Sideboard


Main goal is to use Faithless Looting, Grisly Salvage and the dredge mechanic to fill your graveyard in hopes to land a few Vengevine, play a couple of creatures and have free hasty 4/3 critters hit the board early.

What may seem out of place in this list is the large amount of 1-ofs. Here is the reasoning for each one.
Tymaret, the Murder King - Give you reach. Can be brought back from the grave, and is legendary, so only one is needed.
Dregscape Zombie - is only here to help bring out the Gravecrawlers from the grave. Unearthing him when the board lacks zombies gives you a window to cast your crawlers. Because you already have Tymaret that can also do this, only one Dgegscape is needed.
Goblin Bushwhacker - Used to run 2, then cut him completely. Missed the power he brought to the table, so decided on running 1, and it's been fine that way so far.
Life from the Loam - Loam isn't really needed in the deck, but it does allow the deck to start dredging early even without extra lands in hand. A second one is found in the side to help in games where you want to run Raven's Crime or Tectonic Edge.
Darkblast - Already the deck runs 4 Lightning Bolt, and at times the card is dead against some decks. Can be a powerhouse against some decks, so one makes it (mostly to kill Dark Confidant and his 2/1 ilk that cause all sorts of trouble) and for games where it's good, there is a second in the side.
Squee, Goblin Nabob - Added this guy on a whim, and he has not disappointed. Helps make Lotleth Troll bigger, makes Faithless Looting better, and with an empty hand, you get him back, dredge a Golgari Thug and you have your two creatures to cast for your Vengevine.
Grim Lavamancer - 4 Birds of Paradise was too much. But I did not want to drop my 1cmc creatures down. Grim gives me reach and board control. May have to up his numbers as he has been very good.

Other than that, the deck is a blast to play.
