BUG Attrition deck- Pilot:Jonathan Brown
The deck is meant to lean heavily on it's disruption package to combat fast combo decks, while giving it mainboard options agains control decks. (Ravenous Rats, Brain Maggot, Duress, Despise)
The midgame should be played by using Wasteland Strangler to process cards removed with Brain Maggot and Ashiok to remove opponents creatures while presenting a threat. Once a card exiled with Brain Maggot has been processed, it can be sacrificed to Fleshbag Marauder. Ravenous Rats also serve as Marauder fuel. Ashiok is also a potent threat against creature based decks, and slower decks can sometimes lose to his ultimate ability.
Sidisi and Whip of Erebos are the top end of the deck and are the main tools other than Ashiok, to generate on board advantage. Playing 4 copies of Sidisi allows you to be a bit more aggressive with her if you manage to draw more than 1 copy.
Nighthowler is a way to gain a loarge chunk of life by attacking with a whip in play. It can also be used to power up an existing creature and give you a way to 2 for 1 your opponents removal and have a creature on the table after a sweeper.
Cemetery Reaper is included as a 1 of to allow larger swings with the zombies generated by Sidisi and also as a piece of graveyard hate against opposing graveyard strategies. It's also a threat producing creature by itself, and while slow, if left unchecked it can take over a game.
Disrupt - Remove - Swarm
Update - Swapped out 4x Sinister Concoction for 1x Dismember1x Murderous Cut1x Ulcerate1x Disfigure
- the spread of removal spells has proved more resource efficient than the potential 2(or 3) for 1 you risk when activating concoction. The enchantment based removal is good, but more conventional reactive spells allow the deck to play a bit less rigidly
