Created this deck in MTG Arena to play around with the deathtouch mechanic. Mainly playing best of ones so no sideboard yet for this deck.

Been playing quite some games with this lately and it does have the potential to provide a nice board state early on. The doomed dissenters and barrier of bones can deal with some early aggro. And once the death barons come out the archers turn into ping yer dead cards if they touch the board.

I'm currently using the Josu as a high-end go wide with zombies finisher. Or can be played without the kicker to get a turn 4 beefy zombie out. The skeletons can be used to chomp and then returned to the field. They are also nice targets for Whisper, same goes for the dissenters.

Murders (Might replace them with cast down's) and ravenous chupacabra's can deal with stuff that my creatures can't touch.

One obvious weakness is the limited defense against flyers. Eliminated death baron's are in issue too but there are means to get them back in the field.

Created this deck for fun and I felt like doing something with deathtouch ability, it is by no means meant as a competitive deck. Please feel free to provide any comments or suggestions for improvement.
