How Doctor Doom decks play in EDH

Doctor Doom is a mono-black commander costing 4BB, and its legendary creature - human scientist villain line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. It draws extra cards, so the deck can afford a lower curve and lean on volume. The cards below are the ones Doctor Doom decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.

Doctor Doom deck questions

What colours can I use in a Doctor Doom deck?

Doctor Doom has a mono-black colour identity, so every card in the deck must be black or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.

What are the best cards for Doctor Doom?

The cards played most often in Doctor Doom decks include Lich's Relic, My Precious // Allure of Power, The Sackville-Bagginses. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.

How much does a Doctor Doom deck cost?

The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $90.17 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.

Can I build a Doctor Doom deck from cards I already own?

Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
