hi Magg811 thanks for the idea i wasn't aware of that dragon's maze card i feel the random aspect maybe inneficient at some point also 6 mana without having any effect by the turn seems slow !Anyway thanks for sharing ideas !

From the best varolz lists I've seen, I've come to the conclusion that the only creatures worth in including solely for the sake of scavenging are Death's Shadow and Phyrexian Dreadnought . The others are just no where near as efficient. Also, Thrun, the Last Troll and Inkmoth Nexus are amazing here.

hey thank you Blakkhand i forgot to put Inkmoth Nexus in the acquiring board thanks for reminding me of that , i use Nyxathid and Phyrexian Soulgorger because only two scavengers aren't enough ,also pumping up a creature then sacrifice it with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord often assures me the game , i'll give a tough to Thrun, the Last Troll but i think he won't make the cut for being to bad in the graveyard ! thanks for your input !

Lord of Extinction would go well in here depending on how much you dredge. Also, Primeval Titan is banned in commander.
June 2, 2013 8:40 p.m.
Yeah i forgot to put Lord of Extinction in the acquire board , also this is 1v1 french rules Primeval Titan and Protean Hulk are allowed !

There are faster way to built a graveyard than dredge. Hermit Druid and cut those basic lands to 5-10. I also love to use Altar of Dementia as a sac outlet that mill myself.
Mind's Eye could help you draw more cards, or dredge on your opponent's turn.
I see a major problem in that deck, you will generate some big creatures with counters and all... But can they connect? You need some landwalk or unblockable or combat tricks so you wont get chump blocked. Also, once you just exiled/scavenged some creatures, a clever opponent will Murder the buffed creature leaving you with nothing. You need some hexproof.
I got two decks you might want to check for idea. My 1 vs 1 deck skullbriar, agro lord, for evasion and protection, and my toolbox reanimator deck Don't touch my graveyard for filling your grave.

Also not sure about french rules, but in official rules Protean Hulk and Primeval Titan are banned....if the prime titan is ok, you should invest in Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers . Sylvan Scrying could also help that combo. Filth also mix real nice with urborg and will provide evasion.
June 12, 2013 12:01 a.m.
Mind's Eye does nothing when dredged also it makes me draw only one card each turn Altar of Dementia is irrelevant there too
About Filth i prefer Brawn but i'll consider it if i get the lands you talked about ,they would be really great with Primeval Titan allowing me to get that Sylvan Scrying back to the deck!
@Bobgalarneau i've checked both of your deck i understand that dredge isn't the fastest way to fill my graveyard ,While Hermit Druid is banned in 1v1 French Rules both Primeval Titan and Protean Hulk are allowed,
I don't know if you ever used Varolz, the Scar-Striped as commander ,but the point is not only to dredge rapidly but at some point i'm need to fill my graveyard each turn ! Getting Death's Shadow /Phyrexian Dreadnought to the graveyard and just going in often allows me to win.Scavenging on varolz ,which regenerates from those Murder (i don't see that many people playing them tought) waiting to be sacrified toJarad, Golgari Lich Lord is another way i use to win Thanks you for sharing your opinion !

if you're going infect, you definitely want Inkmoth Nexus in there :)
July 1, 2013 4:03 a.m.
@ CAZYCARS could you tell me the banned cards (Protean Hulk isn't by the french rules)
@ deathabat7x yeah of course i'm looking for Inkmoth Nexus i've put it in the acquireboard thanks
July 1, 2013 10:05 a.m.
Protean Huik Primeval Titan are banned how ever there 2 main ways to play in French Primeval Titan is not band but all sorts of other stuff is

Definitely want that Vampiric Tutor to fix your draw for the next turn and make it easier to find your win condition. To be able to play at a very high tempo, I would suggest getting rid of any lands that will enter the battlefield tapped. If you get stuck with those in hand and you need to make a land drop, you'll be stuck for a turn having them come in tapped.
July 22, 2013 7:33 a.m.
hey Smith_and_Tonic thanks for the input there forgot about adding vampiric tutor to the wish list ;about lands: so far Barren Moor and Tranquil Thicket have make me draw usually but i'm thinking about cutting Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds maybe when i get that Vampiric Tutor as replacement for Tainted Pact forcing me to play more of nonbasics lands and the snow covered i got
July 22, 2013 9:54 a.m.
I would recommend Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth for increased mana
October 12, 2013 7:07 a.m.
Also on another note Lord of Extinction seems really good.
October 12, 2013 7:15 a.m.
Shouldn't Dark Confidant be accompanying Ad Nauseam and Dark Tutelage (unless this is for budget reasons)? Also, I really like Hatred here, as the deck is already trying to do very similar things with scavenged creatures.
October 12, 2013 3:52 p.m.
even if the deck is played casually of course i would like to get Dark Confidant some day, Hatred seems overpriced but thanks anyway !

Cool Deck! I would take out Hex Parasite just because if someone uses Mindslaver and takes your turn they can kill you by activating his ability for 0 over and over again. Maybe throw in some unblockable or shadow like Tormented Soul or Nether Traitor . Check out my B/G commander deck too! The Darkest Soul
October 28, 2013 7:46 p.m.
Hey Squirrel_of_War thanks for your suggestions there ! Nether Traitor used to be there in an earlier version of this deck but it has been cut because he doesn't do much if i can't scavenge onto him or if Skullclamp isn't around ... But i'm keeping it in my mind maybe it could come back later !
I mostly play against Animar, Soul of Elements , so i could say that Hex Parasite is kind of build against him, also it provides me a way to deal with planeswalker or any permanents with counters on them, about Mindslaver 's situation you told me about if Varolz, the Scar-Stripped is out i just sacrifice the parasite or i'll let it happened since it will be once in a lifetime :)
thanks for your comment there i'll be checking your deck soon !

One other card I would suggest is Homeward Path Since you play against a Talrand deck.

Deadbridge Chant would be useful here.
