One card that I believe is currently going under the radar for these style of decks is Spymaster's Vault Land Enters tapped unless you control a swamp T: Black B, T: Target creature you control connives X, where X is the number of creatures that died this turn. Connives: "Draw X cards, then discard X cards" This ability with Shilgengar is nuts for filling up the graveyard fast and also that fact that its a land that will filter your hand is crazy value. Its also only about $1-2 and will slot in for a swamp.

Love this deck tech! I am absolutely bringing this to my table asap

One quick note for everyone. Thief of Blood will not remove all the finality counters if it was brought back by Shilgengars ability at the same time as everything else. It will only remove the counters from the creatures that were present before Shilgengars ability was activated. Scenario 1: Shilgengar on the battlefield with nothing else. Thief of Blood and Gray Merchant in the GY. Activating Shilgengars ability will result in a Thief of Blood and Gray Merchant entering and both having a finality counter. Scenario 2: Shilgengar and a Gray Merchant with a finality count. Thief of Blood in the GY. Activating Shilgengars ability will result in a Thief of Blood having a +1/+1 counter + finality counter and Gray Merchant with NO finality counter. This is because Thief of Blood is a replacement effect, "as it enters the battlefield", referring to before it enters. Hope this helps.

this has to be my fav commander in the new set thanks a lot for the breakdown☺️

Shilgengar turning them into vampires, and clavileno later then turning them into demons. SO GOOD AND GOODY!

This commander brings back the nostalgia of magic. Angels and demons, mechanics that make sense, not cedh but just a good time. Awesome video as always!

just blink all the reanimated creatures counter gone...and question as the Commander is Black and white and the Malakir Bloodwitch has protection from white it could not be targeted in the graveyard, can it?

This guys slides in as either secret commander or alternative commander for BW Rodolf Blood deck, similar idea of using blood to fill the yard with angels and vamps. Its like wizards new what i was brewing.

Regarding Eerie Interlude and Finality counters: You sure it works that way? The effect of finality is a replacement effect that triggers on leaving the battlefield and exiling meets the condition of leaving the battlefield. Will Eerie Interlude see those creatures? They are not exiled by Eerie Interlude but by the finality effect right? I will check on Judge discord and come back. Edit: Finality triggers on creature dying only so my assumption was incorrect to begin with. Eerie Interlude works perfectly fine with finality counters.
