Hey all, I've got some grim news about this deck. Thanks to the card prices rising, most of what I wanted to do with this deck; I just can't anymore.
With notable losses like Phyrexian Devourer, Nim Deathmantle, Hermit Druid, Mindslicer, Crypt Ghast
, Dictate of Erebos, Deadbridge Chant, and Buried Alive; it's a lot harder to try and win with this deck anymore. A lot of the "soul" of the deck still remains, but a lot of the cards that were lost were very important to either stabilizing or winning the game.
Not to mention that there are so many other good cards in the $2-$5 range that this deck would love, like Living Death, Golgari Grave-Troll, Lightning Greaves, Phyrexian Arena, Necromancy, Eternal Witness, and Traverse the Ulvenwald are all cards that barely didn't get a chance to make it into this deck.
That isn't even touching on the multiple amazing cards that are over $5, such as Reanimate, Lord of Extinction, Life from the Loam, Greater Good, Grave Pact, Sheoldred, Whispering One, and all of the good lands would just make this deck so much better than it is now (duh).
All that ranting was basically me trying to say that this deck by far has been gutted pretty badly due to price spikes in cards that were in the deck. My other decks have lost cards here and there too, but usually the cards that are lost are minimal or have slightly less efficient counterparts. This deck lost a win condition (Phyrexian Devourer), 3 amazing ways to self-mill (Buried Alive, Hermit Druid, and Deadbridge Chant), ramp (Crypt Ghast), a good recursion piece Nim Deathmantle, and two pieces of incredibly efficient removal (Dictate of Erebos and Mindslicer). Some of those cards I have been able to find okay replacements for (like swapping out Dictate of Erebos for Butcher of Malakir), but the power level of the deck has dropped significantly.
So I'm basically down to 4 options at this point: 1) Keep doing what I've been doing and try and make Jarad work in 2DH with minor tweaks here and there. 2) Remodel the deck entirely with new win conditions or maybe even a new commander; but keep it 2DH. 3) Upgrade the deck and make it normal EDH. 4) Scrap the deck entirely.
Number 4 might sound a little drastic but I really only want to sink money into a commander that I really love, and I don't know if I really love Jarad as a commander. I also don't like taking half-measures, so I wouldn't want to just add in the cards that I originally had that went over $2; I'd want to also buy the other cards I mentioned too.
Anyways, there's my rant. I wanted to make sure that ya'll knew what was going on and maybe why this deck hasn't gotten a lot of attention lately or why it seems so weak with so many upvotes. I'm doing my best to try and salvage the deck, but I think I'm either going to have to streamline it hardcore or get really creative.
