Hey there guys and gals! Thanks for taking the time out to look over my deck today. I'm trying to make a fun kitchen table deck that can somewhat hold it's own against FNM decks. It doesnt have to win a GP, it just has to work and feel fun to play.
The base idea is combining my 2 favorite modern decks, Vengevine and Soulflayer.
First off, the pitchers. Chromanticore , Zetalpa, Primal Dawn , and Samut, Voice of Dissent are the main targets for SF, made more enjoyable by sometimes actually casting Chromanticore.
Lotleth Troll and Hazoret the Fervent are discard outlets that can sacked for SF. Geist of Saint Traft is a hexproof target that can be cast in a pinch, as well as Sylvan Caryatid which helps with mana.
Rhonas the Indomitable is a pet card that comes down easy and can hit hard and can be eaten by SF.
For deck milling I'm using Corpse Churn , Faithless Looting , and Grisly Salvage with Traverse the Ulvenwald to pull creatures from the deck.
Here's where I hit a snag though...
The deck kind of feels like a soulflayer shell with vengevine thrown in. Vengevine can be sacked to SF in a pinch, but i want to use it more like how it's supposed to be used. Enter, Stitcher's Supplier . I feel that this card would really help vengevine thrive in here. The 1 mana is awesome, coupled with the fact that it mills 6 cards, but where do I put it?? I'm having a hard time figuring that out.
Also, I see a lot of people lately using Drogskol Reaver in SF decks in place of Chromanticore . Is that double strike really worth it? Jadelight Ranger is another one I'm looking at, a 2/1 that explores twice that helps cycle through lands and possibly gets bigger, but that mana cost is kind of high for a card that wont help SF.
Give me options and opinions guys. Give me sideboard tips, cards to look for, and cards that I need to take out. Thanks guys!!
