The guildmage might be worth a try... it's just a matter of changing play styles. The only reason the idea appealed to me was the fact that i try not to commit too much to the board, and that recycling a creature just appeals more because it doesn't stop being useful.

On sideboard notes, Deathrite Shaman is always worth main boarding. It's useful against any deck that ends up with things in the graveyard, which is most decks... you're better off running a set of Duress as opposed to running it alongside Sheltering Word . The change-over would need 8 free slots. Shouldn't Golgari Charm be able to deal with majority of the removal they throw at you anyway? I'd definitely consider Sever the Bloodline in the sideboard against token decks, Witchbane Orb against curses, not that they're really worth worrying about, and RDW and if the deck changes so you wind up using lots of scavenge cards like Dreg Mangler i'd suggest running Ground Seal to deal with decks running Deathrite Shaman . Maybe mainboard a single Acidic Slime or run 2 Naturalize in the sb against artifacts. If you have a problem with planeswalkers you might want to look at Bramblecrush . With only 2 fliers in the whole deck you might need to board in a few answers against fliers like Thundermaw Hellkite possible options are Plummet and Aerial Predation ... apparently the lifegain isn't negligible

just used this baby on my local fnm and it was unstopable!

i used Sever the Bloodline against tokens and azorius agro, the ooze get's really big and against rakdos i used Revenge of the Hunted to kill all the zombies (when there was no Blood Artist )

That sounds like a good variation = ) The all creatures forced to block has always been really really tempting for me. Sort of like a reverse Champion of Lambholt ;)

I've had a lot of fun with it so far! I did make it to FNM tonight so expect my results write-up in the next few days. Exam week might delay it till the start of next week.

Hey Gigglestomp, have you found a way to deal with mass flying tokens (either generated through Talrand, Sky Summoner or Spirit Token Decks)? I seem to have a big problem with them, as they will just straight out swarm me. Also, killing wave doesn't cut it when i'm against a counter-deck cause he'll just wait for me to play it to counter it.

spirit token decks can be countered by Golgari Charm

-1/-1 will kill them unless their toughness has been increased. If it has, you will need to use Abrupt Decay or Golgari Charm on the enchantment that has done so.

I havent played against Talrand, Sky Summoner yet but id say some plain old creature hate would take him out. Hes a 4 drop so decay won't work, but that leaves you with Murder , Tragic Slip , Ultimate Price , Victim of Night , Garruk Relentless  ^Flip , Vraska the Unseen .

Another option is Sever the Bloodline which would kill all the Drake tokens or the Spirit Tokens. (Tokens can't be exiled so they are destroyed.)

I'll have a look into that. I just have a lack of luck as I always face decks that I'm very weak against (ie: flying, tokens)

Really nice deck +1, I've taken some inspiration here even though i tried to go different way ;) Thanks for your suggestions...

I read through the comments; I don't know if this has been addressed.

A Primordial Hydra with a Corpsejack Menace will triple the current amount of counters on Primordial Hydra , not quadruple.

At the start of the turn, say Hydra has 4 counters.

It doubles to 8 as per its ability. This then triggers the placement effect of corpsejack menace. Corpsejack then places ANOTHER 4 counters. Thats triple yes (4 becomes 12).

I like the deck. Just for some situational fun, might I suggest for main Grim Backwoods? It's a great land and can help with some fun combos

Can I suggest card:Rogue's Passage? You have a tonne of dual lands so shouldn't get affected massively, and unblockable and not requiring any cards in hand is pretty sic! Could you check my golgari deck out deck:the-incredible-bulk-bg?

I'd add a few Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord . It's amazing when teamed with Lotleth Troll (discard creature to pump both Jarad and Troll) and Jarad can's ability can be a great game-ender when you've pumped a creature.

Also, if you're going to call the deck "Unblockable" I think you're required to run a card:Rogue's Passage or two, right?

Anyways, I've been working on something similar, let me know what you think: deck:jarad-head

Only thing I can see that might want fixing is.. What are you discarding for Lotleth Troll I see Dreg Mangler , but, running, Golgari myself I found it more useful to actually cast him.

oh sorry should've suggested, Gravecrawler will work wonders with the troll. But if you're operating on a budget Slitherhead is a solid card.

Most of the time I don't actually discard anything for the troll. I buff him up with increasing savagery, or i just keep attacking and regenerating him. He doesn't work quite as well with tracker as ooze, but still okay.

I mostly have him, the geists, and the oozes for avoiding board clears and such.

I think you should consider one of the two creatures I mentioned above. But I see what you're saying and yea that is really solid. Although it won't help if your opponent draws a Terminus .

Ill consider gravecrawler. Hes pretty hard to remove too.
