Garruk, Primal Hunter is a welcome reprint fr this deck!

Something else to consider, from a Control perspective, is a Wheel + Payoff setup. I had an Esper Stax list that was pretty good and often just overwhelmed my opponents in Value after stifling their cards with prototypical Stax pieces. Esper has some of the best Wheel effects in the game available a...

My biggest suggestion for you is to include Teferi, Temporal Archmage . Adding Teferi into the deck allows you to get stupid amounts of value from your mana sources when blinked via Aminatou. It can also go infinite with The Chain Veil , so that's something to consider since you've mentioned you act...

Just chiming in to say that this Primer is great and there are some sweet Artifacts being reprinted that should slide right in for Kozilek, notably Thran Dynamo and Strionic Resonator.

Meh, I think that a dedicated Discard strategy isn't particularly effective for Kaalia, unless it's Sire of Insanity . Kaalia likes to have fuel in hand for her trigger and a Discard strategy is antithetical to this purpose. I'd recommend a Stax strategy. The Kaalia Primer I have in my sig has been ...

The omission of Kykar is odd. It's a token generator that converts said tokens into more mana to fuel the Sensei's Top synergies?

Congratulations then! I have a Shuffle Hulk deck that I almost always play against when I'm gunning for a true cEDH game and Grafdigger's Cage is great against him. I also play Future Sight in my deck and, maybe it's just bad luck, there have been two instances where the Cage shuts off my Future Top...

I've really enjoyed playing mine too. It's quick, resilient and strong. I'm still learning the ropes with mine, but that instant-speed sac and counter is just.....crazy good on a commander. Frankly I can't see any other control commander in mono black that's anywhere near as powerful. After some pl...

Duh. I should know better than to list other Legend in the Targets section since the Legend rule will kill either Volrath or the Legend itself. I really like Thief of Sanity as a Volrath target, though. It gives Volrath flying while also providing pseudo card advantage from connecting on combat dama...

Wall of Stolen Identity is pretty awesome for Arcades! Besides that, nothing has immediately jumped out as being an include for your Arcades Primer. Sevinne's Reclamation could be interesting because so many permanents in the deck have a CMC of 3 or less. Maybe Road of Return ? I dunno. I'm more in...

I think having Phage the Untouchable in the deck would be pretty awesome for actual one-shot player kills, especially in concert with unblockable creatures. A semi-Budget build that I would try for would look something like this: Commander 5x Volrath, the Shapestealer Mana Sources (14) 1x Sol Ring 1...

I think that some of the pre-cons have been totally worthless, but I like the direction C19 is going. The Sultai Morph deck is very interesting and has some powerful cards to play with. The Jeskai deck looks good too and the Naya General is a godsend for Tokens strategies. I'm keen to see what the M...

I think these cuts are good. Was Grafdigger's Cage not good enough for your meta?

Any update here?

I'm looking forward to your game report, honestly. Love the enthusiasm you've shared!

No Talismans for Mana Acceleration?

With as many creatures as will be dying, would you consider Nether Traitor?

I'm not sure how I missed this decklist, [mention]RowanKeltizar[/mention] , but welcome to MTGNexus!

I'm interested to see that you have 0 Signets in your decklist and are running Mox Amber. Why is this?

I've always wondered in Beastmaster Ascension is worth a deckslot in a strategy such as this. Normally, your Hate-Bears get outclassed by others as the game progresses but the Ascension should work to reward you for turning them sideways. I do realize there is anti-synergy with Sidar Knod and the As...

Any thoughts on submitting this for Primer status? I really like your list and the OP is formatted nicely for Primer consideration.

Too bad there isn't a way to search your library for an Angel card...

I voted Ayli because Sacrifice shenanigans are great and Kelzam's Primer is beautiful enough that you could build it on principle.

Hey Loki, it looks like the new Ignite the Future might be a decent inclusion in the deck. Thoughts?

Any updates here, toc? I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Dralnu and like to keep track of your thread.

I for one look forward to the updates you have. I still have a soft spot in my heart for Arcades!

I'm glad to see you migrate over here, [mention]Finale of Revelation[/mention]! The post needs a lot of coding work but I'll be happy to review it and help where I can!

I've observed that Yawgmoth usually dies 2-3 times per game. However, that's usually not a hindrance to me because by the time Yawgmoth has died I've drawn 2+ cards, usually including a mana source/land that allows me to build back up to recast Yawgmoth. The deck does pretty well even without him. I...
