How M.O.D.O.K. decks play in EDH
M.O.D.O.K. is a mono-black commander costing 3BB, and its legendary artifact creature - villain line shapes the whole deck around it. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. It draws extra cards, so the deck can afford a lower curve and lean on volume. The cards below are the ones M.O.D.O.K. decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.

What colours can I use in a M.O.D.O.K. deck?
M.O.D.O.K. 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 M.O.D.O.K.?
The cards played most often in M.O.D.O.K. decks include The Master of Lake-town, Multiply by Zero, Lich's Relic. 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 M.O.D.O.K. deck cost?
The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $101 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 M.O.D.O.K. 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.
