inb4 someone says "Phage kills you".

Im waiting for that too

If you play a deck like this all someone has to do is play any instant artifact destroyer like Smelt on your Torpor Orb when your about to cast Phage the Untouchable and you will lose the game. Very risky deck

Its very risky, but its one of those decks which just fears a few cards like Mindslaver and Krosan Grip and sometimes even Living Death but yeah, its fears any instant speed artifact removal which is why i got Thrull Wizard , if i know for a fact that someone is holding artifact removal just to kill me, i go head and just counter my own phage and return her to my hand from the grave

You make some good points to defend your deck. And either way the deck is good and can win without Phage the Untouchable . My final suggestion will be add Argentum Armor since it can remove pesky enchantments and artifacts that may be hard to get rid of (not to mention any kind of permanent). I understand why you would want a commander that can kill someone in one hit.

Yeah, This deck was just to prove to my friends & my local playgroup that a Phage the Untouchable deck isnt a terrible idea. The pure number of tutor cards that black has is really what makes the deck viable. I really need to add Cruel Tutor , Demonic Tutor , and Vampiric Tutor In place of some other cards (Namely Cower in Fear , Dimir Machinations , and Shrieking Affliction ) for that extra "Im getting phage out turn 5 power" (Which has been done before, and it scares the living hell out of everyone)

Phage the Untouchable Is not a good general choice because of its ability. When you cast a general It does not come from your hand It is casted from the general zone. This will cause you to loose the game.

Don't you think i already know that? See: Torpor Orb Platinum Angel Sundial of the Infinite and Thrull Wizard

If you have hexmage, you can play Dark Depths too. :)

I want to play Dark Depths But the whole thing is, Is my Captain Sissy done right Deck needs one first. And they are like 20$ each. so, right now, thats a big no.

i have 3 extraneous Dark Depths that i'd be willing to trade you. also Damnation would be nice, but again that's 25 bucks. i had 2 extra, but i just sold them. soooo. good luck with that one :P Mutilate and card:Black Sun's Zenith will do you just fine though, and they get around indestructibility. sorry, voltron.

also, i was going to jokingly put "lol ur dum fage kills u bro" but somebody already put that for real. so i apologize.

think about Mimic Vat . you can use it on phage if she dies and you have a Torpor Orb , you can use it on Rune-Scarred Demon to have a 3-mana tutor every turn, or you can use it on Massacre Wurm for a 3-mana boardsweep every turn, you know. it's pretty damn versatile, especially when you have all the tutors that you do.

Mimic Vat Has been in my mind, but the whole thing is, im trying to stay away from ETB effects in this deck. Some are good, dont get me wrong, But i want Torpor Orb to not be a negative thing to me as much as possible. And i dont see me using Mimic on anything that doesnt have an etb effect. and as you said, i have a lot of tutors, so i normally get Torpor orb on the field any time from turns 2-5

Damnation is a good thought, but it is expensive, and i can live without it

Massacre Wurm is one of those ETB creatures and i dont wanna get to heavy on, and which i believe i have too much of already.

if you could figure out how to give Torpor Orb phasing, you could still use etb.

Seems way too complicated. especially in mono black. Lets stick to the "Kill everything and everyone" Mentality

haha, good plan. do you have a trade binder, and would you consider trading something for a Dark Depths ?

Grave Betrayal and Homeward Path are hilarious together.

There's a black counterspell in Planar Chaos. Could be useful.It's something like "Counter target unless it's controller pays 5 life".I think it's risky, but fun.Maybe you could control your opponent's actions with some discard cards.Duress , Thoughtseize or even a Cabal Interrogator could be useful to get rid of some Naturalize or so.

Never been a fan of "discard one card" cantrips in edh, and this deck is no exception. it actually gets me nowhere.

The power of my commander is stupid. One hit kills. I dont even need to do anything BUT PLAY HER and shes ready to OTK. I think its fair play that someone can instant speed kill me if i try to play my commander. This is the essence of mono black, How much greedier can i get?

Dash Hopes for the above mentioned description. This deck is hilarious. I'm NuBbyThuMB and I approve of this win condition. +1

Filth has been one of my favorite cards for years. I use Brawn in my tree folk tribal. This deck is scary as hell, a proper black deck. Well done.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , Gauntlet of Power , and Darksteel Forge might be good additions at some point.

Really well done. +1

Imp's Mischief as another way to prevent instant removal on Torpor Orb . It can also be an anti-counterspell and turn someones removal against them.

Toxic Deluge is a good alternative to Damnation

one question is why cards like Dark Ritual aren't included? They enable you to do things a lot faster, which can be really important. There's others with additional costs like sacrificing creatures and stuff, but Dark Ritual is the first you should include if you plan to add some.

Profane Command is a great card for any black EDH deck, and Phage + Fear = win?

If you're playing Filth , maybe you should add Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth for better results.

To abuse Torpor Orb , I suggest cards like Phyrexian Dreadnought , Eater of Days and Leveler .

Hope I've helped you!
