This is my newest Golgari deck. It is a dredge(ish) deck. It is a Devotion Deck. Its a convertible deck. Yep.

The idea is to completely change from a creature-heavy dredge aggro deck into a removal heavy midrange deck.

The dredge dependent cards have controlish counterparts in the SB. After the first hand, my opponent will side in removal, and probably even some graveyard hate.

This makes their deck weaker as I will have removed my dredge components (Read: stupidly huge, graveyard dependent creatures, and the spells that make them so) in favor of MY removal suite.

In both cases, Nylea, God of the Hunt and Pharika, God of Affliction will be present, as will ramp in the form of Elvish Mystic and Satyr Wayfinder. Hand disruption (Brain Maggot) and Doomwake Giant stays in both cases, also.

As an aside: Doomwake Giant is awesome! He dodges all kinds of burn and removal. He isn't powerful enough to get hit by Selesnya Charm , Doomblade don't work, Mizzium Mortars and even Fated Conflagration don't do enough damage. He eats Master of Waves and Soldier of the Pantheon. /aside

The 15 that come out:

• 3x Commune with the Gods
• 2x Kruphix's Insight
• 4x Strength from the Fallen
• 4x Nighthowler
• 2x Nemesis of Mortals

As you can see this is either pretty good or pure janky crap. =D

Suggestions and +1's are welcome. If you do suggest a spell, please also advise what you'd take out. Thanks!
