AntiRivet on Immortal Conquest - Elenda, EDH

Lucalo4, it's honestly just because of some of my land choices and Mana Crypt; take it out and swap it with a land or some form of rock, possibly. There are a few alternatives, but I like taking out Scrubland and Marsh Flats and putting in Temple of Silence and Evolving Wilds. You could swap Ancient Tomb with Temple of the False God, but you lose the advantage of utilizing some of that sweet life gain to quick effect. Phyrexian Tower could be swapped with something like, Miren, the Moaning Well or some other sacrifice land, though I never seem to run a black deck without Phyrexian around.

Regarding non-mana things, you could possibly remove Phyrexian Altar, but that reduces the redundancy you'd have with Grave Titan + Nim Deathmantle . Bitterblossom is a very pricey card, but you could just run like Ophiomancer. It doesn't dodge creature removal and it's not as good, but it gets the job done and it's another body. Holy crap, Vampiric Tutor is expensive, I didn't even notice that. If you're willing to lose the "anything" clause as well as the element of surprise, Enlightened Tutor perhaps?

So those are the big money changes I can definitely see. I hope this helps you out. The deck's been pretty fun and it's got a surprisingly high win rate in my playgroup.

A few thematic + budget additions to consider:

  • Fatestitcher - Untap Grimgrin.
  • Graveborn Muse - Surprisingly fantastic card draw.
  • Vengeful Dead - Combos with with Grim, Crawler & Rooftop FTW.
  • Call to the Grave - Thematic removal!
  • Dictate of Erebos - A less $ Grave Pact that hits opponents only (handy in 2 headed giant etc). With all the sacrificing and recursion going on, you'll reap the benefits.
  • Grave Betrayal - A bit silly and expensive to cast, but it's a scary threat all the same.
  • Ever After - Such recursion, such flavour.
  • Ashnod's Altar - If you're wanting to go down the combo route with Grave Titan + Nim Deathmantle , get the daddy of sac outlets in here.
  • The deck already looks decent + fun, hopefully these ideas help a little. Good luck brewing!
