So what is your current meta? I'm facing niv mizzet control/combo, teferi control/combo, grenzo combo, and thrasios/tymna pod. Sometimes there are other decks but I most often play against these.

Extirpate is good grave hate, but I sometimes wish I had more removal. I also wonder if the land that is an engineered explosives on a stick would be better than the fountain. Sometimes those null rods n such are a bummer.

Do you mean Blast Zone ? Because I could see adding that into the mix. The only complication is that is yet another colourless source in a deck that needs to reliably assemble quickly and reliably.

My Meta varies, but is usually at least one Hulk deck, Teferi or Urza, Kess Storm, and then a rotating group of highly powered test decks that are trying out the latest commanders and tech.

Yes, blast zone. It just seems like it could deal with some of the artifact/enchantment based shutdown cards that are so annoying for black to handle. Would not that be more useful than Radiant Fountain if you're worried about too much colorless?

That's a good suggestion, thanks

Hello again,

I've been testing this list for a few weeks now, and I have to say that I find it very difficult to properly execute the doomsday combo. The dependency of the deck on the cheap cantrips to put the cards in your hand makes it even more situational than it would otherwise be, and some of the combos are already pretty large and hard to align.

I think you need more ways to get the cards in your hand. I sort of like infernal contract/cruel bargain, although they can be high risk (to say the least.)

Can you give any input on ways to better align the combos? Thanks for an interesting list.

Hey, thanks for writing.

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to playtest the list and to me, it's theory crafting. In your experience with it, what do you think would work to smooth out the problem to describe? I know Bolas' Citadel could be one solution and other instant card draw spells would be my first instinct.

Anyone else have ideas or input?

How do you use LED here?

Citadel + reservoir + divining top is infinite as well for a doomsday pile, tap top, recast thro citadel, tap, recast etc etc.

Nvm, thats just infinite for a non doomsday win, my mistake , you'll kill urself in a doomsday pile

for these combos you need an extra card draw spell in hand to get citadel right? or am i missing something?

How does contamination work in here I don’t see any lock?

No lock necessary. Just Contaminate and disrupt the opponents

I run Heartless Summoning with Walking Ballista and Mikeaus, the Unhallowed, as well as some redundancy in Triskelion and Kaervek, the Spiteful. I also have Citadel, Top, and Aetherflux in the deck, but my primary combo is Summoning-Ballista-Mike, since 2/3 of it is easily recurrable, and the enchantment is less likely to be removed if it sticks

Hello

wasn't updated in a while. I assume Feed the Swarm is an auto-include?

Also I do not understand the synergy of Blood Celebrant. Would you mind to explain?

unwucht blood celebrant is a way to pay more mana for spells that you can’t pay with kriik or reduce otherwise. It lets you pay three life instead of two for one black mana which can be spent on anything. That’s at least the bare bones of it

Ah, ofc. You can pay the generic mana costs with three life per mana. Also, Hatred is not an option for you?

is Jeweled Lotus viable here? over say the lotus petal?

Tendrils of Agony and Mox Amber seem like solid inclusions to me? Tendrils can just gain you a bunch more life to keep the chain going, and Mox Amber will always be active with Krrik out.

Good suggestions. This deck hasn't been updated in ages. Thanks!

I saw that, but I'm starting to make my own K'rrik deck, and yours has been a good help!

oh glad to hear it!
