Extractor Demon

Creature — Demon

Flying

Whenever another creature leaves the battlefield, you may have target player put the top two cards of their library into their graveyard.

Unearth (: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield. Unearth only as a sorcery.)

Extractor Demon seems especially useful with Ephemerate , since blinking your stuff does trigger the milling. It basically only costs 4 to get a flying 5/5 with haste and vigilance because you'll attack with it, and blink it after combat. Yeah that is good enough for modern. Run four copies.

Except for Anathemancer , all those cards you mentioned have mono-black unearth costs. You might be able to make it two-color black and white.

At first I was just thinking about I could I do to not just use Unearth straight, as you said. However, I slowly started to think about Ephemerate and it seems like a great ideia! I wouldn't even change the core ideia of the deck.

Right now, I'm thinking about losing some of the raw power by cutting things like Hell's Thunder and Sedraxis Specter and maybe go the more controlling side, with things like Rotting Rats for hand control, Extractor Demon as maybe a one or two of since unearth kinda combos with his ability to mill which could allow me to fuel my graveyard, First-Sphere Gargantua for repeatable card draw, Grixis Slavedriver for token generation and, of course, Anathemancer , altough the later I think is more suitable for the sideboard.

Throughout the day I'll be thinking about how to make a Mardu overhaul to this deck.

Thanks for the awesome tips, Funkydiscogod!

Nice list, should be fun for casual play. I'd look at mechanics like morbid Tragic Slip , Scavenge Slitherhead , unearth Extractor Demon , and 'classic' sacrifice effect creatures like Spore Frog or Bottle Gnomes / Brindle Boar . Stag is currently your only way to deal with flying creatures, so something like Aerie Ouphes would likely help.

Past that, relax and build something to be fun with your playgroup. Good casual games aren't about consistancy (uneless its consistant fun), they are about creating fun memories and flashing in Gluttonous Slime in response to living end.

I don't think many things benefit from other things being specifically exile often. There is the wording "whenever X leaves play" instead of "dies," "destroyed," or "put into the graveyard."

Things I can think of with this are Twilight Drover , Extractor Demon , Arcane Artisan , Vela the Night-Clad , Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor and a few more.

Mostly, they seem to not care where they end up but rather that they are no longer present on the battlefield. There are more leave play effects but they are more or less Oblivion Ring effects and whatnot or things like Varchild and Arcane Artisan where it just catches all things in case you were to lose that creature in another manner.

I can't help but feel Purgatory should be mentioned despite not being what you're really asking for.

Nice deck!

I feel like you should be running the full playset of Pack Rat .

I’m also not sure Extractor Demon is worth running, and I think you need more lands (maybe 23?)

schulle on Meren graveyard shenanigans

Hey there, I have some suggestions first would be Plaguecrafter you already have two similar effects but the control over the board is always welcome,because it is hard to outgrind Meren when she does her thing.

As Greg said try, to get your hands on as many 1 drop manadorks as you can,so you can speed up your engine because you will draw hate as Meren fast and if you are heavily disrupted in the early stages of the game it can get tricky to get a foothold on The board later on (sidenote Exploration and Burgeoning may also help).

I also enjoy Birthing Pod in my Meren deck as a reapeatable tutor/saccoutlet it can help to get the creatures you need in some situations.

Also maybe add 1-2 additional artifact/enchantment removal spells in case something like Torpor Orb hits the field which would screw you up otherwise.

Last as mentioned try to get your hands on a Viscera Seer free saccoutlets are very powerful in your deck and the cheaper they are the better they become, Phyrexian Tower would also be a major upgrade to your manabase.

Suggestions to cut: Winding Constrictor yes you have a +1counter subtheme but the creatures are either removed if they get too big or not online at all which makes this card more or less a vanillacreature

Wall of Blossoms :it's often used as a filler to thin your deck a little but you would profit more from a simple manadork

Korozda Guildmage effects are too expensive in my opinion would fit way better in something like Ghave, Guru of Spores as your not the typical go wide deck

Eater of Hope to expensive for a a evasive beater and you could have better saccoutlets if you want a scary creature for The top of your curve Terastodon would be better in my opinion or Attrition for the removalaspect

Extractor Demon would be fin if you had more cards to reanimate creatures of The opponent but the mill alone isn't Wörth it mostly

Vulturous Zombie ...meh

Hope some of these suggestions help with The deck.

If you want to fix it, you'll have to set the "Exclude Colors" section to exclude everything but red and black. I've had this issue before with some of my decks.

As for the deck itself, I'd consider throwing in a lot more stuff that triggers when a creature dies. If you want a little inspiration, I have a Murder King deck of my own you might like.

At the very least, I'd recommend Extractor Demon , Pitiless Plunderer , and Revel in Riches . Plunderer in particular brings a lot of utility to an aristocrats deck like this.
