This is a really well built deck. +1

+1 from me, Horobi is an absolute delight.

I find it amusing how he turns Maze of Ith from a mild deterrent to "NO TRESPASSING, VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOT, SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN"

I'm making a much simpler (and cheaper) Horobi deck now. Love your ideas. Unfortunately you set a high bar and now I have to buy another Mikaeus, the Unhallowed =(

Baton of Morale might be better than Trip Noose.

Aphotic Wisps kills and draws a card. Word of Binding kills x creatures. Ashes to Ashes and Sick and Tired kill 2 each.

No Rest for the Wicked can save your own creatures after one of the many boardwipes you have. .

Thanks for the upvotes HeroInMyOwnMind and Pornman

@carpecanum : You don't need Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, he's just a solid card that has a lot of benefits, but is by no means required.

I used to run Baton of Morale, but it got swapped for Sacred Armory. They have the same effect when Horobi, Death's Wail is out, but Sacred Armory is useful when he's not out (hence the swap, and why Trip Noose remained).

Of the 4 "removal" spells you mentioned, only Ashes to Ashes is really worth it. The other 3 are substantially weaker without Horobi, Death's Wail.

No Rest for the Wicked is a decent card if you have a board you really want after a wipe or have some enchantment recursion (or a way to make it a creature so that it recurs itself). However, I don't really care about having a lot of creatures, so the reusable spot recursion from Volrath's Stronghold and Phyrexian Reclamation are more than enough most of the time.

No Silence the Believers? Is it just too expensive?

Tragic Slip

Check out my horobi deck if you have momnent ,thanks

99% of the time I'm not going to want to untap one of my opponent's creatures, and the only creature that I would care about untapping is my Guul Draz Assassin. So it's not really worth the extra mana cost.

What about Cabal Coffers?

Never mind, just saw it. It wasn't grouped with lands.

Strip Mine, I found that Mystifying Maze, Maze of Ith, and Rogue's Passage killing my creatures very unfun, although it's a meta call.

Strip Mine is banned in Duel Commander so I don't run it. Of the other three, Maze of Ith is the most cost efficient and useful for when Horobi, Death's Wail isn't out. It's also nice when you're dealing with a creature like Rafiq of the Many

Nirkana Revenant?

+1'd. I love me an out-of-the-box commander.

Nefashu is pretty funny with Horobi but kinda slow coming out. How about a Scuttlemutt? Ramp, target ability and able to change some colors around if that comes up (I usually use it to turn things black against my Animar deck).

What about nykthos shrine to nyx for a swamp

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx would be good in exchange for a swamp

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is really only good for that swap if I have at least 3 devotion. I tend to have a fairly empty board most of the game due to playing a more control style deck. Most of the permanents that stick are usually colorless, or they'll be gone soon. However, if Endbringer finds its way into a version of this deck, then Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx would be a very good inclusion.

Love this deck. Thank you for sharing!

Tetzimoc, Primal Death seems like a decent fit here.

Is this a dual or a 4 player edh deck? I can not tell as you refer to the dual comander ban-list, but this deck doesn't feature in that section.

The deck is mainly just for casual group play. But it is toned enough and has a few higher level interactions to fit in a competitive setting. Due to this, I also followed the dual commander banned list at the time of making for anyone who wanted to bring it to that scene too.

It's been a while since I last looked at the dual banned list or have updated for new sets. So I'll probably get to that at some point soon.

I think Torpor Orb would be a fine addition, as you can't remove a creature before it enters, so a deck that utilizes cards like Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath or Agent of Treachery would be turned off

The problem with Torpor Orb is that it's just a rock that may or may not do anything. The deck is currently at a decent point in streamlining. There really isn't room for situational cards that could end up just being completely useless. Now, if there was an additional effect that I could always use, or even if it was on a creature, that would be different. But it's just an artifact that sits there that may not even help me in a game. It could actually hurt me by turning off my own effects like Grave Titan.

Also, as stated in the description "If it's a suggestion for a card addition, please say what you would take out for it and why". While it's nice that you want to help by suggesting a card. Random card suggestions are almost meaningless. I look through all cards (up to the set the deck was updated for) that could legally be included. If you think something would be good, I probably considered it at some point, and deemed something else was better. So if you want to suggest something, state what it should replace and give the reason why it's a better fit.
