Living Death

Sorcery

Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control, then puts all cards they exiled this way onto the battlefield.

Cool! A few thoughts...

Ground Seal also stops you from targeting things in your graveyard... including stopping Meren of Clan Nel Toth. Not sure this is going to help if someone has a Scavenging Ooze. Without an sorcery like Bitter Ordeal (which can be amazing) I think you're better off trying to stay ahead of your opponents and get those creatures on to the battlefield ASAP rather than worrying too much about graveyard protection.

If you use even fewer basic lands, Hermit Druid could be even better. With Sidisi, Brood Tyrant out that would be amazing.

Since your theme is self-mill, I also really like The Master, Transcendentfoil which is in your Sideboard.

Could think about replacing Seal of Primordium with Reclamation Sage to have another creature to trigger and get back from the graveyard.

I also wonder if you could use a few more ways to give your stuff trample besides just Brawn. There is Garruk's Uprising which also helps with card draw. Surrak and Goreclaw would give creatures trample and haste which might be helpful.

Your ability to stop fliers is pretty low. Wonder would be an easy add here.

And for another wincon that avoids sorceries, you could look at Bringer of the Last Gift as a creature version of Living Death.

Thanks again for the help, hyalopterouslemur! You're right - Reliquary Tower is a mistake here. Also totally agree Genesis, Wonder etc. make sense. I didn't know Kami of Whispered Hopes - that's a good one and Living Death - great alternate wincon for sure. Will think of what to cut to include these - maybe focusing more on filling my GY as opposed to opponents. Also, probably need some other protection against GY hate in addition to Stifle and Louisoix's Sacrifice. My playgroup can have significant GY removal.

Why are you running Reliquary Tower? Graveyard-based strategies don't want Reliquary Tower; if you have 8 or more cards, dumping a few of them in the graveyard is great.

Okay, that out of the way. Some suggestions for cards you could use:

Life from the Loam and cycling lands. This is a simple loop: Cast LFTL getting a cycling land out of your graveyard, cycle that land, dredge LFTL instead of drawing a card, repeat. Not infinite. (You still need a minimum of 3 mana each run through.) Speaking of dredge, you might want Golgari Grave-Troll.

Kami of Whispered Hopes A mana dork that also acts as a Hardened Scales. Nice.

Brawn, Wonder, and Genesis These you should know. They have abilities in the graveyard which may be useful to you.

Living Death Just...try it. That's all I can say.

Mulch Another one to fill your graveyard.

Thank you SufferFromEDHD, I appreciate it. I was fortunate to pick up a Squandered Resources last January for $14. I hadn't realized how much it spiked in price with the recent EOE precon's popularity. I don't think I have seen Infernal Tribute before, but I'll def keep it in mind. Dust Bowl could be a solid add, but would likely have to replace either a basic or a tapped land. Diabolic Intent is also solid, I have a copy or two on hand.

I hadn't really considered Bootleggers' Stash for this deck AkaAkuma (honestly kinda forgot it existed). Yeah Ouroboroid and Mossborn Hydra are both kinda boom or bust, but are a lot of fun when they do pop off. I do like that Mossborn already has baked in Trample, so turns with extra land drops and recursion can ensure that it's erasing somebody. Ouroboroid is mostly for the go-wide, and is more so a finisher than a value piece.

I can def see the case for something like Living Death. The addition of Vigor was something along the lines of, "I have a copy in my binders, and Idk what other deck I'd realistically play this in". Also, I figured the wonky mana cost would be a bit more manageable since Green is the overwhelmingly dominant color of the deck.

Difficult to say what to cut, you already have a synergetic deck, mazirek does is nice to have, especially if you can also make something like treasures from Bootleggers' Stash.

Ouroboroid or Mossborn Hydra don't do much for your main plan, but if you can get counters on them by Szarel I do see their strengths.

On the other hand I personally always end up cutting Vigor, it's a steep 6 mana for something situational unless you have something like chandras ingnition on hand. A wipe like Living Death could give the same result though, Szarels ability can only resolve after living death put new creatures on board to target. Sac everything with greater good prior to living death and your set.

Thanks alot! I dislike Living Death, because it can cause problems with Massacre Girl in the graveyard, just like Rise of the Dark Realms.

The other two are amazing suggestions! I will try to get hold of these, and try them out (especially Springheart Nantuko).

Ahh Jarad, my favorite golgari boy aside from The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride! This deck looks nice, I use him in a +1 counter setting where he is often a 7 mana game-ender.

Any thoughts on Spinner of Souls/Living Death? Or perhaps Springheart Nantuko seeing you have some landfall synergy. Copy your biggest guy and sac the token copy for value.

I am confused. Living Death isn't in your deck-list.
