We all have that deck that just survives even though it isn’t the best. For me that’s [[Torgaar, Famine Incarnate]]. It’s not the best mono black commander in any way but its particular combination of effects to me is emblematic of mono black. It’s a bit of a swiss army knife and so I find myself hard pressed to really change anything about the core of the deck.

What’s your pet deck?

    Those are exceptions that prove the rule, I think. That you aren’t just going to randomly hand out counters, cards, and reanimates because without that infinite mana you won’t be able to defend yourself against the gifts you gave out.

    I’m just saying it’s lame that it’s not worth targeting other people without having those specific synergy pieces in play.

      I mean, that’s kind of expected of abilities that would only benefit their target by themselves, without politicking or other synergies you can’t get benefits from them. What would you want them to do, give you a benefit if you targeted your opponent/opponent’s permanents/cards with them? The only problem with that is that Kenrith has too many abilities to fully write this effects down. I guess it could only do that part where you benefit an opponent for a benefit to you too, but that would be a significantly different design.

        There was a lot of hype when Kenrith was spoiled that “he’s perfect for politics”. I’m just saying that hype was misplaced when you’re probably going to only target sometime else with his activations on average twice per game if you’re not comboing out.
