A couple changes and some questions... —July 20, 2018

Any thoughts on Piranha Marsh, Dash Hopes, and Vendetta?

Supernatural Stamina seems like it might be a weaker version of Undying Evil since evil gives it the boost of a permanent +1/+1 but idk. Maybe you prefer the +2 of Stamina for pushing for game type purposes?

Yeah, I just liked the +2, figured it might be able to let me say "gotcha" to someone who thought they were out of lethal range. Idk if that situation comes up very often though, do you think Undying Evil is better?

Undying Evil is marginally better because the boost/pump is permanent.

The other plus side is that if your creature is say . . .hit by Disfigure and you Undying Evil it; it will return untapped unlike Stamina.

I would swap out a few lands for Dark Ritual, 48% of your cards are one drops, so you could probably have about 4 effective power turn one, and less dead draws in the late game

I just personally don't think Dark Ritual fits that well in this deck; I'd rather play fewer one-drops in the early game and have more mana in the later game to chain Gempalm Polluters with Ghoulcaller's Chant and Ghoulraiser than the opposite. Also, the deck is way less than 48% one drops :P

idk though, ill try it out and see if it's any better. Maybe play a couple if I don't like all four. Thanks for suggesting it :)

looks really similar to a deck that Jake Stiles piloted in his playing pauper series.

Zombies

a more aggressive version of Wail of the Nim would be Dry Spell cheaper and i doubt this deck cares about the regenerate clause

Actually, I included Wail of the Nim over something like Dry Spell because of the regenerate part... there are a lot of 1/1's, so I thought it would be kind of detrimental to kill them off like that, and maintaining a big board state is necessary for Gempalm Polluter and Shepherd of Rot to be as effective as possible. But idk, I'll try it.

I can see your logic, I guess when I think zombies I think of disposable creatures but i get that this decks still needs to swarm the board. Wail could be the right call

I think Soul Reap could be good in here. Also, although not a zombie, Smolder Initiate could be quite good in this build.

Hm, maybe. As for Smolder Initiate, I don't think it's worth playing any creatures that aren't zombies in the deck, and I'm pretty sure its ability is too slow to make up for the drop in consistency in the Shepherd of Rot/Gempalm Polluter gameplan. thx for commenting tho.

Suicide is never the answer. Except for WWII. That was a pretty good answer.

I like Supernatural Stamina better than Undying Evil because it means you get to sacrifice the creature several times.

Well, once a creature dies and comes back to life, it doesn't actually come back as the same creature (i.e. the creature that gained the "When this creature dies, return it to the battlefield" ability), it comes in as it would if you played it. So while it would be nice, you wouldn't be able to infinitely loop with it. I was actually recently thinking of replacing the Supernatural Staminas with more targeted removal since this deck needs to be fairly interactive in order to stay alive... if you draw a hand full of 1/1s and no payoff normal aggro decks tend to just run you over.
