This looks pretty cool, weird to see a A.I. generated deck. That Scute Mob seems of though, as you basically don't get to use its ability here. Might I suggest Carnifex Demon as a replacement? I don't know if it's usually included in Volrath, but if not, it definitely should be.

TypicalTimmy I would run Carnifex Demon in Saiam and laugh maniacally.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed isn't used for the lord effect. It is used for the undying. It is a combo piece. Two combos are explained in the deck description and then it also goes infinite with a sacrifice outlet and Carnifex Demon or a sacrifice outlet, Ivy Lane Denizen, and Soul Snuffers.

Mortlocke on New hubs to be added

Hello legendofa,

I propose a new hub to be added: Phyrexian. During Modern Horizons 2, 225 creatures were retconned into having the Phyrexian creature subtype to join Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider . Additionally, there were a smattering of Enchantments, Artifacts and etc that ether have the Phyrexian subtype or create creature tokens that do. Thanks to this retcon I now have a deck that has a Phyrexian tribal theme. For your reference, below is a full list of spells that were affected by WotC's Phyrexian errata.

Just removed Golgari Charm for Beledros Witherbloom

I do like Carnifex Demon in Hapatra and I use to run it but this deck only needs two 1/1 creatures to combo off and i believe there's cheaper way to do so but it's in my sideboard card for sure! Maybe with Beledros in, it can be a power engine, would need to test it! Thanks for the comment!

I play alot of Hapatra since 2017, and I'm honestly shocked nobody has referenced Carnifex Demon on this yet. I understand it can kill hapatra as well, but Ivy Lane Denizen (Don't forget the snakes are green) and other cards are well worth getting a snake for all active players especially with Nest of Scarabs or Flourishing Defenses and in a game with more than two players. It's a crazy card that synergizes with practically anything on here.

Orange+: Thank you for the kudos.

The Minus counter theme is something that grew while going through my collection. I do realize that Ifnir and Carnifex Demon don't target, and that actually is the reason I included them. The deck has two cards that can steal opposing creatures. The first one is Grave Betrayal, which is just ridiculously powerful, but also costs seven mana. The second one is Necroskitter. If I were to target a creature which e.g. Cauldron of Souls, it would die before getting the counter, so Necroskitter wouldn't trigger. The demons can spread the minus counters without targeting, so the next targetting ability will give me control over them. A thing that seems very interesting in this regard is that proliferate doesn't target. I don't yet know what to make of this, but I'm pretty sure there is a way to abuse this...

The auras are meant to be used just as you said. They can protect my creatures when I attach them without an active Horobi. Swiftfoot Boots are especially important here. Protecting either K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth or Magus of the Coffers is crucial. Unhallowed Pact and Unholy Indenture habe a special little place in that regard: They can simply be protection, but enchanting an opposing creature with either before putting out Horobi is another way to steal them.

There are overall three spells like that: Bone Harvest, Forever Young, and Gravepurge. They are somewhat of a combo with Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Bolas's Citadel. Fill my grave with lots of creatures, control a Citadel and have a Merchant in hand or graveyard. Cast one of the three recursion spells, put all the creatures on top (If Gary is in the Grave, put him on the bottom of the creature pile). Cast all the creatures with Citadel, then cast Gary into a crowded board and drain an obscene amount of life. When we have enough mana, Death Denied or Reaping the Graves can do a similar thing.

There is one find in particular that I really like in the deck: I've always wanted a reason to play Skeletal Wurm. Horobi is propably the only deck that can make use of it, and it plus the not so small number of other activated abilities is the reason I included Necrotic Ooze. This can be a very powerful creature that can protect itself from Horobi's influence.

IzmAYAYA That is a large reason why my creatures deal with counters themselves. If I were to go against a deck with little to no creatures or those creatures have protection, I want to still have a value engine going on. Originally, I did not have that be the case. There are still cards like Black Sun's Zenith, Carnifex Demon, and Midnight Banshee that don't care about targeting.
