I'm guessing that you have Karn, the Great Creator in the deck to be able to help your black deck destroy artifacts. If that's the case, have you considered adding in Karn, Silver Golem as well as more mana rock removal?

I was also wondering if you've considered adding in Champion of Stray Souls ? He can bring back many creatures at once and potentially help you recover from a board wipe.

budlaorf: Champion of Stray Souls is just ridiculously mana-intensive and doesn't do enough to justify its inclusion at the moment, honestly. Sorta the same with Karn: his 1-sided Null Rod is extremely powerful, and he lets me turn things into creatures which I can kill pretty easily.

How about an Arcane Lighthouse for those pesky hexproof and shroud creatures?

budlaorf: Hasn't been in an issue in my meta yet, but if it becomes one I'll add that :)

have you thought of adding Rings of Brighthearth?

revmon: Not in particular; what are you thinking to do with it?

YAWG'S A DADDY NOW!

Unsure if this is going in, though. Goes infinite with Vilis without needing Yawg, which is a plus, but the deck can already be tight on life...

Daedalus19876: yog triggers twice for half the cost, so now he reads,

2 Pay 1 life, Sacrifice another creature: Put a -1/-1 counter up to two target creatures and draw two card.

BB2 Discard a card: Proliferate twice.

but let me now if im wrong

Daedalus19876 says... #10

revmon: You're factually correct on the rules, but I don't want to pay an extra 2 to activate his first ability (the much more common one).

Put another way, I'd almost always rather "Pay 2 life, sac 2 creatures" than "Pay and 1 life, sac 1 creature" in this deck, because mana is exceedingly tight when storming off (which is the goal).

I don't feel like Bloodline Keeper is fast enough. It's slow and takes multiple turns to take advantage of. I feel that an ETB or on cast token production would be better.

First off I wanna say nice kewl deck, I like it. I saw you mentioned mana being tight and I run a small combo to make some mana with my Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip deck that might help, although it involves many cards you would need to add. Liliana of the Dark Realms gets you a Swamp every turn, Lake of the Dead , tap said Swamp and Lake of the Dead and get 5x each turn. With this combo you'd wanna also be running Crucible of Worlds in case Liliana of the Dark Realms gets blown-up. And you already run Expedition Map. Also Twisted Abomination is good for Swampcycling and getting a Swamp in hand. Also because you can destroy opponents creatures pretty well Sangromancer might be a worthy addition. And you some discard effect's for your opponents so Geth's Grimoire might be a worthy addition just a thought but you really don't need as Yawg and Vilis add more than enough card draw. Anyways best regards and GL TheAnswerer

Rant: You are probably correct, alas. He came out for Whip of Erebos , which I want to test.

Daedalus19876 says... #15

TheAnswerer: I've tried Lake of the Dead here before and never liked it, honestly. Liliana of the Dark Realms has been in and out forever, though: I can reasonably hit her emblem, and it gives me a huge amount of mana to cast everything I want... I'm afraid that Geth's Grimoire is a bit too situational, though. I'm trying Whip of Erebos for life gain, we'll see how that goes...

Really cool version of this deck. I'm working on one myself and you're curve is far lower. I can tell you've really refined it to something special. Thanks.

September 27, 2019 6:57 p.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #17

Destrado: Thank you! I appreciate the kind words, it's definitely one of my favorite projects in recent memory ;) If you have any questions about deck choices etc, just tag me on your Yawg list and I'll try to give you my thoughts!

Heya...it seems that I've already upvoted your deck. One suggestion I would make is to maybe swap Final Parting with Beseech the Queen .

September 29, 2019 8:29 p.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #19

Enral: Yeah that happens a lot TBH. Why that swap? Final Parting is less a tutor and more a “3BBB: Tutor Vilis into play and draw 8, lose 8”.

September 29, 2019 8:35 p.m.

Enral says... #20

Oh I didn't see that line...makes sense now. It's just that beseech is a 3 mana tutor early game for lower cmc stuff to smooth out early game draws for me.

Great deck! Looks very sleek. I noticed Ashnod’s / Deathmantle are in your primer but not in the deck’s mainboard. Was the combo not performing well or did you just find it an unnecessary additional win condition?

September 30, 2019 4:01 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #22

ZebraEDH: Thanks! It just ended up being unnecessary? I never used it to win, and Deathmantle in particular wasn’t really useful outside the combo. It got the axe, but I need to update my Priner with that change.

Solid deck I'll review it more when I get home. I am commenting on yours since the guy before you on advertise didn't.

Daedalus19876 says... #24

Whitehamma: Aww, thanks! ;) Much appreciated, do you have something you want me to take a look at in exchange?

September 30, 2019 6:37 p.m.

MtgSalt says... #25

Daedalus19876 well you commented on my K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth deck before, maybe you can pop in and see the changes. Added some of the cards you had mentioned, and ended up making a turn 1 combo.

Hey check out my deck 2 Demons 1 K'rrik or Hey check out my deck Wurm Tribal-Mono Green cEDH

If you feel like it
