Commander Deck Reviews / Volrath, The Shapestealer

Volrath, The Shapestealer

Sucks the life right out of you.

Infect doesn't feel good, for that reason I'm not going for an infect win-con. I want to try and keep the creatures in check and let Volrath do his thing.

I added Nev Disk and regeneration/protection for it's effect. Gameplay has shown that I should add some self mill for more effective "Searching"...

This looks like it's ready to explode! With the ramp you have you might be able to reduce the number of lands you have to work with to squeeze in more value cards. Things like the fetch lands in mono colors don't add value unless you are looking for multiple landfall triggers. If you further organized the creatures in your main category into ramp, draw, devour, tokens, etc. you might get a more complete picture of your overall effectiveness.

I'm still balking about adding Nevinyrral's Disk as I am finding it difficult to give Mairsil indestructible under a cage counter. Is it possible to utilize the stack and just give Mairsil the ability to regenerate and avoid the nuclear holocaust? The ubiquity of regeneration, especially in black, will be much easier to exploit.

I moved some stuff around, added some removal and untap.

It's so easy to get lost in the fog of Mairsil, the Pretender and his abilities. It's hard to stay on task.

After re-organizing, I think I have too much evasion and counter spells. If I can find the right untap effects then I'll feel better about adding tap activations.
