Summary:

Going for a toolbox Meren build with golgari goodstuff and a strong engine. I've been trying to avoid infinite combos with this deck, but I have Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Blood Artist with another zombie as a backup win.

Updates

• Temple of Malady out for Haunted Mire (has forest and swamp types)

• Caustic Caterpillar out for Haywire Mite (upgrad)

• Mogis' Marauder out for Triarch Praetorian (trying a draw method, haven't used MM much)

---

• Grim Haruspex out for Guardian Project (better drawing, harder to remove)

• Forest out for Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth (have too many non-basics to not run this!)

• Thief of Blood out for Phyrexian Delver (less PW in meta now, more recursion is nice)

• Treasure Keeper out for Ophiomancer (TK is a bit of a pet card, but I really want to try Ophio to discourage people attacking me)

• Casualties of War out for Acidic Slime (repeatable, don't find myself using it much)

• Savra, Queen of the Golgari out for Dauthi Voidwalker (Savra wasn't working out at all, Dauthi seems amazing)

• Forest out for Undergrowth Stadium (mana fixing)

• Reclamation Sage out for Druid of Purification (costs one more mana, but gets me way more value)

• Forest out for Dryad Arbor (dryad arbor just super good in this deck, should have added it a while ago)

• Swamp out for Malakir Rebirth (excellent utility)

• Forest out for Bala Ged Recovery (see above)

• Viridian Emissary out for Volrath's Stronghold (Was a little low on my mana curve, and investing in a great reserved list card for this deck)

• Swamp out for Agadeem's Awakening (Nice to have a sweet spell in the back pocket)

• Fleshbag Marauder out for Culling Ritual (lots of small utility creatures in my meta, fleshbag is a rough loss but I want to try this out)

• Liliana, Heretical Healer out for Toxic Deluge (Liliana isn't the best for the deck, and Toxic Deluge is just really good)

• Priest of Titania out for Sylvan Scrying (Not enough elves to make this work well, and SS let's me get a land)

• Shaman of Forgotten Ways out for Vampiric Tutor (Pulled a vampiric, it's great so why not. I've only used Shaman like once, not worth the slot)

.

• Old Edits

• Geier Reach Sanitarium out for Dark Depths (not running thespian's stage, but it works with Vampire Hexmage and Thief of Blood

• Disciple of Bolas out for Thief of Blood (putting this back in to fight my planeswalker heavy meta)

• Grim Backwoods out for Casualties of War (Trying this golgari staple)

• Greater Good out for Massacre Girl (Rarely found myself using GG, and massacre girl seems like a great include to try)

• Rogue's Passage out for Mogis' Marauder (never used RP, and haste is cool with recurring finishers with a Living Death)

• Harvester of Souls out for Yawgmoth, Thran Physician (upgrade, more useful. just a couple games and I'm so happy with this switch)

• Underrealm Lich out for Deathrite Shaman (Didn't really find myself wanting to dig out the lich, but shaman has nice utility)

• Agent of Erebos out for Treasure Keeper (didn't need it much at all, trying to get more value with TK)

.

• Older Edits

• Swamp out for Demonic Tutor

• Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord out for Entomb

• Satyr Wayfinder out for Liliana, Heretical Healer (better. just better)

• Mycoloth out for Reclamation Sage (mycoloth is never there when I need him, and is often a turn too slow to get me tokens I need)

• Lord of Extinction out for Shaman of Forgotten Ways (there are other fatties I can sac to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, and shaman seems like it could get me some quick wins)

• Journey to Eternity out for Pattern of Rebirth (tutors better)

• Yahenni, Undying Partisan out for Carrion Feeder (cheaper sac outlet, zombie creature type for Gravecrawler)

• Gray Merchant of Asphodel out for Defense of the Heart (trying it out, should be amazing in the deck)

• Golgari Signet out for Devoted Druid (trying a different style of ramp)

• Awakening Zone out for Priest of Titania (need more ramp and AZ is too slow)

• Merciless Executioner out for Fleshbag Marauder (for the zombie creature type. supports Gravecrawler)

• Lurking Predators out for Gravecrawler (LP is good value, but doesn't guarantee what I need for a toolbox deck)

• Brutalizer Exarch out for Worldly Tutor (same ability that I use for 5 less mana)

• It that Betrays out for Finale of Devastation (Wincon for 12 mana instead of just a fatty if I grab CHB or PBI)
