Vulturous Zombie or Ghave, Guru of Spores?
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 21, 2023, 11:17 p.m. by DemonDragonJ
I am contemplating putting Ghave, Guru of Spores into my Teneb, the Harvester EDH deck, since that deck has a strong focus on sacrificing creatures, and I believe that I can remove Vulturous Zombie to make room for Ghave, since the zombie is nice, but I feel that Ghave is a better match for the deck's theme.
What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Vulturous Zombie with Ghave, Guru of Spores?

Does anyone have any feedback to offer on this subject? I do not wish to sound rude, but I start threads such as this to actually have proper discussions, not simply because I enjoy speaking.

This is ridiculous; why is no one responding to this post? Have I become a pariah on this forum?

Actually, I realize that I sound as if I am complaining, so I do not necessarily need Ghave in my Teneb deck, since I already have plenty of sacrifice outlets in that deck.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I wasn't responding because I have no constructive input. I feel that Ghave, Guru of Spores is better at the helm of his own deck, but I don't think he would be bad per se in the linked deck. It isn't that you are a pariah, bud. It is more that no one has any strong feelings or useful insights that would make the decision easier.

Gidgetimer, yes, you are correct, and I admit that I was being overly-dramatic, so I am very sorry about that.
As for the subject, I have decided to replace Vulturous Zombie with Ghave, Guru of Spores, since the zombie was merely a flying beater, while Ghave far better fits the theme of the deck.

I could also remove Sigarda, Host of Herons from that deck, which I would rather not do, but Vulturous Zombie actually has better synergy with the deck's theme, and, as much as I am fond of Sigarda, this deck's emphasis on token generation and creature reanimation should mean that any attempts by my opponents to force me to sacrifice my creatures should not hurt me, too much.
