So could this deck be good for Free for All?

pryoplasm: Oh my, $0.18 TCG low! Yes, this is definitely something worth adding! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Probably wouldn't use Zulaport Cutthroat because its a human.

So you won't use a great utility card because... it won't have undying

mw2noobbuster: The deck is made for free for all, not 1v1, so definitely.

Poprox: As spencerbot said, this card isn't run to be sacced, but to win us the game with a sac outlet in play.

Bu thats the thing. In order to have that guy go off, you already need to have an infinite sac outlet. You now require 3-4 cards to trigger an infinite when all you would need with something else is 2-3. If you have an infinite sac, i'd much rather play Essence Harvest, or swing.

Poprox: Why in the world would you rather have Essence Harvest? The Essence Harvest kills one opponent, the Cutthroat kills ALL your opponents.

So, I am confused on how this deck can go infinite. I understand the Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Blasting Station + Tatterkite combo, due to tatterkite not being able to obtain counters, but what about the rest that use -1/-1 counters? I really don't understand having those then sacking them makes them come back because don't they have a +1/+1 counter on them? It will pretty much cancel the -1/-1 effect, but aren't the counters still there? I want to get into EDH and I thought this would be a great deck, I just want to understand how it works :)

Kobra: Hey, +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters DO cancel each other out! Which includes removing the counters.

As for making this as your first EDH deck, I ask you to proceed with caution, as EDH is a social format and not everyone enjoys playing against this deck.

In a month or so there will be coming out 5 new commander preconstructed decks, you might want to wait and check those out! (Or build this in the meantime).

That's true, i havn't thought about that. When i saw this deck i thought it was great, purchased it, and had full intention to use it consistantly but i find people will only let me use it in 1v1 matches so thats my mindset with this deck. :P

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it, and I'm probably going to pick up the new commanders coming out, so hyped!!!!

Falkenrath Torturer is another sac outlet with flying

October 12, 2015 6:46 p.m.

Ayle says... #15

Falkenrath Torturer doesn't work, because you need NON-Humans to sac so they get undying from Mikaeus, the Unhallowed.

Sleazebag says... #16

redchance: As Ayle said, it doesn't work in this deck unfortunately.

If i had an extra say, 50 USD to spend on this deck, what should i upgrade first ?

October 13, 2015 8:05 p.m.

bah-bammmm says... #18

Vampiric Tutor is a great upgrade.

October 13, 2015 8:07 p.m.

Sleazebag says... #19

Chemtails: Sol Ring, Blasting Station, Cabal Coffers, Contamination, Necropotence, Demonic Tutor.

October 13, 2015 8:19 p.m.

Why is necropotence in there? im not that used to black EDh,(at all) what does it do? also, what do i raplace them with?

October 14, 2015 5:44 p.m.

Sleazebag says... #21

Chemtails: Necropotence says "At the end of your turn, lose 10 life, draw 10 cards, exile all cards you don't need (down to 7), start your next turn with a perfectly sculpted hand to combo off" for BBB.

October 14, 2015 6:06 p.m.

Fair enough, That would do the job. why leaden myr and jewled ammulet ?also, what do i upgrade commanders sphere with?

October 14, 2015 6:25 p.m.

Kobra says... #23

I have a spare sol ring and I think it would fit fine in this deck. What should I replace?

Daedalus19876 says... #24

Out of curiosity, is Mikaeus included in the price of the deck?

I ask because I've been playing with my own variation on super-budget EDH, and I have a graveyard-based combo list that's ALMOST as cheap as yours, haha.
