    The alt art of this dragon is hands down my favorite card art. I've never fallen in love with a card so fast. I'm planning on using him in the Orzhov precon as a hidden commander

    @cinaedpv Před 3 lety +37

    As a pricy option, Smothering Tithe. You give someone a card making them lose a life and you force them to spend 2 mana or you get a treasure. If combined with Anointed Procession, it is 2 mana or you get 2 treasures.

    • @davidrosenberg9615

    Necropolis regent with shadrix actually deals twelve, because you can put a +1/+1 counter on the turn you play him and before you attack. As well as being able to instantly one hit opponents once he does.

      Any anti-W/B sword would allow you to bypass the inkling, while doubling the combat damage benefit. Sword of Light/Shadow get you creatures back, Truth/Justice proliferate your army, etc.

    Solemnity is another way to break parity with the commander by blanking that ability choice.
    Also, adding persist creatures + Sac outlet combos with Solemnity while also synergizing with the commander.
    It’s an interesting deck because it creates non-bos and combos depending on how you play the cards. Very situational. Makes for an interesting piloting experience. Might be frustrating though. Have to play test it a bit.

    Revel in Riches, Blood Artist, -1/-1 anthem for your opponents(Elesh Norn), token generators, and sacrifice outlets. Give your enemies inklings, which will die to -1/-1 anthem(s) and ping them due to Blood Artist or give you tons of treasure from Revel.

  • @KostasTheDark
    @KostasTheDark Před 3 lety

    I'm going all in on the Elesh approarch to this deck. Basically I'm running a lot of -1/-1 effects like Kaervek, Elesh, Night of Souls' Betrayal, etc to generally shrink the opposing field. It just happens to also shrink my field a bit, but that's why something Shadrix can counteract with +1/+1 counters and, of course, giving the opponent shrunken Inklings.
    Since some of these cards will also shrink my stuff and I don't know what order they're coming in, I'm also running Dictate of Erebos and Grave Pact if I feel like making Inklings of my own.
    A few sac outlets here and there, a bit of reanimation, some mana serious artifact-based ramp and boom: One ugly deck to annoy my friends with. I call it Shadrix's Uncomfortable Hugs. Thankfully, there is so little synergy with this type of effect that I didn't have too much trouble actually shrinking the deck list down to size. Pretty easy build.
