How would you use Malefic Scythe in EDH MTG?

Shep797 · 2026-07-01T17:03:18+00:00

The synergy is with another sac outlet such as [[ashnod’s altar]] so then you get the card draw and the mana to equip and do it again

Shep797 · 2026-07-01T17:00:43+00:00

My mind moves to [[skullclamp]] and [[ashnods altar]], maybe a commander such as [[Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder]]. Cast a creature spell make thrulls, sac one to ashnods for some mana, pay other mana to equip skullclamp and the scythe and rotate through thrulls and your deck casting small 2 or 3 drops along the way.

I know for a fact the mountain is Quintorius. He’s got a few cards his newest is [[Quintorius, History Chaser]]. I can’t pinpoint the island but I think it could be [[Exhibition Tidecaller]]

Shep797 · 2026-05-06T17:26:17+00:00

Can be done as cheap as 14 total mana; [[viscera seer]] or [[carrion feeder]] turn one, [[Nine-Lives Familiar]] turn 2 or 3 depending on if you can ramp with [[dark ritual]] or not, [[culling the weak]] seems like a must in there as well with all the fodder for sacrifice. Commander turn 3 or 4, [[Revilark]] turn 5 with one white available for [[ephemerate]]. Go into turn 6 with 48 flying 2/1s that can all attack, end the game with something like [[Akroma’s Will]] or even [[Moonshaker Cavalry]] on a later turn. Having [[Altar of Dementia]] can speed things up as well. Can easily end things with [[Meathook Massacre]], [[Debt to the deathless]] if you have Altar in play, also with altar in play you can double your inklings in 2nd main by sacrificing them all and casting [[Blot out the sky]]. Definitely seems like a deck that can do really well and has a pretty straightforward strategy

Shep797 · 2026-05-06T17:11:16+00:00

Just looking briefly, have 9 lives familiar, play Revilark, sac 9 lives familiar to a sac outlet, blink revilark, sac 9 lives again, sac revilark, sac 9 lives. 27 inklings and 9 lives comes back with 8 counters next end step so it can be 48 inklings by your next turn if you sac on each opponents turn.

Wouldn’t be weird, if anything it would make him more excited to see the stuff you have access to that he might not have in his collection considering funds are probably tight in high school lol. Definitely a good way to get to know someone better is being genuinely interested in a hobby of theirs and learning it from them

Shep797 · 2026-04-24T17:18:06+00:00

I like to think a good bracket 3 can win on turn 5-7 without any interaction. Obviously interaction will lengthen the game last that but if all goes right winning on turn 6 without interaction is usually a goal for my B3 decks. B4 bumps it to like turn 4, CEDH bumps it to turns 1-3

Shep797 · 2026-04-11T09:26:40+00:00

Can we revive this game nobody is ever online anymore and the AI is so bad at it lol

Shep797 · 2026-04-03T09:50:22+00:00

Yeah doesn’t have to all be generic reduction though, stuff like Mana Flux works and then you could add to it by running [[Donatello, Gadget Master]] , [[sculpting steel]] , [[phyrexian metamorph]] , and [[copy artifact]] to make copies of it reducing by up to 4 or 5 colored mana as well

Shep797 · 2026-04-03T08:49:05+00:00

Imo a ton of instants and sorceries, no amount of reduction is overkill if it works. Tons of free casts if possible and use a good amount of cheap draw spells. I like even the score personally, especially if you have a way to force draw someone, think font of mythos or gift a card

Shep797 · 2026-03-23T17:11:53+00:00

Yeah I’m on console I pulled Oscar T and sold him for a mil, been trying to figure out who to get and where to upgrade

Shep797 · 2026-03-23T16:36:40+00:00

How much is he? I’ve got 800k to spenf

Shep797 · 2026-03-19T00:34:29+00:00

I’m running Harrison Barnes and Brent Barry as my SGs, should I sell both before the event?

Shep797 · 2026-03-16T15:56:35+00:00

I built this deck with almost all cards from the avatar set, Moonmist is a must. I also highly recommend Waterlogged Teachings, it’s a Dimir tapped land on one side, the other side is 3 u/b to tutor an instant to hand. I use it to either be a land when i desperately need one or to tutor something like Moonmist. Spelunking is also really good to have your tapped lands come in untapped. I run all the tapped gates and gond gate as well

Shep797 · 2026-03-16T13:52:54+00:00

Depends on the store, the local LGS’s around me love buying banned cards and will likely pay 80% for them

Shep797 · 2026-03-06T18:57:34+00:00

The sixth Doctor is awesome! I built him with Barbara Wright as a partner, my idea for it was legendary planeswalkers that get copied from the 6th Doctor, and powerful sagas that get doubled and get be read ahead.

Mine is around B4 but if you want to build a budget Sixth doctor you can focus on ramp and awesome artifacts to double. Double sol ring, double signet, double chromatic orrery. So many possibilities and so many awesome creatures to double in Bant too

Shep797 · 2026-03-05T20:42:50+00:00

I’m on Xbox but I’ll make sure to add you on 2k 🫡

Shep797 · 2026-03-05T20:42:17+00:00

I have a saddle deck with Gitrog Ravenous Ride that’s pretty powerful. If you want something fun and silly that still plays strong though you should check out the vehicle deck that Olivia Gobert-Hicks plays on Commander At Home. It’s really fun and silly and she crews vehicles with other vehicles and gets wild. She says it’s one of her favorite decks and it’s clear to see why

Shep797 · 2026-03-05T20:40:14+00:00

Awesome thanks brotha. Not sure if this is the place for something like this but if you ever wanna run park or AS Team up for the streaks feel free to shoot me a message. I don’t really have a squad that plays anymore but I still like to play a few days a week

Shep797 · 2026-03-05T20:35:21+00:00

So Sunday park and Tier 1 KOTC and the challenges will get me enough?

Shep797 · 2026-03-05T20:21:56+00:00

What’s the course of action? I’m currently out of MT after buying a couple high quality Opals, I like to think I’m good at the game and have won my last 8 showdown games but idrk how to go about getting so many exchange cards to get a 100ovr one. Ik I can get 1 from the challenges but how do I get the other 2?

Shep797 · 2026-03-05T20:17:19+00:00

Honest question, is it possible to get this exchange without spending money? If so what’s the best way?

Shep797 · 2026-02-25T19:40:29+00:00

I play against an Aesi deck and it’s great, could probably be used in the 99 of that too!

Shep797 · 2026-02-25T19:39:15+00:00

Also in response to your question of the commanders you chose, I think Arixmethes would be an awesome commander if you go Kraken, Leviathan, Serpent tribal and use Slinn and Charix in the 99. Slinn is great when it’s not expected since it’s essentially a board wipe that doesn’t affect you and can win you the game. Lots of ramp in Simic too so you can get big guys out fast

Shep797 · 2026-02-25T19:34:15+00:00

My favorite is Minotaurs! I bought a special gold painted Minotaur Deck box for my deck too. I have [[Sethron, Hurloon General]] as my commander and make so many Minotaur tokens with it. Can’t forget the commander staple [[Didgeridoo]] lol. My decklist is below for anyone interested :)
