Sideboard


The trick is to hold off the opponents initial attacks as you fill the graveyard with 2 cmc creatures using Lotleth Troll , and Grisly Salvage. Then bring everything back with Immortal Servitude .

You can set yourself up pretty nicely early on with all the 2 drops. These can act as good chump blockers as you wait for enough creatures to fill the graveyard and as you wait to draw an Immortal Servitude .

Disciple of Bolas is perfect in the mid game if things have gotten a bit scary. Ditching creatures using Lotleth Troll and then sac him to Disciple of Bolas ability is often better than Sphinx's Revelation . I typically get 6 or 7 life and cards out of that combo, it's the perfect answer after sustaining my opponents initial attack. Even if you can't get Lotleth Troll online, Strangleroot Geist or Bloodthrone Vampire often have power of 3 -- meaning you get 3 life and 3 cards with Disciple of Bolas's ability.

Once the graveyard is full enough for your liking, its time for The Hyper Combo Finish. Bring back all the 2 drops with Immortal Servitude and then sac away with Bloodthrone Vampire . Strangleroot Geist can be sac'd twice thanks to undying and so if you managed to get a few Blood Artist on the field you can routinely siphon 15-20 life.

This deck has performed really well for me. But I'd really like some help on the sideboard. If Immortal Servitude gets taken out I'm in trouble. Still, I think the deck could perform well even without the combo finish, but I'd need a transformational sideboard. Any thoughts?

Updates Add

Updated the Sideboard. Also took out -1 Elvish Visionary, -1 Mulch, and -1 Skirsdag High Priest and added +3 Strangleroot Geist.

The haste from geist is key, plus with its undying I can sac him twice as part of the Blood Artist combo.

Here's new explanation for the sideboard:

3x Duress for control

2x Gnaw to the Bone for aggro

1x Sever the Bloodline for tokens

1x Mutilate for creature heavy matchups

3x Naturalize for any annoying enchantments or artifact that shut down the graveyard

3x Vile Rebirth for reanimator

2x Vraska the Unseen for superfriends or in case I want to add an alt win-con is slower matchups
