Balthor is awesome and one of my favorite decks to play when playing a multiplayer game with strangers. I do suggest making room for some opposing graveyard hate beyond just Bojuka Bog . Leyline of the Void and Withered Wretch are both amazing. Crypt Incursion and Nihil Spellbomb can also be fun.

Fleshwrither deserves some consideration. Not only can it grab Crypt Ghast , Flesh-Eater Imp and Graveborn Muse , but it can also retrieve your general if he gets tucked.

Bubbling Muck and Songs of the Damned will produce a lot of mana for you. Mortal Combat is another awesome way to win. Death Pit Offering made it's way into my deck but it's not for everybody.

+1 for Flesh-Eater Imp . I might have to find room for him in my build.

Glad to hear someone else plays Balthor as well. I love playing this deck as much as my overpowered Azusa and Xenagos deck. Also thanks for the +1

I never even knew Bubbling Muck existed I'll be picking one up for the deck. Don't know if I like Songs of the Damned but I think it could be good. I will definitely add a Fleshwrither since it also grabs Grave Pact . I could see adding just one piece of graveyard hate because I would hate to dilute the decks main plan of get a mass reanimate. I'll probably go with the Nihil Spellbomb since it doubles as a can-trip early on.

I don't think ill play Mortal Combat if I get 20 guys I probably won the game already. Death Pit Offering also seems subpar for me since I rarely go into the red zone. Thanks for the suggestions mate

Sure thing. Unfortunately Fleshwrither only grabs creatures. You might be thinking of the Transmute ability.

If you were going to make room for only once piece of graveyard hate, I would strongly suggest Withered Wretch . He can be reanimated constantly and pick out essential pieces of everybody's graveyard, not just one players whole yard.

Yea i definitely was thinking transmute so maybe ill add Dimir House Guard he can also be a sac outlet. You raise a point on Withered Wretch I suppose it would be better in this deck over spellbomb
