As a seasoned Planeswalker hailing from the bustling city-plane of Ravnica, I’ve encountered my fair share of enchantments that could make even the bravest of souls quiver with dread. The MTG: Endless Punishment precon deck is no exception!
The MTG Duskmourn set is about to drop, showcasing four ready-to-play commander decks, including Endless Punishment. Headed by Valgavoth, Reaper of Souls, this deck primarily amplifies the commander’s attributes by causing opponents to lose health. This strategy will not only weaken the opposition but also provide the player with additional cards thanks to the card draw triggers that Valgavoth offers.
Is there a possibility that the Endless Punishment deck will prove to be an effective pre-built commander deck for Magic: The Gathering, given its complete layout as shown?
MTG Endless Punishment Commander Deck
Mark my words, fellow Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts! On September 27, 2024, we’ll be gracing our local game stores with the arrival of the MTG Duskmourn preconstructed commander decks. Prices are estimated to range between $47 and $50, so make sure you’ve got enough gold in your treasure chest!
If you’re intrigued by the Duskmourn preconstructed decks, I’ve gathered crucial details about the forthcoming Endless Punishment deck for your perusal.
Commander
Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls
As an avid card game enthusiast, I can’t help but be captivated by the enigmatic Valgavoth, the Soul Ravager – a four-drop (two colorless, one black, and one red) legendary flyer. Not only does it soar above the battlefield, but it also carries a grim Ward condition: parting with two precious life points.
Whenever your opponent suffers the initial loss of life during their turn, place a +1/+1 counter on Valgavoth, Harvester of Spirits and draw a card as a result.
If you’re aiming to fine-tune your Endless Punishment deck for maximum efficiency, consider incorporating enchantments or creatures that can make opponents lose health based on specific triggers. This strategy ensures a regular activation of Valgavoth’s skills.
