An attempt to build a silumgar control deck.

The basic idea is that the victory conditions of this deck are:

1. Keeping the opponents board clear of creatures - to this effect the likes of Silumgar Assassin, Silumgar Sorcerer and Foul-Tone Invocation are featured in this deck

2. Necromaster Dragon for large amounts of flying damage and Zombie token generation

3. Deathbringer Regent can completely clear the board if it is not in my favour, a follow up with Gravepurge can then allow me to restore my side of the board.

Various exploit creatures have been added for utility and control. Notably Profaner of the dead provides protection against tokens, large monsters and can clear the opponent's board. Protection against non creature spells is provided by Cancel.

Each exploit card can also be used in combination with Gravepurge or Foul Renewal to counter threats such as Pacifism which can neutralise Necromaster Dragon or Archfiend of Depravity.

By taking both Gravepurge and Foul Renewal I have more flexibility in returning creatures from the graveyard. For example Gravepurge can be used to revive exploited creatures or creatures with exploit to reuse their effects.

Meanwhile Foul Renewal can be used to revive a specific creature such as Archfiend of Depravity to restore a win condition and providing the chance to destroy or weaken a powerful enemy creature.

The addition of Corpseweft adds an extra way in which to utilise dead creatures by exiling them to create big Zombie Horror tokens to deal with big enemy creatures which have survived without being destroyed by removal effects.
