DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep Vulturous Zombie …

1 month ago

I have a copy of Vulturous Zombie in these two EDH decks of mine, and it is a nice card, but I am wondering if I should keep in those decks, since I am not certain how well it fits the theme of each of those decks, as it is merely a flying beater, so I am seeking advice from the other users on this subject.

For my Kresh deck, I am contemplating replacing the zombie with Maarika, Brutal Gladiator, Scarland Thrinax, or Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, but each of those creatures has their own issues: Maarika forces opponents to sacrifice non-land, non-creature permanents, while that deck cares specifically about creatures dying; the thrinax is a free sacrifice outlet, but does not have much impact on the game overall; and Korvold is amazing, but I am not certain if that deck has a sufficient amount of token generation or recursion to constantly feed into his ability. Also, I am not certain what card could replace the zombie in my mimeoplasm deck, so I certainly would appreciate any suggestions that anyone here has to offer.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I keep Vulturous Zombie in these two decks, or should I replace it with another creature, and, if I should, with what creature should I replace it?

Wow, "Flesh Thresher" is a ... visceral epithet(; love the description too.

This is a powerful list! I especially love the reliable token production this deck has, because even if somebody casts Nevermore on Kresh, that just means your worst case is a combo-y token deck, which can still be excellent!

As for potential improvements, I notice that the majority of your sacrifice outlets require mana, which can be a problem when trying to go off with Kresh and power him up for a lethal Chandra's Ignition (which is already a little mana-intensive). Sure, you'll win if you randomly draw Ashnod's Altar, but I don't want to leave that up to chance, which is why I include redundancy like Scarland Thrinax and friends, so that I'm more or less guaranteed to have free instant-speed shenanigans. I would cut some less relevant cards like Predator Ooze, Vona's Hunger, Darksteel Plate, or Anger that are great in a vacuum but don't directly support the sacrifice theme.

I've looked over every uncommon ever printed and the only decent commanders are Scarland Thrinax, Sprouting Thrinax, and to a lesser extent a battlemage-like dude

There are no purely green creatures that do what you want, so you wouldn't be able to cast them without Green Sun's Zenith.

Scarland Thrinax

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher

Varolz, the Scar-Striped

There are a few more, but they require additional activation costs.
