Unfortunately I can't really run Feral Invocation . Better things take up its slot. For example, Boon Satyr .

How do you feel about Deathrite Shaman in this deck? If you can find the room for it, I think it would make a great addition, Love the deck, +1

Honestly, I love the idea of Deathrite Shaman the One-Drop Planeswalker in the deck. He's amazing. He would probably take the place of Elvish Mystic . However, I really don't want to spend the money on Deathrite Shaman right now. If I could get my hands on several copies for a bargain price then I will put them in the deck. I'm just being cheap at this point.
Thank you so much for the comment and upvote cavefishx.

Have you considered Fated Intervention in this deck? The centaurs are enchantments which you can play on your turn to make trigger constellation and make "very big creatures". :P
Also, if you have an Eidolon of Blossoms in play, Fated Intervention scrys before you draw the cards :)
I might take out 1 Boon Satyr for 1 Fated Intervention . I'm playing a similar deck, but I'm playing simic instead of golgari for Riptide Chimera and Arbiter of the Ideal . Check it out! :)Simic Constellation: Strength from the Riptide

I try to avoid cards like Fated Intervention . They seem nice but what you want in a dredge deck like this is creatures, mill outlets, and cards that reap the benefits of having a lot of creatures in the graveyard. Fated Intervention would likely just get milled by Commune with the Gods and Kruphix's Insight more often than I would actually see it.

I'm building a deck very similar and I've used your deck as a basis. It has been most helpful. Im curious as to how you might feel about Spiteful Returned in this deck?

Personally I don't see any room for a two-drop like Spiteful Returned
in this deck. However, that's just with this current build. I think Spiteful Returned
is a good card. I just think that I've got plenty of two-drops to fill its place. I'm curious to see what your deck would look like.

I run a Golgari reanimator block deck, and I LOVE Erebos's Emissary since it lets you pitch creatures like Lotleth Troll , but helps your constellation theme.

First of all: +1 DAMN This is a great deck! I am going to try it out.
I have a SB Tech question for you. Against which deck archetype(s) would you bring in Vraska the Unseen and what would you take out for it?

j_cofer, I'll throw my 2c into your question: I use her against control and some mid-range.
Most control decks won't ping her down, so if you can wait 3 turns, you'll have a potential win-con on the board if they don't wipe it.
Mid-range will sport big dudes, so you can use her -3 to knock off the big threats.
Most aggro will just ignore her and blitz you, maybe throw some weenies at her, so she's not very useful against aggro. They may keep a few weenies behind in case you do pop her.

j_cofer, sorry it took me a while to get to address your question. thewyzman pretty much has it down. Vraska the Unseen is used as a sideboard against control decks and some midrange decks for the most part. Vraska is great against 3-colour planeswalker based control decks because she can pick them off one by one with her -3 ability. Also against midrange she can -3 to blow up a threat. Lastly she can -7 in slower games and give me 3 1/1 asssassin creatures that the opponents have to block.
As far as what I would take out for Vraska the Unseen , it depends on the match. Against control decks I would probably remove 2x Lotleth Troll because the regeneration and trample abilities become a lot less valuable when they have no creatures to trample over and mostly use exile spells. Obviously if they are using things like Hero's Downfall I would keep the troll for his survivability and probably just remove two cards like 1x Nighthowler and 1x Eidolon of Blossoms because there's 4 of each in the deck.

What are your thoughts on adding Sylvan Caryatid into the deck?It would allow you to drop the guild gates as they tap for any color mana. They also provide an early game blocker that is tough to remove.
I'm not sure if I'd drop 4xMystic to add 4 of them but I'm sure they would be a great addition.

I have created a similar deck and have become unstuck against Jund Walkers several times, how would you deal with this matchup?
August 20, 2014 3:27 a.m.
Hero's Downfall for jund walkers imo, or Garruk, Apex Predator if you've got access to him.

If I were you, I would actually add some true dredge cards - Golgari Grave-Troll, Bridge from Below, Narcomoeba, Dread Return, Flayer of the Hatebound, etc. I'll tell you what, I'll just put in a link to my Vintage Manaless Dredge deck.
