---

After years away from the hobby due to personal reasons (I was trapped in the Shadow Realm) I remade my old budget EDH deck. The basic idea is to make Sengir, the Dark Baron grow by saccing my creatures and/or removing my opponents' ones. And since I have some graveyard recursion, Tormod, the Desecrator gives me zombie tokens to either sac or keep for combat since they can grow with Cemetery Reaper + Lord of the Accursed . I leaned a bit into "creature type matters" with cards like Liliana's Contract, Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond and the previously mentioned Lord + Reaper. Also, I added some ways to give infect to Syr Konrad, the Grim since he'll be pinging my opponents frequently (I wanna add Tainted Strike but I don't know what to replace). There's also a not insignificant amount of card draw, which is why I got Reliquary Tower and Thought Vessel. Finally, some ramp that also plays into the deck's theme, mainly Bog Witch, Soldevi Adnate and Vesper Ghoul.

Honestly, I really love this deck. It's far from perfect but I'm super proud of it (it's my first EDH deck after all) and it's so fun! That being said, criticism is more than welcome.
