Think about some stuff to support big creatures like Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma and Thryx, the Sudden Storm.

If you go grixis, I think you should consider Maestros Charm (removal + card selection + self mill in one easy package) and Cormela, Glamour Thief (mana ramp + extra recursion, gives you mana to cast another victimize or Maestros charm immediately after you reanimate her.)

Also, Faithless Looting.

I totally forgot to look for Maestro cards. And Faithless Looting is one of my favourite cards, I don't know how I forgot about it.

Thank you very much :)

I believe, play whatever you want.

If you want to go three color, you need a lot of support in the manabase. Going two color is better for budget an if you want to go Budget-Reanimator consider:

Unearth; Altar of Bhaal; Archpriest of Shadows; Gravewaker; Hells Caretaker; Persist; Stitch Together; Artisan of Kozilek; Obsessive Stitcher.

If you want to play Niv, play Niv-Mizzet, Parun with Curiosity. If go more in reanimation, you don´t need the color splash.

Greetings

The first sentence actually motivated me to just make the deck grixis. I can change it back, so who cares :)

I have the Obsessive Stitcher already on the list.

I don't want to go completely reanimator, I just want to pull through my combo: I cast Victimize and get two creatures back, which in turn repeat other cards and Victimize to me. And in the endgame I want to sacrifice properly with Butcher of Malakir and at the same time hinder the opponent with Mistcaller, Siren Stormtamer and Goblin Flectomancer.

Although Archpriest of Shadows would be pretty awesome, but she has to be a Warlock.

This here is my Dimir Reanimator deck:

https://deckstats.net/decks/144015/3090751-dimir-wizard-bloodline

It actually works fine. Packing cards in the graveyard and reviving them later, you can build good combos and have a lot of opportunities to hinder your opponent.

But sometimes there just isn't enough power. So I sat down and figured I'd add another color. The result looks like this:

https://deckstats.net/decks/144015/3099349-grixis-wizard-bloodline#show__comments

Harmonic Prodigy is a non-legendary version of Naban, Dean of Iteration, so I can control him multiple times to fully escalate Bloodline Necromancer and Archaeomancer, for example. Unlike Ravenous Chupacabra, Markov Enforcer can only destroy creatures that are weaker than or equal to her, but if she enters the battlefield with another vampire through Victimize or Harmonic Prodigy + Bloodline Necromancer, she will fight twice. Additionally, it generates Blood Tokens and has significantly better stats than Ravenous' Chupacabra.
Goblin Flectomancer expands the variety of the deck and fits the sacrificing theme. Niv-Mizzet is an endgame power house, a strong flyer with card draw and point damage.

However, I'm not sure (again) if the three-color deck is better than the two-color variant.

Opinion? Suggestions?

Supernatural Stamina is an option or Undying Evil or better Malakir Rebirth for flexibility. Vat of Rebirth could be a little bit slow  ???
I've chosen Supernatural Stamina because of the power boost since most creatures in my deck are rather weak.

I've also try to add Bloodflow Connoissuer and Obsessive Stitcher. They could help with the endgame when Butcher of Malakir is there to finish the duel, but there isn't much space left.
Stitcher might also be nice to put cards in the graveyard in the early game.

I've put in some work and I think it is much better know. I've also found a better thing than flicker with Supernatural Stamina. It's more like a toolbox deck now :)

Hello and gratulation to your new deck.

If I read this correctly, you have a budget-friendly deck with a nice combo in it.

First thoughts
Turn 1 - you can play nothing
Your Deck has no option for ramping mana.
Turn 3-4 are the turns, where your plan starts to grow.
You have only Counterspell to protect your graveyard

Think about 8-12 cheap options for you:
CC1
Cursecatcher (Wizard), Innocent Blood, Duress, Vicious Rumors, Careful Study, Piracy Charm, Despise, Turn Aside, Delver of Secrets !!! (wizard)

CC2
Augur of Skulls (Wizard), Liliana's Triumph, Sheoldred's Edict, Mana Leak (could be faster in the first turns),

Think about Transmute:
Brainspoil for Bloodline Necromancer
Dimir House Guard for  Archaeomancer or  Ravenous Chupacabra

Sideboard
Annul or Feed the Swarm

Card-Alternatives:

Ravenous Chupacabra: Shriekmaw; Gatekeeper of Malakir;

Other budget cards:
Hidden Horror; Unearth; Profane Command; Soul Transfer, Dread Return

Mana-Ramp:
Dark Ritual; Cabal Ritual; Dimir Signet; Everflowing Chalice; Mind Stone; Talisman of Dominance;

Bouncing for Bloodline Necromancer:
Essence Flux + Isochron Scepter
Siren's Ruse or Blur

There are a few things I've been thinking about myself. Mainly curse catcher and flicker stuff. Maybe I'll sit behind it and go through the cards again.

Thanks for the very complex answer :)

Here is my new deck :)

https://deckstats.net/decks/144015/3090751-wizard-bloodline/de

It's fundamentally based on Bloodline Necromancer, which I was keen to put to good use. Here's what came out:

Organizing: With these cards, I try to get the main strategy cards to the desired place as quickly as possible. Particularly important and strong is Gifts Ungiven: For this I choose Archaeomancer, Bloodline Necromancer, Ravenous Chupacabra and Victimize. No matter which one the opponent discards, the combo cannot be prevented.

Main Strategy: Bloodline Necromancer can spawn any Vampire or Wizard from the Graveyard, mainly to spawn a copy of itself or Archaeomancer. Archaeomancer brings Victimize back into hand. Victimize can revive two creatures, best of which are Bloodline Necromancer and Ravenous Chupacabra. Ravenous Chupacabra can destroy a creature.

Good Stuff:
Butcher of Malakir is a powerful flyer with the ability to force any opponent to sacrifice a creature when one of your creatures dies. This happens quite often because the revive combo allows me to use any creature to block at will. Naban, Dean of Iteration triggers an additional time for each ability that activates when a caster enters the battlefield. Say, Archaeomancer recovers two spells, Bloodline Necromancer recovers two creatures from the graveyard, and so on.

Summary: With the Main Strategy cards you ensure that you always get Victimize in your hand in order to revive Ravenous Chupacabra and as many Bloodline Necromancers as possible, which then revive Archaemancers, which then Victimize brings back into your hand. With enough mana, this can be repeated almost indefinitely.

Lands: Just some cheap Lands cause where playin on a budget. Memorial to Folly is a tool to recover key cards in dire needs.

9
Recycling is key if you're going to destroy your own stuff.

I've never tried sacrifice on commander/Oathbreaker myself because I can't finish my opponent off with two Apprentice Necromancer revivin' one another eight times a turn.

Two cards I forgot: Persistent Specimen and Clattering Augur. Skeletons are a good sacrifice because they can fix up themselv right after :) But you should sacrifice them using Ashnod's Altar 'cause they're a bit pricey...

10
Doesn't look bad, but in my opinion there are too few cards in the deck that want to be sacrificed and too few that actually sacrifice something.

Also, I'm missing a few cards without which I wouldn't want to play such a deck: Gravecrawler, Mortician Beetle, Rakshasa Gravecaller, Apprentice Necromancer, Carrion Feeder, Gravelighter, Blood for Bones, Doomed Necromancer, Phyrexian Delver...

I like to add creatures like Living Lightning, which keeps bringing Victimize back into my hand, only to be revived by the same card.

It's crucial to re-use cards so you're don't running out of ressources.

Deck Reviews / Flickerform is underrated: Naya Auras
« on: June 15, 2023, 05:34:58 pm »
https://deckstats.net/decks/144015/3085078-flickerform

Hello fellow planeswalkers :)

I sat down on a budget deck again after discovering the card Danitha, Benalia's Hope. That's when another card came to mind that I've been wanting to use properly for a long time: Flickerform.

Flickerform Combo:

It's as simple as it is ingenious: when Danitha comes into play, she can put an enchantment or equipment from hand or graveyard onto the battlefield and attach it to herself.
And this is where Flickerform comes into play: Danitha uses her ability to get the enchantment from the hand or from the graveyard and can then be Flickered again and again to get more auras from the graveyard or from the hand, since Flickerform has an interesting side effect , which also flickers Danitha's enchantments, which can trigger Constellation abilities.
This combo makes Danitha, who is already strong even without enchantments, a serious threat.

Early Game:

Champion of the Flame can do big damage with just an aura or two, while Nessian Wanderer brings lands into hand whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield. Benefaction of Rhonas searches for important cards and either puts them in your hand or puts them in the graveyard, from where Danitha and Storm Herald can use their abilities to bring them back.

Aura Spells:

Dragon Mantle lets you draw a card for one mana, triggers Constellation and gives Uril and Champion of the Flame a power boost and a chance to consume unused mana.
Flamespeaker's Will and Mortal Obstinacy are very cheap and can give Champion of the Flame and Uril, the Miststalker an extra power boost, as well as destroy enchantments or artifacts. The combo of Danitha and Flickerform can recycle them as often as you like.
Unquestioned Authority draws a card and gives the enchanted creature Protection from Creatures, so you can attack unscathed, dealing high damage with Champion of the Flame and Uril.
Sage's Reverie even lets you draw multiple cards depending on how many Auras you control and gives the enchanted creature an equally large power boost. With Sage's Reverie + Flickerform you own a powerful draw engine.

Good Stuff:

Swords to Plowshares probably needs no further explanation.
Archon of Sun's Grace possesses the Constellation ability to create Pegasi whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield and then gives them Lifelink. It is also a strong flier that has Flying and Lifelink of its own. Combined with Flickerform + Danitha it can create a huge amount of pegasi tokens.
Uril is very strong, protected by hexproof, and has the same ability as Champion of the Flame.

Finisher:

Storm Herald is a versatile tool to avert impending defeat. When Storm Herald enters the battlefield, you may attach any amount of Auras from your graveyard to creatures on the field. Uril and Archon of Sun's Grace benefit most from Storm Herald, but with enough auras he can also turn into a true fighting machine himself.

Summary:
Danitha + Flickerform allows for strong card draw and the ability to flicker the main creature, Danitha, when she is in danger. That's why you should always activate Flickerform's ability as late as possible.
Champion of the Flame and Uril can get very strong, especially when paired with Storm Herald- With two Sage's Reverie and an Unquestioned Authority, Uril is unblockable, untargetable, and has 20 power, which isn't a bad thing in and of itself. The fact that you can then draw 6 cards makes it even better.

Tips, suggestions and comments are of course always welcome :)

But please make sure that it is a budget deck. The price per card should not be higher than 1€. (Source: Scryfall)

It's quite a nice deck, but I miss Mirror Entity. It is a very versatile card and can act as a finisher or to empower your creatures in the first few turns.

13
It's true that Utvara is quite expensive... So I better not mention Ancient Copper Dragon and Balefire Dragon ;)

But I'm not into expensive cards myself, so I would recommend Tyrant's Familiar. The high mana cost are a problem, but not with Dragon's Approach or Bladewing the Risen. You need your commander, but the you can remove most creatures easily.

Bladewing's Thrall may be a useful addition to, but it has to be in the graveyard to be truly useful because you don't want to cast it.

14
I think this looks pretty good, although personally I'd swap Mishra and his Dragon Engine for Utvara Hellkite and Bladewing the Risen. Mishra doesn't really fit into the deck because he's more into swarming and in Commander merged creatures are always such a thing... You only have both once and if only one fits thematically then it doesn't do that much.

(I certainly didn't want to link this Dragon Engine, but Deck Stats does what it wants xP)

So here's my latest Duel Commander deck... I always feel like I'm forgetting a certain card when it comes to Commander decks.
Does the deck look good? Or can you think of something else that absolutely belongs in it?

Important information: Duel Commander, so it is played 1vs1 with 20 life points. Cost limit approx. 1€ (source Scryfall)

(The insect token shown is incorrect, but the deck's website shows the correct one.)
