    How does K'rrik interact with Drain Life? It probably doesn't but I want to make sure.

    I think that spell states colorless X, so it wouldn't work?

    Latest Oracle says:
    "Drain Life deals 1 damage to a target creature or player for each oB you pay in addition to the casting cost. You then gain 1 life for each 1 damage dealt."
    And clarifies:
    "Cost reducers can be used to reduce the X part of the mana cost."
    The x part is a cost, and the Oracle text says that x part is a black pipe so I'd say it blends!

    The reminder text says cost, so it blends!

    And it works with hybrid mana?

    The issue I see is that the cost is X so in the upper right it's a colorless X, which isn't requiring black specific ally. In the same way I don't think you could pay for hostile Spell Pierce with 4 life.

    Re: Commander 2019 Spoilers

    out of the ideas for K'rrik so far I really like

    demigod of revenge
    doomsday
    cruel ultimatum
    pestilence demon


    possibly spectacle cards

    The issue I'm running into in trying to combo with him is gaining back the life lost. Sure he has lifelink but also has summoning sickness. If you cast him on you only have 6 Black mana to use unless you gain life somehow. Maybe chaining black spells and swinging is good enough but it seems poor for legacy. Maybe he's not that great....

    Any great ideas for life gain?

    You must be using copies from fifth edition or the beat down box set.
    The Oracle text has the current errata has no X.

    Yes! When you cast a spell with hybrid Mana, you're technically supposed to announce what color combination you're casting the spell as. Once announced, it's now a black cost you can pay with life.

    No, oracle text on gatherer is:

    "Spend only black mana on X.
    Drain Life deals X damage to any target. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more life than the player's life total before the damage was dealt, the planeswalker's loyalty before the damage was dealt, or the creature's toughness."

    Did you know that if you google "Drain life MTG" the first link will take you to the printed text of the fourth edition card? And that if you're on your phone there is no way to know you're not on the oracle text?

    I DIDN'T!

    Any chance to have him in some Dead Guy Ale brew?

    Turn 1 Land + Children of korlis
    Turn 2 Land + Dark Rit + Krrik + some skeletal Scrying/sign in blood/Cruel bargain effect + nuke your opponent with your fresh black cards and sac Children of Korlis to go back to 20. Repeat.

    Re: Commander 2019 Spoilers

    Funny, to me, Krrik seems also tailored for Reanimator deck playing Vilis, Broker of Blood

    The only risk of having them 2 on the board at the same time is to deck yourself... and again, LabMan could save the day.

    I'm not sure I'd call it dead guy, but it seems pretty funny

    Scaretiller seems quite powerful. The 4 cost is steep but cool interaction with City.
