Who wouldn't join and follow the Ghost Daddy?

Status: not played

It is a deck that consists of colors of my life. When I saw Obzedat, I couldn't just past him and not build and EDH around him. This list that you can see is where it evolved.

I tried to make the deck a little bit faster than the prototype I had. It was just too slow. But I have feeling that this one can be fun to play with, fun to play against and it can be competitive.

Now it is more like a control deck:

• hand disruption: Essential, represented by Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, Duress, Hymn to Tourach, Tidehollow Sculler and Parallax Nexus .

• walkers: Board control represented by Elspeth, additional tutor represented by Liliana.

• removal: When playing W/B, there must be spot removals, like Vindicate and Go for the Throat, but also some board wipes, like Damnation and Wrath of God to take care about the board when needed.

• resurrection: We are playing black, right?

• mana boosts: Needed to speed this deck up a little bit. Represented by Orzhov Signet and Coldsteel Heart.

• creatures: W/B have so many powerful creatures that it is very hard to pick some of them. Those I pick somehow goes with the deck and have worked for it quite good so far.

• combos: And as this is more of a control deck, we are looking for some combos. There are 2 main combos here:

a) Buried Alive (searching for Triskelion + Phyrexian Devourer + Necrotic Ooze) + Animate Dead/Reanimate/Necromancy (reanimating the Necrotic Ooze) = instant win (infinite damage)

b) Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond/Vizkopa Guildmage = infinite lide drain

This deck can surely be done better. There might be some additional tutors, more board wipes, different creatures, equipments, combos and so on. It is up to each of us, which way we choose. This is something between them.

Be sure to check my other EDH:
