Hey mate, really love the work you put into this. I play dimir right now but was always thinking about playing a moon black version. Before I start pumping money into a new project I would very much ask you some questions.
Is it more for 1vs1 or does it also do well in a all vs all Szenario? Do you feel it lacks compared to more colors in power? And do you think I could also make it work in a little bit more Budget variant?
Thank you very much in advance! Love the deck and explanations!
Hey Schnoggi,
thank you very much for the kind words. It makes me happy to hear that you like my deck/work.
Now let me answer your questions.
Is it more for 1vs1 or does it also do well in a all vs all Szenario? - Well EDH is more a multiplayer than a 1 v 1 format, so the aim was to build a cEDH deck for multiplayer games. For example the deovtion combo with Gary works way better in a multiplayer game than in a 1 v 1. In a multiplayer game you don't need much interaction because your enemies will also interact and remove big threats. Especially in cEDH it can be helpful do be just the mono black guy and see how the others fight while you can easily explode if they offguard. Neverthless this deck can also played easily in a 1 v 1. It don't have a lot of interactions but enough for an 1 v 1 and also the aim is to be faster and be more resilent than interactive. As every 1 v 1 the power of this deck depends on the enemy. If you are playing against a hard counter deck like
Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, then you wont have much fun tbh.
Do you feel it lacks compared to more colors in power? - Sometimes I
wish I could remove some annoying artifacts or counter some stuff, but most of the time I don't care because I actually just need 1-3 lands and can finish off the game. The lack of colors is not the main problem, the main problem is that everyone will focus your K'rrik because he is absurdly strong and absolutely important for this deck. Playing mono color is also a
blessing, you don't need tons of staples for each color, you don't need fixing and for K'rrik you don't even need black color just life :-).
And do you think I could also make it work in a little bit more Budget variant? - Of course! I already have a budget section on my primer. I can add more cards to the section so that you have an overview of how you can build the deck in a cheaper variant. that takes some speed and power out of the deck but in a budget environment that shouldn't be a problem at all. I'm also testing a version of this deck without
doomsday, if you are interested just check this deck as well
