MTG Salvation

Mogis, God of Slaughter

Hey commander friends. Wow if you clicked on this thread and expected a competitive deck you're going to be really disappointed. This is a take on Mogis, God of Slaughter.
You might be saying, "Mogis? Are you serious? There are better options in R/B you stupid idiot." Well first of all, calm down. It's just a Magic: The Gathering deck, nothing to get upset about.
Second, I chose the angry cow man because he's an enchantment(which happens to be relevant), he's also the only creature in this pile of cards. Try not to let my card choices.... enchant you.
Jesus...



Credit for the original deck idea goes to tasemaster Stephen Green of SCG. Saw him run a version of this deck on their commander versus series and I had to build it. #teamgreen

Also wouldn't mind suggestions. Stuff I'm planning on adding but haven't gotten around to yet Vance's Blasting Cannons

Had a bit, but it got et.

Jokulhaups, Everlasting Torment, Last Laugh, Leyline of the Void, Torpor Orb, Cursed Totem, Repercussion: all play well in my Mogis deck.

Cheers!

Ohh. I do like Torpor Orb, Cursed Totem and Repercussion also looks good.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Repercussion is insane if you're not running any creatures. I had one out when a buddy, forgetting it was there, cast a Chain Reaction on an eight creature board, winning me the game But you're more heavy on destroy effects, so I'm not 100% sold on it being the best here.

Well, Chain Reaction seems like another great option, I can't believe I overlooked that. Thanks, that just makes ol reper that much more insane

Repercussion + Blasphemous Act

Classic finisher in my Mogis deck

I believe that is what we in the business call, "a blast"

Ch-ch-ch-ch Changes
Out ------- In
Wild Evocation --------- Obliterate
Black Sun's Zenith ------- Decree of Annihilation
Mizzium Mortars ------- Damnable Pact
Barter in Blood -------- Cursed Totem
Wild Evocation didn't wow me, same with mortars. Zenith and Barter kill my commander, so they are out.
Included some more brutal cards, hope to slam the door on a game with obliterate or decree. Cursed totem for beating up on creature decks. Damnable pact for more card draw.

How have the LD cards played out? My Mogis is pingers and LD and is still sitting at zero wins =(

I haven't played with the decree yet, hasn't arrived in the mail yet. (hopefully coming today)
I've only gotten to cast the Obliterate once since that was a fairly recent addition, but I won when I did. After it resolved I just beat them to death with mogis and drained them out with Baneful Omen and Palace Siege.

Why not add Æther Flash to the deck since it helps deal with Token Decks. Plus works wonders with Death Pits of Rath

Pyrohemia, Pestilence, and last laugh are all obscene with mogis. The last one is even better because it acts as a second vicious shadows which tends to be obscene in creature killing decks. Also hilarious with obliterate and jokulhaups....

edit: I also forgot to mention burning sands. Who said red/black couldn't do enchantress?

Pyrohemia and Pestilence works great with Death Pits of Rath. Turn your Mogis on and his indestructability will allow them to remain on the board forever. Keeping the board clear of unwanted threats.

Wound Reflection for even more damage.

I have for sure been thinking about Pyrohemia and Pestilence but I haven't figured out what I'm going to cut for them yet.
Last Laugh for some reason does not seem that good to me. With pyro and pest you can control the amount of damage, with LL, I can see myself dying to that more often than not.

And Burning Sands is already in the deck. That card can be so gross I love it

I have thought about adding Æther Flash. But tokens has not given a huge headache yet, if they become a problem I will find room for it but as of right now it's floating around in the maybe pile.

Æther Flash isnt just for tokens. It works wonders with Death Pits of Rath. Since they come into play, take 2 damage, then die from the pits. Easy way to make sure no one plays any creatures.

Last laugh is more like an unexpected nuke waiting to go off. I would take it that you tend to do far more damage than you receive most of the time.

I missed burning sands? whoops! Then how about tainted aether to compliment the douchebaggery? You seem to like putting them in a painful quandary anyway.....

My feeling was I already have stuff for that effect like Lethal Vapors and Spreading Plague. They kind of do the job already and don't require a second enchantment to work (Death Pits of Rath)

Believe me I also considered Tainted Æther but that miiight be going a little too far. It is also floating around in my maybe pile.

Changes
In------Out
Pestilence -------- Caustic Tar
Wound Reflection -------- Subversion

Ok so subversion might be one of the biggest do-nothings in a deck of do-nothings. My only reservations about replacing it with WR is the higher casting cost and the less devotion. Oh well, sucks to suck

Pestilence is a more versatile damage dealer than caustic tar, which costs more and uses a land, so that looked like an easy cut. Same devotion, and cheaper to cast. I went with pest over pyrohemia because I have more black sources

What about Trinisphere for the folks trying to cast spells for free?

Cheers!

I was literally thinking about this as I was walking to the store this morning. I'm going to give it a shot when I pick up a copy.

In-----Out
Night of Souls' Betrayal-------Consuming Vapors
Night seems like it would be good for making the game a drag for my opponents, kills some utility creatures, tokens and mana dorks.
Vapors was ok. But that's just it, it was ok. I don't think I'll miss it too much.

In ---- Out
Jokulhaups ----- Grave Betrayal
I had a Jokulhaups I found in oen of my boxes, I decided to slot it in.
I took out betrayal because 7 mana is a lot for an enchantment. Also When I have Repercussion and want to cast Blasphemous Act and some of my opponents creatures are mine, it just feels bad

Aether Flash is a fine Narset deterrent, if that is a factor. Last Laugh DOES blow up in my face often, but is still fun, so your premonitions there are on point.

Pox?

Stranglehold?

I picked up a Smoke recently and am currently reworking my Mogis. Hmmm...

Cheers!
