Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"I built a Death's Shadow deck for Modern, based around dipping into negative life totals to abuse Death Shadow's static ability. It's capable of generating upwards of 50 power out of Death's shadow, and you chase it with Fling or Rite of Consumption to OHKO your opponent. In commander, this task is substantially harder do to larger life totals, singleton deck building constraints and multiple opponents. \n\nThis deck aims to ramp as hard as Esper is capable of, tutor for the combo pieces and then cast & copy your Rite of Consumption to obliterate all opposition. Will it work? I honestly doubt it, but I'm looking forward to proxying this deck and trying it out. The biggest Achilles' heel of the deck is it's over reliance on Ad Nauseum, lacking basically any counterplay if the card gets countered. I'd hesitate to cast it unless I was holing up a negate to back it up, or my opponents were tapped out and it was their endstep before mine. \n\nI'd welcome any feedback, looking for ways to make it more efficient, or even overhauling it into a different commander. I'm currently thinking about trying to make Elesha, Who Smiles at Death fit, and I think Mardu would be a cool colour identity to build around, but the lack of blue protection hurts. It could also be built in Grixis, but then it misses out on Phyrexian Unlife, which I consider to be the top \"Lich\" spell of the deck. Given that "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Lich "},{"insert":"itself is at minimum a 200$ card for me and "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"isn't that good "},{"insert":"I'm hesitant to cut Phyrexian Unlife, and the deck'd need a solid core to justify the cut. \n"}]}
