Improving Deathfed
Deck Help forum

Hey guys! With the release of Dark Ascension there, and the current cards available in Standard today, I wish to ask for budget advice for improving the Deathfed Event Deck.
My current copy is unchanged from the original, so take a look at the list online and give me your thoughts, mainboard or sideboard! :D
Tracker's Instincts is a must, it ended up completely replacing forbidden alchemy in my deck
Dawntreader Elk is a possible choice, although between it and Viridian Emissary, it really depends on your preferences and how you play
Ghoultree is also solid creature for this kind of deck
Artful Dodge is a card I find extremely useful when I have Ghoultrees and Boneyard Wurms in play. You can mill it and still use it, or get 2 uses out of it from your hand
Increasing Confusion is also a possible choice, although I wouldn't really put in the deathfed deck
Other than that, Deadly Allure is a possibility to force trades
You can see my deck here, G/U Splinters

I recommend Phantasmal Bear he puts the heat on quick and then can fuel your gy if he gets shot down.
Wreath of Geists can double your boneyard wurm or splinterfright. It also works well with Invisible Stalker
I would drop the Acidic Slime in favor of Ambush Viper It's faster and it will die too giving your / stuff +2. It's more of a trap as well.
I'm just trying to speed things up for the deck. I've noticed trying to get splinterfright or boneyard big is sloooooooow. I think you need early pressure for things to work. Young Wolf + Hunger of the Howlpack is pretty quick and nasty.

I forgot Typhoid Rats. I honestly think trading small creatures that have deathtouch Typhoid Rats / Ambush Viper is more dependable than sitting there trying to mill yourself.

I agree with clymyd in regards to running creatures to die/ trade off, however I think you need some self mill to speed up the process.

These are the changes I've made to the deck, still needs some work, but see what you think deck:mills-to-pay-the-bills.
