This is my take on the vengevine recursion deck focusing on the colors of green, black and blue. The goal is, with the addition of blue, provide more engines for self-mill with hedron crab, magus of the bazaar, and thoughtscour. The main point of the deck is to cheat out bloodghasts, vengevines, and gravecrawlers out fast through the graveyard or by discarding them to cards like lotleth troll. Other popular dredge cards such as stinkweed imp and life from the loam are included to help advance cards to the graveyard, and birds of paradise are used for early mana fixing. Cards that are being tested right now are ghoultree, skaab ruinator, thoughtseize, and abrupt decay, which bring more different attack methods and removal to this deck. It would be wonderful if anyone could provide feedback so that this deck can become a streamlined, efficient wrecking machine. Thanks!

Note: It would be most helpful if people gave their thoughts on ghoultree and skaab ruinator! Those are cards that I am not certain have a home in this deck, and if someone could offer replacements, that would be appreciated.

-1 Ghoultree +1 Skaab Ruinator — July 25, 2016

Edit

Running playtests I decided to make this decision, when I first included skaab ruinator in this deck I was a little apprehensive that needing to exile three creatures from the graveyard would be a little hard to do, especially in a deck that heavily relies on pulling stuff from the graveyard. But after playtests, whenever skaab ruinator came about in the deck, it always had good synergy because cards like hedron crab, lotleth troll, magus of the bazaar, and birds of paradise, when in the graveyard, did nothing, so there were always cards to make it effective. Conversely, ghoultree was quite poor because it was a vanilla beater, was useless in graveyard, and was rarely casted for a significant drop in price. So another skaab ruinator in, which should just improve the amount of times it turns up, and I only expect to cast one per game, ideally.
