Szarekh, the Silent King is the default commander for the deck. It mills 3 cards of your deck, putting an artifact creature of vehicle discarded into your hand. This fits with the style of the faction, as the Necrons will eventually repair anything short of complete disintegration. As the deck is mono-black, this also fits into reanimator themes found in the color. This is supported by Imotekh the Stormlord, creating token creatures when artifacts leave your graveyard.

Using the default commander, Abaddon the Despoiler, the deck seeks to gain card advantage and generate value by giving spells Cascade. While it only works on your turn, it can affect many cards in your hand, depending on how much damage you do to opponents each turn. As it has good stats and trample, the commander can be a source of damage for this effect.

MHA Deck Tech – Ochaco II

As one of the main characters in the anime and manga, Ochaco has been well represented in the game with cards that range from very good to meta defining. The character cards are very useful as well, but overall, Ochaco II may be the most overtly powerful of them. Featuring a free speed buff, a speed reduction, and the ability to remove a successful attack from your card pool, this version also has the second highest Health rating in the game currently.

The resources on this version are unusual for how the character is typically shown, specifically Death. This gives access to several powerful cards, as well as turning the low hand size into an asset. This is a deck with powerful attacks that make each block a difficult choice.

MTG Warhammer 40k EDH Deck: Tyranid Swarm

The Warhammer 40k Commander decks for Magic the Gathering recently released to an eager audience. The decks offer a glimpse into the Universes Beyond concept, with unique, thematic art for reprints and interesting new cards.

Magic the Gathering Warhammer 40,000 Commander Deck Tyranid Swarm

The Tyranid Swarm is a +1/+1 counters deck with a token creature subtheme. It also features several creatures with X casting cost. As is, the deck is straight forward: Play creatures, make them big, then stomp over opponents. The default commander, The Swarmlord, complements this idea by not only getting 2 +1/+1 counters for each time it’s cast from the command zone, but also draws a card any time a creature you control with a counter on it dies.

Mowu, Loyal Companion EDH Deck Tech


Like many people, my involvement with Magic the Gathering is more or less limited to playing Commander. I also like to keep things as inexpensive as possible, and definitely skew to the more casual side of game play. These should be decks that perform decently, and offer a good starting point for your upgrades.

This deck wants to put +1/+1 counters on Mowu as possible, as Mowu gets a nice bonus from them. This along with Trample and Vigilance gives plenty of chances to get commander damage on your opponents.

MHA Deck Tech – Mei Hatsume

Mei Hatsume was introduced to the My Hero Academia game in the Crimson Rampage set. Initially, opinions were negative, with most considering the character mid-tier at best. However, players soon realized that Mei can grant large and consistent damage bonuses while also maintaining significant card advantage.

This deck uses the Life resource. While decks will typically use All to make use of several powerful Weapon attacks, Life grants more interaction with flipping foundations, making Mei’s Enhance more powerful overall.

MHA Deck Tech – Iida 2

My Hero Academia has revitalized the Universus system, thanks to the crossover appeal from fans of the anime. In fact, the Jasco booth at Gen Con was constantly full with people taking demos of the game. For better or worse, the meta also moves quickly, with a character considered useless jumping to high usage in a matter of weeks.

With this in mind, I offer this little deck tech. It is not tournament viable, at least not now, but should work well for casual or local play using a very high-risk/high-reward style. The deck is capable of throwing out several high-damage, nearly unblockable attacks each turn, but only if all the pieces are in place. Without further ado, the list.

The FAB Breakdown covers current news, deck techs, interviews from key people in the Flesh and Blood community, as well as engaging in giveaways and community activities.
