But it has to connect and other than Rankle it doesn't have haste, so it has to survive a turn cycle, so I'll probably pass on that. Having to connect is not a problem with shadow, but it's true that it'll need to survive the turn cycle. Butcher of Malakir also comes to mind, if you want to play al...

Looks good! It's a bit light on removal though, you could maybe play Foul Renewal as creature removal? I'd also suggest Bedevil and the likes to be able to remove noncreature permanents. For reanimation, did you think of Makeshift Mannequin ? It might be better than Grim Return since you don't have ...

I updated my thread with my "final" deck list that I want to playtest for a while now. Great! I'll go take a look at it. I have 21 creatures in my list, so hopefully I can defend Lili for a while. Also, she pseudo-protects herself with the Zombie token she creates. And I already play Burg...

I'll run Deal instead of Jar, because of budget reasons. Also, I think Jar is a little overcosted. You don't want to activate it turn 5 when you just played it, so it is either a dead card in your hand or it gets removed in the turn cycle. Neither is fun. Ideally, my hand will be empty most of the ...

Dark Deal is also pretty awesome with Uba Mask , so maybe it's a budget option to Memory Jar . Memory Jar would fit in my budget, do you think running both would be a good idea? I'm a bit hesitant to run Dark Deal , since it's just card disadvantage if I don't have synergy pieces on the board. Anot...

Honestly, I'd play Ill-Gotten Gains more as a way to fill in effect density before relying on it as your primary strategy. As in if you need more of that type of effect--getting opponents back down to a low card count--the card is monetarily cheap right now for its effect. That's a good point. The ...

You can also play wheel effects and Commander has a lot of draw effects so megrim might not be a completely dead card. Hmm, how many of those wheel effects should I play? Memory Jar striked me as one of the best options since the players don't get to keep the cards. For other wheels, it will depend...

I was thinking of Rankle, Master of Pranks, Anvil of Bogardan and Geier Reach Sanitarium as those won't weaken our Rack effects.

I wouldn't want to play Megrim -effects in this deck, because at some point no one will have cards in hand to discard anymore. Opponents will play cards they draw immediately so they aren't discarded, so Megrim becomes a dead card. Yes, but I can see the other way around: if you don't put enough pr...

Memory Jar is a nice addition indeed. What are your thoughts about Uba Mask ? Your opponents won't have cards in hand after a while, so your Rack effects should trigger consistently. Hmm, it will reinforce Rack effects while simultaneously weaken Megrim -style cards. It strikes me as a stax tool fi...

Just a random thought, but maybe Ill-Gotten Gains ? I use it in my somewhat casual mono-Black control deck to cancel out anybody's heavy draw turns. It does have a drawback by giving somebody access to removal, but if someone gets out of line with a big draw X or something this brings them back dow...

Lifeline should be awesome, because in a single turn rotation with 4 players and Kroxa dying every time, your opponents discard at least 4 cards. That sounds awesome indeed. Just be aware of the symmetric nature of Lifeline, it's a double-edged sword. I'd be happy to hear about how well the deck pe...

You might want to take a look at what I'm building with Kroxa at the moment. I'm going a 12-Rack route, with a lot of reanimation so that I don't have to pay Kroxa's commander taxes or have to use his escape ability. And yeah, 12 The Rack effects that synergize well with the discard. Thanks, that w...

Hello all, I tend to build rather slow (and sometimes silly) decks in my meta and I wanted to shake things up when I saw Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger . I want to build a silly but fast deck all about making my opponents discard cards by playing Kroxa over and over again. It would be even better if...

This is a really interesting topic, lots of funny ideas :D I'm eager to try those Lazav builds full of clunky creatures and that mirrorweave Kykar deck, as well as the pingers deck! [mention]KitsuLeif[/mention] : I also had a Thromok deck back when it was released, I had so much fun with it. I remem...
