On the topic of card evaluation you brought up in the other channel, this video's a good one going over some of the differences in edh

I think the list looks alright, it reads a bit like a standard deck being converted to commander. Instead of Putrefy, I'd maybe suggest leaning into Anguished Unmaking, Swords to Plowshares, Casualties of War, or Assassin's Trophy (depending which fits your removal needs)

#

The other thing I'm noticing is that Blightbelly Rat is alright, but I'd probably prefer these because they're a bit harder to remove and a 1/1 is a little weak for swinging in with

#

I think maybe [[Kinzu of the Bleak Coven]] would be some recursion you can use

[[Anguished Unmaking]]

But if you use Chthonian Nightmare and can keep looping it, it's fantastic

#

[[Chthonian Nightmare]]

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

I love this!

#

Definitely adding both

#

Well one

fickle path
#

Okay, then I highly recommend Kinzu + Blightbelly + Cthonian Nightmare. Do you see why those 3?

molten ember
#

So now I need to cut 2 cards in order to fit Chthonian Nightmare and Kinzu

#

Yes because you can repeatedly bring it back and sac it to trigger proliferate

And i think kinzu is for extra life after nightmare runs out of charges and redundancy?

#

Not sure if exile complicates it

fickle path
#

The exile does complicate it

#

I still do recommed Kinzu, but see if you can spot something on scryfall that can make a token when your rat dies to finish the combo

molten ember
#

I guess you can sac the belly as often as you have mana

#

Oo i know

fickle path
#

Yeah! You got it. If you have a way to make a creature when the rat dies, Chthonian Nightmare lets you combo proliferate

molten ember
#

[[Pawn of Ulamog]] maybe?

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

I could put [[necrogen communion]] on it lol

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

Probably much better things to put that on

#

But its a funny idea

#

Idk

fickle path
#

Yeah, I think you're getting a good sense of card evaluation. Necrogen Communion is strongest on your big creatures with enters-the-battlefield triggers

molten ember
#

I have [[dross scorpion]] + [[throne of geth]] + [[venser, corpse puppet]]

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

I think that is pretty nasty

#

Only issue is each part is totally reliant on the others to be useful

#

I think

#

Throne is useful independently actually - i have 6 artifacts

#

And having dross would let me burn them for deperation proliferated i suppose

#

Idk

dusky pine
#

[[Grimoir Of The Dead]] been mentioned at all? I didn't back read super far but if you are proliferating and like graveyards then perhaps.

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

Not got all that much playing in my graveyard other than that aforementioned combo in this deck

Especially since i have kinzu exiling many

But i like the card for my friend's graveyard deck so I'll pass that along 😄

dusky pine
#

If that friend happens to be a zombie tribal. [[rooftop storm]] is fun lilyDerp

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

He'll be very happy to see that

#

Not sure if he's committing to tribal but he does love his zombies

dusky pine
#

Makes simple infinite with [[gravecrawler]] [diregraft captain]] and [[Grimgrin, Corpse-Born]] (the commander in my case)

And many many other combos thanks to , [[Havengul Lich]]

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

@fickle path just realised i can use [[Chthonian Nightmare]] with [[Ichor Rats]]

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

Options.. options...

molten ember
#

I'm sure I'll live to regret passing along these suggestions xD

dusky pine
#

Its fine, he will simply [[traumatize]] himself into a wincon. Let it happen. FrostBean

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

This i won't be passing on

#

I hate mill xD

#

Delete this >:[

dusky pine
#

Its milling himself not you. In the event that havengul and rooftop are with grimgrin

molten ember
#

Ooohhhh

#

I'm dumb

#

How do you defend your graveyard from exile?

#

I have a casual vampire aristocrats deck and i live in fear of mass exile white cards...

#

shrewd plinthBOT

#

I think like to add [[Kinzu of the Bleak Coven]] and [[Chthonian Nightmare]] to my deck
Can you help me figure out what to cut?

shrewd plinthBOT
fickle path
molten ember
#

Yeah i just found it funny that i hadn't noticed

#

But its cool that Chthonian Nightmare works with so many cards

#

Its awesome

shrewd plinthBOT
#

No card found for “virindian corruptor”

molten ember
#

@fickle path I can use it with [[Viridian Corrupter]] too

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

Also synergises with [[metastatic evangel]]

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

I think I might drop [[necrogen rotpriest]] i don't have much toxic

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

Actually that's bullshit i can potentially get a lot of toxic tokens, but my nontoken toxic is usually on creatures i might want to keep on the defensive

What do you all think?

#

Worth keeping ol'rotpriest around to stink it up another day?

#

[[Deepglow Skate]] considering this for the cuttingroom

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

Then again i can use it to double -1 -1 counters and plainswalker counters so there is a use

#

I think I'll sleep on it. But I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts

#

Dropped [[plague stinger]] for [[Chthonian Nightmare]]

shrewd plinthBOT
molten ember
#

Someone suggested to me swapping out some trilands for vivid lands like [[vivid grove]], depletion lands like [[peat bog]] and also [[gemstone mine]]
What do you all think?
