Sideboard


Aggressive suicide combo deck. Suggestions welcomed!

Tactics is very simple. The more your graveyard becomes, the more power you get.

Basic combo is primitive: Varolz, the Scar-Striped + Death's Shadow in graveyard. You can put counters on Birds of Paradise or on the Lotleth Troll, or even on Uktabi Drake .

There is another tactics which includes Nighthowler and one of the creatures in play. Varolz, the Scar-Striped is the main card, providing you to win

Death's Shadow is supporting card for Varolz. Very rare one can play it from hand if life is small.

Lotleth Troll is a good creature to play. It has trample and regeneration. And also it helps you to make your graveyard fat. The main problem with it connected with the cards like Path to Exile. So here are other cards to make missing of troll not fatal.

Nighthowler is perfect to be attached to Birds of Paradise or Uktabi Drake . Even if that creature dies, Nighthowler becomes creature itself, getting stronger as your graveyard grows.

Stinkweed Imp is source of dredge, making Nighthowler stronger and helping to Death's Shadow to fall into grave. Also sometimes it looks good onto the battlefield to block mighty creatures.

Golgari Grave-Troll - now re-banned - is also excellent source of dredge. It's better than Stinkweed Imp' cause brings +1 card to graveyard. And whatever it is a huge creature in play that dies hard and may punch strong.

Grisly Salvage can bring you a necessary land or creature during opponent's turn. Also there are 4 new cards in your graveyard!

Street Wraith allows you to peek Birds of Paradise at the beginning of the game without mulligan. Also you can draw additional dredge with it.

Viscera Dragger has cycling, but its advantage is in the second ability - unearth. So Viscera Dragger may seldom go to fight, accepting counters, or being buffed.

Become Immense is card for the case of lots of blockers. With it even Birds of Paradise becomes 6/7 attacking monster.

Shriekmaw is necessary to kill some strong creatures. It's useful also cause Nighthowler gets +2/+2 as evoke was played.

Silhana Ledgewalker is card against none-massive removal. And is hard to be blocked.

Slippery Bogle was put here to provide more hexproof-creatures - plus to Silhana Ledgewalker. It is alone and I consider better it exists than not. It's good on battlefield and awesome in graveyard. So...

Dryad Arbor is the most fanny card here. If it is in play, it gives green mana, may attack or block. Being in graveyard it can be scavenged for 0 or feed Nighthowler. Quite useful thing.


Feature of this deck is complete neglect to your own life and library. You can either play combo or simple stomp opponent down with Lotleth Troll. It depends only on situation. And your choice :)

Thank goodness the new bann-list brought not only bad news. I cry 'bout Birthing Pod, Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time, but Golgari Grave-Troll re-banned fixes my mood for a bit.

So

-1 Stinkweed Imp

-1 Viscera Dragger

-1 Elves of Deep Shadow

-1 Nighthowler

+2 Golgari Grave-Troll

+1 Slippery Bogle

+1 Shriekmaw

Also I'm trying to find Abrupt Decay for this deck. It's quite hard, but because BG Varolz Dredge is my real deck to play tournaments, I present the actual, but not "ideal' decklist. Thanks for your tips!

And good day!
