Big Guys and ramp (2)


Mill cards and hopefully get a couple big guys out. Here's how it works:

Turn 1: Stitcher's Supplier and mill 3. Turn 2: Glowspore Shaman and mill 3. Kraul Harpooner is another 2 drop possibility.
Turn 3: Journey to Eternity   on anyone. The stitcher might be better because if it dies (or gets sacrificed), it mills 3 as it dies, and mills 3 more as it regenerates. If you're playing against flyers, put it on the Harpooner and they will not want to attack you. At this point you can attack if you want to put on some pressure or keep adding to your graveyard. Turn 4: Options start to open up based on draw, your graveyard population, and your opponent's responses. If it's already in hand, play Demon of Catastrophes and sacrifice whatever has the Journey to Eternity  .

If Journey to Eternity   transforms, it'll be hard to beat a graveyard full of Lotleth Giants, Doom Whisperers, and other sweet creatures. I added a 3rd Giant because that often turns into the win card when I can get it out with 10 creatures in my graveyard. Ritual of Soot does really well to clear out the board of smaller creatures while building up the graveyard.

I threw in the Plague Mare in the sideboard for those pesky goblins, soldiers, and rats. I threw in Rise from the Grave for when those control decks have one key creature I can steal in the graveyard. Still a few ideas I might play around with, but I'm liking where this is going.

Did pretty well except against a sultai control deck. 0-2, 2-0, and 2-0 for a total of 2-1. This deck is super fun to play. Those Ritual of Soots are really helping, but now I think there is too much removal. I also added Plaguecrafter as I think he is a solid removal and can help me mill or get my Journey to Eternity  Flip flipped. I might add one more Paguecrafter and move a Assassin's Trophy to the sideboard. Maybe add one more Demon of Catastrophies or another big guy to replace one more removal.
