The Grave Tree's Rampage

Commander / EDH*

Verstaka


My friend Zach made me this deck as a Secret Santa exchange in our EDH group. While I was not expecting Golgari, let alone Skullbriar, to be the deck I have to say I am looking forward to playing with and tuning this deck.

We made the Secret Santa exchange and holy crap this deck can do work if the player's don't have an answer to Skullbriar early on. I love having a 2 drop commander.

What's Out

Gladehart Cavalry I doubt this deck will ever have 6 creatures on the board.

Vraska the Unseen She will kill maybe 1 permanent.

Overrun I'm not going wide and it's a one-time effect.

Battlegrowth A one time +1/+1 counter won't win the game often.

Opal Palace I want to avoid enter tap lands in this deck.

Llanowar Reborn See above

Golgari Guildgate See above

Cruel Sadist I don't know what the synergy is here.

Dreg Mangler Flavorful but probably won't win me the game.

Slitherhead See above

Sewer Shambler See above

Varolz, the Scar-Striped See above

Deadbridge Goliath See above

Sluiceway Scorpion See above

Jugan, the Rising Star Great ability for Skullbriar but without abusing the effect he's a touch mediocre.

Rishkar, Peema Renegade Touch slow for my taste of ramp.

Mycoloth A great card but this isn't a token deck.

Beastmaster Ascension Great card but this deck isn't going wide.

Korozda Guildmage Good card but this isn't a token deck.

Avatar of the Resolute Good card but this deck isn't going wide

Protean Hydra Cool card but I'm not sure how fast I'll be ramping up yet.

Gift of the Deity Doesn't use +1/+1 counters

Oona's Blackguard This deck doesn't run a discard subtheme.

Fungal Behemoth A touch slow for +1/+1 buildup.

Triumph of the Hordes I'm not going wide with this deck.

Ulvenwald Tracker

What's In

Fireshrieker It will trigger Skullbriar getting more counters, and it doubles the commander' potential damage.

Doubling Season More +1/+1 counters

Primal Vigor More +1/+1 counters

Whispersilk Cloak Unblockable and Shroud are good for the zombie tree.

Ophiomancer The tokens will keep me safe.

Reclamation Sage Removal on a body.

Disciple of Bolas Card draw, which the deck needs more of.

Sylvan Library More card draw and selection

Erebos, God of the Dead More card draw.

Greater Good More card draw

Wayfarer's Bauble Helps thin my deck.

Sol Ring Ramp

Harrow Ramp

Primeval Bounty Easier to cast than Jugan (No GGG cost) and I will probably trigger it more often.

Deadbridge Chant Recursion

Hua Tuo, Honored Physician Recursion

Eternal Witness Recursion

Cauldron of Souls Recursion

Woodland Cemetery Upgrading the manabase.

Archfiend of Depravity Trying to keep the board clear.

Map the Wastes Ramp and buffs my commander.

Assault Suit We'll see how my opponent's like having Skullbriar.

Terramorphic Expanse

Evolving Wilds

Loxodon Warhammer

Yavimaya Elder
