I just posted a main comment about this but I read that you liked Grixis & just wanted to let you know about a deck I made that is Grixis landfall. Ashnod, the Uncaring is a 5 drop that has the ability which allows you to copy a trigger of an artifact if you had to sacrifice it to activate. My build uses cards like Liqui-metal Coating & Torque along with Mycosynth Lattice to make all of the lands I play artifacts. I run all of the Grixis fetch lands, fabled passage, prismatic vista & myriad landscape (I think I have a few more other fetches as well but can't list off the top of my head) Anyways, I mainly run those lands with the Grixis shock lands & the rest are basics mostly. The deck mainly takes advantage of the blue creatures with landfall & the Minoraur who gives extra combat steps as well as the elemental with landfall that goads all of an opponent's creatures. The deck is quite fun & you actually can play a pretty high mana curve due to the amount of lands you are going to have in play. Crucible of Worlds is a must as well as cards that can help you recur artifacts just in case they destroy it.

Also, I was going to put this in my original reply but I never thought about animating Attractions lol. That is genius. I built a deck from an Unfinity commander named "Dee Kay, Finder of the Lost" who does different things depending on what result you roll on a dice. I do run some attraction stuff due to them allowing me to roll dice but my win con is sort of a boring one. Anyways, the combo consists of going infinite untap triggers with the Dramatic Reversal combo; after I achieve that I proceed to activate Vexing Puzzlebox an infinite amount of times. (It taps for mana & tells you to roll a D20 & note down the results. When you have 100 counters, you can tap it & tutor for an artifact) Either my opponents will concede because theoretically I will roll an infinite amount of the number 2 (which makes Dee Kay drain each opponent for 2 life) or, I will use the puzzlebox's tutor ability to grab The Millennium Calendar (fairly new to the deck but it helps a ton). and play control until my next untap step, then the calendar will get a charge counter & during my main phase & can restart the infinite untapping which will cause the calendar to trigger & each opponent will lose 1,000 life.

Cursed Totem? In a GRUUL deck? That wants to turn LANDS into creatures? Points for moxie but.... Should we mention that it says "players" and not "opponents"?

You’ll have treasure tokens and they won’t 😉

@@decktechsfordecks You certainly CAN work around it. Just make sure Baeloth isn't your only non-land/non-creature mana source. After all your opponents will still have THEIR artifacts and they'll be none too happy about Baeloth.^^

It just looked like you were implying that it was a huge nonbo with all the question marks and caps so I wanted to point out the solid synergy in case you missed it. You also get to choose when you play an impactful stax piece so just don’t play it unless it puts you in a winning position.

Braids is a fun one to build, maybe I’ll have to give it a shot soon!

I think it can work!

Send it!!!

@decktechsfordecks hey its on backlog now... currently finishing Preston, and Hofri builts... the last 10 cuts are Always the hardest 😭

It definitely would be I just wish it was black or red then it be even better!

I might give that a go if I see enough demand! 😁

There’s honestly a pretty solid amount of wincons in mono black that come to mind but it all depends on how heavy you lean into each strategy. I could see aetherflux being super busted if you lean hard into the artifact storm start.Or we go obnix and try to drain the table 1 landfall trigger plus braids and they are losing 5 life a turn.

@@decktechsfordecks I'll give that aetherflux a try. Thanks.

I dig it!

Thanks man haha! 💪

I mean, I don't think being the most key piece in the origin story of inuargably the most important character in mtg lore, along with one of the main characters in what is considered by many the best mtg book ever made is "short end of the stick" but sure, I want the list too

@ I just meant out of the two brothers he was clearly the side character. “Short end of the stick” was the wrong way to phrase it I guess. Apologies to the more informed, I am fairly new to Magic and have mostly ingested the lore in short form summary format; which kind of breezes over Mishra’s character outside of being a narrative vehicle for Urza.

@@markmatteson8490 if you have only read from the Brother's war set lore posts, I reccomend you actually check out the novel "The Brother's war", it's much longer and more detailed, and I'm enjoying it a lot personally. Plus the stories from last year focus more on Urza, but that makes narrative sense since it was just Teferi looking back in time to see what he could learn about the Sylex. Admittedly you are kinda right that he is a tad more secondary than Urza, but it's less noticeable from the book.

@ I didn’t know there was a novel, that’s awesome! I’ll check that out, thanks for the recommendation. I started playing during All Will be One so I kind of worked my way backwards through the Phyrexia/Brothers’ War storyline.

He's a vert good vehicle commander
