FAQ
Q: How can I add my list to the database?
A: Just create a new thread under the 1 vs 1 Commander Decklists or Multiplayer Commander Decklists subforums. I update the database about once every 2 weeks. Do not forget to use [deck][/deck] tags. Only threads with a decklist in them are added to the database.
Q: I posted a new thread. How come my list is not appearing in the database?
A: Did you include a decklist using [deck][/deck] tags? Was the list posted under the 1v1 or Multiplayer decklist subforum? If this is the case you can try to manually request your list to be added by posting a reply in this thread.
Q: How can I remove my list from the database?
A: Just delete the thread and after some time the decklist should dissapear. If you do not want to delete the thread you can always manually request to remove the decklist by posting a reply here.
Q: I changed my commander but my decklist is still listed under the old commander. How can I change this?
A: Unfortunatelly, changes in the commander are not detected when I update the database. The only way for me to know you changed commander is by telling me here.
Q: The last updated date for my list in the database is not correct. When will this be updated?
A: About every two weeks the first few pages of the subforums are checked to add new decks to the database and update information of known decks. Bumping your thread to the first page will make sure your last updated date is updated as well. If you do not want to bump your thread to the first page you will have to wait a little bit longer. Every now and then the entire database is updated. As this process takes a lot longer I only do this about once every three months.
Q: Why was my list suddenly removed from the database?
A: This is a tricky question as some decklists are removed from the database or simply not shown because of various reasons. The most common one is that I only allow one decklist per commander per subforum per user. The reason I remove duplicates is because most of the time these are reposts of the same decklist.
I also filter some of the older lists to reduce the size of the database. For every commander the following decklists are shown:
- The 10 youngest decklists for every commander are shown. If a decklists is 5 years old but there is only one decklist for that commander, that list will be shown.
- Every list that was posted and/or updated in the last year is shown. If your list disapeared from the database you can always update it and bump your thread to the first page, that should make it appear again in the database.
- A primer is always shown, regarless of how old they are.
- Decklists with at least 3 pages of discussion are always shown, regardless of how old the are.
A: I currently want to keep the database as close to the official rules as possible. This might change in the future if enough people have a similar requests. I've had some requests to add the Nephilim or Genju of the Realm to the database. For these type of decks I would currently suggest starting a decklist database under the variant commander decklists subforum.

1. You dredge Kozilek and Lotus Petal: You just let Kozilek reshuffle and try again.
2. You dredge Land and Lotus Petal: Use the Gitrog trigger to draw Kozilek and pitch him to reshuffle and try again.
3. You dredge Kozilek and Land: This is where the fun happens. You use the Gitrog trigger to draw Lotus Petal, then allow the reshuffle to resolve and end up with a two card library. You play and crack Lotus Petal for B, gaining 1 gravestorm. Now you dredge with Dakmor again. You will always dredge the only two cards in your library, the Land and the Kozilek, so make sure you order the triggers so you reshuffle before you draw. Now you have to draw a card, which gives us three sub-cases:
A. You draw Kozilek: Just pitch him to you discard outlet and reshuffle, which returns us to the three card library state that we want.
B. You draw Lotus Petal: We are back in option 3, so you just repeat what we do there and enter one of these subcases again.
C. You draw the Land: You pitch the land and use the Gitrog trigger to draw, which gives us two sub-sub-cases:
I. You draw Kozilek: Just pitch him to your discard outlet and reshuffle, which returns us to the three card library state that we want.
II. You draw Lotus Petal: Pitch another land from your hand to draw a card, which will always be Kozilek. Play and crack the Lotus Petal, then discard Kozilek to reshuffle what now becomes a four card library with two lands. Dredge Dakmor again, which now has four possible outcomes:
a. You dredge two Lands: Put the draw trigger on the stack, then dredge with Dakmor again. You end up with a four card library and a draw trigger on the stack, which is scenario d.
b. You dredge Lotus Petal and Kozilek: Reshuffle and try again.
c. You dredge a Land and Lotus Petal: Draw a card from Gitrog trigger, which gives two scenarios:
i. You draw Kozilek: pitch it and reshuffle, putting you back in the four card library situation.
ii. You draw the other Land: Pitch it and draw Kozilek, then pitch him and put yourself back in the four card situation.
d. You dredge a Land and Kozilek: Reshuffle and then draw, which gives three scenarios:
i. You draw a Land: now you are back to the three card library
ii. You draw Kozilek: discard him and reshuffle putting you back to the four card library
iii. You draw Lotus Petal: Play it and crack it, then Dredge with Dakmor, which gives two scenarios:
AA. You hit two Lands: draw Kozilek and discard it, which puts you back into the four card library situation
BB. You hit a Land and Kozilek: Draw the other land then reshuffle, which puts you back in the three card library situation.
Once you've generated enough mana and gravestorm you play Bitter Ordeal and exile everyone's libraries.
Holy crap that was super complicated but I believe it works. Let me know if I screwed it up anywhere. Maybe I can make a flowchart.

The discussion in this OP is pretty outdated and needs to be rewritten, but the decklist is up to date
Hey guys, looking for some feedback on my new Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord deck. This deck kind of evolved from Glissa, the Traitor list, which I was never really satisfied with. I was missing a lot of the top graveyard focused cards like Living Death and Survival of the Fittest from back when I played The Mimeoplasm a lot, so I decided to give Jarad a go. The main plan of the deck is to fill up graveyards to make stuff like Lord of Extinction, Sewer Nemesis, and Nighthowler really big so that I can sac them to Greater Good to draw a ton of cards, or to Jarad to just outright kill people. I'm looking to stay away from infinite combos since my group tends to frown upon them, but basically everything else is fair game. One of the biggest problems I have encountered so far is obviously graveyard hate, especially Bojuka Bog. Krosan Grip can handle a lot of the artifact and enchantment variants like Tormod's Crypt and Relic of Progenitus, but there's really nothing I can do against the Bog, since the only way I can think of to answer it is playing the Stifle effects that are only in blue. Anyways, the deck likes to use Dredge cards along with stuff like Memory Jar to fill up graveyards. I'm looking to find spots for a few more things like Altar of Dementia, Yavimaya Elder, and Filth to make my fatties unblockable, so if you guys have suggestions for cuts they would be greatly appreciated.Here's the list:Average CMC: 3.12

For mana rocks, Sol Ring and Mana Crypt are in a class way beyond all other forms of ramp that are legal in this format. They're more in line with Moxen and Black Lotus than they are with other typical ramp like Thran Dynamo or Skyshroud Claim. A turn 1 or turn 2 Sol Ring often ends the game before it really begins, if not technically, at least effectively. I remember a recent game where I had my Vampiric Tutor in my opening hand and was thinking "I don't want to get Sol Ring because I would prefer to have a longer and more interactive game." I pass the turn, player 2 drops Sol Ring. He passes the turn, player 3 drops Sol Ring. At this point I basically have to get my Sol Ring just to stay in the game and not be overwhelmed. Player 4 doesn't have a Sol Ring and essentially doesn't get to play. This is the type of game that I hate and it's caused mainly by Sol Ring and the 1 mana unconditional tutors being legal in this format.
