Thanks man, really love Essence Harvest, but what do i take out?

Terrus Wurm is probably a good card to replace :)

Definitely, Terrus Wurm can be cut. Also, 4x card:Death's Presence is a lot. It will end up clogging your hand.

Also, it looks like you are putting a lot of energy into mana ramping via Farseek etc, which I think is good. Grisly Salvage is a version of this which works extremely well with Golgari (particularly Deathrite Shaman ).

I've been playing a Golgari deck in standard since September. You can see it here: deck:golgari-air-attack

Mulch too is good.

Sorry about the slow response everyone! Ok, so I was reading the suggestions, and it seems like everyone is suggesting i do the traditional Golgari dance and mill myself while i scavenge everything. See this deck like having things die on the battlefield, not just hitting the graveyard. So the Mulch, Grisly Salvage, and Deathrite Shaman would work normally, but this needs things to see things die. Also hence the Grave Betrayal. Sooooo, I'm probably going to add this deck to the counters hub. But thanks for the help anyways!

On a side note, with the cards I currently have from packs, not including shock lands, the deck is only $10!

What about a couple Lotleth Troll? I know it makes creatures skip the battlefield part but if he is boosted up, with trample, cheap regenerate ability and all for only a swamp and forest, he is a great card to have.

I was actually thinking about making a side board for this deck because it is SUPER SLOW but SUPER FUN. But yes, if I were going to actually play this deck in a competitive setting, it would look much different.

I will make a side board for cards i will use if i decide to play this a FNM.

If you use Lotleth Troll, you could run a copy of Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord for the combo and maybe a Jarad's Orders. Jarad's Orders, in this deck, is almost like flashback Increasing Ambition and it's won me quite a few games with my own Golgari deck.

I'd take 1 Swamp out and add another Forest, since your deck is slightly more on the forest side.

One of my friends plays with a similar concept to this and uses Arbor Elf over Farseek . It does pretty well as a 1st turn mana ramp and he loves making people cry with Increasing Savagery and Corpsejack Menace on a Vampire Nighthawk .
