Could lose maybe one or two lands for a couple new additions. Like Crypt of Agadeem and Everglades for a Swamp at the moment or other things.

accurate, in my experience 36-38 lands is best.

NecroPony, any ideas of what to remove for it? I was thinking Pestilence Demon but also thought I could keep the flying.

Bloodghast and Nether Traitor make great recurrable sac fodder as they bring themselves backContamination is great, especially if you want to grab a Bitterblossom (or Ophiomancer )to fuel it constantlyMimic Vat and the underrated Jar of Eyeballs would be great to take extra advantage over sacked creaturesDiabolic Intent can be your best friend if played right

November 7, 2015 3:16 a.m.

TheHamster, I don't run Contamination because it's dickish and would screw over my Cabal Coffers, and for Mimic Vat any ideas for what it should replace?

honestly, Dregs of Sorrow or Coat of Arms with Dregs, it's overcosted for what it does and any normal boardwipe would be better in that situation where you would use it anyways. the CoA because albeit you make a lot of zombie tokens, most of your actual creatures don't get the buff from it, and it also effects your foe's field as well where if they are playing slivers or goblins, or any sort of actual tribal, you just gave them the victory.

TheHamster I will probably replace Coat of Arms, what would you advise for replacing Dregs of Sorrow

if you can afford it either Damnation or the judges promo of Overwhelming Forces (since it's the cheaper (also prettier) printing for around $30 instead of $85) alternative cheaper boardwipes for that slot would be Crux of Fate or Life's Finale personally I would recommend Overwhelming Forces the most; in comparison to Dregs of Sorrow it's the same manacost as killing only 3 things, but with the addition of being able to hit other players with black creatures, plus a lot of potential card draw depending on the type of deck your opponent has.

also I notice you're running Thornbite Staff if you want to get some extra value with it throw in a Hell's Caretaker (fun infinite of sac/recursion) would take out the Flesh Carver for it since it's a human and wouldn't get undying with Mikaeus

November 9, 2015 10:07 p.m.

Thanks TheHamster!! I found that really helpful and will definitely do that as a better sac outlet!

November 10, 2015 1:06 p.m.

TheHamster or NecroPony, do you have any ideas for a good replacement for Grave Titan? He just sits around when out and I think there might be better things out there but wasn't too sure.

I've said it before but Abyssal Persecutor is bad. Also grave titan is great...

November 10, 2015 2:03 p.m.

Abyssal Persecutor helps with politics in a game. At least it does for me.

November 10, 2015 2:56 p.m.

TheHamster says... #20

I agree, Abyssal Persecutor is pretty bad even with politics, Grave Titan is an amazing card but if your looking for something else in that slot a few options would be Wurmcoil Engine, Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Mindslicer, or Kokusho, the Evening Star

November 10, 2015 4:39 p.m.

I never though about it but yeah, Wurmcoil Engine would work well. I'll probably use Kokusho, the Evening Star in place of Abyssal Persecutor then.

November 10, 2015 4:46 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #22

I agree with TheHamster. I ran all of those cards when I still had Gisa together, excluding Mindslicer. You'D do well to heed his advice.

November 10, 2015 4:56 p.m.

Okay Mr NecroPony

well I'm a her, but anyways, gave you a +1 hope to see your deck come along nicely

November 10, 2015 11 p.m.

TheHamster thanks! It's really appreciated
