Hi, It's my first deck intended for standard(i know it's bit late for a BFZ deck but it took me some time finding enough Blight Herder and Conduit of Ruin for it to have a chance to be competitive). The idea is to ingest during the first few turns until i can cast Blight Herder or Conduit of Ruin in order to go for Ulamog or one of he's little friends as soon as possible. And control what doesnt please me with Ulamog's Nullifier and Void Shatter.

For now, some cards are missing to complete intended squares (Ulamog's Nullifier, Blight Herder, Conduit of Ruin and From Beyond).

I still haven't tested it a lot of time. Catacomb Sifter was a filler but i'm thinking of keeping it in the final. Brood Monitors were were to replace missing Blight Herders so i should have too much of it. I have thought adding a fiew Blisterpod to keep "scioned" mana from my first turns or chump block in late game. I was about to remove Grave Birthing but i think it could be useful against the incomming delirium capacity as it is an instant. It also costs the same number of mana than the counterspell instants so it can "securize" my mana when i foresee to counter next turn. I'd say sideboard. Scatter to the wind is an incrased cancel filling an other void shatter's slot.

I'm very doubtful about which card i should add or remove, how many of each should i have, my manabase, etc. Hope you will give me some advices ;)
