K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth | EDH Budget Deck Tech $50 | Life Control | Magic the Gathering | Commander 

@lolimmune I looked up vilis and just started laughing. This general is so busted it’s unreal.

lolimmune pay four life to draw 4? Yes.

It really is. Last night I was playing this deck and at one point I had k'rrik and vilis out and realized with sign in blood I could pay 6 life to draw 8 cards lol it's crazy, if you do it right you'll draw at least 1 or 2 cards every time you play something

@@JohnDoe-df7bl It is banned, which is pretty stupid imo. With all of the cards available in commander and all of the ways to just win a game with one little combo I feel like banning cards in commander is just nonsensical.

@@jeremynachtman4626 no I think Griselbrand is certainly one of the fair bans, 7 life for 7 cards in command zone is insane

Hey I am trying to also work on k'rrik deck with the hope of eventually making it competitive. Could I perhaps see your list?

Mines currently at around 3k haha.

Buy/make proxies lol.... Fuck WotC.

jed lim I don’t think you can use krrik to float mana. Only pay black costs in cards.

@@rohansingh7698 not kirik, blood celebrant will float your mana..

jed lim oh you’re totally right. Completely missed that.

I pulled this off once! The chances of the perfect hand are low, but it does feel good to kill everyone on your first turn. I do get a lot more hate now though....

@@tsummerhaysgood. That means they are afraid of you. 😁

Leshrac's sigil + aetherflux, or Bolas's citadel + sensei's top + aetherflux

michael allen why leshrac's sigil??

Marco Curvello Leshrac’s Sigil has an activated ability for 2 black mana to return it to your hand. It cost 2 black mana to cast. With K’rrik on the battlefield, both of these can be paid with life instead of mana. If you have Aetherflux Reservoir on the battlefield, you can loop casting the Sigil, then bouncing it using K’rrik’s ability and repeating, eventually gaining infinite life to then kill your opponents with the Reservoir.

K'rrik can be expensive. Mine is gonna be $800. Abusing k'rrik to cast the blood combo and pestilance or extort.

I have villis prelease foil I got him during the prerelease

@@royalcollectables I was planning on buying like 10 when he was like $1.50 but I used the money to buy a urborg instead...I regret my decision and it was funny cause I thought it would go up

@@royalcollectables Nice

I knew the moment that card got spoiled it was going to be absurdly good. Just a measly B for two cards and a -1/-1? It's bonkers.

@@thrash208 Your urborg is still worth is price and Vilis is almost at 1.5 again.

I would love to see that.

Lifelink only works with combat damage. Vampiric Link combined with Pestilence Demon can be ruthless and possible win con if Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond are both on the field because it applies to any damage.

@@theotherguy4478 702.15b. Damage dealt by a source with lifelink causes that source's controller, or its owner if it has no controller, to gain that much life (in addition to any other results that damage causes).

This is an interesting idea which then means you could theoritically run more "value" creatures that only require black mana to cast and run all the available enchantments and potentially artifacts that provide lifelink where then Pestilence Demon becomes an activated EXTORT ability and if you can have Lifelink and Vampiric Link on it at the same time it's a win con as long as your not 1v1 at this point. However, this only works with Pestilence Demon which means you need enough creatures that only require black mana to cast to make the lifelink enchantments and such worth running. And because Black doesn't really have that same type of enchantment that White does for a creature that causes life gain to gain a +1/+1 counter you can't use Walking Ballista nor Triskelion so it would be an interesting build in just that your giving things lifelink that you were able to put into play.

Mitch forgot Lishrac's Sigil along with a bunch of other useful cards such as Vampiric Link.

It's amazing how many new options were made since this deck tech. Definantly one Mitch should consider doing an "updated" deck tech video on.

I woke up at 6:14 am to watch this

@@danielnguyen1601 I woke up at 6:00 to watch this

Mitch did not include Leshrac's Sigil which can be a 3 card combo using K'rrkk and Aetherflux.

I play a more straightforward recursion lifelink K'rrik deck tbh

It just sucks when your getting beat in the face by everyone at the table when there is someone actually using their life as a resource and that player is untouched.

It's $24

@@chaotica-game985 32$ :(

$35 T.T

$40 :(

Yea , vilis is ridiculous with krrik, play a spell that is all black mana for hp , draw 2-8 cards, repeat until deck is your board state. Win.

does nobody every watch the upgrades? he is in there, because he is out of budget

Arne Röcke yes, but fellwar stone is $3 while vilis is $4, vilis let’s you combo off, fellwar stone is useless in the deck, so I’m sure you could scrape up an extra dollar.

Vilis is now $2.75. He should fit the budget.

That's when you play a draw spell and keep going 😉

Aetherflux Resivior comboes with Sensei's Devining Top and Bola's Citadel or (if you have sufficient life) Leghrac's Sigil.

What creature are you "Casting into play" to generate these creatures? Anceint Stone Idol? That would be neat if Crashing Drawbrige (Throne of Eldraine) was available at this time, neat budget win con. Ashnods Altar is about $5, Anceint Stone Idol is a 20c card, Endrek Sahr is about $2, Crashing Drawbridge is a 20c card. So you first need Endrek Sahr in play, then you cast Anceint Stone Idol which gets you 4 Black Thrull creature tokens, then Anceint Stone Idol bounces back to your hand. Then you use Ashnod's Altar to sacrifice 2 Black Thrulls and recast Anceint Stone Idol netting plus 2 each time. I don't know of any alternatives to any of these peices so i give this combo a 100% fragile score. If you want a better way of Infinate mana, you will actually need access to your graveyard where that other combo doesn't need the graveyard. First you need Ashnod's Altar, then you need Ebon Hold Initiate, Carrian Feeder or other Zombie Creature with "Sacrifice a creature" (as of this comment there are 5 including Carrian Feeder) and either Gravecrawler or Oathsorn Vampire with Jet Medallion or Bontu's Monument or Helm of Awakening in play. Just remember that Ebonhold Initiate dies after you filter more than certain mana through him at end of turn.

it's a bit more difficult in mono black. Which is part of the enjoyment of the building challenge.

Pestilence Demon is only good if your running Lifelink enchants/equipments and Vampiric Link. Overseer is terrible and the Ravenous Chupacabra is better though it's literally better to just run the instant and sorcery spells. Just sounds to me like you spent money during the "hype" so your deck i'm sure would cost less to build today than it did when you made this comment and it seems your also using cards that you may not had needed.

I have a very similar deck. It's really powerful. The big downside is that everyone knows how strong Krri'k is so I get targeted a lot, but when I don't it's super fun.

As of this comment that's a $20 card.

MageSkeleton As an upgrade

MageSkeleton he mentioned Necropotents As an upgrade and that’s a $25 card

yes and no. If you are making use of Oathsworn Vampire then i'd say yes. Otherwise the 3 mana investment is too much and you have to remember that K'rrik doesn't do "card advantage" that well so your literally better off with Pristine Talismen.

Huh weird, not one to care about value but id say hold on to em XD

Oh My......

Can you share your upgrades?

Withering Wisps and Pestillence are not really played because they are enchantments and people run Pestilence Demon because with Lifelink and Vampiric Link it becomes a win con. i thought of Null Profusion as well but the problem is getting around the maximum hand size restriction, paying that 6 generic mana, and still having things you can "play" because once you have no cards in hand and this enchantment on field your turn becomes "do i attack or not" and if anyone removes anything off your field sending to graveyard or exile your basically out of the game.

WoTC needs to reprint "Gauntlets of Power".

i've discovered that you'd rather K'rrk get sent to the command zone and just focus on "mana ramp". Kaya's Ghostform is not a terrible idea only because it synergizes. And there are other cards that do not actually provide indestructble you can run if you feel you need those effects. Just do not run "Undying Evil".

What is "Kykthos?" Ghoulcaller Gisa has to tap to cause that effect, so she's too slow and would need haste to "turn on". Abhorrent Overlord rewards you for having devotion to black and gives you alot of creatures yes, but that's all it does. Gary doesn't interact with tokens at all because tokens have devotion 0. Sorin Markov is a "fixer" and a nice option. Pestilence Demon can be given Lifelink through many ways, and with Vampiric Link it turns into a win con. Overseer of the Damned is a neat demon also, but tokens only win games when you have haste. Crashing Drawbridge (Throne of Eldraine) finally answers this, however, Overseer gives you tapped zombie tokens.

I was wonder why no one was saying this wombo

Isnt those to infinite?

Neat, User Villis's ability to draw 4 cards, use Skirge's ability to discard a card activating Faith of the Devoted and using that generated black mana to drain everyone as you gain back the life you lost. So you end up stabilized at a life point while draining your opponents as long as you have cards you can draw. I give this win con a jank score of 40%, find another use for "faith of the Devoted".

@@MageSkeleton Shadow of the Grave combined with every B:Cycle card gives another chunk of juice. It is not the primary WinCon but it will strip an easy 20 from ppl.

This is why i decided to go through the comments section. Sanguimancy is a great idea especially if somehow you have Jet Medallion and/or Helm of Awakening to reduce it's casting cost.

Do you have a decklist

2021 revamp now
