Wight of Precinct Six —Nov. 21, 2018

Switched Dregscape Zombie with Wight of Precinct Six, far more useful!

Hi 5finga, thanks for your many suggestions. I don't really like Voracious Null nor Gutless Ghoul because their active abilities have an additional mana cost (even though that cost is perfectly balanced in the case of Gutless Ghoul). I also never understood the popularity of Twisted Abomination (paying 6 for a 5/3?? , ok it can regen, but... Maybe only if cycled and then Exhumed). Similar thought for Gavony Unhallowed, it costs too much and for this reason Carrion Feeder is better. Cemetery Recruitment is good, but it would be perfect for a , with its 2 drop cost is replaced by the better Ghoulcaller's Chant. Also, it couldn't combo with Nameless Inversion, because it explicitly says "creature card" and not only "zombie card" as the Chant does. On the other hand, Wight of Precinct Six may be perfect, I don't know how I missed it! Thank a lot for this last piece of advice! I know it's a long answer but I wanted to write down all my thoughts about these cards.

You're basically right about Voracious Null and so on... But I personally like Twisted Abomination for the swamp-cycle. Sometimes you need the extra swamp-land in the beginning. And the : regenerate -ability is rare in Zombie pauper. However, I am glad you liked Wight of Precinct Six.

I already know Mortuary Mire, but I never used it because the mana curve of the deck is all around the 1 drop mana cost, and having too much lands that come into play tapped is very risky for this kind of deck. It would anyway be a fine addition to the collection but I fear it would slow down the deck too much (and I don't think it would be good to switch the Barren Moors, I'll put it in the maybeboard anyway but I don't think I'll ever add it). I also knew the Grave Scrabbler combo (I suggested it too once), which is really good, also if you already have another scrabbler in the graveyard, but I don't really need it, and I wouldn't know what to remove: it's always the most annoying part in improving a deck, parting away from your beloved cards ='(

Have you thought about Gurmag Angler and Shepherd of Rot?

Hey Skjoldschoennemann (typing your name was quite difficult) thanks for your advice. Gurmag Angler is surely one of the best among big boys in pauper, but, it may sound stupid to you (because it is), I'm not playing it because it's too "mainstream", (everyone uses it where I go to play tournaments) and I prefere to focus on Gempalm Polluter and Carrion Feeder to deal damage. I already considered Shepherd of Rot, and I like it a lot, but I have no way to regain the lost life points (Gray Merchant of Asphodel is too late-game)

Well, you should only use Shepherd of Rot if it's to your advantage. If you're just a little bit ahead of life it can be game-winning, and sometimes your opponent just can't do anything about. One time, my opponent actually used Shepherd of Rot to bring us both to zero in response to me winning the game. Well maybe it's a sideboard card, but I think it's worth a shot.

I don't really know, maybe in some cases it would fit, but I don't think it would be a good switch. It isn't a side for a specified deck, either. I like it though, so I'll think about it
