Victimize??

As of right now the deck seems to have enough recursion without drawing on the power. However Victimize is a solid card and I'll keep it in mind.

may I suggest Palisade Giant or Priest of the Blood Rite?

Kala: I've actually been musing over whether i should add Priest of the Blood Rite ot not its a matter of getting on and play testing it.

However i do like your Palisade Giant suggestion. I will have to test that out and i could see son very interesting interactions. Thank you for the suggestions!If you like the deck otherwise how about a +1 :3

Elspeth, Sun's Champion would be great for this deck.

I used to play horde decks, so here are some great cards I can recommend:

1. Ogre Battledriver - powers up and gets your weenies ready to strike

2. Launch the Fleet - gives you the ability to pump out tokens for a good price

3. Assemble the Legion - if left unchecked can generate an insane amount of tokens

4. Check-Lands (Isolated Chapel, Clifftop Retreat, Sunpetal Grove) great dual-lands for your colors

5. Utter End - fantastic removal spell that can deal with almost any threat

6. Increasing Devotion and Nomads' Assembly - two of my favorite token-spawning cards

7. Elspeth Tirel - her easy-to-get ultimate can wipe the board and let your tokens go in for the kill

8. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite - amps up all your token

9. Overload Spells (Dynacharge and Weapon Surge) - worth the mana because of your large number of creature

Vulkan: thank for your suggestions! A few of them i wont be putting in however, as this deck may seem like a horde deck its actually more focused on using ETB effects over and over again rather than over running opponents.

I have considered putting Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in as it is just a good card but I havnt purchased another one in yet. Again thank you for your input.

Wow, when did this get so popular?!

That name tho. Cool deck.

I dig it! Looks like a fun, all-out swarm fest. How does it fare vs. the other graveyard decks in your meta?

Thanks man! As far as other graveyard decks go this one mainly can ignore them. This deck in itself is great at controlling the board, if the opposing deck focuses on bringing their own things back just get rid of them again. If they are taking our stuff out of the our graveyard then it becomes a bit more difficult.

Archetype of Aggression? You already have Archetype of Courage and Archetype of Finality.

Atony1400 I dont have Archetype of Aggression because it doesn't synergies with the deck at all. I dont need the trample due to almost all of my creatures being power 2 or less, and since this Archetype has 3 power I can't recur it with Alesha. Additionally the reason why I include the other two Archetypes is in the description, they make it so if i swing with my small creatures most of the time opponents will have to take the damage or lose their much bigger creature due to the conjunction of first strike and deathtouch. Thanks for looking at the deck though!

Good thought. I was just thinking that maybe Ordeal of Heliod, It can pump your creature a few times, then sacrifice and give you a life boost. Also, since they're weenies, maybe Dictate of Erebos because they will have to sacrifice if your guys die. Then, you can bring them back with Alesha.

Atony1400 as far as Dictate of Erebos goes it is a viable option, but as the deck stands right now i have plenty of board control. However if I need more Dictate of Heliod is my weakest card so I'd take that out.

Ordeal of Heliod doesn't do much of anything in this deck, the small buff it gives isnt significant enough and usually ill be sacing and recurring my creatures before they get to swing three times.

Thanks for the comments and if you like the deck dont forget to +1!

I do like it, +1!

I really like this deck idea. My one concern that I can't seem to wrap my head around is how you protect the commander. She needs to attack to use that ability and you only seem to have Rogue's Passage and Reconnaissance as means to protect her from getting blown up by a fat blocker. She also can gibbed by removal because there's no hexproof or indestructible. There's also nothing that enables haste either so every time you recast her you need to wait a turn. Those +2 mana costs eventually add up, right?

I'm sure I'm missing something that's painfully obvious. I want to use this commander but I'm scared of these pitfalls.

mtgirem: Honestly the deck works incredibly well without Alesha needing to hit the field until later in the game. The deck is really good at controlling the field and has a decent amount of recursion without needing to use Alesha. That makes it easier to spend the mana later game to cast her even if she does start costing more.

As far as haste goes, Anger is all i need. I can tutor it up with Dimir House Guard or Buried Alive. If it gets removed from the graveyard oh well, not entirely a huge deal.

I did forget to update and add Darksteel Plate

Another thing for commander in general, get really good at politics and you'll win more games than you normally would.

I'd pick up an Entomb for Anger.

I really like Kytheon, Hero of Akros  ^Flip with Alesha. He's a bigger body than most, he's targetable with Alesha, and he gives her evasion once he flips (and he easily flips out of the graveyard). Also, if you're not running Buried Alive you're making a mistake.

minicules I could look into Kytheon, Hero of Akros  ^Flip. Protection for ALesha is always good, I'm just hoping it will make a big enough impact to consider it. I see what I can do about testing it.

As for Buried Alive it is in the CardAdvanatage section along with Entomb

Nice deck, considered adding Filth?

colonel-panic Filth was in the running awhile ago, however it is a completely dead draw against decks that aren't playing black. It has just too much unreliability even when I do put Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth in. It just didn't have the impact I wanted it to.

Why do you run, Goblin Assassin seems like a subpar creature, why not just run another wrath? :p jk

Try Crackling Doom
