Commander Game

{OLD}Marok, Tainting Leader
Legendary Creature - Vampire Lord
Lifelink, deathtouch.
Vampire creatures you control that have lifelink have deathtouch and vice versa.
Other Vampire creatures you control get +1/+1.
3/3

Right off the bat, a Squirrel is a little strange, but not unwelcome. The “creatures with menace must be blocked” is very interesting, since you’re making it less of an evasion ability. That third ability is a little worrisome- all your creatures can be better Fog Banks that are very difficult to block effectively.

A neat lord, but a little specific. A quick Scryfall search shows only 34 Vampires are affected, predominantly with lifelink, and many are unable to be put in a Marok deck due to color. That being said, it’s a great support card in the 99, especially with the Ixalan Vampire tokens.
I’ll choose to ignore any layers confusion with giving creatures with an ability another ability, as I’m not sure how that works.

Again with the layers, I’ll choose to ignore any rules shenanigans with the “creatures with vigilance have first strike” line.
This is a very confusing card. It essentially gives all your creatures vigilance, but only if you have a creature with vigilance, which now has first strike too. Not to mention the Callous Giant-like prevention ability. It’s not a bad card, it just does too many different things.

Shadow is a pretty aggressive ability, so seeing a mono- Commander for it is cool. The blocking ability is nice, and helps mitigate the downside of shadow. What I don’t get is why you’re playing non-shadow creatures in a shadow deck. Maybe if that ability helped your shadow creatures instead.

I’ll assume your “cumulative” ability works, since I’m not sure if the rules can handle it. Maybe something like “whenever a creature you control with lifelink deals damage, you gain that much life for each instance of lifelink it has”
Having an automatic win-con on your Commander, even if it’s in 3 colors and costs 8, is dangerous. 120 life isn’t easy, but it is doable, and that should be taken into account. Maybe it should trigger on your upkeep, like Felidar Guardian.
That being said, double lifelink is really cool. I can just imagine attacking with a creature with 6 instances of lifelink and gaining 24. The is a little out of place, but there is some good stuff there.

Explore is a narrow ability, and only 2 white cards do it, which makes it an odd choice. However, this can be used more like a token deck, and generate loads of value. I’d recommend Ayula’s Influence.

Nice and simple. I’d like to see this paired with all those repeatable scry 1 engines, like Geist of the Archives and Sigiled Starfish.

An interesting take on convoke. I want to see this with an Autochthon Wurm or an Arboretum Elemental. The is a little strange, since the only red cards with convoke are spells.

This looks very to me. That regeneration is powerful if you’re trying to protect a big scary flier, and Treg gives you 3 shots on their own (including themself). The flash makes this even more useful, since you can also have some blockers whenever you need them.

I really like how this sets up your populate deck for after Jordifan dies. Maybe 4 mana is a little too cheap for a repeatable, instant-speed Clone.

For an Expert Brawler, I would expect something a little bigger then a Traveling Philosopher. I do like how this can come down early though, and hopefully your answers scale with your opponents’ threats. There’s nothing wrong with the ability, but it would be nice if Barros was Expertly Brawling, and not the other creatures.

I like where this is going. Rules issues with “gaining all abilities” aside, this helps avoid the tough decisions about which creature to attack with, even if there are probably some infinite shenanigans that could be pulled off.

What I like is that the built-in hexproof and shroud on the creatures you’re putting in this deck protects them until you get Khul out. Once you do that, your deck pivots into a completely different play style, and you can really get lots of value from it.

This was tough, but I’ll say the winner was mrlozano, with palorius as runner up. Great job, everyone!
