Alhammarret's Archive

Legendary Artifact

If you would gain life, you gain twice that much life instead.

If you would draw a card except the first one you draw in each of your draw steps, draw two cards instead.

Crow_Umbra on The Bre'st Way to Die [Primer]

Thanks legendofa lol. I feel like my considering/maybe boards at this point become my one stop shop for potential swaps so I don't have to do the Scryfall searches all over again.

I think one of the next primer sections I'll add is Budget Swaps. I think Rhox Faithmender could swap in over The Wind Crystal, Alhammarret's Archive, or an alt wincon like Aetherflux Reservoir. Similarly, Balefire Liege could probably be a budget alternative to Archangel of Thune.

Beautiful, but definitely replace Venser's Journal with Alhammarret's Archive, or the more affordable of mana and money cost: Teferi's Ageless Insight.

I have replaced Alhammarret's Archive with The Wind Crystal, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.93 to 3.92, because, while it is always great to be able to draw additional cards, the crystal has amazing synergy with this deck, so I decided to make that replacement.

Glad to have been of some help.

I'm a bit worried about how little mana ramp you have in the deck, but you kept a lot of smaller zombies in your list so the deck may just play well on curve. That's something that only some playtesting will be able to determine. If you start to find that some of the cards feel pretty mediocre most of the time when you draw them then I would recommend swapping them for mana rocks. I like being able to discard unneeded mana rocks to draw more cards off of Bone Miser when it is on the board, and having either Teferi's Ageless Insight or Alhammarret's Archive out as well further increases the value.

I have replaced Boon Reflection with Bloodthirsty Conqueror, since its is good to finally have a creature version of Exquisite Blood; it is unfortunate to have one fewer card that doubles the amount of life than I can gain, but I still have both Rhox Faithmender and Alhammarret's Archive, which is strictly better than the enchantment, in this deck, and I did upset the balance of colors in this deck, with that replacement, but only in a very minor way, thankfully.

I also could, theoretically, replace Boon Reflection, since Alhammarret's Archive is strictly better than it.

Apoptosis on All my life

Updated with better tutors/mana rocks I pulled from an old tribal zombie deck. Additional changes made to make it more competitive.

I think it still needs more removal and ways to deal with artifacts/enchantments, but I haven't decided what that should be. I'm also not super excited about my high end bombs, it would be nice to have win-cons that are not dependent on going infinite or forcing loss of life.
