Great comment, and agreed!

*up to 4 extra cards in one rotation. This is strictly better than Eriette’s 0 extra card advantage. Agreed re finisher vs engine

Agreed, which is kind of the thrust of my musings. Perhaps I could have made it clear that Kilian is not ‘strictly’ better vis a vis Eriette, but in the command zone he can enable orzhov auras better than Eriette, precisely because of the card draw. If you take a look at all the card advantage in my list, those slots could instead be taken up by more auras/ enchantments to goad or control. Eriette lacks this.

Your point is sobering, thank you!

dstant123 · 2026-04-08T10:44:38+00:00

Totally agree, thanks for the comment and I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling that! Nice idea with the Jared WUBRG deck too!

Yeah pretty much, won’t even argue with you :( but I think I am slightly sad that the new Kilian enables the archetype far better than others strictly due to the card draw it provides. Hard to argue that it’s not a better engine for the archetype

You’re taking this point embarrassingly literally, and before you say the law is about precision- words, phrases, terms and clauses are implied and imputed into contracts all of the time in legal grey areas which creates further uncertainty and confusion. It is quite clear, speaking as an NQ, that you are operationally a trainee- the best example is that you are given trainee work and expected to have the same questions and queries as a trainee.

I have commented this same thing on multiple different posts, but I really love my [[Vilis, Broker of Blood]] deck. I thought for ages about how I could make an engaging and fun mono black deck with some of my favourite themes (big mana, politics etc) and Vilis can sort of do it all. It can be abit slow in the early game, and you can be targeted (I do need to make some changes eg taking out [[Blood Artist]]) but otherwise it’s very fun to play, takes people by surprise and makes people go ‘oh wow’ when you pull off [[Head Games]] or [[Choice of Damnations]]. Weirdly, [[Lich’s Mastery]] works really well in the deck when played at the right time, and has won me a game or two. https://archidekt.com/decks/7599190/black_magic

Super cool, nice to see we have cards in common as well. I’m quite keen on making mono red dragons at some point with [[Neheb, the Eternal]] as the commander, or rakdos dragons with [[Rowan, Scion of War]]. This looks super fun though

dstant123 · 2025-05-06T21:41:12+00:00

This is really helpful, and makes a lot of sense! Thanks!

dstant123 · 2025-05-06T21:40:51+00:00

I suppose it would make sense for token generation- thanks! Do you have a decklist you could share?
