1 vs 1 Match — April 15, 2013

Played a 1 vs 1 match (non-french rules) against a Sheoldred, Whispering One deck. Here are some of the highlights of the match: He got to 56 life through attacking with Wurmcoil Engine and bringing it back after death and he brought me to 12. He managed to get an It That Betrays in the yard through Corpse Connoisseur and then he casted Living Death . I killed it with Putrefy . Then he got It That Betrays back with Animate Dead and I tutored for Shriekmaw with my Survival of the Fittest and used it's evoke cost to kill it. He played Necromancy on It That Betrays and I tutored for Phyrexian Delver with Survival of the Fittest and then brought back the Shriekmaw to kill it once again. (at this point I was at 6 life) Next he cast Reanimate targeting It That Betrays and I had nothing to do. He attacked with It That Betrays and I sacrificed my Survival of the Fittest and Witchbane Orb . Next turn I used Sylvan Library to draw a Dread Return which was used on Eternal Witness to bring back Putrefy to kill It That Betrays again. At this point I had Crucible of Worlds in play so I kept using Strip Mine to lower his land count. Eventually I attacked with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord enough times to kill him with commander damage.

More changes — Feb. 21, 2013

I made a lot more changes and I believe the deck is just about complete, however I might change some cards once Dragon's Maze brings some new Golgari cards to the table.

Needs more dredge.

Here is the thing, the aren't that many dredge cards that are all that worth it. Dredge helps the deck, but if the card itself is weak then I am wasting my draws just to mill myself which generally isn't going to help much. I originally had Golgari Thug in the deck, but he was just too weak on his own to really be worth it.

Honestly I will agree with that this deck needs more cards that get cards in the graveyard. I also think this deck needs creatures that can recur themselves. While both of those things can be solved by adding dredge cards, I just don't think there any dredge cards are worth it in the deck. I will think of cards with similar roles to add though.
