accomplish this with Buried Alive and Necrotic Ooze.

Final Parting targeting Reanimate in hand and Vilis, Broker of Blood in the grave usually wins you the game. Scheming Symmetry should never be run in a competitive setting since you are likely providing an opponent with a combo piece or counterspell.

Beacon of Unrest is too slow, I’d replace it with Shallow Grave. Recurring your artifacts is not critical to your strategy.

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse has the same functionality as Aetherflux Reservoir, but is a creature and can be reanimated. She pairs perfectly with Vilis. Plus Shelly and Peer into the Abyss either gains you lots of life or usually eliminates another player.

To be continued…

This is hilarious and pretty accurate! I submitted my EDH decks and got the following:

K’RRIK, LORD OF THE STORM [cEDH Primer] - 39.8

TINY PUNISHER - Discard/Stax [cEDH Primer] - 42.6

WILLY WONKA’S ZOMBIE FACTORY [cEDH Primer v.2.0] - 47.7

KAALIA'S CATACLYSM - Aggro/Stax [cEDH Primer] - 64.1 - “pure artistry” lol! Lots of hate to go around!

Dude, this is really cool! Why not make it a 6/7, which adds up to 13? ;)

Good points Awdiehl7. We have to get around to taking those pics eventually.

zapyourtumor, ha! How does it go, it isn’t the size that matters, but how you use it?

Hey Katzmania, how’s it going? It’s been a while. I updated this deck post-Lurrus ban. I’ve been out of the loop with competitive modern. What are your thoughts about the deck post-Lurrus ban?
