@@silentmayan5427 it's a tough build but surprisingly efficient. I use a sub theme of extort and a little control with blind obedience and such to kind of slow down the pace. Also inkshield and blot out the sky are mvps

@@michaeljaubert1325 inkshield is so freaking good. "Oh I'm gonna take take 10 damage? Sike I'm gonna a gain 10 life and put 20 flying power on my field." Then all those creatures are garunteed damage. They get board wiped and they still do damage. I haven't gotten blot out the sky yet, but have you tried Plague of Vermin? 6 and a black for a sorcery that reads "starting with you each player may bid any amount of life. Bidding continues until no one bids any life. Each player adds a number of 1/1 rats equal to the amount of life they payed." If you leave yourself with just enough life that you can't be bolted with the first life gain trigger on the stack and you create something like 30 rats and gain all your life back. With that many creatures you've won the game.

I love how this deck is almost identical to my Ayli the eternal pilgrim deck. I mean aside from a few exceptions like a couple tutors it actually is the same. In fact I could probably take out something and put this commander into my 99 and use it every once in awhile as a secret Commander to throw people off. I think I have like 6 of them after a set box. I don't know if this guy is very interesting addition to the deck but having the option to have these abilities on a commander is undoubtedly powerful and absolutely rounds out the archetype.

I started building around this commander as soon as I pulled it in the prerelease event. I nearly wiped out several players with a marionette master when another player dropped Descend into Avernus. I should move sunbond into the deck to slip onto marionette master to pump the instant kill methods by sacrificing artifacts.

Oloro All Removal. Oloro keeps ticking up your life total, while every card is removal of some sort to keep your opponents from winning. I actually have a deck like that, but it wins through a number of large creatures with flying (Angel of Despair, Angel of the Dire Hour, Ashen Rider, Steel Hellkite, etc.). If you wanted to replace them with more board wipes, it would do what you're asking for.

@tdmuck5701 Жыл бұрын

To me, blade of selves looks like a must have with this commander. It gives equipped creature myriad. So due to mass etb and death triggers (assuming 2 opponents) And assuming your commander is having tokens made out of it, you will gain 7 life and each opponent will lose 7 life. Off 1 attack trigger.

@anttown4ever Жыл бұрын

The tokens must be sacrificed or destoyed for the death triggers to happen. They are exiled with the myriad rule. But if you can kill them before they gets exiled you will get the value 🙂
