I do like the Beast Within i will have to try it, but on Crop Rotation i have it in here because it searches for my utility lands like Cabal Coffers and Maze of Ith and mana acceleration is not that big of deal as long as a get Crucible of Worlds and some good dredgeing going
That makes sense. I just recently found Mulch and i think it could work in here pretty well.
I quite like this, but it needs more ramp in the form of cards like Sol Ring , Golgari Signet and Gilded Lotus . Especially if you say you're a little slow out of the gates.
Secondly, the more artifact ramp you add the more Glissa, the Traitor looks good. I put Birthing Pod in my Glissa deck too, and its nice to have the extra tutor that also feeds your graveyard.
Finally, I run Wild Pair in deck:the-haven-at-sacellum and I'm considering it for my Glissa deck. It helps you recover from board wipes faster, you just have to tailor your list a little bit to benefit from the tutor.
Zombify is better than Rise from the Grave and Demonic Tutor is better than Diabolic Tutor
Sorry disregard the "Zombify is better than Rise from the Grave " comment, because it isn't. I do suggest Zombify though.
i have Demonic Tutor in here i just forgot to edit it in and i did have Zombify in but i didnt like it that much so i put in Reanimate and Animate Dead instead
and mulch does seem like something to think about
and about the artifacts jminute14 what do you suggest i take out to put them in
I'd probably look at Driver of the Dead , Grave-Shell Scarab and Veteran Explorer . The first two have small effects for the format, Dredge 1 is too small and returning a small creature isnt so hot when you probably want them in the yard for your Splinterfright , Boneyard Wurm and Golgari Grave-Troll . You're missing Fauna Shaman too. Useful tutor with Golgari Grave-Troll . Lastly, Veteran Explorer is good, but unless your playgroup plays that way, helping your opponents isn't so hot.
Yeah i agree with some of what u said jminute14, ive been meaning to get ahold of a Fauna Shaman and when i do i will be taking out Grave-Shell Scarab for it.
But Driver of the Dead is there just to get back the likes of Hermit Druid and some of my other small creatures but if i find something better i plan on taking it out
And dev1ant Haunted Crossroads does look like a card to look into
Fair enough, I also cut Ghoultree from my Glissa, the Traitor dredge deck because I found it often just ran into tokens or chump blockers. It was nice to sac it to a Doomgape though.
I know this is an odd suggestion but why not try Gleancrawler using him you will be able to repeatedly eat creatures for life using Doomgape . You can also use Gleancrawler in a combo with Sadistic Hypnotist making your opponent discard 2 cards every round, or with Sakura-Tribe Elder to mana ramp up in late game if you need it. Use it in a combo with Savra, Queen of the Golgari to wipe the field or to gain life just to have your creatures come back the next round. Since Gleancrawler hits the board towards the later game I do not forsee it breaking the cards in your deck like Jarad, Mortivore and Ghoultree . Good deck I like it 1+ from me.
Cultivate IMHO is way better than Rampant Growth , especially if you play it turn three with no fourth drop in sight.
Sorry for all the posts, but I keep seeing things I enjoy...this one may be obvious...and yes, the card is not that easy to come by but its significantly better, I'm looking for one myself.
Carnage Altar out, Altar of Dementia in. In a dredge deck cards in the yard is basically drawing cards.
Yeah man thats cool thats what i want is ideas to make in better and i do like Altar of Dementia im in the process of getting one now and what do you think of Oversold Cemetery in here
Few suggestions: Lord of Extinction Twilight's Call Living Death
i plan on getting a Lord of Extinction soon enough but the other two i dont really need because the plan is too get enough stuff in th egrave too pump the my creature like the lord and then sac them with jarad too kill everybody at once but thanks for the suggestions
Oversold Cemetery does seem good, you'll almost always have the creature requirement and you'll either get a good utility creature or a bomb back. Can't go wrong there. Have you looked at Illusionist's Bracers? Also, Nath of the Gilt-Leaf is a great combo with Sadistic Hypnotist.
/collection of random thoughts
Never thought about the bracers but it seems too narrow for the use since the only thing i want them on is Jarad and usually i only need to do his ability once too kill everybody anyway.
And Nath seems ok but i wouldnt know what too take out for him and he doesnt seem great but he seems ok
Well, there are quite a few copiable abilities in your deck. But I see how often you could be spending your mans more efficiently than say...paying three mana to tutor two basic lands with your Sakura-Tribe Elder.
You're probably right about Nath, he's strong in a deck heavy with discard, and is a great combo with the hypnotist but not particularly synergistic for your build at all.
i would maybe add Necrotic Ooze, Devoted Druid, Quillspike, and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
i could maybe see Mikaeus, the Unhallowed but the others just seem meh too me.I dont really need a another mana dude with Devoted Druid and i see no reason to run Quillspike unless i run the mana dude and Necrotic Ooze does seem like it could be utilized in here but there are few activated abilities i have in here that i would want too use
Bobopatchnosuke was suggesting those cards because they are WAYYY better than several things in here, Ghoultree for example. Devoted Druid and Quillspike are an infinite combo to pump quillspike to whatever ammount you need to kill all opponents with one use of Jarad's ability. I would reconsider his suggestions for sure.
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is a nice antisocial combo with Woodfall Primus. Quillspike, Devoted Druid and Necrotic Ooze is a combo I've built a deck around, but each creature isn't very good in EDH on its own. May be better options out there to devote slots to
but does necrotic ooze have the ability to untap if the druid is in the grave because the ability reads "put a -1/-1 counter on DEVOTED DRUID: untap DEVOTED DRUID" necrotic ooze is not devoted druid
From Gatherer's Oracle...
1/1/2011 If an activated ability of a card in a graveyard references the card it's printed on by name, treat Necrotic Ooze's version of that ability as though it referenced Necrotic Ooze by name instead. For example, if Cudgel Troll (which says "G: Regenerate Cudgel Troll") is in a graveyard, Necrotic Ooze has the ability "G: Regenerate Necrotic Ooze."
In short, yes, that's the premise that my combo deck Life From The Stinkweed Scholar's Birthing Ooze utilizes. Every creature in your graveyard's ability is "printed" on Necrotic Ooze but when it references itself it changes the text to Necrotic Ooze instead of in this case Devoted Druid. Note the difference between this and Mirror-Mad Phantasms ability where it says "a card named..."
Squirrel_of_War Dont really like the combo in here, i just like Ghoultree way better overall in most situations and plus i cant put cards in unless i take cards out, thats why i said what would u suggest too take out
I like running Greater Good in my Jarad deck instead of Momentous Fall . The threat in that card is great, people dont like targeting your stuff when they know you are just going to blow it up for profit. Combine with an equipped Deathrender for style points and watch the table cringe.
Birthing Pod and Jarad's Orders do some serious work and are very appropriately themed. Nim Deathmantle can allow you to blowout the table with Jarad's sacrifice ability, when you're short on the power but have mana to spare.
Other graveyardy shenanigans cards would be Disciple of Bolas , Brawn (Makes a large Jarad/Lord of Extinction pretty vicious) and Filth . Don't forget Kokusho, the Evening Star is unbanned, it just hasn't been changed on the deck builder.
Yeah i have Greater Good in here but i seemed to have forgot to update some of the cards in here. But yeah im wanting a Kokusho, the Evening Star but just havent been able to get one. And with Filth and Brawn i dont do much attacking since i just pile up my graveyard with cards and just sac one of the big creatures with Jarad to end the game at once.
I might try Nim Deathmantle it seems it could be very useful and so does Jarad's Orders but ive never like Birthing Pod very much to try to run it in here
And thanks for the advice
another card that would fetch your utility lands would be Expedition Map , Glissa would also be able to get expedition map back from your graveyard.

Squirrel_of_War says...
I would recommend switching Bramblecrush for Beast Within . Crop Rotation is more of a mana fixer i would put something in its place to excelerate like Cultivate or card:Kodama's Reach. I also think Diabolic Servitude would be great in this. Ireally like your deck +1! Take a look at my graveyard EDH deck, Dopplegrinder.
