Still trying to figure out how to use and abuse Necroskitter . I have gone a few different routs with this deck already and am still tweeking. I've done the infect route and didn't like how it felt, it wasn't fast enough to be full infect. Right now I am thinking a cruel control style midrange deck so hold the battlefield down while setting up my card combo Everlasting Torment + Melira, Sylvok Outcast to make all of my creatures (including the ones I steal with the skitter) essentially indestructible. Thanks Serra_Sentinel for showing me that!

Currently my finisher is Grave Titan. I am not super familiar with black creatures (I typically play Azorius) so if there is a better biggie finisher for black (that isn't Phyrexian Obliterator) please suggest it!

Another great combo I am rocking right now is Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Black Sun's Zenith + Crumbling Ashes . It allows me to wipe the field with no risk to my guys, and anything that survives the zenith will be killed by ashes! All wonderful fodder for my skitter's lovely embrace.

Second Round of Cleanup — July 6, 2015

Hey guys, it's time for another round of cleaning up the comments. I thought I would reply to some of the comments at large through this post, while I am at it.

Firstly, I need to give a huge thank you to Final_Origins for responding to most of peoples comments on this deck in a timely manner and saying pretty much exactly what I would have if not for the fact that I was super busy with work all last week. So thanks!

It seems like Dash Hopes is not a good fit in this deck. I have always wanted to find a deck that it fits well in, but this is just not it. I do like the suggestion of running Vines of Vastwood in here, but I am at a crossroads. I also don't have any draw spells, and am tossing around the idea of having Night's Whisper in those three slots instead. Thoughts?

In regards to kurlath knight: I do like it, but isn't the goal to be killing off all of my enemies creatures with Black Sun's Zenith and Crumbling Ashes? Where do you think it would fit well?

Also, speaking of Crumbling Ashes, I am thinking about switching that down to three so I can run four Dismember. I like the auto destroy, but being able to kill off a problem creature on times other than my upkeep is great.

Lastly, NotaNetDeck, you are absolutely right, it is time to start working on a sideboard! I don't know much about B/G cards for sideboards, so I will lots of help with this. I was thinking for sure Vines of Vastwood would find a nice home there, also maybe Ranger's Guile as further protection against burn decks. Thoughts?

Thank you all for the feedback and help, this is getting to good places! Keep it coming. :D
