1st Major Overhaul —April 19, 2016

Alright, first big change. I have decided to remove Maralen of the Mornsong, Ob Nixillis, Unshackled, Alms Beast, and False Cure. I have swapped in 4x Nantuko Husk for added zombie recursion chance with Gravecrawler and another sacrifice trigger with added damage. I also added 4x Killing Wave to help clear the board. I can sac my Gravecrawler and pay life for my other creatures which I should get most of it back via Blood Artist and Suture Priest. 2x Dictate of Erebos to make sure the board stays clear. I also took out one swamp and one plains, swapping in 2x Mutavault for flexibility on Gravecrawler recursion.

what about +2 Sanguine Bond and -2Gravecrawler so you can still have the whole life gain shinanigans but when you dont draw into a Tainted Remedy when you need it

Josh50, Swords to Plowshares is even better than Devour Flesh! Thanks for the great suggestion!

+1 for a great deck idea. Wish I could do it again for the title. LOL.

I think you may be missing something (unless I am) in your intended use for False Cure. It's a great card for the deck but will cease to function once you have Tainted Remedy in play. False Cure sets up an effect that triggers "whenever a player gains life". Tainted Remedy creates a replacement effect that says your opponents will never gain life. They lose life instead, so the gain never happens in the first place. At that point False Cure has only you to trigger on.

TheMadRocketeer You are correct in regards to False Cure being negated once Tainted Remedy is out. I put it in there more for redundancy and a back up if I didn't draw Tainted Remedy or my opponent destroyed it. Thanks for the +1!

Don't Step On The Broken Glass! It's modern, but it has a lot of stuff that could make this better.

Awesome name, +1I've created a similar deck low budget deck, you might get some inspiration from it.

4x Condemn4x Evolving Wilds4x Fiery Justice2x Forest4x Invigorate4x Kavu Predator2x Mountain4x Nomad Outpost4x Oust2x Plains4x Punishing Fire1x Swamp4x Swords to Plowshares4x Tainted Remedy1x Tainted Strike4x Terramorphic Expanse4x Night's whisper4x Wall of Shards

Nature's claim and reverent silence are great sideboard cards for these types of decks.If you're not limited in budget try grove of the burnwillows too.

Nikx +1 from me for your Life is Lost deck, nice twist with the green and red spells. I especially like Fiery Justice, but I'm just not willing to splash any other colors at this time. I will likely use that in one of my future decks though. Thanks for the suggestions and the +1!

Love Tainted Remedy decks, and this is a great build. +1 for sure. I personally run a playset of Swords to Plowshares and a couple Beacon of Immortality because with Tainted Remedy out, it one shots your opponent

bossstallion Thank you for the +1 and your suggestions. I looked through your decks, but did not see your Tainted Remedy deck. Would you mind posting it? I like your pauper pain and gain deck btw.

Wall of Shards seems like it would be awesome for this deck.

Definitely worth a +1 for the name. Any thoughts on the use of Zulaport Cutthroat? Kind of to double Blood Artist, more or less

Nice. Was wondering how Tainted Remedy would find its way into a shell. You should label it as budget, too. Also, political humor +1 A pauper deck I've been enjoying lately: YUUUUUUGE EXPLOSION

Gunna put this here again since you decided to instead stay in an echochamber of noobs. Mark decks casual if you dont know what Legacy is pls

Pokemaster325 my point stands.

triproberts12 says... #24

Nah, I've been playing on and off for over a decade and approve of this deck, so you don't get to turn your nose up at an "echochamber of noobs" and expect respect. If you have a $5,000 OP deck, good for you, but buying in doesn't make you the boss :D

Pokemaster325 and triproberts12, thank you for your support, I appreciate it! When trolls like QuietMyth say stuff like that, I tend to just ignore it. Especially when their decks are lowly scored and quite frankly, nothing that amazing. People like ArchFline I respect their opinions since they have proven they are consistently pumping out good decks and don't mind helping others out. So basically, you can kiss my you know what QuietMyth.
