Drowned

Creature — Zombie

: Regenerate Drowned.

Maybe Forgotten Creation, Minds Aglow, Carrion Feeder, Graf Harvest, Ruinous Path, Open the Graves and Phylactery Lich (you have very few artifacts)?

You really don't have many great blockers. Skeletal Changeling and Drowned come out cheap and can chump block over and over.

I notice you have a ton of ETB's so a little more graveyard recursion would be good. Palace Siege, Victimize.

Thanks for your advice Austin_Smith_of_Cards, I'm going to try out these changes:

4x Drowned -> 4x Restless Dead

1x Bone Picker -> 1x Skeletal Wurm

1x Gorgon Flail -> 1x Skeletal Wurm

1x Island -> 1x Portent

Skeletal Vampire looks fun and cheap, I might spring for one.

I thought the same thing when I pulled Portent out of my jank box, had never seen this card before, but it seems like a pretty solid stand-in for Ponder. I've found a couple more (total of 3), but not sure what else to cut if anything.

If you want to go with more of the skeleton theme, I highly suggest including Restless Dead over Drowned since the latter is a Zombie and not a Skeleton.

Portent seems like an interesting take on a Ponder variant that would be useful for early topdeck manipulation; crucial for control.

Your ability to close out games seems kind of narrow, with Bone Picker as your only genuine wincon. I would add a couple fatties like the Skeletal Wurms, or if you want to acquire other cards, Skeletal Vampire and Champion of Stray Souls seem cool.

If you're looking for cut options, Gorgon Flail doesn't really make sense in this list, and you could probably go down to 23 lands.

Happy brewing!

More Icy Manipulator's? Do the Drowned really have to go? Do I want Sanitarium Skeleton as a 1 drop for a second turn Kjeldoran Dead + Bone Picker even though it's pretty garbagey?

Gavony Unhallowed + Eternal Thirst

Vampiric Link = better than death touch defense - creature can attack OTHER opponents, damage them and heal us (or attack us and immediately heal us).

Butcher Ghoul

Gurmag Angler or Gray Merchant of Asphodel + Undying Evil

Gempalm Polluter + Cemetery Recruitment = better cycling than Lance Armstrong

Pit Trap = Uncommon

There are a couple "exile card X in graveyard, get a 2/2 zombie" cards

Maybe splash a little blue for counters or some blue zombies like Armored Skaab Drowned or Zombie Outlander

My first deck is all extort white with life gain. Most of my creatures have big bottoms so they can withstand Pestilence plus there is some exile removal.
