The "Compleat" Guide to K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth | Commander cEDH Deck Tech

- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- One of my favorite Commanders, a mono-black behemoth of a deck, K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth seeks to win games fast with its incredible speed, brutality, and consistency. Tutors, graveyard interactions, and skillful understanding of your combo lines are keys to victory! Best of all, this deck can be built to any budget or meta; competitive, middle-of-the-road, or budget, all you need is the core cards and you're set!

i play K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth competitively, and i only ever have difficulties against Kenrith, and Kinnon decks.
i disagree with using Ancient tomb, you become reliant on using it and without enough life gain effects you end up literally killing yourself by using it. Instead use Bubbling Muck for an explosive turn, Crypt Ghast, and Nirkana Revenant. Even if you do run those i discourage using Urborg, tomb of Yawgmoth as sometimes giving your opponents the ability to tap a land for a black mana could help them win and you DO NOT want to run Cabal Coffers because it's too slow for how fast K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth is.
There is a reason Leshrac's Sigil was part of the K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth/Post Malone secret lair, it and Sensai's Divining top serve the same purpose having Bolas's Citadel and Aetherflux Reservoir as with those cards it's another win condition. Just remember you need 21 life to go from storm count 0 to infinite with Leshrac's Sigil if somehow everyone let you retain the Reservoir on field for an entire turn.
A "budget" win condition for K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth is using Blood Celebrant to give you the mana to cast Repay in Kind (where your at 3 life or less when it resolves) then casting Blood Tithe/Exsanguinate. This can be done Turn one.
Here is the list of non basic lands i recommend; Gemstone Caverns, Barren Moor (i'm doing doomsday build, replace with basic swamp if your not doing doomsday), Hive of the Eye Tyrant, Urza's Saga, Crystal Vein (do not run if doing Doomsday build), Sanctum of Eternity, Boseiju, Who Shelters All, Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Inventor's Fair, Cavern of Souls, Drownyard Temple, Homeward Path, Radiant Fountain (i'm surprised he doesn't bring up because for K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth it's like gaining 2 mana as one land drop).
Personally, i would run Exhume or Persist over Reanimate but could still be worth running. Reason being is your trying to lean on Boseiju, Who Shelters All, just keep in mind it causes you to lose 2 life.
I love alot of these suggestions. Gonna have to dig out a few of these for updating my deck, but thank you for the suggestions!
I really liked your comments, would you have your deck list?
Hello, good sir. Mind if you share your decklist?
This list doesn’t sound competitive at all it sounds casual. Dude you should run exhume persist and reanimate. I can’t tell you how many times reanimate on vilis wins the game. Yours is Def a casual list😂
@@MrTiddles69they're in the decklist.
I love playing Blood Celebrant, reading it to the table, and having everyone scratch their heads as they look at my mono-black commander.
Krik is the nastiest mono black card printed in years! Love how scalable he is. Did a midrange demon deck and loved it. Was able to drop the beefy demons much sooner than my curve would allow. If your doing mid range like I did I highly recommend the 1-2 drop black cards that bounce dead creatures back from the bin, or gain indy till
Eod. He will be a lighting rod on the table most of the time. Happy brewing!
This video is a godsent! I've typically watched Commander Quarters, and he talks too fast to process everything, and doesn't explain it as you do.
Fantastic video, and you've won yourself another subscriber here
Thank you for the praise! Glad to have you here!
Great video! There's one thing to have all the pieces, there's another to fully understand how the pieces fit.
As I've played the deck more, I am learning more and more too. I love this deck.
Just finished building this yesterday. Need to practice more on piloting the deck but it is fun.
UPDATE: I actually had to take apart the deck because it was so good that winning became boring and predictable 😂
Went and got most of these upgrades to my krrik deck (was just using him to make the 9 mana sorcery to reanimate everything a bit quicker). Excited to play it at my lgs this week :)
I can't say this enough... Saw in half... protect some of your win cons and win con part in itself. Opponent trying to kill Necrotic Ooze? Too easy, now you have two. Early win con with low CMC, Gary out and target with SiH... three triggers now. It's very versatile. Can save a card from being exiled if it's legendary, instead it's in your GY. This card has saved me multiple times.
Also part of why you run Activated Sleeper. i don't like "Saw in half" because it seems half the time an opponent happens to have Deflecting Swat, and you also have to worry about Misdirection.
Hoarding Broodlord
gets; Saw in half, Saw the Broodlord
gets; sacrifice
gets; Peer into the Abyss
Sacrifice one Broodlord
draw half your deck :D
Saw in Half has since made it into the list. It gives us two additional Gary triggers, among other things.
K’rrik, Vilis, and Sheoldred the Apocalypse is an insane 3 card combo
Really nice video. The chill background music, the lore, and the ideas.
You got a subscriber
Great stuff! I’m just getting into edh, I’d love to see your take on a budget build. Something without the expensive lands and artifacts maybe. Cheers 👍🏼
Absolutely!
Really great video! I run a version of K'rrik similar to this and have had some really good success. I really like the inclusion of defense grid. I put that in mine and it seems to really be effective. Keep up the good work!
I just got done building this one. Haven't had a chance to play it yet tho.
Buried alive is literally a one card combo provided you have a reanimation spell lol. Buried Alive sending Ooze, Familiar and Asmodeus is a literal draw your deck out and play all your rocks and combo off. It also sends Ooze, Chainer and Dimir House Guard and wins you the game on the spot provided you have Gray Merchant in play or in grave.
"Buried alive is literally a one card combo as long as you have a 2nd card to combo with it."
????? Then it's a 2 card combo...
thassa's oracle is literally a one card combo as long as you have demcon
I’m building this rn, it’s insane how fast and how little you need to go off
New ashiok is without a doubt one of the best cards to have with K’rrik 😅
Ayyy good point.
@PlaneswalkerProject What do you typically tutor for when you use fleshwrither?
Necrotic Ooze. It's a four-drop and it gains all the activated abilities of carda in the graveyard. If I can get Asmodeus and Skirge Familiar in the graveyard first, I can essentially use the Ooze as a makeshift Griselbrandt.
@PlaneswalkerProject Right on, I thought so. And how many different combos would you say you use in your deck in total?
@@PlaneswalkerProject Fleshwrither into ooze. use oozes (fleshwrither) ability to find balthor the defiled. Use balthors ability to return both ooze and writher to the field. Use writhers ability to find Vile Entomber - entomb asmodeous. Use asmodeous ability to draw cards and find a win con. Very life intensive though
I’m new to magic. with [[Professor Onyx]] and [[Chain of Smog]]. How can you keep the loop going once you run out of cards to discard ?
You can still target yourself, even if you have no cards to discard, continuing the loop.
Is the 26 lands working for you? Seems low but maybe theres enough ramp?
Absolutely. See, you want to aggressively mulligan to ensure you get a turn one K'rrik, so even if my only lands are City of Traitors and Crystal Vein, I'm still golden. K'rrik handles all the black pips on his own, and so at that point, I only need my lands to handle the generic mana costs, if I'm unable to get Jet Medallion or Heartless Summonings. If I can get my engine running using Necrotic Ooze/Asmodeus/Skirk Familiar, I have all the mana I need. Same goes for Blood Celebrant, who can get around K'rrik only affecting black pips, and allow me to use him to pay for the generic pips as well.
Right on. I think I'll still start with 28 for now while i learn to pilot the dedk. But if I find myself doing well enough with 28, maybe I'll drop to 26.
You gotta do an update for the banlist my guy.
It is in the works. I’m testing a few cards to see if they’ll make viable substitutes or at least can slot in until we can find something permanent.
@@PlaneswalkerProject Awesome! Also, could you tell me why LED is in the deck and it's intended uses? I'm newish to this deck and can't figure out how it's supposed to be used.
In your link to this deck, what does (tuned variant) mean?
I covered this deck in another video, using a lower powered, non-cEDH build. This one here is the max power list.
can you use balthors ability more then once?
Would Ooze + Balthor not just have you exiling ooze?
Technically, yes. Which is also why Balthor may have been cut from the deck.
Cant you just put krrik in your graveyard and use ooze for his ability or reanimates for him because he does indeed get pretty expensive with commander tax
I do believe since K'rrik's ability isn't technically an activated ability, Necrotic Ooze can't use it.
What's the song in the background?
why would you use nights whisper and not sign in blood?
Mostly preference here. Sign in Blood is tactically speaking better to use, paying the four life to draw two and lose two, but if Vilis isn’t in play, dropping six life to draw two might be a little too much use of the resource. I personally preferred to pay the one mana to spare myself the extra life. Sign in Blood would be more the optimal choice here though.
What does Razaketh do in this deck?
In the event of needing tutors, he can also be a sac outlet that tutors for things.
both aetherflux and sheoldred?
Consistency is key
@@mtgsalt1151 Funny, I thought card quality > redundancy in Cedh. Most top 5 color decks cut win cons down to just 1 combo with a one card plan B like Praetors Grasp or Timetwister.
@@damo9961 Well that's 5 colour where card quality is insanely high but also very tight for deck space. In mono coloured decks, you can afford multiple wincons overlayed since you run so much gas
Why did you say nights whisperer is a “ sign in blood” alternative and why cant we just use sign in blood?
So my logic is that if Jet Medallion is out, Whisper is one black mana, while Sign in Blood still would be two black mana. You can absolutely run one over the other, or even both.
do you have an updated decklist?
www.moxfield.com/decks/FLbj_kc9Kk609DWOB6BxWQ haven't made too many updates to my decklist, but I will always make an effort to update the Moxfield lists! I did take out Balthor, simply because he was in some ways a nonbo. Added in Saw in Half for extra use on Gray Merchant.
K'rrik is also Phyrexian.
One of the reasons I've considered getting the Post Malone version, I don't believe they've printed K'rrik proper with the correct creature typing since they did the Phyrexian Update.
Thats why I got the Phyrexian text K'rrik.@@PlaneswalkerProject
do u have a vid of u playing it
I don't have any video of myself piloting the deck, but I highly recommend this video by Playing With Power, which I think is a good clinic of the deck.
ruclips.net/video/wmoGlCKm6pU/видео.htmlsi=pdNlRTRstcLc9MvW
How does everflowing chalice fit in Krrik?
It has to rely on the Blood Celebrant interaction, since K'rrk doesn't pay for colorless mana pips. You can dump a ton of life into producing colored pips with the Celebrant's ability, then drop the Chalice.
Cannot loop grey merchant with balthor as you can only use the ability once.
You are entirely correct! Since then, I have cut Balthor.
I used to run him as well because I saw so many videos with them using him, and I still can't figure out to this day why they use him@@PlaneswalkerProject
great video！really helpful
If K'rrik gets removed twice or more, you can let it hit the graveyard and reanimate it as a last-ditch effort.
Complete
It's a play on the process of Phyrexian compleation.
26 lands is kinda low for K'rikk
man i wish i wasnt broke
Same...
Doomsday?
Objectively worse than the current turbo lists
Complete***** damn
It's a play on the Phyrexian process of compleation. It is spelled correctly.
