Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Currently 1 top 4 post ban!\n\nWhy Play Vohar?\nVohar is a straight A+B combo turbo dimir deck!\nWhat he does is perfectly supports self mill win lines unlike other dimir commanders due to control of card draw timing and the ability to reuse a spell that's in the graveyard from being milled or used.\nHe is very easy to get out and used more as a utility then a commander dependent deck.\n\nThe Strategy:\nTypically you are aiming for Thassa or Lab maniac (A part combo) + ~7(B part combos). the deck uses 22ct draw/tutor spells to help u find whatever piece you are missing ASAP.\nSo opening hand you are looking for a combo piece, lucky if u have 2nd combo piece, 1-3 land/ramp, a protection piece, and a tutor to find whatever part you are missing. This deck is super combo dense and redundant for a reason due to the nature of how you need to play it. \n\nThis is a high risk high rewards deck so it takes practice to learn when to hold and when to commit to trying to win. Learning when your window is available. The play style is a bit unconventional from other dimir commanders like Talion which really focus on controlling the game. The big thing is understanding how Vohar works. You want to burn through your hand and use the resources fast. then use vohar to reuse your resources. you have graveyard and deck manipulation to thin out deck very fast so whatever is in your graveyard is going to cycle around and be used again.\n\nI will try to keep this deck meta relevant with monthly updates! It does have some changes coming with modern horizons 3 but I need to test cards before I can vouch for them.\n\nWin Lines:\nA.Thassa or Labman (if you like jace you can use him I just think he is too mana intensive for turbo)\n1. typical strat tutor for tainted pact or demonic consultation or if u have that thassa or lab man"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"2. Atypical - use tainted pact or demonic consult to find thassa or lab man - cast lab man or thassa - reuse tainted or demonic with vohars 2nd ability"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"3. Paradigm shift or inverter of truth to flip your grave to become your deck and exile the rest. then cast thassa or lab man. this is very effective in turboing especially if u used free counters or can use vohar to reuse paradigm shift again following turn to put countered thassa or labman back in deck and re draw and cast again."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"4. Thought lash - this card saves you so much and allows you to pivot to a grind game while you set up for a win. then exile whole deck when ready."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"5. Divining Witch - a demonic consult in creature form. more inmpactful post ban as the activated ability is harder to counter."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"6. Aether Vial - dump deck during opponents win attempt like you are trying to find interaction. then aether vial thassa in to win or lab man then tap vohar to draw."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nB. Blood Chief Ascension (BCA) or Duskmantle guildmage + Mindcrank\n1. This is an infinite mill damage combo and really easy to set up"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"2. BCA is painting a huge target on your face so expect for everyone at table to agree that you are archenemy"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"3.

Duskmantle guildmage you just need to leave 3 mana open and you can wait for ppl to start a counter war and kill multiple birds with 1 activation.

Volrath stronghold, academy ruins, or paradigm shift or reanimate are really good choices. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"4. you can use volrath to put a failed thassa back on top of library and use vohar to redraw it to attempt win again. this prevents u from dying from decking out."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"5. gitaxian probe, or plunge into darkness can rip through remaining cards. you can use vohar to close game by tapping to draw with lab man out. or devotion 3 after git probe and casting thassa drawing thassa from top."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nF. Intuition piles:\n1. So vohar allows you to play an instant or sorcery in grave. so u can pick reanimate, thassa and tainted pact"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"2. depending on board state you pick usually 2 combo pieces and a spell that works with it."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"3. these piles are very tricky but with practice intuition becomes super powerful in this deck since vohar is kind of a sevinne's reclamation for spells. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"4. paradigm shift is usually a great choice early games, in this situation exiles whole deck. puts thassa and lab man pending back on top. grave is usually not that full so you probably can win off it."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nOther card choices:\nSheoldred - very powerful in this deck to help put a clock on other player draw engines and to maintain life since u rarely block"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Chains of Mephistopheles - This is not end of world for you since you have ways to reanimate and flip grave to become your deck. this shuts off a lot of other decks and wheel effects"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Shred memory - transmute is a nice way to tutor without being countered as easily. plus its good to ruin breach lines with since we mill intentionally.
