Rivel on Necromancin' Dancin'

3 months ago

I never got around to buying the cards needed for this deck. I was worried it was not good enough and put this project on the back burner in case I changed my mind. Now today, after reviewing the deck, I decided that I did not have enough interaction and that some cards still feel a bit too expensive or slow. These changes should hopefully help rectify those issues.

Previous changes: -1. Aetherspouts - replaced with Noxious Ghoul. I determined that Noxious Ghoul did not have enough impact for its mana cost. Instead I shall be using Counterspell. -2. Eater of Hope - replaced with Corpse Harvester. I determined that Corpse Harvester was too expensive and too slow to make an impact, seeing as it needs to survive an entire turn in order to be used. I really liked it, but my deck needs more interaction. Instead I shall be using Arcane Denial.

Additional precon card swaps: 1. Gravespawn Sovereign - replaced with Negate. 2. Ravenous Rotbelly - replaced with Dispel. 3. Army of the Damned - replaced with Unwind This spell really hurt me to remove as I love it very much. Just too expensive and slow. 4. Dread Summons - replaced with Reality Shift. 5. Curse of the Restless Dead - replaced with Thought Vessel. 6. Swamp - replaced with Reliquary Tower (already owned one, figured, why not?)

I was considering the Corpse Harvester because 3 of the 5 Undying creatures here is a Zombie... and more Ramp is always cool..

The way I saw it, Imperial Seal & Corpse Harvester would replace Read the Bones & Gray Merchant of Asphodel, respectively..

The only reason I'm not auto-including the Wasteland is because of running Cabal Coffers, Everglades, Lake of the Dead, Bubbling Muck, and Mutilate..

Over the past three years I have been slowly brewing, playing, and tweaking a cEDH-ish Yawgmoth, Thran Physician deck with a pre-Modern twist. I'm quite happy with what it's grown into, but now I'm looking into what would be the last few changes required to reach it's maximally calibrated "final form". I use the term "final form" because there is ultimately only a finite number of pre-8ED {B} & {C} cards to sort through.

First off, I plan on buying a Strip Mine— because reasons.. I also plan on effectively doubling the dollar value of the deck with an Imperial Seal— to flush out the last of the unconditional Tutors..

The other three that I am strongly considering are Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed, Wasteland, and a Corpse Harvester. Would these add or take away from the competitive value of this deck?

Is there anything else that I am missing?

There are a couple of other thoughts that I have, but I wanted to start off the conversation with this...

Althuran Impressive list. Your creature load out is pretty great. You could consider Corpse Harvester. Good pay off, triggers wilhelt.

Rooftop Storm + Liliana, Untouched By Death= Cast all zombies from your graveyard and hand. Things get even nuttier if you have Tormod, the Desecrator out. You already run 2 of these cards so I'd include liliana.

Good luck, and I welcome critiques to my own decks. Zom-bae (Varina) may be of particular interest to you ;)

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.
