Very fun concept. I run a Golgari deck similar to this and it's so much fun to have a grave full of things that died earlier return to the field suddenly. I'd recommend maybe a few more Immortal Servitudes, just for the repeat factor should you need the combo a few extra times.

Have you considered Altar's Reap instead of Sign in Blood ?

I have! Its a really close call. Ideally, it would work better with my deck, but its definitely risky and has gotten me in trouble with not enough creatures on the field. While I can always afford sac'ing the zombies, sign in blood is just a lot safer. If I ran the deck a little differently, it'd probably be worth it

I like your deck! I have a similar idea, i guess, Newt Stew, anyone?, but anyways i think you should try some of the new m14 cards +1

I'm not sure how efficient Killing Wave and Mutilate are in a deck with 24 creatures. They could be better replaced by Geth's Verdict , Doom Blade , Dismember or Go for the Throat .

good idea. I could use a little more early ammo to buy time - since the deck needs to build up momentum.

Came in hoping to see Phyrexian Unlife . Sad face.

Nantuko Husk is more expensive and has less utility than Viscera Seer . I'd suggest the latter. Also Skirsdag High Priest is really slow and inconsistent in Modern; he'd be removed or the other creatures would. A couple Sign in Blood would be a good choice to replace him, or Bloodghast s.

Skirsdag High Priest is bad because he's slow and will be removed? Either he's threatening or he's not. If they kill him, I'm perfectly fine with a card-for-card trade. Running 2 is fine, especially since I have multiple ways of returning creatures to the field.

Nantuko Hust is a Zombie - which allows him to continually cast and sac Gravecrawler for ridiculous damage/body complimented with Lashwrithe , Disciple of Bolas , etc.

Viscera + Sign in Blood is a good combo, but Dark Prophecy is simply way better in this deck. Viscera doesn't combo with Dark Prophecy either (draw before scry). The deck does not rush so can't say I need a 1 drop (whats he suppose to sac early game?) or Scry when I plan on drawing a ton of cards anyway.

I love this deck... I'd add in 2 Dictate of Erebos for extra lolz.
