Afflict (or just 4 power) deals the damage, and his second ability capitalizes on the life loss. 3) it gives you R when it could just as easily given you colorless, allowing you to play as many mono-red spells as your heart desires. 4) it counts the life lost by your opponents, not just damage.

Everything a Neheb deck does is bifurcated into two time zones: BEFORE his mana trigger when we want to see lifeloss at a cheap cost; and AFTER his trigger when we have a ton of mana to use for damage or car advantage. Cards that speak to Neheb have to be good in one or both of those time zones or they won't make the cut. Price of Progress is good before because it deals damage to our opponents for a cheap casting cost. Knollspine Dragon is good after because it converts our damage and mana into card draw.

Others serve as Neheb backups or combo pieces, like Dockside and Mana Gyser.

Neheb’s big mana allows us to draw cards at basically any cost, so big spells like Knollspine Dragon, Khorvath’s Fury, or Commun with Lava are great. For the most part, however, I am more conservative with my draw, preferring early and cheap sources like Tome of Legends, Humble Defector, and Endless Atlas, or Wheels. Card draw, I feel, should not be reliant on your commander working, or shouldn’t only be good if we’re ahead. We need cards more than we need to maximize on Neheb’s abilities.

But again I like to diversify my avenues of getting damage in, so it is harder to disrupt me.

Played against some new decks. Only won the last game because my friend had to leave.\n\n1-0-0 on 01/11/18 - One 3-player game, Darksteel Plate and Loreseeker's Stone both proved themselves worthy of inclusion.\n\nSpecial Game: 1-1-0 on 01/12/18 - Two games played with each other's decks, thus I was not piloting Neheb for either of these games. My friend's little brother Frank won a 7 player game with it and my friend Claire lost a 4 player game. Good times!\n\n0-1-0 on 03/20/18 - One 3-player game, died like a punk to a sliver deck. Nothing noteworthy. Neheb is generally weak in 3 player games.\n\n1-0-0 on 03/23/18 - One 6-player game, extremely strong win, drew 6 cards with each Humble Defector and Loreseeker's Stone, also used Past in Flames and Pyromancer's Goggles to great effect.\n\n1-0-0 on 05/17/18 - One 5-player game. After losing twice with another deck, I pull Neheb out to show that I mean business now. I win turn 6 with Aggravated Assault into Knollspine Dragon drawing 30+ cards into my newest addition, Jaya's Immolating Inferno.\n\n1-0-0 on 06/02/18 - One 4-player game. My first game in a new meta. I get genzo havoc raiser and two protection equipment out early, and Sword of Fire and Ice for more draw. Smooth sailing as none of the other decks really had a good start.\n\nSpecial Game: 0-1-0 on 06/05/18 - One 4-player game. For this game my friend Rey was playing this deck, I was playing my Firesong and Sunspeaker deck. With Ray at the helm this deck did amazing. I'm talking Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Chandra, Torch of Defiance amazing. Eventually Ray killed himself with our burn spells. No better way to lose.\n\n1-0-0 on 06/06/18 - One 5-player game. This was a strong win. I saw little bit of everything. Prophetic Flamespeaker, Sword of Feast and Famine, Repercussion, lots of equipment, looked like a voltron deck, lots of draw including Loreseeker's Stone. Neheb never got removed, so I was able to fight off lifegain, and used threaten politics to secure a win without an X spell.\n\n1-0-0 on 06/17/18 - One 4-player game. One of my fastest wins ever-turn 4. Sol Ring and Generator Servant got me a turn 3 Neheb, turn 4 play Flame Rift and Kaboom! to fuel a X=20 Comet Storm, which I pointed at each opponent and Neheb because I had Arcbond pointed at him too. Opponents didn't know what hit them.\n\n1-0-0 on 06/18/18 - One 5-player game. Solid win. Grenzo, Havoc Raiser saw a lot of action. Chandra ToD again kicks ass. Knollspine Dragon works really really well. Drew my Comet Storm for the win.\n\n1-0-0 on 06/29/18 - One 3-player game. Intruder Alarm and enemy mill help my Heartless Hidetsugu and flashback cards, especially Seize the Day.\n\n1-0-0 on 07/05/18 - One 6-player game. Very Swingy game, I had a slow start so I flew under the radar. Sword of Fire and Ice, Stormbreath Dragon, and Viashino Heretic all shine. Win with a lucky Aggravated assualt and the exact right amount of mana.\n\n0-3-0 on 07/16/18 - Three 4-player games. Two uneventful loses to a much faster Animar combo deck. Third game we all lost to my own Firesong and Sunspeaker deck(played by my friend Ian) + a Repercussion that I had played.\n\n1-0-0 on 08/02/18 - One 3-player game. Inspiring Statuary and some artifacts help me recast Neheb 3 turns in a row after some serious hate. Win via Aggravated Assault.\n\n1-0-0 on 08/10/18 - One 5-player game. Got to play against three new commanders, including two C18 legendaries, Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle and Aminatou, the Fateshifter. I tested out Fury Storm and Endless Atlas with positive results. Swingy game with Ezuri popping off and a Consuming Aberration being copied with Rite of Replication. Chandra ToD did her thing, the card advantage and damage paving the way for a convoluted win with Aurora of Emrekul(first time ever flipped), Ramunap Ruins, and Shivan Gorge(literally needed that 1 damage).\n\n0-1-0 on 11/17/18 - One 3-player game. Blown out by an Arcades the Strategist. Deretti player and I could do nothing but watch.\n\n0-1-0 on 11/24/18 One ?-player game. Honestly, I don't remember what happened in this game(thanks selective memory!) but I know I played Neheb once that night and lost. GG.\n\n2-0-0 on 12/19/18 - Two 4-player games. First game I Flame Rifted and Khorvath's Furyed into a Jaya's Immolating Inferno turn 6. Second game was a special game, where we started with our commanders on the field at the beginning of the game. I was playing against Jodah, Kaalia, and Sliver Overlord. Having Neheb on the field allowed a turn two Flame Rift into Comet Storm, killing the other commanders and dealing 8 to everyone, putting me ahead. Sliver player starts hitting me with Virulent Sliver and friends, so I'm forced to suit up Neheb and kill him. I draw some cards with Humble Defector before he's exiled. Neheb has Sword of Feast and Famine, Sword of War and Peace, and Darksteel Plate so I'm feeling pretty good. The lifegain from W&P is crucial. I attack the Jodah player. Kaalia player drops a Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and starts kicking my ass, then the Jodah player, who is now at 1 life, sees his opportunity to win and drops an Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, killing Neheb and Gisela. I'm able to recast Neheb, and then begins a 4 turn(remembering Jodah is still at 1 life) political dance of mutually assured destruction, top-decking, and clutch plays. I get Worst Fearsed by Jodah, but he misplays my turn, sending everything I have at Kaalia but not finishing him off. Kaalia is now at two life, I'm at 15. Jodah plays an Enter the Infinite and drops a Laboratory Maniac, saying he can win next turn. Kaalai player hits me for 7, it comes back to my trun, and I equip my Sword of War and Peace to Treasure Nabber to kill Kaalia player, and kill the Jodah player with Neheb's Afflict trigger. Crazy game.\n\n1-0-0 on 12/20/18 - One 4-player game. Tested out Mirage Mirror to amazing results. Finally got Sunbird's Invocation and it was also a powerhouse. Sword of the Animist on an early Prophetic Flamespeaker is what really won me this game.\n\n2-1-0 on 01/03/19 - Three 4-player games. Game one I fight through an enemy Confusion in the Ranks to win with a 5x Acidic Soil(via Fury Storm) followed by a monstrosity Stormbreath Dragon, finishing the game with, ironically, a flipped Cryptolith Fragment  and Neheb's afflict ability. Game two I was rolling with Grenzo, Havoc Raiser and Prophetic Flamespeaker. Then my brother played a Boldwyr Heavyweights and gave Niv-Mizzet the win :( Third game I attack the Jodah player with Neheb, Grenzo, and a spirit token from a Forbidden Orchard, exiling Sunbird's Invocation, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, and Avacyn, Angel of Hope. I had Seize the Day in my hand, so it was all over from there.\n\n1-0-0 on 01/10/18 - One 5-Player game. Turn four win! Mana Vault for a Turn 3 Naheb, and an easy Aggravated Assault combo. I decided not to play Neheb again that night, got a lot of hate the next game for the quick win.\n\n0-2-0 on 03/01/19 - Two 7-Player games. Game one I missed a land drop and the Teysa, Orzhov Scion player comboed off turn five, which was a shame because I was aiming to win next turn. Game two I combo off but due to a Teferi's Protection and a bad misplay by myself I can't finish it out.\n\n0-1-0 on 06/16/19 - One 4-Player game. Died to an overpowering Breya deck.

First game I threatened a win early on but then got removal, counters, and eldrazi sent my way. Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and Embercleave do some work, Ugin, the Ineffable would have been great if he had not have been exiled :( Second game I lay low and let everyone worry about the Ghired deck popping off. I win late game with Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and Pyrohemia, which is INSANE.\n\n2-0-0 on 01/04/20 - Two 4-Player games. Game one Generator Servant set me up for a turn 4 win with Aggravated Assault. Doesn't feel great but it's a win. Game two was more interesting, unfortunately a player had to leave, but not before blowing up my board. I politic may way into keeping Neheb alive, draw the one card that would save me against Niv-Mizzet, Parun + Curiosity, Pyrohemia, and then survive a clobbering from the Thantis player, whose creatures all had protection from red. I get lucky draws and pull the win out!\n\n0-1-0 on 01/10/20 - One 4-Player game. Neheb losing continued the general trend of that Friday Night Magic. A slow start into a great midgame into a wheel into having Neheb removed twice into running out of gas completely and dying to an enemy Gary. It happens.\n\n0-1-0 on 01/19/20 - One 4-Player game. Played an older version of Neheb online. One player dropped, thus I lost the advantage Neheb brings in multiplayer. Fun loss to a Kroxa deck.\n\n1-0-0 on 01/30/20 - One 4-Player game. Played an older version of Neheb online. Win against some formidable commanders.\n\n1-0-0 on 02/22/20 - One 4-Player game. Won with an enemy Darksteel Reactor at 19 counters. Yikes.\n\n0-2-0 on 02/23/20 - One 4-player game and one 3-player game. Two pretty quick losses to an Ayara, First of Locthwain deck my friend was playing.\n\n0-1-0 on 03/18/20 - One 4-Player game. Loss to Atla Palani combo. Not to self: don't let opponent have their Defense of the Heart trigger.\n\n0-2-0 on 03/27/20 - Two 4-Player games. My first loss to my friend's Torbran deck, and a loss to Aurelia combo. Misplays abound.\n\n0-1-0 on 03/28/20 - One 4-Player game. Victory was snatched from my grasp by C-Rift.\n\n0-1-0 on 04/04/20 - One 4-player game. Don't remember what happened but I definitely lost.\n\n0-1-0 on 04/24/20 - One 4-player game. Was excited to play against a Grothoma deck, less excited to lose to a Windgrace deck.\n\n1-0-0 on 05/02/20 - One 4-player game. Win against another Neheb deck, snapping an 8 game losing streak! That was fun. I was at one life and had to get around Ukkima, Stalking Shadow. Crazy.\n\n1-0-0 on 05/21/20 - One 4-player game. Win against some serious Torbran pressure.\n\n1-0-0 on 06/19/20 - One 4-player game. This game I just seemed to draw everything. Protection, draw, and removal. Win with Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion, Grenzo, and Torbran beatdown. Ugin makes an appearance and is good, so is mana geyser. Grenzos Goad ability is awesome!\n\n1-0-0 on 07/11/20 - One 6-player game. My friends decided we wanted a 6 player game, so Neheb was the obvious choice. Nothing spectacular, but a fun win.\n\n0-1-0 on 08/23/20 - One 4-player game. Uneventful loss.\n\n1-0-0 on 11/04/20 - One 4-player game. I win in part because I ripped a Counterspell of someone's library with Grenzo, Havoc Raiser, which protected the rest of my turn as I cruised to a win.\n\n1-0-0 on 11/30/20 - One 4-player game. I won despite the horrible, god-forsaken matchup against Yurlok of Scorch Thrash and Glacial Chasm. Humble Defector, Neheb Dreadhorde Champion, and Torbran + Pyrohemia shine.\n\n?-?-? on 01/01/2021 - My notes simply have ??? written in them. I have no memory of this place. \n\n0-1-0 on 06/22/2021 - One 4-player game. Crazy loss in a game with the Legendary Creature Podcast. Almost won 3 times but was dogpiled. Lots of fun! \n\n1-0-0 0n 01/16/22 - One 4-player game. I use Bolt Bend to stop a Teshar combo in its tracks, and win thanks to Jeska's Will (what a card)! \n\n0-1-0 on 02/12/22 - One 4-player game. I keep a sketchy hand. Oh gods why. We don't talk about this one. \n\n1-0-0 on 03/21/22 - One 4-player game. I keep another sketch hand??? But somehow come out with the win. Invoke Calamity and Jeska's Will shine; tough maths because of my life total, counter spelling with Deflecting Swat; and winning with 0 cards in hand and 2 life. \n\n0-1-0 on 04/02/22 - One 4-player game, lost to a cEDH Rune deck. \n\n1-0-0 on 01/08/23 - One 4-player game. First game of the new year is a win, pulling much of the deck in with rituals, wheels, and damage. Honestly, the hand that I kept was pretty mediocre, just lands and a few damage spells. No ramp or draw. \n\n0-2-0 on 01/23/23 - Two 4-player games. Game one confirmed to me that I will never play against a Slicer deck again. Game two was a near win, but the wheel I shot drew 5 lands and 2 ramp when I had 30 mana. Close. \n\n0-0-1 on 05/24/23 - One 4-player game. A highly anticipated matchup versus Solphim, Mayhem Dominus. It was a crazy game, descent into avurnus sent life totals down early and fueled mana; Solphim had a hot start, terror of the peaks and brash taunter made appearances, and had to be interrupted by my Wild Magic Surge. Descent into Avernus killed the whole table on my upkeep. Feels like a win! \n\n0-1-0 on 08/30/23 - One 4-player game. Had a decent game. Neheb got bounced, countered, and exiled by a blue control player. Then I got killed by a Akiri voltron. Can’t be mad when people dogpile Neheb; it means they fear and respect him. \n\n1-0-0 on 12/09/23 - One 4-player game. A game that featured a Gruul deck and three mono-red decks that kept sketchy opening hands (myself included). I was the only one to get lucky draws, allowing me to cast Neheb and equip him with the Sword of Ice and Fire, basically sealing the game for me. I dropped other stuff that got blown up, but Neheb survived a few turns, and it was an easy Crackle with Power for the win. \n\n1-0-0- on 04/09/2024 - One 4-player game. We said we wanted a quick game, and Neheb obliged. Turn 5 win led by a perfect curve out into Hummy-D, Guttersnipe, and Neheb III. A beautiful pop-off turn dumping a full grip to Neheb III and finding Underworld Breach. The whole hand and yard came out for the win. \n\n1-0-0 on 04/10/2024 - One 4-player game. Insanely fast start with Sol Ring into a Mana rock. Didn't do much with it because of low draw. Simply played out Greaves and Swords and built up lands until Neheb came out. Again I didn't do much for a few turns until I found some draw. Then I got lucky in a series of errors by multiple opponents, including one blowing up the wrong sword, and one not killing me in combat, leaving me at 1 life, and then saving me by choosing 2 for Wheel of Misfortune. So I got lucky lol.  \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Current Multiplayer Record:"},{"insert":" 49-38-3\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Commanders engulfed in the Eternal flames:"},{"insert":" Kaalia of the Vast; Ezuri, Renegade Leader; Breya, Etherium Shaper; Narset, Enlightened Master; Nekusar, the Mindrazer; Meren of Clan Nel Toth; Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind; Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite; Sliver Overlord; Oona, Queen of the Fae; Mizzix of the Izmagnus; Sidisi, Brood Tyrant; Uril, the Miststalker; Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder; Zur the Enchanter; Ramos, Dragon Engine; The Ur-Dragon; Phenax, God of Deception; Brion Stoutarm; Slimefoot, the Stowaway; Karn, Silver Golem; Arahbo, Roar of the World; Zurgo Helmsmasher; Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle; Lazav, Dimir Mastermind; Aminatou, the Fateshifter; Jodah, Archmage Eternal; Zedruu the Greathearted; Niv-Mizzet, Parun; Hallar, the Firefletcher; Xenagos, God of Revels; Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma; Urza, Academy Headmaster; Animar, Soul of Elements; Yasova Dragonclaw; The Locust God; Phelddagrif; Teysa Karlov; Kykar, Wind's Fury; Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer; Mayael the Anima; Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge; Avacyn, Angel of Hope; Lazav, the Multifarious; Sisay, Weatherlight Captain; Nicol Bolas, the Ravager; Korvold, Fae-Cursed King; Vorel of the Hull Clade; Rashmi, Eternities Crafter; Volrath, the Shapestealer; Ghired, Conclave Exile; Thantis, the Warweaver; Torbran, Thane of Red Fell; Chulane, Teller of Tales; Siona, Captain of the Pyleas; Okaun, Eye of Chaos; Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom; Yore-Tiller Nephilim; Ukkima, Stalking Shadow; Cazur, Ruthless Stalker; Neheb, the Eternal; General Tazri; Gavi, Nest Warden; Kethis, the Hidden Hand; Winota, Joiner of Forces; Kami of the Crescent Moon; Mogis, God of Slaughter; Vigor; Tayam, Luminous Enigma; Lord Windgrace; Linvala, Shield of Sea Gate; Archelos, Lagoon Mystic; Yurlok of Scorch Thrash; Orvar, the All-Form; Hofri Ghostforge; Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle; Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner; Kozilek, the Great Distortion; Kresh the Bloodbraided; Laelia, the Blade Reforged; Abaddon the Despoiler; Dihada, Binder of Wills; Mayal the Anima; Solphim, Mayhem Dominus; The Howling Abomination; Birgi, God of Storytelling, Akiri, Line-Slinger, Toggo, Goblin Weaponsmith, Inferno of the Star Mounts, Silvos, Rogue Elemental, Pashalik Mons, Melira, Sylvok Outcast, Goro-Goro and Satoru;  (total: 94)     \n\n"}]}
