Why're you running black lands?

It's because I'm sideboarding Claim//Fame, Postmortem Lunge, Reanimate, and entomb.

Entomb is not modern legal.

I'm not concerned with legality.

if you're not concerned with legality, then you should probably change this deck from "modern" to "casual" if you plan on adding the sideboard.

(3/20) Update: Modern legal sideboard and maybe swap some RTF effect; Demonic Vigor, Reanimate, Claim // Fame.

add the sideboard lol

Reanimate isn't modern legal

Okay, I think this is alright. Any suggestions?

Demonic Tutor is not modern legal. anything that hasn't been printed in a standard legal set since 8th edition is not modern legal. check the gatherer if you're not sure.

Thanks! I didn't realize specifically eighth edition is where the cut off took place; Cremate it is.

Oooo Life from the Loam is a good add, might just yoink it for my evil schemes >:)

TheMenasaur thanks for the upvote and comment! Indeed, Life from the Loam is a nasty little tool, and this deck has Golgari potential, as well as Tribal potential.

I'd recommend you check out my MBD Zombie deck as well because it uses similar synergies. Again, thanks for your comment and I look forward to interacting with you on other discussions. :)

First things first, my own bear deck: Legenbearies - Ayula's Hibernation Engine

A perfect replacement for Grizzly Bears would be Mother Bear. When it's in your hand, it's the sameas the vanilla bear, but if it dies or you dredge it, it's straight gas from the grave. Grizzly Fate is similar.

I reallylike what you did here. I always try to give tribal lists a special twist to have the experience of playing them be more than "land, creature, attack, go". You definitely achieved that here, great job!

seshiro_of_the_orochi thank you so much for the commentary, recommendations, and upvote! I'm going to check out your lists now. :)
