Modern tribal skeletons?
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 5, 2013, 3:02 p.m. by Bubbleberry
Looking to start a tribal skeleton deck, of course black-centered, but I'm not sure what other colors to splash in and what to use for things that aren't land/creatures. (Of course, Door of Destinies being a must.) I like Tenacious Dead , and I believe he would trigger door of destinies, would he not? I also really like Carnage Gladiator and maybe Cinderbones ? Thinking of splashing some green, blue, or white as well, but I'm just not quite sure of where to go quite yet. So any suggestions are more than welcome!
Oh... and Death Baron I'm sure would also be good.
I believe Door of Destinies would only get bigger once, when you cast the Tenacious Dead .Since the door requires a spell to be cast, the returning to the battlefield by our Tenacious D won't be able to trigger it, because it isn't a spell but an ability.

Yes. Plus, Door of Destinies is super slow when in modern 4 mana is stuff like Chandra, Pyromaster

Here's one I threw together if you're interested: Cascading Skeletons

What's the other thing like door of destinies? Like "command banner" or something like that? for ever creature of like the same type in the field they all get +1/+1 or something like that.

There we go! what do you think of that as a possibility to buff all these skeletons that won't die?

Definitely will be using Kathari Remnant for sure! Seems like an awesome card. :D

What do you guys think of Duty-Bound Dead ? Or is the regeneration cost too high?

Mr. Bones Wild Ride lol, Reassembling Skeleton is my favorite skeleton tho

But why? Isn't it just a less effective Tenacious Dead ? He cost less mana to cast and basically has the same regen price.

Tenacious Dead needs to be payed as soon as he dies, if Reassembling Skeleton gets milled, BOOM hes back, plus hes efficient for sac effects at the end of an opponents turn too.
Such skeleton, very assemble, wow

Oh! I just assumed he regenerated, not from the graveyard. Holy shit that's glorious!

what do you guys think of Mortus Strider + Door of Destinies ? Is that a combo that could work to just start pumping the door up?

That one would work and trigger the door, but you would need a sac-outlet to make Mortus Strider die first.

Anything you think that would work well in that and could also create some sort of mana-sac combo ramp?

Huh. Yeah I guess that would work well with a card like Reassembling Skeleton .

I was looking at some modern skeletons, and I found Kathari Remnant . So you could keep cascading into more skeletons.
