Sideboard


Maybeboard


Main All very experimental at this point - looking for any suggestions (especially on the manabase and the sideboard)! Since Bridge from Below is now banned in Modern, I'm looking at another way, albeit quite a bit slower and clunkier, to achieve the same outcome. The idea is to use Mesmeric Orb; Sidisi, Brood Tyrant; and/or Undead Alchemist to make a number of zombies all while you're doing the typical Bloodghast, Gravecrawler, and Vengevine shenanigans. I also like the interaction Vengeful Pharaoh, Mesmeric orb, and Sidisi have :) Mainboard Vraska is there just for fun, could easily be cut for another Pharaoh/Alchemist/Altar (EDIT: moved to side for 3rd Altar). I'm trying to keep the manabase strictly BUG to keep it more consistent. Yes, I lose Faithless Looting (EDIT: now banned), Insolent Neonate, Cathartic Reunion, etc., but you do gain access to Narcomoeba, Drowned Rusalka, Radical Idea, Chemister's Insight, Champion of Wits, etc. Could potentially splash a little red for Faithless, but that'll require a bit of tinkering. Also not sure how many copies of Mesmeric Orb & Altar of Dementia to include. Again, any feedback is really appreciated!

Maybeboard is filled with a bunch of cool, but cute interactions. Some cards that can discard & draw cards (haunted dead, advanced stitchwing, geralf's masterpiece, radical idea, Champion of Wits, Chemister's Insight) from hand or graveyard. Bunch of lands if I don't continually like getting shocked. Alternate win conditions with Laboratory Maniac & Mortal Combat. Hell's Caretaker & Genesis are ways of getting Sidisi & Alchemist back. Selhoff helps mill you/your opponent for more zombies, Blood Artist as another way of winning w/o dealing damage, Midnight Reaper is card draw all in response to saccing your creatures. Underrealm Lich helps you dig for the cards you need faster all while making zombies w/ Sidisi and prevents you from decking yourself. Skaab Ruinator is a substitute for Hogaak and is a zombie for Gravecrawler. Altar of the Brood is a very interesting combo with Alchemist against creature-heavy decks. Ancient Stirrings is the only way I found to help dig for the artifacts you need to go off with Sidisi/Alchemist.
