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

more cards that I think you should consider:
Rite of Consumption, Scarland Thrinax, Spark Elemental, Tymaret, the Murder King, Uktabi Drake, Viscera Seer, Wild Cantor, Barrage of Expendables, Smothering Abomination, Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist, Painful Truths
