King Macar, the Gold-Cursed - Mono-Black Control

King Macar

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Give me, says he (nor thought he ask'd too much),
That with my body whatsoe'er I touch,
Changed from the nature which it held of old,
May be converted into yellow gold.'"

Introduction

Attempting a mono-black control here, with heavy utilization of artifacts, metalcraft, affinity etc.

Basic strategy is to abuse King Macar with tapping and untapping effects, and making use of traditional mono-black ramp with assistance from the gold tokens to play a massive Exsanguinate or a bomb like Blightsteel Colossus

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The ready slaves prepare a sumptuous board,
Spread with rich dainties for their happy lord;
Whose powerful hands the bread no sooner hold,
But its whole substance is transformed to gold:"

Tapping/Untapping

Clock of Omens with a gold token available, can also add Silverskin Armor on Macar

Paradise Mantle + Umbral Mantle + King Macar, the Gold-Cursed

Puppet Strings + Krark-Clan Ironworks + King Macar, the Gold-Cursed

Silverskin Armor on Macar with Voltaic Key

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"O father Bacchus, I have sinn'd,' be cried,
And foolishly thy gracious gift applied;
Thy pity now, repeating, I implore,
O may I feel the golden plague no more!'"

Other Combos / Interactions / Win Conditions

Magus of the Coffers + Umbral Mantle/Sword of the Paruns into Consume Spirit /Exsanguinate/ Drain Life

Wound Reflection + Blood Tribute

Spine of Ish Sah + Priest of Yawgmoth

Amulet of Vigor + Orb of Dreams to trigger inspired creatures

Bit too unfair, but with any of the untapping combos and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Kormus Bell out, King Macar can also exile lands.

Musings

Any advice is welcome!

Not sure if it's worth adding transmute cards, they're in the maybeboard.

Feels like I need more focus on the control aspect too.
