This is the first deck I’ve seen here with the caretaker at the helm that is not a shadowborn apostle deck. Great job. +1 from me.

Couple questions if these were just oversights or you chose not to play them specifically....

Blood Artist Falkenrath Noble Deadeye Tracker Dark Prophecy Midnight Reaper

These are mostly additions to card effects that you have but they are certainly powerful.

Some of your suggestions I have looked into, mostly the reasons for them not in the deck currently is, I only post cards that I own in the deck. Blood Artist is a card that I know I need to have in there, and Midnight Reaper seems pretty legit.

The main thing that this deck needs is a more obvious wincon. As it stands it can hold its own for a while but I have nothing to really finish someone off with.

Makes sense. It really depends on how you want to win I suppose. Other than Exsanguinate you can do something like Torment of Hailfire flooding a bunch of mana into it or if you want to build around durdling, you can put together a Revel in Riches + Pitiless Plunderer combo with all of your sac outlets.

That Pitiless Plunderer looks pretty good. kinda works like Eldrazi Smothering Abomination.

only this creature can be killed and brought back... Very nice.

Ah this type of deck takes me back to good times, my good friend used to play a pretty degenerate Shirei deck.

Here might be some cards you can consider using:

Hope that helps!

Thank you for all the idea's! There is definitely a few cards there that I want to put in this deck. I have placed them in the Maybeboard.

Cool deck bro. Definitely needs more ways to double your Mana and ways to use that Mana to finish people off. Doubling your Mana is something that black is very good at. If you want some cool ideas, go to my deck list and check out my Ghoulcaller Gisa deck. You might find it to be similar to yours in a lot of ways. Either way, great job. Definitely got a +1 from me!

Thank you! I did look at your deck. very nice! and I did notice some of your mana doublers. Bubbling Muck would work in a pinch.

Butcher of Malakir is a Grave Pact on a stick, even if it isn't a 1/1. Speaking of, Grave Pact would slot in nicely.

Kholek says... #13

Butcher of Malakir is already in the deck. and I haven't come across a Grave Pact yet to put it in. but I totally agree.

Mausoleum Secrets is great. You can easily get a bunch of creatures in your graveyard for this spell because they come back anyway. Desecrated Tomb works well with your commander. Deathgreeter likes it when things die.

Bone Shredder kills himself off with echo while continuously killing off other creatures. Eliminate the Competition and Malicious Affliction also give you more kill spells.

And why not? You can use Meekstone , too.

Wow, this list is badass. Only recommendation is Snuff Out in place of Doom Blade

Kholek says... #16

Thank you for your suggestions. I will definitely look into them more and see what would fit and what I can take out. Snuff Out hmm. I will look for this card.. and Meekstone id right up my alley

I think Heartless Summoning has a place in here if the goal is to abuse ETB and ETG effects. You can even run Vedalken Orrery to get the maximum effect out of them to create utter lockdown/chaos. I always had an appreciation for Black Cat +1 from me amigo!

Both of though's cards would be very nice in this deck... I will have to place an order thank you for the idea's

Kholek maybe use Sacrifice ? I know not many of your creatures have high cmc's but it seems like a good fit here. cool deck.

May 7, 2019 4:13 p.m.

Kholek says... #20

For black I can see where Sacrifice could be a "OH SHIT!!! I need more mana" card. I will see if I can find this and see if there is a place for it.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Cool list! wanted to make something with my failed apostle deck, now I know what to do

Phyrexian Reclamation as a second Volrath's Stronghold ??

and maybe Vampiric Rites for a more repeatable card draw, otherwise, looks fine & dandy

May 8, 2019 8:26 a.m.

Kholek says... #22

Phyrexian Reclamation is a card I would love to get my hands on.

as for Vampiric Rites I'ts really not that great of a card anymore. with the new cards coming out. Priest of the Forgotten Gods . this card Is a jack of all trades.

thank you for your suggestions.

May 8, 2019 12:43 p.m.

Need more ways to finish the game you say? Why not Torment of Hailfire with mana doublers and ashnods alter to sac your creatures for more mana.

May 10, 2019 2:14 a.m.

Kholek says... #24

I really should put that card in there huh... thank you i'll place it in in the maybe board till I can get my hands on it.

Thanks

No problem, I actually built a Shirei deck awhile back, but took it apart. Seeing this though makes me want to go back to it. I still have it on my profile if you wanna give it a look.
