I have replaced Vulturous Zombie with Archfiend of Depravity, since the latter creature better fits the theme of this deck.

I have replaced Massacre Wurm with Vein Ripper, since the latter creature is generally superior to the former.

I also have replaced Vulturous Zombie with Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, since Korvold is definitely the superior creature, in this case, and I understand that he would be a better general for this deck than would Kresh, but I originally built this deck when EDH was still a new format, and options for generals were limited, so I deliberately chose generals from the Alara block for my first five shard/arc-colored EDH decks, and I wish to remain committed to that idea.

Ah, my apologies. Looks like I misread the post xD

Korvold should be solid in the deck too then. I'd look at things that don't necessarily push Kresh or may be harder to utilize. Cards like Dread has 3 black pips for example. That can be rough in a three color deck. Vulturous Zombie also a good one for replacing. Seedborn Muse is a card I've been questioning in my own deck when I include it. A number of times I've been like 'oh yeah, good card auto-include' then play it and it doesn't do anything because I'm not heavy on instants nor tapping creatures for effects... Worth re-considering it here too. Hope that's more helpful, totally get liking "bad" commanders.

DrukenReaps, I was actually considering Korvold as a replacement for Vulturous Zombie; I know that Korvold would be far better as the general of this deck than would be Kresh, but I built my first five shard-colored decks when EDH was still a new format, and I consciously and deliberately chose creatures from the Alara block as the general for each deck, and I wish to remain co9mmitted to that decision, however irrational it may be.

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?

I have replaced Vulturous Zombie with Ghave, Guru of Spores, because, while the zombie was nice, it was merely a flying beater, while Ghave far better fits the theme of this deck.

Gidgetimer, yes, you are correct, and I admit that I was being overly-dramatic, so I am very sorry about that.

As for the subject, I have decided to replace Vulturous Zombie with Ghave, Guru of Spores, since the zombie was merely a flying beater, while Ghave far better fits the theme of the deck.

I could also remove Sigarda, Host of Herons from that deck, which I would rather not do, but Vulturous Zombie actually has better synergy with the deck's theme, and, as much as I am fond of Sigarda, this deck's emphasis on token generation and creature reanimation should mean that any attempts by my opponents to force me to sacrifice my creatures should not hurt me, too much.
