Splinterfright variation using BUG.
Works like most Splinterfright decks: You want to put creatures in your grave so that you can get big dudes. If that doesn't seem to be working too well, Skaab Ruinator is the perfect Plan B since you can cast from the graveyard. While most decks you can get away with attacks first before dropping spells, doing all that you can to set up for stronger dudes is going to be more favorable before attacks.
COMBOS: Vengeful Pharaoh and Splinterfright have a pretty cool combo; get the Pharaoh in your yard as a buffer for any attackers you can't reach (as well as buy you some time) and put him back when Splinterfright's effect comes around at upkeep.
Reassembling Skeleton is in for Altar's Reap. You can pull him out then just sac him again to draw while keeping him in there. Biggest drawback is that it's a 2 draw for 4 mana. Shouldn't have to use it, but its there if you must.GREEN No Wreath of Geists due to it being an enchant. Had Viridian Emisarry for a little while, but was too slow for an already slow deck as well as being redundant with Mulch. Strangleroot Geist is left out for it's 2G cost in a 3color deck.
BLUE: Actually was just Black and Green until I saw another Splinterfright deck with the Skaabs. Only thing I wanted to splash in were the Screeching Skaabs and Ruinator.
BLACK: Had to put Black in with all of their self sacrifice cards as well as the Vengeful Pharaoh. Also leaves in room for removal spells if need be.
SIDEBOARD: Faces the same problem as Frites decks with Graveyard killing cards like Nihil. It's sloppy getting rid of Nihil but Naturalize works (also for O-Ring).Outwit is there for Surgical Extraction but could be replaced with other things (like Surgical Extraction...lol)The Phantasmal Image and Crypt Creeper are there as buffers for Frites.
OTHER: No Tracker's Instincts because I don't want creatures in my hand; I need them in my grave. If a creature I did want happened to fall into the grave I have more (30 creatures total). Altar's Reap helps with drawing the creatures I want as well and could be replaced by Tracker's Instincts if needed.
