Carnage in Action Due to Carnages inability to combo in Standard, the combos best chance of seeing play is in the 99 of synergistic Commander and Brawl decks
Protection: Most Commander Deck Building Templates Dont Mention this Something else you can do is ensure your valuable pieces stick around by protecting them
Maybe its because no ones cast a single-target removal spell in my games in the last few years (exaggeration), but this thing just always seems to sit in play and nug everyone for 10-15 damage each game, and thats not even in wheel decks where this is a primary wincon
It blocks well enough early on, provides extra loots whenever you cast legendary spells, and even transforms into a modern-day Phyrexian Obliterator when you so choose
That immediately lets you activate the ability and bring something cool into play
You should consider swapping valuable cards to fix your curve as they wont matter if you dont have enough mana to play them
