How do you get Erebos back?

@angelofdivinity well in that case, why not just run call the bloodline? keep abbey, I would even say 3 abbey 3 fe, use 2 call the bloodline in place of 2 warping wail. for 1, it generates tokens to trade those 1 toughness you're trying to kill, it's generally used as a madness outlet, but in your case you're going to need a delirium outlet, which it does just as effectively, which boosts both to the slaughter and pick the brain to game-changing cards, and it has the potential to flip Abbey into Ormendahl if the game pushes that way.

@CapitonMurfish Usually I don't, but usually I don't need to.

@mlssufan01 An interesting idea, but it feels a bit unwieldy. I feel like the utility of Warping Wail, being able to knock both power & toughness 1-, (Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  ^Flip?) as well as counter sorceries and produce 1/1s like Call the Bloodline that also sac for mana makes it a better choice, plus you have to throw more cards at Call the Bloodline.

As an aside, I went first place yesterday.

maybe one remorseless punishment

love the background and love how evil this deck is. simply +1 :)))

go check out my deck http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/mono-green-hulk-smash-budget/

So, I want some input on something: I have some quandaries about what colorless lands I should be using. Here's a list of the ones I'm considering and why:

Caves of Koilos: Produces black mana in a pinch.

Westvale Abbey  ^Flip: Produces blockers late game? Problem is usually by late game if I'm still alive I have control, and let's face it, I am never going to flip him up. Ever.

Sea Gate Wreckage: If I were in a pinch where Westvale would be nice, I'd rather spend less mana to simply draw a card..... So this is probably better?

Or

Mirrorpool: I honestly don't know, but I mean, it's a mythic so.... it's probably good? Throwing out an extra kill spell could save the day? Or an extra Reality Smasher?

And as an aside, Blighted Fen isn't on this list because it's a definite 4-of. But then I have at least 4 other slots that I want to be able to produce colorless. I would love some input about this. Thank you!

Mirrorpool has been rather excellent in every deck I've played it in to date. Maybe as a 1-2 of, but I think the Enters Tapped Clause makes it a bit worse as just a land. The effect is the entire reason you run the card (It also synergizes well with Remorseless Punishment if you've got the busload of mana required to use both).

Sea Gate Wreckage Might be good in a pinch. Probably not great if you've got Ob Nixilis Reignited, or Read the Bones already drawing all the cards for you.

Then Caves of Koilos is pretty much the same thing. Fine in a pinch, but if you could, I wouldn't run it. I'd honestly just run Wastes in the slot there if you need the Colorless that badly.

And let's just forget all about Westvale Abbey  ^Flip. The 5 mana for a 1/1 is not worth it.

I guess I'll try Mirrorpool then. Though I do have to disagree with you point of wastes being better than Caves of Koilos, I mean unless you're running Walker of the Wastes or one of the like 3-4 cards that specifically benefit off wastes, caves is still strictly better, either one enters untapped and doesn't have to pay life for colorless mana, but whereas you can pay life into Caves for black you can't with Wastes.

Thank you as always Errast. In fact, you know what, take a look in the description at about 5:37.

very interesting deck

So I'm having a bit of trouble putting all the points I was going to try and make into coherent sentences, so I'll just do it in jot notes, and hope you understand what I mean. Feel free to ask me to clarify anything here.

-Stuff like Narset Transcendent,Jace, Unraveler of Secrets, and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar are begging to be run with Oath of Jace/Oath of Gideon in tow.

-Dispel, Great against Bant Company.

-Drowner of Hope/Archangel Avacyn  ^Flip/Archangel of Tithes, for sweet, control-like cards.

-Always Watching seems pretty decent in a control deck with Dragonlord Ojutai (and Archangel of Tithes.

-Port Town, because Port Town.

-Warping Wail if you can get the Landbase for it.

And that's all folks. I'm sure I'll be back with some brilliantly garbage card for this deck, like Myth Realized or something. Otherwise, I think the deck looks splendid, and I wish you the best of luck in Standard.

Oh thank you Errast, somehow I had not until now seen your comment.

Narset seems lackluster in here, I had her in originally since she is blue & white and a planeswalker, didn't even think about it until I realized that this really isn't like my normal control decks, in fact I'd call this midrange, and I do not have nearly as many noncreature nonland cards as I usually do. I in fact have 0 instants and only 3 sorceries, which is really unusual for me haha. As far as Jace & Gideon go, Jace is a maybe but Gideon is too expensive, but given the chance I would absolutely trade for him, which, as it happens, is the same reason I don't have Avacyns in here; I would love to, but I prefer not to spend that much on cards I could trade for.

And as for Archangel of Tithes, she is really good but there's only what... 3 or 4 more FNMs of her being standard? Plus I'm going to be spending the bottom end of this week with my girlfriend in another city, so I probably would, but at this point this deck is getting into rotation mode.

Yes. Port Town. I had had Evolving wilds because land in graveyard for Delirium...... but then I realized I didn't have any Delirium.... and felt kind of silly and replaced those.

Sorry it took me three days to even see your comment; I chanced to see it by scrolling down to look at the new background I put on the deck. And I'll put those other cards in the maybeboard & consider them.

LOL I made a very similar deck to this one. Angel of lost fortune

With Eternal Scourge as a 4-of (and tutorable) in the main board, you may want to consider Skysovereign, Consul Flagship as half removal, half win-con. With Lost Legacy to pull your Scourge's out of the deck, and the fact that they're nigh-on unremovable, makes them an excellent pilot for the Consul's Flagship.

That's a good idea, thanks. Dropped a Gearhulk for it.

I'd probably drop a Harsh Scrutiny or two instead, as they end up dead in the late game, where Skysovereign shines.

I read the name and instantly thought " a king macar edh deck?"

I read the name and instantly thought " a king macar edh deck?"

Hah, nah. My standard control deck that has evolved over the last like year & a half.

I'm building a deck that is heavily inspired by this deck to face off against my highly competitive friends. Could you explain how each card interacts with either the opponent or the player piloting the deck?

Uh it isn't really complicated. Removal to kill things, small amount of disruption in the main with more in the side (I can never decide what I think of main versus side decking disruption...) and a few wincons. Mortuary Mire is in because it usually won't hurt the deck & getting back a threat can matter big time. Lost Legacy is usually cast on self unless there's an obvious target, usually hits your own Eternal Scourge since they're all but impossible to deal with (And another Mortuary Mire target). Skysovereign is in because it's the perfect vehicle with all the recurring Scourges which also is removal in itself (same as Gearhulk).

for the side (still in flux): Flaying Tendrils and Harsh Scrutiny come in against Aggro, the rest will usually come in against midrange-control.

This deck... is shit

this deck is complete ass. you are playing mono black and you aren't even running your best card in your color, Liliana, the Last Hope.You're as ass as your deck, if that's even possible which i don't see that being a viable possibility

there's an actual deck.
