desmondwrite: Great suggestions! I have a Havengul Lich in my Inalla deck and have been thinking about moving it over, and you've convinced me. I don't play the Inalla deck much anyway, and it would be better here. And I have a Corpse Harvester lying around! It's a little mana intensive but it's so good.

Any recommendations as far as what I could cut for them?

The problem with Varina, Lich Queen is that there are too many good options. I run Corpse Harvester for land fetching and tutoring. And Havengul Lich is great value because you don't even need to cast the zombie from your graveyard to get its abilities.

griffstick i thought of that too when MH just released. But i found that Corpse Harvester felt better as zombie tribal for the sake of tutoring.

However, it would be great if you could pull out some Yawgmoth, Thran Physician like combo with

Deathgreeter, Falkenrath Noble, Viscera Seer and some persist/undying?

Hey, looks like your going for a Zombie tribal theme.

Going to have to make some sacrifices of five drop Zombies and here's some advice. Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Gray Merchant of Asphodel and The Scarab God are the only three you need the rest could be cut. Muldrotha, Grave Titan, Rooftop Storm and Liliana, Dreadhorde General are the only six drops you need.

I have a Zombie tribal Muldrotha deck that I made last year, Zombie Grave Wave (Budget). My deck is budget, $200, but it could give you some ideas and you can replace the budget alternatives I'm using with more expensive price cards that you have. More advice to improve your deck is to include Gravecrawler infinite combos since it's a Zombie.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Diregraf Captain/Plague Belcher/Bontu's Monument/Blood Artist/Vengeful Dead is an infinite combo to make all your opponents lose life. Sac Gravecrawler with Altar, use the one black mana to cast Gravecrawler from your graveyard and repeat. Gravecrawler + Altar is infinite casts of Gravecrawler from your graveyard which can be used with other cards. Diregraf Colossus is infinite 2/2 Zombies. Undead Augur/Secrets of the Dead/Guardian Project can draw into a win condition. Kill all your opponents creatures with Grave Pact.

Cards to consider cutting:

• Evolving Wilds
• Cabal Stronghold: don't need this land since you have Coffers.
• Dimir Aqueduct
• Golgari Rot Farm
• Simic Growth Chamber
• Font of Fertility
• Curse of Disturbance
• Curse of Predation
• Curse of Death's Hold
• Curse of Misfortunes
• Cruel Reality
• Door of Destinies
• Springbloom Druid
• Vile Rebirth
• Deathsprout
• Casualties of War
• Geralf's Mindcrusher
• Molderhulk
• Vulturous Zombie
• Perpetual Timepiece
• Gilded Lotus
• Amulet of Vigor: not worth playing just to have Bounce lands ETB untapped.
• Soulless One
• Gravebreaker Lamia
• Havengul Lich
• Nyxbloom Ancient
• Grave Betrayal
• Deadbridge Chant
• Bow of Nylea
• Greater Good
• Sultai Ascendancy
• Eternal Skylord
• Underrealm Lich
• Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
• God-Eternal Bontu
• God-Eternal Rhonas
• Fallen Shinobi
• Unbreathing Horde
• Black Market
• Corpse Harvester

To also make room for more lands and other card upgrades this is more than 13 card suggestions to consider cutting. Many of these suggestions are good cards, but are very much outclassed by other better cards in your deck already or you could add with such a high budget.

20x total lands is not enough for a functioning Commander deck. Want at least 30-36 lands depending on how high the avg. CMC of your deck is and how many additional mana sources you include. The current avg. CMC is 3.7 which is too high. What's making it this high is too many high CMC Zombies especially five drops.

I offer more advice if you would like. Good luck with your deck.

As we mentioned, I think the best thing for Thrax himself is to get him on the field a turn or two early. Mana rocks are going to be the thing, since we can't make extra land drops with green. Hopefully we can get Thrax down turn 5 or so, so rocks costing 4 or less are where it's at. My favorites are Chromatic Lantern, signets such as Izzet Signet, and others that make your off-colors since we're focusing black with our mana. Altars such as Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar might be the end goal here, given the sacrifice subtheme with the Pact effects.

Some extra card draw might help get us the mana and rocks we need on-curve. God-Eternal Bontu pairs with pact effects for a blowout, Cryptbreaker turns your bodies into cards and your useless cards into bodies, and Midnight Reaper/ Undead Augur are less dangerous to you with your sacrifice outlets to make sure they don't hurt you too much. Corpse Harvester plays triple duty as ramp, tutor, and sac outlet.

I'm going to further push the sacrifice subtheme and see if we can shore up one of the weaknesses Thrax shares with Savra...large creature armies. Archfiend of Depravity and Vona's Hunger will stop a billion saprolings from getting you down, and Butcher of Malakir seems like a good redundancy piece. And it might not be the best, but I really like Syphon Flesh in here.

Also, if you're going for stealth Liliana tribal, you're missing OG Liliana Vess :P I also like Angrath, Captain of Chaos in here (I wouldn't even make a token with him...just leave him up as a harder-to-kill enchantment)...probably better than most of your Lili options if you're not married to the 'tribe'. Last Hope and Heretical Healer would be my picks for the weak links of the planeswalkers you do play.

THERE ARE NO INSTANTS IN THIS DECK?! Let's grab some versatile ones, so I don't start thinking I can free-roll on your turn. Crosis's Charm, Soul Manipulation, Grixis Charm, Silumgar's Command, and Lazotep Plating are some of my picks for cards that can always find a use.

Other cards I'm unimpressed with: Cruel Reality, Army of the Damned, Skull Storm, Nightmare Lash, Mayhem Devil, Nekusar, the Mindrazer
