I would look for some more fuel for Lotleth Troll and his discard ability. Maybe look into some cards with madness or unearth like Big Game Hunter or Dregscape Zombie to work with Gravecrawler . Bloodghast works too.

I like the deck a lot just keep the Canopy Cover , Thoughtseize , and Extirpate handy against decks running white. Last thing you want to do is invest cards into Lotleth Troll just for it to get zapped by Path to Exile and not be able to regenerate it.

A sideboard option to replace Deglamer with could be Nature's Claim or Golgari Charm they all have pros and cons. Deglamer can handle indestructible permanents while the others are cheaper or has multiple uses. User preference I guess.

Hey, thanks for that comment man! You made good points actually about almost the whole deck. I'll consider all of them!

Lotleth Troll says discard a card, not sacrifice a creature. This means that the card must be in your hand. Reanimation would do nothing for it.

@mymanpotsandpans: I forgot all about Big Game Hunter, it's a great card but his CMC is a bit high for this deck; I'm trying hard to keep the average under 2 CMC. Also I feel as if my deck needs to discard regularly and is too slow in that regard in order to cast him for B. I'm probably leaning more towards Dregscape or Bloodghast. Went with Nature's Claim for it's G cost.

@MCY998: Agreed, I don't think reanimation would help much in this deck either.

Maybe trade out the Putrid Leach for Nantuko Husk so you can use it to abuse Gravecrawler. I think 4x Grafted Wargear & Lightning Greaves is a bit much. Maybe take out 2x of each and add 4x Tragic Slip so you have some form of removal.

@m4ver1k: I used to run Tragic Slips and was considering it as well. Nantuko Husk is also a nice choice. Thanks for the tips!

Cool Deck I might take out Putrid Leech or Diregraf Ghoul and put in some Highborn Ghoul for the ability to not be blocked.

@IsaacSwan14: I did see Highborn Ghoul and was interested in it's ability. Pumped up, it would make significant damage. Thanks for the reminder and suggestion for the card man!

Hey Vincent! If you do I bet it would look pretty cool.

My deck that I'm playtesting, Soul Sisters Forever, swept this deck pretty easily. I think the main problem this deck has is that it doesn't have enough cards that modify a cards toughness. Even though it didn't matter if Gravecrawler died, it was susceptible to Path to Exile as soon as it entered the battlefield. Even though you could easily pump Putrid Leech , your life total was pretty low with no creatures with reach or flying so it wasn't viable. I could then block with a creature with first strike and dominate your Leech. The main problem was that my fliers went right over you and I was gaining so much life your attacks didn't do that much. Torpor Orb would have wrecked my deck, except that you didn't draw any.

Overall, its a great deck though. I'd definitely add some reach and counterspells, as well as creature removal.

Vines of Vastwood counters Paths. Lightning Greaves give shroud once they hit the field. True, Grafted Wargear is the only thing that pumps toughness. Leech is not the only creature that has a combat trick, don't forget Lotleth Troll pumps as well with added regen. Both bypass Bolts.

Vengevine or Abrupt Decay . Drop the Warriors' Lesson , it doesn't do enough when you want it to.

OpenFire, thanks I'll take your suggestions into consideration. I have those playsets lying around somewhere.

This deck desperately needs removal. Cut out 3 Mutagenic Growth s, Garruk, and 4 Lightning Greaves for 4 Abrupt Decay and 4 Thoughtseize .

Don't get me wrong, Lightning Greaves is a good card but Uktabi Drake already has haste and Diregraf Ghoul has to wait a turn to attack anyway. Also shroud means that if you have only one creature in play and it has greaves on it then you can't put Rancor , Vines of Vastwood , or Grafted Wargear on it because you can't target it.

I used to play GB Zombies just like you and I transferred some of it into this cool new deck that you can get help from if you are interested.

Actually instead of 4 Thoughtseize , try 2 Thoughtseize and 2 Inquisition of Kozilek so you have less life-loss effects in your deck.
