Flying, death touch, lifelink, equipped with first strike all for three mana. I like that sound of that.

DecentlyRecently Thanks!! Definitely a fitting addition to the deck.

You ever think about gifted aetherborn? It's like close to three bucks a card but it's a greasy two drop.

DecentlyRecently I have thought about it, yes. I just can't bring myself to replace anything I currently have on the board otherwise it'd be in there. My current 2 drops have either flash, which is insanely useful, or reach, my only current defense against flying.

Another card that works with glossy the traitor is Motorpod and a good one to consider as a replacement to sharpened pitchfork would be Bladed Pinions

im surprised you're not taking advantage of the interaction between deathtouch and trample here. if a creature has both trample and deathtouch, it need only assign 1 damage to each blocker before the rest can be assigned to the player. for example, a 5/5 attacker with deathtouch and trample being blocked by a single creature (regardless of how big it is. even a 10/10) can assign 1 damage to the blocker, and 4 to the defending player.

HydraOoze: Phage the Untouchable needs to deal combat damage to the player for them to lose. Viridian Longbow doesn't deal combat damage.

Wing Puncture is quality removal against flying creatures. This might be really good in the sideboard.

You can replace Murder with Doom Blade

PhoenixNest Personally, I prefer Murder. That one extra mana is worth the ability to me. “Non-Black” is a pretty huge condition. Big amount of creatures I wouldn’t be a able to kill. It’s just a personal preference, though. Thanks for the suggestion!

Vampire Nighthawk en Gifted Aetherborn are strong deathtouch cards.

Lure is honestly a really terrible card. If they remove your creature, it's a 2v1 in their favor. I would replace both Tragic Slip and Lure with Nature's Way. You're also not running the best deathtouch creatures. Vampire Nighthawk, Gifted Aetherborn, and Rhonas the Indomitable are all better options over Deadly Recluse and Dire Fleet Poisoner. Rancor would also be a fantastic option of adding the more-powerful-than-first strike-and-deathtouch combo, trample + deathtouch. You can assign one damage to their blockers, since that counts as lethal, and then the rest can go at their face. Are they blocking with a 5/6? Too bad, they take 4 trample damage from your Vengeful Pharaoh.

Nemesis Mask is a recurring Lure . Granted its costly to get out and equipped in a turn.

I know this modern, but if it weren't, Virtus the Veiled and Gorm the Great would be an awesome fit.

Arc Spitter is a staple in this deck. The other equipment are too expensive

Lord_Olga says... #16

cards That is a nice price, but I'm not a fan of it needing a creature to block your creature.

With Viridian Longbow and the like, you can just tap your creature and kill anything at any time, even on opponents turns.

Have you thought of adding the new Glissa, Glissa Sunslayer? Would add a variation to your arsenal and offers decent tech.

NonetheWeisser Oooh thats pretty cool I'll definitely think about that one

I really think you should consider some to give your creatures trample like chariot of victory, rune of might or talons of the wild wood... Just because of the way trample and deathtouch interact.

Goblinking81 anything you think could go to make room?

Goblinking81 says... #21

I would think if your going with chariot of victory you could take out either sharpened pitchfork or viridian claw since the chariot gives first strike as well...

I really like the thought of hitting someone with a gifted aetherborn that has the chariot equipped and a lure especially if you can get the eternal thirst on him... I know it's a lot of cards all at once but it's kinda gross!

Fynn, the Fangbearer would be a nice addition.

The Viridian Longbow + Thornbite Staff + deathtouch creature board wipe combo is just like the Goblin Sharpshooter + Basilisk Collar one. Pretty cool to see this again, especially with the colorless options.

Nice work with this one, the overall price of the deck is impressive too as Thornbite is not a cheap card.

Craeter thanks!! do you have any thoughts on improving it?

Craeter says... #25

Lord_Olga Seems pretty solid to me! I'd just cut a couple of basic lands for two Diabolic Tutors to ensure a key combo card can be pulled when needed. The mana curve is really low so I wouldn't think 23 lands are needed, 21 should be fine. Could even go as low as 20 to push it, but 21 would be good imo.
