Thank you for letting me know and i think im gonna start with two of Deathrite Shaman and Stitcher's Supplier and check it out, if Shaman doesnt work the 4 Suppliers will work great

I specifically decided against Grisly Salvage in terms of casual format because Harvest is able to hit anything. Salvage is a perfectly good choice, I even should've mentioned it before, but you will wiff sometimes with it. Harvest does fit the curve better as well.

Stitcher's Supplier! Of course. Absolutely. I suggest experimenting and not just putting in 2 of it and Deathrite Shaman. If Shaman doen't hit lands properly, there is no reason not to put in 4 of Supplier.

Can't go wrong with Assassin's Trophy, although I even suggest Fading Hope here. But that removal slot is entirely up to preference.

So i think i found a good replacement for Wasteful Harvest i believe Grisly Salvage will work better. I have Deathrite Shaman for Chainweb Aracnir and Stitcher's Supplier for Deathbonnet Sprout  ^Flip and Assassin's Trophy for Go for the Throat i believe this would work a lot better. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Im having so much fun with this deck

Dead_Blue_ on How is Ragavan Remotely Balanced?

3 months ago

Ragavan is broken. That being said I’m okay with it existing in the format. Decks should have already been packing at least a play set of interaction before it existed anyway.

Thing is we can all agree that Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer is more powerful than Deathrite Shaman and it’s allowed to be in the format than DRS should be too. Golgari needs a boost as it is

nbarry223 on why is birthing pod banned

3 months ago

I don't see Deathrite Shaman getting unbanned anytime soon. It's just way too versatile of a card with little investment. If solid fetch hate was ever printed, then I could see it getting unbanned, but until then, I just don't see it.

We'd need something like Karn's Sylex with split second for Deathrite Shaman to see an unban. I think the banlist is pretty fair right now, and everything on it is justified for one reason or another.

The only one that isn't on there for a power reason and could potentially be unbanned (in my opinion) is Sensei's Divining Top, but that card is such a time-waste, that I don't think anyone actually wants it unbanned.

magwaaf I don't know what lord you're talking about. I chose not to run llanowar because I'm already running 4 Elvish Mystic and 1 Deathrite Shaman and any more ramp than that would take away from the damage output of the deck and slow it down.

I might run fewer/creatures, since stickfingers will until you reveal x creatures, not just x cards. The fewer you have the higher chance you hit one that destroys the table if you just overload on ramp and reanimates. Rather than these things Crawl from the Cellar,Ghoul's Feast,Gravepurge I'd focus on just reanimating and is easy to get and will probably serve you better. If you really do want it back in your hand Genesis Skullwinder and Eternal Witness do this while attached to a body.

Rather than sending to your hand these will just bring back Diregraf Rebirth, Victimize, Reanimate, Exhume, Unearth, Whisper, Blood Liturgist, Stitch Together,Dread Return.Geth, Lord of the Vault is expensive but can fill your yard as well as revive others. Finale of Devastation revives or tutors, and is a finisher.

Blossoming Wreath,Gnaw to the Bone probably heal less than lifelink, and there's a ton of ways to give lifelink.

Rampant Growth is slightly inferior to Three Visits and Nature's Lore as long as your dual lands have both typesOvergrown Tomb, Bayou, Woodland Chasm, although I'd definitely run all three if there's room. Culling Ritual would be an amazing ramp/wipe card you can use to nuke all tokens and then cast stickfingers. Sakura-Tribe Elder is just rampant growth that works as a blocker for one turn, and it is another creature in your graveyard. Lotus Cobra ramps too, particularly with your other ramp options.

And you'll likey have enough mana to use Decree of Pain, if not, other wipe options are Damnation,Pernicious Deed,Death Cloud,Deathbringer Regent,In Garruk's Wake,Killing Wave,Necromantic Selection,Plague Wind,Reiver Demon,Toxic Deluge. Torment of Hailfire works as a finisher too Endurance is basically the only way you can protect your graveyard that I can think of. I'd probably run Veil of Summer too.

Moodmark Painter gives the +x/+x buff and is on a body Garruk Relentless  ^Flip flips into Garruk, the Veil-Cursed, but its tricky to make this one work

Since you'll have access to really big creatures these can be nice for draw. Greater Good, Momentous Fall, Return of the Wildspeaker, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Morbid Curiosity, Life's Legacy, Disciple of Bolas, Doom Weaver, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds.

Mesmeric Orb,Stitcher's Supplier would be an amazing graveyard filler.

Zombie Infestation and Wild Mongrel is usefull for dumping creatures out of your hand

I think every single black deck should run Dauthi Voidwalker, and the more grave hate you have the more you could take advantage of Living End/Living Death if you use these as mass reanimates. they are the cheapest.

Life from the Loam and Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip would be good helps for mana and options.

As long as you run Filth run Crop Rotation and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth too since it will make every creature you have unblockable.

Deathrite Shaman would benefit from more fetch lands Marsh Flats,Verdant Catacombs,Misty Rainforest would help mana fix as well as throw more lands into your graveyard.

You have a fairly high number of tutors, and a ton of ramp, so i'd consider Panglacial Wurm. It's a card you dont need to waste a draw to get and can be cast instant speed. And its fun to surprise people with it at least once.
