Grave Titan

Creature — Giant

Deathtouch

Whenever Grave Titan enters the battlefield or attacks, create two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens.

@Basshunter: Thanks for the input. There are a few things I feel the need to justify keeping in though.

The primary reason I have Paragon of Open Graves and Hero's Blade is so I can easily buff up Sarevok, causing his ability to drain extra life when it triggers. Death-Priest of Myrkul is somewhat expensive, but when he's out, I just got to pay a mana at the end of each turn to ensure I maintain a consistent fuel supply for Cultist (and a lot of my token generation is zombies anyway so... bigger dead dudes.). Similar vein, Palace Siege allows me to sac something to Cultist then play it again on the same turn, which goes real good with Gray Merchant of Asphodel for life gain and Doomed Dissenter for a free Zombie token, if I just don't sac Gravecrawler to play it again cause it cheap.

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and Squelching Leeches are mostly there to be big beefy bois if I need them, but yeah, of the suggestions you've made, I'd probably swap them for Black Market Connections and Priest of Forgotten Gods to net me some more card draw. Ophiomancer, Grave Titan and Phyrexian Altar are also on my radar.

Not a fan of Skullclamp, at least in this deck. I'd need either altars or Yahenni, Undying Partisan out to actually get consistent value out of it, otherwise I'd need to pay for another sac outlet.

its a really nice deck idea, but in my opinion, you got

  1. too much stuff in your deck that doesnt fit to the theme like Squelching Leeches, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Paragon of Open Graves, Infernal Scarring, Grasping Shadows  Flip, Hero's Blade and maybe some others..

  2. you are really high cmc for a sac-deck. maybe upgrade to a lower cmc and faster deck..i.e. change Diabolic Tutor with Diabolic Intent, Death-Priest of Myrkul, Stir the Sands or Palace Siege is expensive too - and they dont even fit very well to the theme. You can change your reanimation-spells to low cmc like Reanimate or Animate Dead aswell

  3. To get rid of the fuel-problem, get some cards like Black Market Connections (awesome here), Blight Mound, Ophiomancer, Grave Titan ...

  4. Upgrade sac-outlets: Phyrexian Altar, Priest of Forgotten Gods, Viscera Seer, Skullclamp

So all together you should fit the theme more, search for cheaper cmc cards that do the same and get some more token-stuff

Out: Grave Titan, Heliod, God of the Sun

In: Firemane Commando, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon

Bringing down the curve of the deck a little, since Zombie Boy doesn't have a big impact at the top end of my curve.

I've also noticed the ability to flood the board with tokens can help keep me safe from crack backs, so I don't need the Vigilance God's help as much, especially considering it has no attack trigger either.

I don't play cEDH/near that level, only semi-competitive so keep that in mind as I suggest below....

Grave Titan? - Combo with ashnod + nim deathmantle. Maybe swap for Kokusho?

I think dash hopes is prime for cutting, especially in your meta. Who wouldn't pay 5 life to keep their spell? I get that you have a lifeloss theme going but unless their lifetotal is dangerously low, I don't see it's impact. How has it been treating you? Perhaps you would be better served by Opposition Agent - Everyone tutors in EDH, especially cEDH. Fetchlands, specific and omni tutors, creature tutors, artifacts, etc....

Regarding dealing with grave hate by removing artifacts, don't most players use soul-guide lantern, nihil spell bomb or other cheap grave hate artifacts that can just be activated in response to removal?

Praetor's Grasp? - Can steal opposing combo pieces?

Out: Elder Brain, Hammer of Purphoros, Drakuseth, Maw of Flames

In: Hellrider, Grave Titan, Revenge of Ravens

Taking out slow, high cost creatures that can be good if left to sit, but otherwise waste my entire turn doing nothing.

Putting in more attack trigger things (you know, the deck theme).

At this point, my best thought is to keep playtesting the deck, seeing what works, what might not be worth it, and tweak it to your particular tastes.

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon is worth testing alongside your proliferate effects, but with a note that if you never get an infect win, it won't be pulling its weight. Grave Titan and Razaketh, the Foulblooded are very solid options.

Hi legendofa,

Thanks for the description of Tempo! I can definitely see now that my deck is more late game oriented, so I'll add more higher CMC cards with bigger effects (i.e. Breach the Multiverse).

Also thanks for the suggestions, I removed some redundancy from my deck (the main ones I removed were some of the 1/1's with discard ETBs like Virus Beetle, some single target removals like Murder, and I think one or two board wipes like Languish) to fit in those cards you mentioned.

I justify keeping Whisper of the Dross because it's an instant speed proliferate at only 1 mana, so it's both cheap and has a surprise factor (seeing that it comes from the hand and not a permanent's activated ability).

What other cuts do you think I should make? I sometimes have a hard time figuring out what to trim down because in the moment it feels like everything just feeds into each other.

Also, if I make those cuts, do you think cards like Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Grave Titan, and Razaketh, the Foulblooded would make for good high-impact creatures to replace them with. Especially to put them into the grave with all of my mill and discard effects and my Oriq Loremage and THEN cheat them out through my various means of reanimation.

Thanks so much,

Novice Necromancer

good deck buddy i suggest Faces of the Past because Cleaver Skaab with Grave Titan and Ashnod's Altar you get infinite colorless mana then create infinite Gray Merchant of Asphodel :) you know me with infinite combos.
