This deck works off of how your opponent(s) play THEIR decks:
It is based on REACTION to STYLE of play;
-LIFE GAIN
Disciple of Griselbrand
(when needed, and often when not)
-IS HE CASTING annoying Artifacts, Enchantments, or Lands? Acidic Slime --- need I say any more (mostly for Enchantments Ground Seal or Rest in Peace).
-AGRO decks Deadly Recluse, and
Mortus Strider
deathtouch slows em right down and the strider dies yes, but at least available to block when recast next turn....
-CREATURE DESTRUCTION (have they got a big hydra?) Zealous Conscripts ,
Disciple of Griselbrand
-casting from YOUR GRAVEYARD, HIS/HER GRAVEYARD Havengul Lich, (stops re-occurring Thragtusk's, can't cast it if it's on my side, THIS DECK IS A 5 COLOUR MANA PRODUCER!
-GROWING "BIGGIE" Grimgrin, Corpse-Born, with "VIGILANCE" (sac and un-tap), and "POINT AND KILL" a creature "defending player controls" when HE'S attacking, with never ending supply of creatures to die
Mortus Strider
....death = back to hand..... ALSO SEE BELOW
-DEATHTOUCH RAT TOKENS Ogre Slumlord (trust me ... creatures die!)
-GRAVEYARD EXILING (sideboard in) Elixir of Immortality ... RE-ACT first!
And in a perfect world as your turn ends, Conjurer's Closet.... Bounce/Flicker a Zealous Conscripts or an Acidic Slime....
Am I correct to think, with the Zealous Conscripts AND Conjurer's Closet combo, there is still the final "reaction" time to activate a
Disciple of Griselbrand
sacrifice ABILITY for 1 CMC and "killing" one final creature on opponents side of field?...... ANY ONE KNOW IF THAT DOES WORK? JUDGES????? if they still did have a creature! that's why I got it there!
AND WHAT MAKES THIS ALL HAPPEN?
Disciple of Griselbrand
, Zealous Conscripts , Havengul Lich
3 main cards..... when in doubt.... multiple "Disciples", (MAKE SURE HE IS AVAILABLE!
if Havengul Lich activates to cast onto Zealous Conscripts (in grave), steal a creature, Attack with it in your combat phase, and MAKE SURE IT DIES BY 2nd MAIN PHASE, allowing you to cast from his/her graveyard, Havengul Lich AGAIN to stop it re-appearing on their side of battlefield, again.
Then SACRIFICE a creature EACH TURN somehow, Altar's Reap ,
Disciple of Griselbrand
or FAVORITE Grimgrin, Corpse-Born , TO MAKE ABILTIES OF Harvester of Sorrows (draw card) and Ogre Slumlord token DT rat , "activate"...
There is also Havengul Lich & Alchemist's Refuge , to cast creatures from HIS/HER OR YOUR graveyards ON THEIR TURN ability paid on both land and lich....
so far only huge problem for this deck this is Akroma's Memorial get ride of it if it is on battlefield....
THAT'S ALL FOLK'S PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU LIKE THE DECK... oh ya, i'm lookin for some 4 CMC ideas, when this cycles out, it might become a MODERN Birthing Pod deck!
