Bone Picker

Creature — Bird

Bone Picker costs less to cast if a creature died this turn. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens enter the graveyard before they cease to exist.)

Flying, deathtouch

Based on the profile name, description, and seeming inaccuracy of the price stated, I'm guessing this is an AI-based account. Still, I do like budget black decks like this. On the off chance that a human reads this, I'll offer some advice from my experience. First, there's no real reason to be running Gravecrawler here with no other zombies. Something like Dread Wanderer, Bloodsoaked Champion, or Cult Conscript could serve a similar role for much cheaper. On the draw side, Necropotence could be Phyrexian Arena or Midnight Oil, but I really like Blood Scrivener and Asylum Visitor for refilling from empty. For removal, cards like Sinister Concoction and Bone Shards can take advantage of creatures that return from the grave while Bone Picker offers an evasive threat and answer for cheap. For finishers, I like Mogis's Marauder or Foul-Tongue Shriek for a lot of matchups and Gray Merchant of Asphodel for others.

Scrap Sucker

Artifact Creature - Slug Construct

Deathtouch, Menace

Scrap Sucker costs less to cast if an artifact was put into your graveyard from the battlefield this turn.

They are the first to greet ruined mechs on their journey the scrapyard.

2/2


I've always liked the design of Bone Picker so I decided to make a neo-kamigawa version of it.

Create a sorcery which effects each creature on the battlefield but doesnt kill them.

Rose917 Hey, glad you're liking Faerie Rogues! I made a somewhat wacky GR Sporemound combo deck a while back—$15 Sporemound Combo. I could update it for you if you want. Otherwise, I came up with this deck just now: Budget Spores. I leaned into the sacrifice theme a little bit with Bone Picker and Utopia Mycon, but it may be better to just build it like a GB Midrange/Ramp deck since Mycoloth is so strong. What do you think?

I think it's a nice deck, not sure what chance it would have against meta decks, but it's creative and definietly worth a few tries.

Some card draw wouldn't hurt, I'd replace a few Swamps with Barren Moor. There are other instants too that give deathtouch and Bladebrand also draws you a card. A creature I'd definitely check out is Bone Picker.

Cranial Plating is actually banned in Pauper. Always a good idea to check out the banlist before playing a new deck.

The mana value/converted mana cost of Bone Picker is always 4, even if cost reductions apply. Only spells with an X in their cost have variable mana value.

Hi,

When you have Bone Picker in the graveyard, a creature died and you want to cast bone picker with Lurrus of the Dream-Den from the graveyard, does it have the mana cost reduction and become a legal target? Or is the CMC always 4?

Hi tearrow,you can use Spark Harvest instead of Bone Splinters . What do you think about Bastion of Remembrance ? you have one soldier for sacrifice and an another "blood artist's effect". Another cards that you can use are Perilous Myr , Poison-Tip Archer , Bone Picker , Butcher Ghoul .

3> Ahhh I've been wanting to play with Obosh, the Preypiercer and Angrath's Marauders - glad you found a spot for them. While you're at it, you could also consider other "damage doublers" such as Wound Reflection and Fiendish Duo. I've thought about a Vial-Smasher deck with a White partner just to add Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.

3> I see you enjoy big monsters and X-spells here. Oh to be young again... but seriously, this seems like a good deck to play them in as you would be rewarded. Instants are your friend, as you can Smash Vials on everyone's turn! No Comet Storm?

3> I would be worried about Vial-Smasher getting nuked from orbit as soon as your turn passes and it's no longer indestructible. You'll find Heroic Intervention and Slippery Bogbonder will help with targeted Exile removal. You already have Destroy and Sacrifice covered I see.

3> I see some cost-reduced and commander-free spells in there, but you have a limited suite. While doing research for my thoughts on Vial-Smasher, I found the following might be helpful - list is just copy/paste, so it will include some White and/or Blue cards:
