I am having troubles with my deck:br-zombie-aggro-24-10-12-2 deck. I can normally win within 5-8 turns easily. But when I face down B/G zombies, I tend to have trouble. Lotleth Troll with regen seems to be the biggest problem. What can you suggest I sideboard for these types of decks,
Run 4 lotleth trolls. Pump them up with gravecrawlers and slitherheads and then scavenge the slitherheads and bring the gravecrawelers back. (pretty deadly combo as lotleth/gravecrawlers are basically staying. Then run descretation demon

oh nvm ur red/black?
rakdos shred freaks and rakdos cacklers. 4 deadbores. Against the lotleth trolls i recommend exiling them with PILLAR OF FLAME(s).

That's not the point Pillar only helps if you actually kill the troll If he keeps regening the troll you have wasted your spells and he still has the troll

Oh gee I wasted two spells on ONE creature next turn he plays another one and now you cant do anything about it. Its much more efficient with Death Wind

Not really but ok, and its more likely that he'll keep one swamp open at all times to make sure you don't try anything

Now and more that i think about it, pithing needle is a great card to sideboard especially for troll

Thanks for all the ideas guys! I think the Pithing Needle is a great idea for removing the regen ability. All the other cards you mentioned are worth a try as well. Death Wind could be great as well!

no problem. can you critique my red/blue/white deck? i posted the link above and looking for sugesstions

Why don't you simply use Tragic Slip ? With this spell, he can't regenerate the troll.

I have an Idea you can play cards that give your opponents creatures -1/-1 counters or -x/-x until end of turn this goes around regen because you cant have a creature with zero toughness Crippling Blight for when the troll first comes in, or maybe cards like Mutilate ,Rix Maadi Guildmage if you want to spend the mana for her and its awfully specific, Auger Spree seems fun and might be useful or just a waste of a might spell, Death Wind , Stab Wound ,or Undead Executioner might be of interest. on a different track Barter in Blood might help, or Killing Wave but that might be as harmful to you as him and he probably will have the mana to pay for the costs. All of these cards are standard legal. good luck to you!
