Just some quick deckbuilding
20 Swamps
4 Witches cottage
4 Cauldron Familiar
4 witches oven
4 Grey Merchant of Asphodel
2 Erobos, bleak-Hearted
4 Yarok's Fenlurker
3 Araya, First of the Lochtwain
3 drill bit
4 drag to the underworld
4 blood for bones
2 omen of the dead
3 Tyremeat, Chosen from death
any suggestions?
Edit 1: Replaced Mires grasp with drag to the underworld
Yeah, so i made this before war of the spark, so its basically my take on Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God without knowing anything about it
Nicol Bolas, God-Emperor (Yeah, I know, bad name) UUBBBRR2
+2: Each opponent Sacrifices 3 Permanents. Then Exile each opponents Graveyard.
-4: Search your library for two cards and put them into your hand. Then Search Each opponents Library for two cards and Exile them. Shuffle All libraries searched this way.
-10: Each opponents discards their hand and sacrifices 7 permanents. Then Exile Each opponents Graveyard. You Gain an Emblem with: You may cast Cards Exiled With Nicol Bolas, God-Emperor, without paying their mana costs.
Starting Loyalty: 7
Probably broken or Useless, But any feedback is welcome.
Okay, i took out Arkoan jailer, Azorius Guildmage, and Azban Advantage. I didn't know about the better alternatives
For Removal i added Swift Reckoning which is useful since tapping is the name of the game with this deck niblis of the Urn was a good one that would have made it into my first draft had i known about it.
Kind of stupid of me for not adding more card draw, hope fully opt and revitalize will suffice
I think you overlooked the fact that Dance of the skywise triggers oujati's Ability, since it turns a creature into a dragon.
Thanks for the suggestions. Is the Deck any better now? gonna test it out soon.
and, yes. i am aware that shadowborn was not a theros card. I was playing during this time. It just always seemed like a theros Card to me, plus it would work great if Devotion comes back.
The Problem with living death is that 1 its expensive (I dont Want to raise the price of this deck any more than i have to) and 2, its benefits my opponents. They might be able to end the game before i can hit a point where my two mass production lands can give me enough mana to begin my infinite combo.
The second thing is power. I'm not omniscient (I've been playing since Theros, so most cards before that have escaped my notice), so i probably missed some cards that are perfect for this type of deck.
In case any of you are wondering. This deck wants to use the massive Mana Generated by shrine to Nyx, Cabal Stronghold, Magus of the coffers, and Blood Celebrant in a single turn to draw most of your deck with villis (from all the live you dumped into mana with blood celebrant) and then use Aetherflux Reservoir, staff of death, Demon Horn, and Bontu monument (plus the Extort Cards) to refill my life to continue the chain, Refilling my life even more, and you get the point. At that point i can use my massive lead to decimate my opponents, keeping Rise of the Dark Realms as insurance against board wipes.
Really? because in the last 20 Standard games I've played, all of them where my opponent had red in their deck had lava coil in those decks. The only other removal card I've seen is the aforementioned Chandra's Truimph. In commander though i can agree, i don't see it at all.
I'm not going to nerf it though, since this is a multiplayer format. That was an error on my part.
The card itself isn't a problem, rather the fact that almost no one plays anything else right now. The only other card that I've seen is Chandra's Triumph in Decks running Chandra. The Card itself is perfectly fine.
Sorry, I need to kick the habit of thinking like its a 1v1. In a multiplayer format, yes, Lava coil is fine. I was just a bit sick of seeing it every single game.
so yeah, 2 card will likely be more for cards that are oppressive.
The problem with that is that lava coil is an uncommon, which would warrant 3 copies, while Dreadhorde Invasion (An Amass necessity) is a rare, which would only warrant 2
i will try to make the lists not to long, keeping most cards in the 4 of
I will keep Variance in mind when issuing the card Restrictions, an example is how i am going to nerf Lava coil to two copies since it does its job better than most over Removal cards.
also, after looking over your comment i realized that 4 groups was confusing so i decided to simplify things
group 1: 4 cards (90% of cards)
group 2: 2 cards (cards that overshadow other cards)
group 3: 1 card (Legendaries)

Never played modern before, so i wouldn't know anything about it.
The reason i am asking this in this thread is that i am making a mono black Demon deck and would like to save some money if i can, and if shadowborn gets a reprint, then i can save myself 70$.
Here's the deck in case anyone is wondering
https://www.mtgsalvation.com/decks/12689-40-life-is-a-lot-to-work-with-krrik-son-of
and, yes. i am aware that shadowborn was not a theros card. I was playing during this time. It just always seemed like a theros Card to me, plus it would work great if Devotion comes back.
So, yeah. This is my first non-Preconstructed Deck for commander.
Looking for two things:
Reduce the price:
I already have:
lands (duh)
Rise of the Dark Realms
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
Sanguine Bond
K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth
Staff of the Death Magus
Diabolic tutor
Gray Merchant of asphodel
The Eldest Reborn
Shadowborn apostle (X2)
any cards that have Cheaper alternatives?
