Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Yes, the name is based off my favorite childhood Yu-Gi-Oh card.\n\nWith that out of the way, this deck is some weird jank. The typical way to make Imotekh strong is by doing artifact loops recurring cards like Junk Diver and Workshop Assistant with a sacrifice outlet to make either an infinitely huge army of Necron Warrior tokens and swinging out or having a sacrifice payoff like a Blood Artist and draining the table down. I don't like either of those plans. So, I decided to make this deck as unique as possible based on 2 restrictions:\n\n1) No unique precon cards from Necron Dynasties other than Imotekh (You can run a card like Mind Stone because it appears elsewhere, but you can't run a card like Canoptek Spyder)\n2) No 2 or 3 card infinite loops which either kill everyone on the spot or produce an infinite amount of tokens\n\nBy following these 2 guidelines, I produced a deck with many unique cards unseen in most other brews of this commander and unique cards which don't get to be seen. And by doing so, I believe you can provide a unique and interesting gameplay loop that people can enjoy. For instance, how many decks are running both Gravestone Strider and Jack-O'-lantern? Now, this deck is still a work-in-progress. Yet, I feel comfortable with how it is so far to share it. \n\nThe main idea of the list is to play into a strength of mono-black: Aristocrat/Sacrifice strategies. Yet, you do it with weird cards. Let's give an example. You can sacrifice permanents to draw cards. But, you're using artifacts like Mephitic Draught or Gilded Pinions and sacrificing them to cards like Bag of Devouring or Tarrian's Journal for card draw. You can return creatures from your graveyard to your hand. But, you're using the second ability of Salvage Titan and Metalwork Colossus instead of resurrecting them to the battlefield.\n\nThis deck is interesting in so far that it is a slow, army-in-a-can commander deck where you are encouraged to lose your best pieces and are okay if a board wipe wrecks your board. Against cards that exile or return all your permanents like Farewell or Cyclonic Rift, this deck will struggle. In fact, this deck will struggle against a lot of matchups. Yet, I find that this kind of uniqueness and creativity in deck builiding is what Commander should be about. Whether this deck can be optimized isn't the point. Sometimes, you should just try to see if you can do interesting actions regardless of your Win-Loss record. So, I hope you enjoy this brew!\n\nP.S. One of my favorite interactions in this deck is with the card called Gravestone Strider (GS). You exile itself in your graveyard as part of the activated ability and target another artifact in your graveyard to put it into exile. Imotekh will see the GS get exiled before the GS's ability resolves. Therefore, you get 2 Necron Warriors and then 2 more once the GS ability resolves. So for 2 mana, you get 4 artifact creature tokens at instant speed. I find this so cool.\n"}]}
