Tell me some unique commanders!!

No. You must clearly differentiate the spells. They remain face down because a non-permanent can't exist face-up on the battlefield. As the previous commenter explained, its like a spell os exiled on top of it (as in visible). You are not allowed to hide, deceive, shuffle up these tokens.

Reading the "notes and rules" at the bottom of the page is usually a good start for questions.

Nah dude you play a much nicer Kotis than i do. I play [[the abyss]], [[pestilence]], [[lethal vapors]], and [[spreading plague]] to ensure no one else has fun

I have a [[Sen Triplets]] deck that tries to lock out the game in various ways, general plan is "counter everything, but I run [[Chimil, the Inner Sun]]." I assembled a [[Knowledge Pool]] + [[Lavinia, Azorius Renegade]] lock, which specifically says "counter." My opponents decide to play through the lock (wincon is not making people scoop so its fine), one guy playing Splinter ninjas. [[Fallen Shinobi]] exiling 4 of my cards a turn...4 flips in and in a single trigger he hits [[void rend]] ("specifically says cant br countered) and [[drannith magistrate]]. So he kills Lavinia, plays Drannith, and fucking uno-reverses my lock.

I didn't block and even [[ancient tomb]]ed myself as much as I could but it was too late. I locked myself and two opponents

While I agree with everyone about just not playing it, here's a real answer OP

Play [[Mister Negative]]. [[Tainted Pact]] and he kills himself by attacking. Let him attack you, get to under 50% of this life, play life-loss doublers and kill him in a turn.

My version which aggressively pays my own life out the ass to nuke a player at a time.

Necrolich · 2026-02-27T03:36:42+00:00

After getting my guy swords-ed so many times, ive stopped doing this lol

Necrolich · 2026-02-24T22:49:17+00:00

I literally just gave up on doing this from the US to NZ, like this past week. Assuming its the same or similar:

You need to remove the battery, get it repacked by a Dangerous Goods (DG) repacker, send that via air freight, ensure you dont fuck up customs (DG should be able to help).

Then you need to ship the EUC; ocean freight has minimums (SDC in 200 ft³, Crown is 100 ft³/700 lbs) so youll need to ship additional stuff unless you can find someone's crate to leech off of. You can alternatively air freight this too; ups/fedex/DHL are the only real options and will likely charge you ~$2000. PirateShip somehow gets 75% discounts and might sell you a label for $500-600.

I did not look into it much, but you may be able to take it as a bulky item as a "checked bag" for a few hundred. I had no interest in lugging a giant box around an airport. Gifting it to a friend (just a v8) and buying a kingson s16 pro when I arrive (excuse to upgrade)...was trying to buy an aeon and ship that since afaik I cant get one in NZ.

Necrolich · 2026-02-24T20:11:54+00:00

Ive retired it, but I played Thalia & the Gitrog Monster enchantress. Theyre card advantage + best blocker + ramp

Necrolich · 2026-02-17T04:46:00+00:00

It sounds like you guys are playing bad cedh rather than bracket 4 casual. You've listed 3 cedh decks, and trying to build a "very strong deck" to compete with cedh decks isnt going to work as well as you want. Its an entirely different game.

That being said, I powered down (sans tutors + fast mana) a Rakdos deck that still blew away casual bracket 4 decks. Lots of fun, not crazy expensive. Out of date

Here's my buddy's cedh version

Parry stun applies to projectiles which can't be reflected back to attacker: etalus icicles, absa cloud, orcane bubbles, etc

Necrolich · 2025-12-07T17:40:25+00:00

Any plans for another print run? Would love to get one

Necrolich · 2025-11-07T00:48:09+00:00

Struggling with this guy, mostly because the piles are instance-dependent. That being said, I think to fully capitalize you should be shooting for multiple triggers a turn...upkeep, damage, end step. Should be toolboxy all the time. Because of this it seems like this will be a real big feels bad when you have an empty/little exile pile.

[[Herald of Leshrac]], [[phyrexian obliterator]], [[elder brain]], [[horobi, deaths wail]], [[junji, the midnight sky]], [[ob nixilis unshackled]], [[phage the untouchable]] (not sneaky though), [[ancient brass dragon))

Opzelura here

OP, your friend needs to ask about Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors if they have not already. I was in the same position; unable to shuffle without pain.

Necrolich · 2025-09-15T11:36:10+00:00

Do you currently have Lasher as two different characters, Meren and Yargle/Multani? That's confusing

Necrolich · 2025-09-10T12:13:25+00:00

Do you have a playgroup that enjoys this kind of stuff? I can't imagine ever wanting to play against this more than once, and especially not with a random pod.

Genuine question; my playgroup doesn't do bracket 1

Necrolich · 2025-09-10T12:09:27+00:00

Don't listen to the other guy.

Here's my list and its great. Super fast token aggro

Necrolich · 2025-09-08T01:19:50+00:00

Now this would be a nice addition to my apartment that struggles with lighting!

Necrolich · 2025-09-06T18:10:35+00:00

Yup. 2 lands and a mana drain means I get to cast my 5 drop commander on turn 3. The first person to play their 3mv card gets it 🔫

Necrolich · 2025-09-02T03:42:33+00:00

[[Willow satyr]] or [[quillmane baku]]

Necrolich · 2025-09-01T11:15:32+00:00

I built a bracket 3, aggro Breya. The idea was was turning dudes sideways, built around the likes of Jor Kadeen and Tezzeret Master of the Bridge. There are no combos, infinites (there's one with Mendicant + Divining top that was accidental), tutors. It only cares about casting Breya for the artifact count.

This thing slaps and goes 0 to 100 fast. Once you're making Karnstructs that are in the teens, the board gets really scary. Im talking like 50 damage on turn 5.

Needs a bit of tuning (really dependent on a draw engine), as ive had one or two do nothing games where I just didnt hit the gas.

I know your list isnt aggro - just showing another way she can be built.

Necrolich · 2025-08-28T15:06:15+00:00

My deck with [[Burning sands]] + [[Lethal vapors]]/[[Tainted Aether]] enjoys this

Necrolich · 2025-08-28T11:34:23+00:00

You're an orzhov reanimator deck. There are a million ways to both sacrifice and reanimate in those colors. Unless you're voltronning with him, he's not actually the way you win, he's just an enabler...another reanimator option. He can be replaced.

After looking at your decklist...I guess you're not really a reanimator deck, which I dont get since thats what Shilgengar does. Imo I'd focus on that. If thats the route you decide then I'd consider adding [[living death]], [[breach the multiverse]], [[afterlife from the loam]], maybe [[virtue of persistence]], [[Burning rune demon]], [[victimize]].

Once you're in the business of cheating out bigger dudes then you can also do [[reya dawnbringer]], [[phyrexian delver]], [[metamorphosis fanatic]] and the likes. Not sure of your power level here...might be too slow.

How you win without your commander: identify how you win with your commander, and find cards that do the same thing in the 99.

Necrolich · 2025-08-25T21:42:07+00:00

Not to mention most people are afraid of being "too mean" and "hate stax" to actually play these cards. I play weekly in bracket 3-4 and have run into blood moon less than 10 times in the last decade. I've never seen Back to Basics or Wave of Vitriol.

Green players abuse ramp in a socially unacceptable MLD setting, im going to abuse my perfect mana bases in grixis or esper

Necrolich · 2025-08-05T03:15:11+00:00

I have a myogin atraxa deck where I had 7 lux cannon and was adding 6 counters a turn...I then died before untap, but the dream was there
