k'rrik son of yawgmoth cEDH deck tech

Typical mono black. Pay life for greatness. k'rrik son of yawgmoth is a turbo combo commander. But this deck is built to have resilience for longer games if the combo fails.

This man's knowledge of his deck is beautiful, you can see he could have talked about his deck for 2 more hours if you letted him

[@cedhtv]

Well the actual recording was 90 min long. And we had to stop for some overtime.

[@Amillionbillionstars]

@@cedhtv post the whole thing. This is amazing!

[@chewdustfreeze]

As a black mage I would like to pay my respects to him. Well done

[@user-ge7fq9yb6y]

The people want an updated K'rrik video =D, thanks so much for keeping it updated on moxfield. Yall are the gods or Krrik.

[@akaqueequeg]

Also k'rrik is super satisfying to play, the praetor grasp lines is testimony of that. One of my favourite commanders

[@doomerfanclub1587]

If you’re looking for a K’rrik list to play, look no further. This list is the gospel.

[@mandielyn0416]

Mons, your deck tech series is easily the best in existence. They are A. The most entertaining, and B. They give you the best feel and idea of how the deck operates. Thank you for all of your work. My favorite CEDH channel period.

[@cedhtv]

wow thank you.

[@Jrocknrolla]

What a good video / walkthrough of hte deck, it's strategies and reasoning for the choices. Jess.. awesome discussion on your choices and playstyle. Mons, excellent interviewing and directing Jess to cover all the bases. Well done!

[@cedhtv]

Thank you.

[@skmd92]

We need more Krrick content. This is my main deck. I am such a fan of building lines to use others underworld breaches!

Ever since 2015 when I first started black is my favorite color currently building krrik

[@TheFallenA]

I saw a version of k'rrik with equipments.

[@davidpipes6805]

Mons is a good player so he is very critical of most decks he has on the channel, but I can tell he genuinely enjoyed this deck and the mastermind behind it.

[@cedhtv]

You know me. Yes I am really critical of decks. And I dont like krrik in generall. But I like this list. Just listening to Jess and his ideas behind cards and the WHY! Makes it come together.

[@joshpickering5039]

Keep coming back to this video time and time again. I love K’rrik, it’s such an interesting Commander.. this video is by far the best explanation of all the play lines available 😄

[@nikolaskohl4269]

Such a unique deck and I love all the outside the box choices and ideas.

[@wickedsquared2]

my new favorite deck and love that this video really teaches me how to properly play the deck, thank you.

[@felipeloyola3474]

Great video! I watched it from beginning to end 4 times and now my credit card is maxed out 😅

[@mizzlchieizzl]

The May update is pretty nice too : ) Watched this video several times. BUT I really just want to comment, best video thumbnail on this one! I'm naming my Krik deck "But First I Win" after that

[@amarauk9687]

36 minutes of k'rrik talk? Please more

[@cedhtv]

haha. I try to keep my videos short. This was a long one actually.

[@dave_8600]

Mons, you are a great interviewer. This was great

[@TheFallenA]

Amazing deck dude

[@TripsAhoy]

This is very cool to see and hear about. T.y.

[@Aztecdragon137]

I love this deck and love the inventerwiew style deck teck

[@cedhtv]

Thank you. Yeah I think they are really good.

[@akaqueequeg]

I have played K'rrik and is the only deck I have ever got two turn 1 wins within in the same afternoon. He is super fast but once you pod is familiar with him you get a lot of hate and mulligans for removal. So you need to go a mid ranged control build. But the turbo k'rrik is beautiful when it works.

[@skittles1736]

Waiting for my Posty Secret Lair

[@gokuvssummonerswar8984]

We got Braids to make Leyline somewhat enjoyable in the early and midrange. If we make the option to clear enchantments a thing, Braids will be a value piece and get a few draws if they decide to keep those RoLs around. ㅇㅅㅇ 👌

[@estebangaymerv437]

Amazing video!!

[@cedhtv]

thank you.

[@saraba__]

love it

[@jerryrgzz1571]

17:51 nice sequence

[@SIIghtIyBetter]

Thoughts on adding orcish bowmaster? What would you cut?

[@mirkomigliavacca9894]

Strange Question! What do you think about Defence Gird as a "Anti-Counter route" ? ^^ I love that card, very underrated imo. Have a Nice day ya'll, Love you

[@NoBody-ro3xj]

We used defense grid and some people still do but if i remember correctly it was slowish, and hurt more than it helped, as it stopped people from responding to threats and stopping us from using removal

[@rafaelfernandespereira5907]

Hey there, great deck! I Loved it! Is Balthor and Fleshwrither really good? I feel they are so slow... I play 20 games and I use them 1 time...

[@KntrellCL]

Its good enough. Can be pulled from 5 mana… but most important is that every single piece itself is already too good to pass on. Fleshwrither can be an entomb effect ( vile entomber) or a reanimation spell (balthor) can be a second necrotic ooze and can pull a win from its own

[@lightgren8ds267]

This is my first cedh deck. I’m pretty new but could anyone put out some advice and tips of what this deck wants to do? First, I do understand they kind of explain it in the video but like step by step? Some of the combos seem really confusing and I just want to learn and get better with this deck. I’m going with the list on the link for this vid. I’d love some help! Thanks in advance if anyone out there replies.

[@michaelwilson3418]

How do you feel about sheoldred, the apocalypse? I play in a pretty heavy stax meta and one of the guys in our group has added it. She has done some major work in our meta.

[@cedhtv]

I dont think it is good in this deck but in stax deck it could see some play. A bit expensive tho.

[@Tanpopohimawari]

@@cedhtv she absolutely is good in this deck, makes drawing your deck with vilis life positive

[@LRSSkySoldier]

​@@Tanpopohimawari I was about to comment this, pay 4 life, draw 4 cards, gain 8 life (net +4). So good.

[@frago321]

I don't see the Underworld Breach combo explained (with Preator's Grasp)

[@frago321]

ohh there it is!

[@papaburgundy6385]

How does pestilence win game ? If u pay 2 life no mana to activate ?

[@Guyu]

Send the attacks his way!

[@cedhtv]

That is the life of mono black.

[@crovax1375]

Would it be worth it to play Snow lands and add Withering Wisps to the deck?

[@KntrellCL]

on my first list i was playing snow covered swamps and withering wisps. it was cool at the beggining until i realized it was consistent enough. also, tons of times im sacrificing my lands with lake and scorched ruins

[@koriemcnamara2977]

Why no new Sheoldred

[@cedhtv]

I think it is to slow. Not a bad card but a bit situational and slow. This deck is just trying to be fast.

[@rodgersmith6593]

No Onix Smog? 😢 Figured it was decent with Saw in Half and Hoarding Broodlord.

[@cedhtv]

It is a bit expensive and kriik alredy have a bunch of good combo options.

[@burocraciaeso3894]

There´a problm with the moxfield decklit

[@cedhtv]

I think it is solved. But yes he had some problems with his moxfield for some reason.

[@johnlynch660]

Hello has there been any updates ? I see your current list And how do you beat humility now ? Hope you grasp it ? Been playing your build a bit

[@cedhtv]

he might have update it but the video is not that old.

[@johnlynch660]

@@cedhtv yes but my question being his up dated list has Sheoldred, the Apocalypse replacing Aetherflux Reservoir my question being how to beat humility Do you try to Praetor's Grasp the humility before it’s played ? And how can you win with it in play I have a couple people playing it from time to time locally the video is fantastic and goes into great detail I should have been more clear with my question I apologize that being said I’m also wondering why the choice of Braids, Arisen Nightmare ? I’ve used it to sac my own mana crypt at low life but was curious about his reasoning

[@cedhtv]

You have to win before humility comes into play. Black just can't get rid of it. Or you have to win without creatures afterwards.

[@squeaker6971]

​@@cedhtv feed the swarm

[@tylewis8598]

I saw a list that plays Professor Onyx with Chain of Smog. I find that interesting in mono black! What are your thoughts?

[@cedhtv]

I personally like it. But a lot of people think itis a bit expensive. I have to agree. But for mono black I think we need everything we can get. I don't think it is something for this commander. But other mono black commanders might like it.

[@KntrellCL]

Hello! We are now on hoarding broodlord combo in the deck! Having a sans krrik combo

[@jtmoney606]

⁠@@KntrellCL what’s the combo with hoarding broodlord please? I’m building krrik and was gonna do the chain of smog professor onyx combo

[@KntrellCL]

@@jtmoney606 hello! I just updated my primer with 7 lines with broodlord

[@BreakingAmerican]

Do you guys think Gix would be a good addition to this deck.

[@BreakingAmerican]

Ps returning player from child hood and 2010, commander is so cool and y’all are doing great work

[@cedhtv]

Saddly I dont think it would be a good card for the deck.

[@castillomartidomingo]

decklist?

[@cedhtv]

It is in the description. www.moxfield.com/decks/6NkrPdOXGkeIM0KSyNborw but here you go.

[@Iam4lpha]

just checked it out, and no aetherflux anymore??

[@CaptainDaws]

Wasnt your point about comparing leyline to scooze just wrong? He just told you it fuels your devotion for Gray Merchant and Nykthos, it literally is doing something for you which you said it isn't, if the point is that it isnt a creature that you cant buff/attack in to get triggers/sacrifice for spells/etc that's the payoff for it being an enchantment I'd say which is harder to interact with.

[@fosterdawson7339]

I think he was talking about the part about scooze gaining him life which would let him do more stuff with the commander

[@DoubleBeast]

Relax lol. Måns made the point that Leyline unfortunately can't be used _proactively_ to do more. A black permanent increasing your devotion to black is a very minimal passive upside that's practically a given. But Leyline isn't going to net you a card like Dauthi Voidwalker can. Måns agreed that Leyline _is_ still a good card though.

[@cedhtv]

correct.

[@MageSkeleton]

The featured list and the provided decklist link are different deck builds. i find it most interesting you do not run Leshrac's Sigil, As it's a win condition with k'rrik son of yawgmoth and Aetherflux Reservoir. i can understand why you wouldn't want to run Professor Onyx and Chain of Smog as they go against alot of what k'rrik son of yawgmoth wants to do especially since the black color pie has creature support above all else. i find it really interesting you would remove Sensei's Divining Top and Bolas's Citadel as they are just card advantage and with Aetherflux Reservoir it's another win condition you don't need k'rrik son of yawgmoth on the field to win. i get that Oriq Loremage is "slow" because it's a tap ability but wow, your not running Mastermind's Acquisition but your running Diabolic Tutor. if Pestilience is a "Win condition" for you why not do the Pestilence Demon combo? The only reason no one runs it is because you have to make both k'rrik son of yawgmoth and the Demon indestructible and give the demon Lifelink, which can be done with Rush of Vitality. But most builds run Whip of Erobos. i personally don't know how Razaketh, the Foulblooded can do much in this deck without running The Book of Vile Darkness, Dreadhorde Invasion, Bitterblossom, or at least Reassembling Skeleton or Gravecrawler. Something that gives you easy creature access. i recently found Cut Down and i love the kill spell. Allows me to fully stop using Disfigure and Lash of Malice. i find it really interesting that you removed the card. i personally will never run Ancient Tomb in my k'rrik son of yawgmoth deck, i don't use Phyrexian Tower and i probably should. How are you not running Radiant fountain? it's literally a land that comes into play UNtapped and basically gives you TWO mana. With what your deck is, i'm surprised your not running Massacre Wurm/Girl. i'm gonna stick to my Doomsday build. i will slowly put your decklist together to better understand it but i don't get how it works and it looks like it's trying to do things other than winning. Your deck looks like it needs a Font of Agonies, Drag to the Underworld, Fountain of Renewal, Prism Ring, Diamond Mare, Dream Devourer, Fog of Gnats, Mindslicer, Shambling Ghast, Will o the wisp, Urborg Skeleton, Concealing Curtains, and Disowned Ancestor.

[@KntrellCL]

Sigil combo requires a lot of lifes to start off. Outside the combo it does literally nothing relevant for the game. Resevoir was recently swap for Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Accomplish almost the same task but easier to cast, fodder for razzy, devotion for gary and punishes blue farm decks. About pestilence demon, you dont need to make it indestructible or anything, you can just win a lot of lifes and then stack the ability multiple times… the reason of not running it is that you need krrik in play plus 5 colorless. If you are going to use an entomb effect for it, vilis accomplish almost the same task (getting rid of creatures) meanwhile drawing your deck. Citadel was removed since we have other sans krrik combo for it, Hoarding Broodlord. Both combos folds to drannith. Timming with citadel is awkward since you have already cast krrik 1-2 times plus some combat damage… usually by the time you cast it, you probably already did your land drop for it and already down to 16-18 lifes. My list is heavy on lands, i was hitting lands most of the time. The card is not bad, is just that i dont need more combo pieces. Sensei divining top usually is a dead card in early game. I dont have extra mana to spare. Masterminds acquisitin acts just like diabolic tutor, people tends to misunderstand the use of masterminds acquisition. You CANT get cards from exile zone with it… and recently i even cut diabolic tutor too. About the board wipes, massacre wurm doesnt kill any relevant creature (most of them are x/3+) specially drannith. Massacre girl is a 5 mana board wipe and can kill your own krrik. Its a no go. Razaketh is a necrotic ooze tool to assamble its own combo, but also has pretty stable lines outside necrotic. Hope you give it a try. A+, doesnt need extra fodders, you can start easy combo lines with 1 creature into the win. Ancient tomb is one of the most important lands in the deck. You can play on turn 1 a drop 2 letting you cast krrik easily on turn 2. No other line can do that except for city of traitors, which is worst if the game goes longer. Radiant fountain was tested, but removed since i prioritize swamp count for my lake of the dead mana base. The deck has been built in a way that you can win in low life count. I even run fetches for other purposes. The last paragraph i dont even have words to respond for such a bad recommendation 😅
