ShadowMasterNL oh yes tablet of completion could definetly go on the cut list you are right! Will remove to add archfiend of despair for sure. ( and yes to the heavy artifacts play groups lmao. I often play against Urza, Chief Artificer )

And also, yes i'm ok with the double edge sword that is Infernal Darkness. I would use it probably when i know i have more than enough swamps to not worry about doubling it for a while. But i'm also betting that opponents will target it first for removal leaving me the opportunity to tutor a combo.

Also, forgot to explain Karn, the Great Creator !

ShadowMasterNL Karn is a stax it prevents my opponent to use their artifacts activated abilities, so prevent them to tap them for mana and he will eventually pair with Infernal Darkness. This will make it hard for my opponents to remove or cast stuff for a while except if they run a lot of swamps in their decks.

ShadowMasterNL Archfiend of despair is on the list of potential creatures I just forgot the include it here as well! Was also recommended by Xtough on my evil dead deck!

For virtus the veiled I think I agree with your statement, I should look for something more synergic. What do we think about maybe cutting Grim Haruspex to include Archfiend of Despair ?

ShadowMasterNL Thank you very much for indulging me!

I play with a lot of control players or stax/tax players and I am also hoping to eventually compete with that deck as well that's why this deck needs to be strong.

I mostly run ''sacrifices'' for more mana, and I have a good amount of recursion which allow me to bring the creatures back to the field or my hand or the top of my deck so i'm not super worried about lacking creatures, especially since i run a lot of stax and taxes myself.

I think the only other sacrifice cards I run are for cards drawing which give me some synergy but maybe they could be contenders for cuts ? Village Rites Vampiric Rites Nasty End ?

I usually end up sacrificing Vile Entomber in order to bring him back and tutor some more.

But, I will say that I was wondering if I should add more creatures to it as well.

Xtough Pleasure having you back in the comment section, I followed your advice and was able to actually up the manabase to 35 without losing any competitiveness, thank you very much for cuts suggestions that are always on point!

ShadowMasterNL Thank you for your comment, but I have more questions if you don't mind.

Do you always run 33 to 35 lands on top of all the rituals like : Dark Ritual+ Culling the Weak, dorks like: Crypt Ghast and rocks for extra mana ?

Because I was aiming to add more for fast mana in this case considering my avg cmc is around 2.84 so I wanted to play as much as possible as fast as possible to gain the edge and get ahead of the curve.

Should I consider removing some rocks and add more lands ? Or do you have any suggestions for cuts ?

I am a bit stuck at the moment with what to remove and still keep the deck balanced, asking for a friend lmao. XD

Xtough You made so many valid points! I have a hard time choosing my fav mechanics for this deck (adhd lmao). But your comment made a lot of sense when i read it. So, probably I should have one separate deck for each sheoldred instead of having them together. I will explore this thought for sure.

I actually ordered Wound Reflection a few days past and wanted to incorporate it into this deck!

What other cuts ✂️ do you see for this deck if I want to focus on Sheoldred, the Apocalypse?

Should have maybe have less recursion and more drawing ?

Thank you very much for all your comments!!

Profet93 No worries for late replies here! :)

I wanna say, thank you so much for this comment.

It is quite rare that people suggest things to consider removing and I greatly appreciate it because sometimes when I worked on a deck for so long ''I don't see what to remove anymore'' so the external point of view is super appreciated and I will look into all that since all your suggestion are on point. insert salt emoji here

I definitely appreciate the explications as well like why and what I should replace/remove/add.

Do you have thoughts on my artifacts amount? I was unsure if I was running to many artifacts actually.

And I was also looking for good artifact recursion but aside from the rare Fortuitous Find and Anrakyr the Traveller I haven't truly found any.

But then again, I come back to the question is it really necessary in this deck for me to have that? I like to be protected on all fronts but sometimes sacrifices need to be made lmao.

Xtough Very good suggestions! Thank you, i will have to do some shopping to acquire them but they all seems like solid choices to boost Sheoldred. :) Do you have any more outside of the box suggestions ?

Boost*

Hi Profet93, for the combos I have Peer into the Abyss and my: Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Bloodletter of Aclazotz, i got Exquisite Blood and my : Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Sanguine Bond and finally i have Peer into the Abyss and Bloodletter of Aclazotz.
