The scariest month of the year has arrived and along with it have come two equally scary collections: Innistrad Midnight Hunt and the Black version of Puzzle Masters Collection.
The new Puzzle Masters drop, has Liliana, Master of Death as its star, which like all the rest of this set’s design, represents the idea that the ends justify the means.
Liliana, Master of Death, promises to give us goosebumps with her huge army of undead creatures, which will with no doubt be used to help her get everything she wants!
And although selfishness is a trait that prevails over Liliana, don’t let yourself be influenced by it, because today’s challenge involves sharing your battle secrets.
So, tell me, what’s your favorite combo in a Black colored deck?
PS: Let all your ambition dominate, show your best combo, because the most Liked combo will win a booster from our Puzzle Masters collection!
In case of a tie, our team of developers will choose the winner. The result will be announced on Friday (10/22/21) and we will contact you through the Forum PM.
One of the best non rare, non mythic, non masterpiece cards I’ve played with in recent expansions is the black/green saga Binding of the Old Gods. It destroys an opposing creature or non land support, puts a land on the battlefield and makes your creatures become murder machines for a turn.
I really love the new uncommon dual lands introduced in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. When fetched by BotOG, you can gain up to 30 free mana if your hand is full.
my favourit combo is with loth and scourge of the skyclave, with drider in play cast scourge and kick you will do 20 damage to each player, but drider does an extra 20 because of its ability, so scourge ends up getting +40/+40 when it enters won me a lot of games haha
Liliana, Death’s Majesty is the perfect planeswalker to generate an Amass army.
I used 2 zombie critters with Amass, Dreadhorde Invasion, Liliana Dreadhorde Vanguard, Bleeding Edge.
Sprinkled in a land or 2 and a couple removal spells and you’ve got a really fun build that don’t take no lip from nobody.
Oh yeah, the most important part: Black Market, Kaya’s Wrath, and Massacre Girl
My favorite combo can be done with any black walker, but I prefer Cursed Huntsman to pilot the deck.
Tainted Adversary and Asmodeus the Archfiend- add Alhammarret’s Archive for even more free cards for twice the zombies when Adversary hits the field.
Easy 200-400 zombies to add to your hoard, and who cares if they lose a reinforcement every turn? They don’t!
Just have lands, removal, and fetch to ensure the imminent death of your opponent :
Any black PW that can get Westgate Regent and double strike on the board. Once the Regent is out, the countdown starts unless he’s removed. I like that card + any double strike support!
REANIMATING SKELTONS… WITH A SWORD DIPPED IN GORGON BLOOD!!!
My Spooky (standard) combo is:
Vorpal sword
+
Skeleton swarming
-these defender skellybones will always be holding that sweet sword
-they deathtouch kill on attack
-they deththtouch kill on block
-they Trample!
-they get bigger as they reinforce (skelly army)
-and… they just keep coming!
Yeah … The legacy version of it with Vito IS a bit faster … Too Bad he just rotated out ^^
As far as i’m concerned i think i’ll Always have some kind of weakness for that good old Prized amalgam + graff harvest combo … simple, cheap, relentless …
The funiest thing is probably that your amalgam tends to die and resurect during your oponents turn (while blocking) … And thus never suffers from sumoning sickness.
It is already an incredibly efficient combo it’s own but … cherry on the cake … it’s Also a damn good engine to trigger other funky effects like creature etb, death and graveyard triggers.
My favorite combo is relentless dead plus flashback marauder. You kill your relentless dead with marauder and destroy your opponent’s creature. Relentless dead comes back to you.
My favorite combo just rotated out of standard: Dirge Bat and Otrimi, the Ever-Playful. Destroy an opposing creature, even with Hexproof. Repeat every turn after that. On long games you eventually get a Bat mutated with Otrimi, and Otrimi mutated with a Bat on the next creature slot, so you can do it twice per turn. My favorite combo in my favorite mechanic. I’ll miss it <3
My favorite combo is one that is always legal in standard and that is fairly friendly to newer players: Fleshbag Marauder and Despoiler of Souls. You kill your Despoiler with Fleshbag Marauder when it comes into play, which kill’s Greg’s first creature even if it has hexproof. Then, as long as you have 3 mana in your hand, Despoiler of Souls comes back into play.
This is an excellent control combo for newer players for several reasons:
(1) it can kill hexproof creatures, which newer players often struggle to do,
(2) the rarity of the cards is not prohibitive (Fleshbag is an uncommon that you can get by completing the Daxos’s challenge phase during the Duel Decks: Daxos vs Kalemne event, and Despoiler is a rare that you can pull from an Origins pack or booster craft),
(3) the combo is always legal in standard events, which are the most common events, and
(4) both of the combo pieces are excellent cards in their own right, especially for newer players.
Because this combo gives you excellent board control and doesn’t create huge threats, it’s ideal for controlling the pace of the match and giving you the time you need to achieve the secondary objectives in the event. Best of all, if you are in danger of winning to fast, then you can use Fleshbag Marauder to kill one of your creatures to slow down your win. (If the other creature you are trying to kill is Despoiler of Souls, then try and make a match and cast spells so that you have less than 3 mana in hand after Fleshbag resolves and kills the Despoiler. That way, the Despoiler won’t come back into play.)
A combo that controls the board, that is always standard legal, that uses cards that are good on their own and that are fairly easy to obtain, and that employs a card that you can use to slow down the speed of your win is a great addition to a deck designed to achieve objectives and get good rewards.
Favorite pre-nerf__(*)__ combo for me was playing Kaervek, the Spiteful in the legacy events involving zombies.
Everyone except me had Relentless Dead, obviously.
So what you do is this, just put Kaervek on the board and look at how Relentless Dead starts losing his religion and motivation, dying over and over, for hundreds of times, feeding my Black Market better than Ilon Mask’s remarks about cryptocurrency on Twitter.
Notice bottom left corner where the Black Market resides (156 reinforcements and the sky is the limit)
The Kaervek, the Spiteful card description, and behavior changed due to unintended interactions and loops. From:
“While on the battlefield: Other creatures get -2/-2. When another creature is reinforced: That creature gets -3/-3.
Morbid — At the end of your turn: Gain 3 Loyalty."
TO
“At the beginning of each player’s turn: Other creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn. When another creature is reinforced: That creature gets -3/-3. This effect can trigger up to 3 time(s) per turn.
Morbid — At the end of your turn: Gain 3 Loyalty.”
Each creature you play makes you discard a card, but then draws you a card when it attacks. You discard a card at the end of turn and you don’t take any damage from anything. It is a great way to fill your graveyard while killing your opponent, staying safe, and still keeping cards in your hand.
My favorite black combo is a bit bland. It is the gyruda + eerie ultimatum. Just because you dump a bunch of cards into the grave and then pull them back out. I know it is a bit pedestrian, but it works. Especially if you have a dark ritual to be able to cast the ultimatum with. The nice thing is if you have creatures like Olivia in the deck you have a decent chance of getting haste and throwing more cards to the grave.
