Still in early stages yet, feedback appreciated!I'll explain some of the choices:Abrupt Decay removes low cost aggro threats and detention sphere from control. Great in all matchups! Corpsejack Menace is synergetic though may seem like the weakest card in the deck it works well with what I'm using. Still not 100% on this card, will take some testing. Elvish Mystic is early ramp into powerful cards and late chumps against powerful stuff or food for the troll (same for Sylvan Caryatid with added hexproof). Golgari charm is the most important card in the deck would you believe? The ability to mass regen from Supreme Verdict or a bad trade off not to mention enchantment removal for things like Whip of Erebos, Chained to the Rocks and Detention Sphere. Hero's Downfall is a must in any deck that has a swamp, kill a creature or a walker at instant speed? Kalonian Hydra is SO strong if it sticks, in fact 1 swing might be game winning. Still thinking of playing 4 hydras and dropping the corpsejack, we'll see. The troll is superb, synergises with both corpsejack and Kalonian with regen built in is perfect! Mistcutter Hydra is strong both early vs blue devotion and control and late vs anything not to mention more kalonian/corpsejack synergy! Putrefy to round up the removal, I was thinking 4 hero's downfall and abrupt decay but having that artifact target and not double black in the cost and no regen might make all the difference. Finally Vraska, well I have to have at least 1 walker in a deck like this and she's not a bad one. I was tempted at dropping her for Kalonian for more synergy but she's quite intimidating, may just play 1 of her and 3 Kalonians!Sideboard is self explanitary I think, other than why Thoughtseize is not main deck you should be able to work out why things are there! Gaze of Granite is the only board card I'm considering main. Mass removal, especially one you have control over is rather useful!
