Just got back into MTG after a couple years. I had to retire because my sister burned my collection. She stated that it WAS THE DEVIL. So I thought it would be good to get back in for EDH because I only had to buy one copy of each card. If any suggestions for cards I don't really like to spend over 5 dollars for card but I will think about it if it is good enough.
So I have been playing this deck for a little over two months now. I really like it but it aggros so hard.
-
Arcane Lighthouse
because screw shroud and hexproof on my opponent's stuff
-Ghost Quarter kill other people's land or target one of mine and pick the other mana that I could desperately need.
-Bojuka Bog just don't play it on me
-
Myriad Landscape
because I need land that fetches me more land
-1
Viridian Emissary
+1 Farhaven Elf because Viridian Emissary was only good if I could sac him. I'll pay 1 more mana for a sure thing.
-1
Primal Growth
+1
Fertilid
because I can abuse Fertilid more often.
-1 Thief of Blood +1 Vampire Hexmage I might want some of my counters. Hexmage can snipe walkers or just off herself to give me an experience counter and First Strike is nice.
-1
Scourge of Nel Toth
+1 Grave Titan GT is a fatty that gives me two Zom tokens, plus with Ashnod's Altar and Nim Deathmantle it can go infinite. (
Scourge of Nel Toth
might find his way back in later some how).
-1
Viridian Zealot
+1 Caustic Caterpillar same effect less rare and less mana...
-1 Corpse Churn +1 Sudden Spoiling I do not see much if any much graveyard hate. Split second and nullifing my opponents creatures is great.
-1 Lotleth Troll I couldn't ever abuse him. I am always too scare to drop my fatties just incase they got exiled.
-1
Blisterpod
+1 Crypt Ghast better card needs something to take out
-1 Oblivion Sower +1 Gray Merchant of Asphodel I didn't have very many wincons so I needed something to do damage. The wording of Oblivion Sower doesn't synergize with this deck, if it was a etb effect it would of stayed in.
-1 Wall of Blossoms +1
Catacomb Sifter
yeah drawing cards are nice but that's all Wall of Blossoms was. Catacomb Sifter is great because it works with tokens and it spawns a
Eldrazi Scion
token as well when it enters.
+1 Dread Return great card plus it has flashback nothing to hate on here
+Buried Alive - Throw up to three creatures in the grave to set up combo... Yes Please.. Holo was only 20 cents more yes to that too
+Oblivion Sower I am always on the fence with this card... My group is tending to run layline of the void a lot now so this could net more more than the 4. I was playing against a Damima, sage of stone dredge deck and it netted me 8 lands. So for now it will be main'd
+Blooming Marsh - pulled this, great golgari land -
Golgari Guildgate
sorry but B M is a better card.
+Altar of Dementia - finally pulled the trigger on grabbing this artifact, mil me or an opponent, sac engine
+Viscera Seer scry'ing is almost as good as drawing. A sac Engine as well. -
Catacomb Sifter
wasn't quite as good. Might find his way back in at a later time.
+
See the Unwritten
WOAH! this can lead to huge plays, there is almost always a creature with power of 4 or more on my field mil 8 put 1 to 2 creatures on to the field. - Mulch mulch under performed and not up to standards compared. Yes
See the Unwritten
has a much higher CMC but it deserves it compared to Mulch.
Finally added a Meren staple Blood Artist great win con with loop or grind them down
+Westvale Abbey
I don't really know how I feel about this card... Yeah its great in standard but is it up to snuff in EDH well i'll find out soon enough. It's a big mana soak for a 9/7
+Phyrexian Arena found one for $2 couldn't resist. Sometimes I need cards when smothing Abomination isn't on the field.
+Solemn Simulacrum Sad Robot is back in. Better than
Fertilid
by 1 for one land, yeah
Fertilid
can give me more lands in the long run but without Ob Nixilis, Unshackled I'll take sad robot.
+Verdurous Gearhulk I pulled it out of a pack my wife picked out, so I put it in. I had to make a three way trade to get in. I decided it was better than Nissa, Voice of Zendikar for counters, then decided Nissa was better than Awakening Zone for tokens. So Awakening Zone out.
Well I got the rest of the kaladesh cards that I wanted to try out.
-1 Oblivion Sower +1 Gonti, Lord of Luxury I wanted to try him out, he isn't a beater like OS but I can get into a players head and remove cards face down until I want to play them. It is an ETB trigger so meren can repeat it and abuse it, which OS is not.
-1
Korozda Guildmage
+1 Panharmonicon I hardly ever used his abilities and it would be better if he made plant tokens and not sapplings for synergy with Avenger. Pan is great and really synergizes with most of the deck.
-1 Bloodspore Thrinax +1
Demon of Dark Schemes
BST is good in theory but I never went to tutor for it. I am going to try a new reanimate engine on a flying stick... I'll see how it goes.
