Hey, no problem. I've always seen Remora draw 2-3 cards if like 7 mana is dumped into it, and that's my issue, really. So much mana invested for such little return because it basically/almost says "opponents can't cast noncreature spells unless they REALLY need to". Also, of the two you mentioned, I'd say Phyrexian Arena is definitely worth an inclusion when/if you happen to get one.

I like to compare Grim Tutor to transmute because of the similar effects/costs if you have enough variety in that particular cmc in the deck. Getting a Grim Tutor is definitely a feat in commander, lol.

Anyways, here are my lists for counterspells, board wipes, draw permanents, and tutors (remember, transmute): MagicalHacker - List of All Counterspells, MagicalHacker - List of All Board Wipes, MagicalHacker - List of All Draw Spells (Steady), and MagicalHacker - List of All Tutors.

Best of luck!

Also In addition, I thought of a funny name for a Merieke deck, and you can use it (not sure if it's already been thought of, but oh well).

You won't be able to Berit

I'm 90% sure it's lame, but it's worth a shot.

It's not bad lol. I don't think I will use it. The names are something I try to come up with. Have not put too much thought in this one. Not sure if I will or not.

The local shop has a few people that want to "house ban" it. Others really hate it. So I stopped playing it there, and mainly play it with my friends. It is not like I was playing it against precons. They use duals, and FoW, and all that stuff. I use the commander as a complement to control rather then a theme. I play against lots of tucks.

I made an all black deck, and recently picked up a pretty beat up arena, but was hoping I could find another one to trade for to put in here. This deck is double sleeved so I try to keep things nice in here.

That really is a great name hacker. Wish I thought of that one lol. A new name is something I do want to come up with here. The name is currently not a good one.

Naming things has never been my strong suit really

Condemn and oblation on the way out. Gotta think what I need here. Really wish I owned some paths. Prob add one more counter, and dismember.

Haha, Nice.

Very solid all around.

I love Reality Shift and Cannibalize in my Oona deck, I would like to suggest them to you, but you have access to white so you probably don't need them. I mention them because Iona is a big thing in my group, so removal more or less has to be in several different colors.

Very true. I have been losing white, and need to get a couple more in there. Path being the main one. I should pick up some Reality shifts for all my EDH decks, thanks for the reminder. Been a while since I have gotten cards.

Impressive
