Alright, so now that you have hopefully sat through both videos  (I do keep them short to make it more feasible), I will wrap things up.  As you saw, the deck won…  Maybe it wasn’t pretty, but it won and that’s what counts.  Red and black were never meant to be pretty.  I have however made some changes since the video.  Mainly these were replacing Bogardan Hellkite with Vicious Shadows and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker for Siege-Gang Commander.  It’s also worth noting that somehow this deck is fairly budget!  It clocks in at right around 130 tickets, which is not too bad considering some of the staples in this deck.  Here is the current build:

Kaervek Commander

Artifacts (14)
Creatures (21)
Other Spells (28)
Lands (37)

Well, my friends, that is all for this installment.  Get ready next time as we go through of walk through the Forest of Legendary Things.

    Slave of Bolas could be good

    Slave of Bolas is illegal due to the blue in it’s casting cost. And I do need to pick up a Phyrexian Tower one day.
