Vessiliana I'm concerned about screwing up my mana curve tbh. I cut Vampire Interloper, Olivia's Bloodsworn, Carrier Thrall and Bloodthrone Vampire to fit in three 3-drops, a 1 and a 2. Also cut Enlightened Tutor for Anointed Procession, though tbh I kinda do want the extra tutor. Enchantments and artifacts win games in EDH. Not sure what to do going forward.

Some thoughts:

• Bone Shards is better than Eaten Alive

• Carrion Feeder is better than Bloodthrone Vampire, and you prolly want a playset.

• I’m not a fan of either Mortician Beetle or Reassembling Skeleton. The Beetle just feels like it’ll be hard to get value from, and the Skeleton just feels waay too slow/clumsy. I’d suggest using Blisterpod and Shambling Ghast instead, as these both have stronger death triggers, and can chump-block in the early game to help ramp you into the spells that matter.

• Tap lands are almost always a terrible idea. You’re only running 2 colours so running just basics should be fine, and trip you up less often, than running stuff like Evolving Wilds. I’d suggest just playing 11x Swamp, 11x Forest, 2x Golgari Rot Farm

@Batman18 yeah Carrion Feeder isn’t ideal here, I think I detailed that in the description somewhere. We lose any +1/+1 gains that might be had through sacrifice, but he’s here for the utility not to be pumped. It was the cheapest sac outlet I could find at the time.

Nantuko Husk would get the buffs, but at {2}{B} it’s too high costed to get things up and running quickly. Bloodthrone Vampire is worth considering, although Cartel Aristocrat looks better yet. If I were to go with one I think that would be it, the protection self buff would pretty much guarantee it sticks around which is really the primary factor to consider with the role of the sac outlet here. Thanks for the suggestions, and I’ll go ahead and add Cartel Aristocrat to the maybeboard for when I eventually return to give this a tune up.

pedrostruck I haven't gotten a chance to play it unfortunately. The issue I had with my earlier iterations was that it heavily depended on my starting hand and didn't see many cards beyond it. That made it very fragile.

Beetle feels bad without continual sac outlets like Bloodthrone Vampire and the playset of Feeders won't make it reliable enough, so it didn't make the cut. This list is by no means perfect and a lot the "synergy" cards could be cut for something else.

Hey welcome back killer_eye!

I'm not sure about replacing Carrion Feeder. Our curve being what it is, I'd prefer keeping 1-drops instead of expanding our 2-drop slot.

You do make an interesting point! Perhaps Bloodthrone Vampire should go in somewhere....

Hi! What do you think about swapping Carrion Feeder for Bloodthrone Vampire? My reasoning here is that it’s 1:2 (1 sac creature = 2 power) which is very relevant in P/T effects such as Disciple of Bolas as a Hogaak backup in case opponent respond to kill our big guy Hogaak.

Some more suggestions for cards:

• Lingering Souls seems strong here. I’d swap-out Bloodflow Connoisseur for it.

• Carrion Feeder is better than Bloodthrone Vampire.

• personally, i’d run Dauthi Voidwalker over Bloodcrazed Paladin. While it might not be as big, it’s almost guaranteed to hit for 3 everyturn regardless of how gummed-up the board gets. It’s abilities are all awesome too. The paladin is probably an alright 2-of in the sideboard to deal with boardwipes.

• i’m not sure Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose does much here. I’d suggest running the 4th Blood Artist, and getting the full playset of Raise the Alarm, over this guy.
