Finalized Deck-List...ish? —July 19, 2015

So, having played this a lot recently, I think I'm more or less content with its current state. I would still add a Massacre Wurm or a Golgari Thug if I owned one, and the mana base could be improved a bit, but barring that, I think I'm happy with how it plays. It just has so many different ways to win, from unblockable strikes by a large Marang River Prowler enchanted with Nighthowler, to Wake the Dead for Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Sewer Nemesis, to Necrotic Ooze replicating Wall of Blood and Jodah's Avenger, to sacrificing Moldgraf Monstrosity during my upkeep for Laboratory Maniac with an empty library, to one memorable game where I controlled 72 zombies and successfully milled all remaining opponents to death by flash-reanimating Extractor Demon in response to a board wipe. And it's a heck of a lot of fun to play, especially in multiplayer.

Thank you, good sir - you will forever receive tribute in the form of 1/1 colorless non-flying spirits for your flattery ;)

Any further suggestions of cards to add, or combos with the current cards in the list, are still appreciated of course!

And I often play against a Mimeoplasm player, who keeps stealing my stuff from my hard-earned graveyard. Oh wait... XD

You should probably deal with that guy...

Daedalus19876 says... #4

Yeah, I should probably kill him first so he can't have my stuff.

I'll try that tomorrow ;)

Or, hypothetically, he and I could work together to do great things. Terrible things...but great.

1.) I feel like there is some RL connection here....

DOES THIS MEAN I GET TO HAVE TWO ARCH NEMESISES!?!

2.) I see that Harry Potter reference, and I love it.

NoviceMagician:

1) How absurd! XD yeah, he, forte8910, and I play at the same card shop. (Notice how, on Forte's Grimgrin deck, my comments are clearly absolutely unbiased and helpful #blatantlies)

1.5) MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THE ARCHNEMESIS PLAGUE IS SPREADING!!!!

2) (I put on my robes and wizard hat, and bow.)

1.) That's awesome. I love to see that kind of mushy shit here on T/O. XD

I SHALL DRAG YOU ALL DOWN TO THE FIRES OF OBLIVION! MUHAHAHAHA!

2.) I see that LotR reference, and I love it.

3.) This seems like a very organized and efficient way of talking.

4.) I call being the bad guy, you, forte8910, and Biffy12 can be the lame heroes.

2) "Robes and wizard hat" are also another reference, heh.3) Ain't it so?4) Pshaw, I'm going to be the Dragon! Team Evil 4evs. Perhaps I'll pick up a Redcloak to help with the image.

June 23, 2015 12:44 a.m.

2.).... Was it that one series that Rick Riordan wrote about magicians? Or is it Merlin? Or TES?

4.) Fine, we can all be villains. But! I have dibs on the giant robot and invisible car!

Bask in the glory of MY INVISIBLE-CAR DRIVING GIANT ROBOT! BASK IN IT!

Maybe I'll get the spacing right this time:

2) "Robes and wizard hat" are also another reference, heh.

3) Ain't it so?

4) Pshaw, I'm going to be the Dragon! Team Evil 4evs. Perhaps I'll pick up a Redcloak to help with the image.

2) Google the phrase. Or don't, if you want to avoid a Horrifying Revelation.

4) As long as I get the death ray, I'm good.

June 23, 2015 12:55 a.m.

2.) I still don't know what that is a reference to... >_<

EDIt- Wow, I was ninjaed

You should consider getting a card or two to give yourself hexproof it is a great way to stop most graveyard wipes the cards that only target a few cards at a time still get through but most of the cards that remove an entire graveyard target a single player

July 4, 2015 2:27 a.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #19

I will consider Witchbane Orb to do that, but the biggest problem cards I have encountered are usually Withered Wretch, Scavenging Ooze, and Rest in Peace. Do you have any suggestions to counteract those?

July 4, 2015 10:16 a.m.

silverwolf888 says... #20

No unfortunately aside from the basic removal after they have done damage to your graveyard the only other option for those is a counterspell. rest in peace is one of the few entire grave wipes that doesn't target and the defenses for the other two would do more harm than good in this deck

Love the deck, the reference, and the flavorful commentary. XD +1

Daedalus19876 says... #22

SirFowler: thank you! I assume you've noticed that I'm taking a distinct but similar spin with the custom commander deck haha. I could almost use my custom Sidisi in this deck and call it a day XD

I really should update the description though...any suggestions for new additions? :)

July 13, 2015 1:04 a.m.

I have a suggestion. Learn how to use this.

SirFowler says... #24

Well, I know Tasigur, the Golden Fang would do well in here, but I'm not sure how devious you want to be. I like Rot Farm Skeleton because it can recur itself while adding to your collection. You could add more recursion like Mnemonic Wall to get back your stuff. I also thought you would've had more dredge cards like Stinkweed Imp, Golgari Thug, and Darkblast, but too much dredge can be pretty devious and hated on.

Anyway, I digress. Hope these help. :)

Daedalus19876 says... #25

SirFowler: Stinkweed Imp is already in there, and he's the MVP :)

Tasigur was in some of the earlier drafts, but he worked very poorly :( which I did not expect, honestly. My graveyard was so large that my opponents could always find something useless to give back - once someone gave me Wonder, which lost me the game.

I also had Darkblast in my first version of the deck. It just didn't do enough to justify its inclusion, so I cut it :(

However, if I could find a copy of Golgari Thug anywhere, I'd include it with no hesitation whatsoever haha!

Rot Farm Skeleton was in the deck until my most recent update, and I'm still deciding whether to put it back, and if so what to cut...

I'll consider Mnemonic Wall! It would allow me to get back Living Death, which is my near-MVP. Or Wake the Dead, which is too fun to do just once.

(And NoviceMagician, I will try to learn to do spoilers bleh)
