just a tip, to prevent getting double suggestions since not everyone reads previous comments you can put the cards you want but don't currently have for the deck in the maybeboard section that being said Increasing Confusion is pretty flavorful and fits with the deck

How about Tasigur's Cruelty in place of Monomania?

Mesmeric Orb in place of the Obelisk. The Orb is an insane milling Engine.

Why use Greed, when you can use Erebos, God of the Dead and hose on other Lifegain. Let the feelig of Despair wash over your enemies, as Cthulhu desires.

Spinal Embrace could help you if it were a Corrupted Conscience, Extract from Darkness, or Lord of the Void (who has a fitting name here).

I can't help thinking you could use a lot more ramp or cheating in here for those huge beasts you got there. For ramp, I like Chromatic Lantern Gilded Lotus Druidic Satchel, Armillary Sphere

For cheating or recycling, I like Animate Dead, Quicksilver Amulet, Extract from Darkness, Mimic Vat, etc.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Lets Wrexial's Swampwalk hit anyone. Other good 'duals' are Tainted Isle and Drowned Catacomb, maybe a Watery Grave

Hope this helps. Giving you a Lovecraftian +1 from a big fan of the mill archetype, and a fellow UB player.

Hedonist's Trove and Whelming Wave could work in here.

hedonist's trove is amazing, but I have too many off-type for whelming wave >.< thanks for the input!

Mindleech Mass ....very expensive for what it do. And Mesmeric Orb is awesome, it can be a win con on its own against tokens, or green decks that vomit all their permanents out. At a minimum you get to stock the yard for your recursion effects....like a boss...

orb has been suggested a lot xD I don't like straight milling, I like the milling as a bonus, just some salt in the wound, mindleech mass is an incredibly low price for playing my opponents hand, that is my absolute favorite thing to do, but thank you for the input :3

Looks fun. Have you considered adding Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Filth to take advantage of your commanders ability and poke some more damage through with your of creatures.

hekjek says... #11

I traded away all my tombs, but I know somebody who has filth, that's definitely an amazing strategy xD I think I'll try to throw that in there, thanks!

Urborg rotates out here soon, buy it back for cheap... ;)

I didn't even know, awesome, thanks xD

Spreading Seas would work with your commander

Aqueous Form too. make sure you land hits.

I would run Bojuka Bog because you could actually be speeding up re-animator decks.

I would also cut Tomb of the Spirit Dragon, Transguild Promenade, Unknown Shores, Vivid Creek, Vivid Marsh, Shimmering Grotto, and Rupture Spire in favor of basic lands: you don't have any colorless creatures really and the others come in tapped/require 1 to use. Since you're using two colors you're more likely to have the amount you need on the field so there is no need to slow yourself down.

hekjek says... #17

you're totally right x.x I probably have cut most of those in the paper version already, I just take forever to edit my decks on here xD

I really like what your doing with this deck. Th mix of Demons, Krakens, and Leviathans is very flavorfull and how it plays by milling "Making your opponents lose thier minds" and then using what they mill against them is very Lovecraftian. You may have just inspired my next deck. Just some ideas for other cards that I think could help the deck.

Harvester of Souls You are playing a lot of bigger guys who will win in trades so he is more card draw.

Languish Kills almost all tokens, any hatebear, andl eaves your wincons alive and well.

Reaper from the Abyss It's EDH. By the time you play this guy there should be a creature or two dying every turn.

Silent-Blade Oni May not be the most flavorful with the card art but its a very Cthulhu-esque idea. Not only do they discard the spell but you steal it then and there.

Hope the suggestions help you out and good luck with the deck. This will beo ne to watch.

Verstaka I love all of them, silent blade oni would be in here months ago but he's out of my price range unfortunately :/ I'm not too familiar with the new pack "origins" but languish does look like a good fit :o I love the other two demons and will definitely be squeezing them in xD but the only problem is with the new zendikar pack coming out, and me being absolutely senile for eldrazis, this deck is gonna see a couple of huge changes as soon as I get my hands on some of those wriggly monsters >.< my only reason for currently not running any is that there just wasn't enough and they had no synergy in here x.x thanks for the input! :3

Jace's Mindseeker, Diluvian Primordial, and Chancellor of the Spires all came to mind when I read your deck. I was surprised to not find a single on in your list, though.

August 24, 2015 4:15 a.m.

hekjek says... #21

they're both being used in a different, and to me more fitting, deck: Let Me Borrow That and I only have one copy of each, but the third guy I've just never heard of xD

August 24, 2015 7:24 a.m.

hekjek says... #22

I'm also going for a more sinister air, and both of those are very neutral in flavor

Jace's Phantasm and Mesmeric Fiend seem really low impact; a 5/5 flyer isn't a big deal in commander, even if it only costs one mana, and Mesmeric Fiend is probably just going to die and give their card back. Also Dissipate seems to go against your theme of putting stuff in the graveyard; Discombobulate might be better and is definitely more fun to say :P

hekjek says... #24

I try to keep an even ratio of high and low costs, in my circle I get hit a lot in the early game x.x but you may be right, I might just switch them out, and I will definitely be trading dissipate for discombobulate, I love that card xD
