The apocalypse (Sheoldred)
3 weeks ago
Yay, darkness. Here are some thoughts that might synergize with your deck:
- With Sheoldred feeding off of card drawing, you might consider things that speed up card drawing. These can be double-edged swords, but Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, Teferi's Puzzle Box, Memory Jar, and the like might be worth considering. Reliquary Tower may also not be a bad idea.
- Rather than Infernal Darkness, why not Contamination? You can also get an engine with things like Bitterblossom, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Reassembling Skeleton (or other recurring creatures, e.g. Bloodghast) to make your opponents cry even more.
- Koskun Falls could also be another way to tax your opponents.
- You could also go with Wound Reflection to double up on the suffering. Things like Kokusho, the Evening Star and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician are must-plays in any deck I have with black, and considering Gray Merchant of Asphodel might also be worth your time.

Wing It: missed opportunity to make an Improvise pun
Silverquill Lecturer: For a do-nothing creature with mediocre stats and a drawback ability, I feel this is overcosted.
Stone Idol Generator: Kinda wish this instead let you pay ten to make an Ancient Stone Idol token (which in turn would make its own token on death)
Muster the Departed: Just please give me white Bitterblossom for 3 T_T
Nightshade Dryad: kinda surprised it's not an Eldrazi or at least Ugin-flavored
Phyrexian Ironworks: don't even need energy support for this to work
Fanged Flames: I get that it's a reference to Ghostfire, but I don't really see the connection between snakes & Ugin
Final Act: Missed opportunity to call it "Begone"
Obstinate Gargoyle: kinda wish this was a 1/1 with undying instead

Braids, the Mastermind
1 month ago
Some thoughts that immediately come to mind:
- A way of getting even more creatures as Braids fodder is Bitterblossom. I highly recommend it. You may also consider rejiggering the land base to make Field of the Dead worthwhile: you have enough lands to make it work, but more options to make it more feasible may not be a bad idea. You could also use things like Reassembling Skeleton to feed Braids even more.
- I know a lot of people don't like tutors, but tutors here can be quite handy. Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Beseech the Queen, and Diabolic Intent are all possibly worthwhile. You could also consider some deck-thinning lands like Prismatic Vista and Fabled Passage.
- Mana-rock-wise, Mox Amber might be worthwhile.
- I vote Contamination for any mono-black deck. It's a great way to lose friends (which might be the point).

Daemogoth Dealings (Budget)
1 month ago
Elves of Deep Shadow is better than leaden myr
Unnatural Growth is super win more and a 5 drop, plus it has 4 green pips in a deck with a budget manabase of 12 forests and 8 swamps. I'd cut all 4, and if you really want 1 then at least cut 3.
Fatal Push staple removal spell that also synergizes well with all your revolt triggers. Maybe too expensive though.
Giant Growth and Might of the Masses are again win more; this isn't an infect deck. I'd replace with more enablers (i.e. creatures you can sacrifice or token generators) like Blisterpod, Tend the Pests, etc. I assume Bitterblossom is out of your budget unfortunately.

Death by Tokens
1 month ago
Hi, imo you need more token creators that create tokens for everyone or for your enemies. You dont need tokens for your own...think about cards like Forbidden Orchard, Hunted Horror, Slaughter Specialist, Curse of Disturbance, Tombstone Stairwell, Clackbridge Troll, Infernal Genesis, Hunted Lammasu, Tribute to Horobi Flip, Shadrix Silverquill You should cut cards like Ophiomancer, Skrelv's Hive or Bitterblossom

Unparalleled Cognitive Dissonance

No Reassembling Skeleton? What about something like Sengir Autocrat, make a bunch of bodies to generate maximum triggers? Gixian Puppeteer seems like a good fit. I feel like Dreadhorde Invasion might be good with your Commander, as long as you sacrifice the token you get a fresh one on your upkeep, this is a relatively affordable alternative to Bitterblossom. If you like the Underworld Dreams effect, perhaps Fate Unraveler, though it's not exactly budget at this point and will surely go down in price if it sees reprint, so maybe keep an eye on it? I feel like your deck would benefit from anything that prevents life gain, stuff like Grima Wormtongue and/or Knight of Dusk's Shadow might keep opponents from running away from your damage/life loss effects, and Plague Drone actually punishes opponents for trying to gain life.

Dimir Ninja Fae (Modern)

Brother, I appreciate the support of the clan.
Oona's Blackguard is a solid card, particularly when played with Bitterblossom or a Rogue-engine. Paired with Ninjas it does lose some of its spice. Oona Blackguard wants to remain on the field, as do the Creatures you +1/+1 for player damage + handrips. Unfortunately both Oona + Ninjas require player damage for proc, leading to only ever getting 1/2 value. Ninja value EtB (Enter the battlefield) effects, since they get to use them more than once.
If no EtB, cards proc'ing on attack like Dreadhorde Arcanist have an ideal setup for Ninjas, getting an /attack/ + /player combat damage/ value.
DemonDragonJ on How is Black Market Connections …
2 months ago
Black Market Connections is an amazing card, and I have copies of it in several of my decks, but I wonder how it is at all balanced, given that it produces so much value for a relatively small and one-time payment of mana. It heavily outclasses both Bitterblossom and Phyrexian Arena in a significant number of situations, and has a very lenient mana cost, so I think that it would have been perfectly balanced at 4 mana (with a heavier color weight in its cost; i.e., ).
What does everyone else say about this? How is Black Market Connections at all balanced?
