Gonti Steal Some Spells

Commander / EDH Mono-Black

Groovemancer


Maybeboard


Get lots o'mana. Steal spells. Cast stolen spells with lots o'mana. Lots o'card draw. Some tutoring. Just some good black stuff.

I've only played a few games with this, and so far it's been great, though there were a few cards that have been swapped out since I've played it as I was waiting for some cards to arrive in the mail.

Deck can have very explosive turns. For example:

Played a test match against another deck of mine. In my game winning turn, I attached a Helm of the Host to a Crypt Ghast , then used Strionic Resonator on the Helm's trigger to create 2 Crypt Ghast tokens. Had Cabal Coffers and Urborg in play so suddenly I'm getting at least 4 black mana per land, plus all the mana from Coffers. I spent all that mana by casting all black permanents in my hand. I had 20+ cards in hand due to a huge Decree of Pain board wipe in the previous turn (23 creatures destroyed). The game winning blow was casting Gray Merchant of Asphodel (hence casting all my black permanents) with my Panharmonicon in play, totaling 15 life lost/gained per trigger.

Maybe Board isn't just cards I'm debating on including, there's also some cards in there that I've removed from the deck to make room for others. I haven't done it yet, as I don't have a copy of it yet, but I was probably going to pull Marionette Master and put in maybe Archfiend of Despair This deck started off as a ~$60 budget deck and I've since swapped some cards in and out.

Additional maybe cards: Author of Shadows, Cunning Rhetoric
