Creature (1)


-Use Lotleth Troll, Grisly Salvage and Commune with the Gods to discard creatures into your grave and find either your Nemesis of Mortals or more Lotleth fodder. Once you have enough creatures in you grave you can get out that 2 mana Nemesis of Mortals and with enough creatures in your grave you can also monstrous him for 2 mana as well. Finish off the game with either your Nighthowler enchanted Lotleth, massive Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord or a mixture of massive other big baddies.

Card explanations:

Creatures:

Abhorrent Overlord - A great card if you can get enough devotion which is perfectly possible in this deck. Will primarily reanimate this guy for a turn using whip for a hasty 6 lifelink damage and a few harpies to stick around.

Desecration Demon - Probably one of the best black cards in standard right now. It's a cheap 6/6 flyer which will either hit them for 6 a turn, force them to sack their creatures or eat up a removal spell for free grave fodder :D

Shadowborn Demon - Removal spell in the form of a creature so that if I mill it it will still benefit me. If my grave fills enough it stays around as a big 5/6 flying beater and if not it's a removal spell and blocker for a turn.... with more grave fodder...

Lifebane Zombie - Can be very useful if they have green or white things in their deck, otherwise this card is just a 3/1 sometimes unblockable which is otherwise grave fodder.

Lotleth Troll - One of the big three of this deck; this card was just made for a deck like this. Imagine someone attacks you with their big 3/3 full well knowing it cant die to your puny 2/1. You then proceed to dump half your hand in your grave just to buff this little sucker enough to kill it. You have now just filled your grave a ton load, removed one of their creatures and now have a massive 5/4 trample regenerate creature.

Nemesis of Mortals - The star of the show. Get enough creatures in your grave and you can start slamming these guys out for 2 mana and with a few more creatures monstrous them for 2 as well.

Nighthowler - This card can become very very good when your grave starts to overflow. A cheap 3 mana for a potentially massive creature with what would have to be the most cost efficient bestow in the game costing only 1 more. Bestow this guy on your lotleth for a very nasty creature or just slam him on a flyer for massive aerial damage.

Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord - This guy just fits perfectly into the deck. He becomes bigger for more creatures being in your grave, can come back from your grave if you mill him and reall wana get him back and can sacrifice you massive creatures for epic damages and more graveyard fodder!

Instants:

grisley salvage - This card is key to this decks' success, milling you creatures into your grave to get the big things out.

Putrefy - A couple of these guys in the deck ensures that if you are stuck in the pickle of they have something very very mean, you can actually kill it!

Doom Blade - Another removal spell for those big meanies the enemies might have. Only one of in mainboard to keep more creatures and lessen the chances of a useless milling.

Sorceries:

Commune with the Gods - Another one of those "library to grave" cards.

Enchantments:

Whip of Erebos - Having a couple of these in the deck is really useful. They give our creatures lifelink, keeping us in the game and can potentially bring back some of the big creatures that have been chucked in our grave for a turn providing a bit of damage but most importantly more life gain through that lifelink.

Sideboard:

The sideboard is mainly filled with removal spells. If you think the deck is a little light on removal for the matchup game 2 you can remove the likes of 1 of desecration demon, nighthowler and lifebane zombie mainly for a bit more early removal.
