Been playing since '96: Took an 8-year hiatus after the Urza's Block Banned List saw many in my area leave the game. Got back into it during Zendikar/Scars and haven't stopped!
Helped a local pizza shop get the WPN license we needed to host games. Meta Voted on: "Which Set does everyone want to Draft?" (back when snagging old boxes was easier) Every other week was different: Ice Age, Kamigawa, Alara, Future Sight, Eventide, etc... even a 12-man Unhinged with EPIC laughs! xD
I cherish the game in many ways... but the amount of insane profit milking going on & the direction Hasbro is pulling them, might dip again. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Beebles - I'm jealous. ;D Golgari is my favorite Guild, and this is one of the most tuned for cost-v-effect I've seen! =O That said, Carrion Feeder is nearly always underestimated. Mortuary Mire is your new replacement over Woodland Chasm. And if you're ever NOT the problem ;) - Blasphemous Edict could easily be a win-con with how wide this goes. Keep up the wicked min-maxing! 8D

#1Beebles - No worries; always liked Carrion Feeder dropping in at 1cmc to explode triggers is all. Only reason I mentioned the "wipe" was for if someone gets off the ground 1st (Gruul tricks, Animar, Selesnya, etc); as Grave Pact seems to be the "go-to" for that here.
Have you ever considered evasion? I've been chumped many a time with "go-wide, then go-tall" decks, and it feels bad when your 15/15s get shutdown by just good-ol' Avenger of Zendikar (or doubler decks, cough Rhys the Redeemed cough). Ever consider: Song of Freyalise - (elf) Bramblewood Paragon/Tuskguard Captain - or the new Sandstorm Salvager? Suddenly, the snowball is an avalanche ;)
