He's gonna need some Pepto...

It's valuable Junk! Staying ahead of the curve with great value threats.

Creatures

Fleecemane Lion - a 3/3 for GW is solid on it's own, but if they don't take care of it quick, it becomes a serious threat.

Reaper of the Wilds - another good value, 4/5 for 4 mana. That 5 defense will help it dodge a lot of red removal by itself. The hexproof ability will help keep her on the field and the deathtouch ability is kinda just bonus.

Loxodon Smiter - a solid 4/4 body for 3 that dodges counters, with the possibility of being free.

Sylvan Caryatid - can help defend against aggro, dodges spot removal, helps us color-correct and ramps up to help get Fleecemane Lion monstrous quicker. Yes please.

Obzedat, Ghost Council - Life siphoning every turn, dodges sorcery-speed removal and can keep coming back with Whip of Erebos any time it's killed.

Vizkopa Guildemage - Because it's versatile. It can be a chump blocker or provide lifelink in games where I don't get Whip out, but mainly for it's ability to basically say "I don't care if you block, I'm gonna get damage through anyways!"

Non-Creature

Abrupt Decay - great early, cheap and versatile removal.

Read the Bones - slightly more expensive, but better card-searching version of Sign in Blood...can't target someone else with it though :(

Whip of Erebos - The whip mainly for the lifelink, but also situational recursion could be helpful.

Hero's Downfall - to deal with pesky planeswalkers.

Golgari Charm - probably the most versatile charm. Enchantment removal, token sweeper, or board wipe protection.

Ajani, Caller of the Pride - He hits the field and most times, it's game. The -2 is just nasty.

Advent of the Wurm - Even if it wasn't an instant, a 5/5 trample for 4 is pretty awesome.

The deck has played pretty well at FNM. I've made a few changes since my first go at it.

Ajani, Caller of the Pride and Vizkopa Guildmage have helped me win a few games since I've added them in.

Brought 3x Golgari Charm back to mainboard, because it's versatility was sorely missed.

Removed Experiment One because it was becoming a dead draw later in games, and not really providing a lot of "umph" in the deck.
