Araganor, I did have a set of Pacifism in, but I found myself susceptible to everything non-creature. Soul Tithe simply gives me more generic removal (since there's pretty much nothing else for control) for everything from Desecration Demon to Assemble the Legion to Gods like Erebos, God of the Dead .
Yes, technically it does work against Ethereal Armor , but giving your opponent the option to weaken it tempts them even more to sacrafice whatever the enchanted object. Whereas they might want to pay to keep the object in play, making my creature less a +1/+1 counter might encourage more them to sacrafice it, otherwise they'll be down a few mana on their turn. I actually think Soul Tithe is underrated and underused, but maybe that's just me.
This looks like a really fast and scary deck to me. I'm not sure that Cryptborn Horror adds to that theme though. He can't do anything the turn he hits the field, and he may not be very big if your opponent has a number of blockers when you hit 3 lands. I think you'd be better off with either Xathrid Necromancer to give your creatures some resiliency, or Firefist Striker to ensure your damage gets through. Also, as a side note, I think Anger of the Gods is the scariest thing for this deck to deal with. I'm not sure what the answer is, but it would be a good idea to keep an eye out for something to protect yourself from it.
Anyway, as I said, nice deck! +1
I am still curious why you playtested against my deck with such good decks : )
Might want to replace the four Goblin Guide with four Vexing Devil
I have 2x Stormbreath Dragon , Elspeth, Sun's Champion and more. I will trade 40-45 worth of cards to get 1x Karn Liberated
Grisly Salvage ! I'm running golgari right now, and I can tell you that it's amazing. In a consistent deck, it's practically a tutor that fills your graveyard.
Id recommend switching out your divinations with Inaction Injunction . It's cheaper, and detains an enemy creature.
