It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Necrodominance is definitely seeing play it was just overshadowed by Nadu, Grief, Fury, and The One Ring so it's slipped people's minds lmao
The deck people are using it in is this one:
MtG Top 8
Basically, you want to get Necrodominance into play and leave a black mana up. Then you draw as many cards as you have life (or your whole deck if you have Sheoldred out) and pitch them all to cast March of Wretched Sorrow to one-shot your opponent. Once again, R&D has messed up because they made the cards go to your hand during your end step, not cleanup. Because of this, you can play instants out of your hand before you have to discard.
People are even playing a Legacy version where they make sure their cards all have flash then they go for a storm kill at the end of their turn. The only reason it isn't doing as well there as it is in Modern is because Doomsday and regular normal-ass normal Storm are already strong decks with draw engines.
edit: It's also funny because Necropotence was a "fixed" Liche, which could one-shot people with Mirror Universe.
Yeah Nadu definitely stole the spotlight. That is honestly the first Necrodominance deck I've looked at so far. I've really only been paying attention to the casual side of mtg for the past year so I don't really know anything about the current competitive meta. That's a bummer that they missed the mark again. It's not really a great casual or commander card so I don't really see it ever.
Haven't played mtg in years, but I think even I've heard of Nadu. That's the super OP card everyone's been talking about, right?
Looking it up, it does seem pretty damn good. I feel like they've done this before with OP 3-cost blue or green cards, at least I have a vague memory of such, I think...
Oko, Thief of Crowns and Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath are probably what you're thinking of (and they're both stupid).
WotC came out and said "Nadu was designed with EDH in mind, so we didn't think it would be abused in Modern," to which everyone pointed out Lightning Greaves is one of the most played cards in the format.
Oko was 100% the main one I was thinking of, because I think that was around the last time I dabbled in mtg online. With the damn elk. It was in every freaking deck lol. Uro also looks insane, think I had heard of that one more secondhand. How do they keep making the same mistake? That's hilarious that that's happened multiple times won't that combination and cost.
