Mahadi 1.0: The Black Emporium

[grimoiredark]

Hiya everyone!

With a new set upon us, I've been looking for an excuse to redo some of my old decks. When seeing the release of a certain merchant (cough Mahadi, Emporium Master cough), I was excited to brew; for both flavor and potential power! Many people have been saying he's better in the 99 of decks, but I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could come up with anything to discount that. Here is the first list and will slowly try to improve on it! What's your take on this new cool cat?

I think Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge is a slam dunk here given that it basically does the same thing as your commander sans tokens.

No love for Massacre Wurm?

I originally thought Gadrak only applied to Nontoken Creatures you control, but not all. That's nuts. Definitely a good fit O_O

No love for Massacre Wurm?

I...didn't think about the good Wurm, Another fit for this x_x

Need to do a 2.0 version as this one isn't zooming as much it should for all the mana it can make @_@

[kirkusjones]

I also don't like Massacre Wurm
