soul_knightmare on Dimir Zombies: I'm Over It

1 week ago

Hmmm yeah if you are looking to speed the deck up I would drop your creature count to about 30 and include some more draw and ramp. Focus more on draw because you can draw your ramp, but not ramp your draw. Some good includes would be Distant Melody, Windfall, Hostile Negotiations, Night's Whisper, Phyrexian Arena, Talisman of Dominance, and Dimir Signet. Hope it helps!

The deck looks a little light in card draw/ ramp. I would cut the creatures to below 30 and add in cards like Fellwar Stone, Boros Signet, Phyrexian Arena, Painful Truths, Night's Whisper, and Hostile Negotiations

Yeah, I'm getting the feeling its too creature heavy as well. You should probably drop it to about 30 creatures. In their place I would add Mind Stone, Fellwar Stone, Wayfarer's Bauble, Phyrexian Arena, Distant Melody, Patriarch's Bidding, Mystic Remora, Windfall, and Hostile Negotiations to really accelerate your deck with drawing and ramping

Your land count makes me nervous, do you ever have any issues with mana?

Also Coastal Piracy is a strict upgrade over Phyrexian Arena / Tocasia's Welcome. All That Glitters and Stoneforge Masterwork can allow for an easy one shot with your commander and gain a ton of life in the process. No Mercy is also a great card for an Alela deck. Harsh Mercy is a one sided board wipe most of the time. The Meathook Massacre can also sometimes be one sided, and will double as a finisher if you kill enough of your own creatures.

Would also highly recommend Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus.

Heya, I see that your deck is mostly lacking in card draw/ card acceleration. You have about 3 while most decks need 10+. Remove Costly Plunder for Night's Whisper so you don't have to sacrifice your demons. Remove Feaster of Fools, Spirit of the Night, Bladebrand, Grasp of Darkness, and You Are Already Dead (I know the meme), and add Dream Devourer, Bloodgift Demon, Herald of Slaanesh, Phyrexian Arena, Blasphemous Act, and Rakdos Charm.

I hope this helps your deck building. Other upgrades would mean removing Ecologist's Terrarium, Lightning Bolt, Grasp of Darkness, Warp Artifact, Insult / Injury, Price of Betrayal, Skulltap, Witch's Vengeance, Blight, and Inevitable End which are okay, but could be improved. Pick more cards that draw cards without condition or ramp on two mana, Wish you the best!

Unexpected Windfall, Big Score, Deadly Dispute, Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Unearth, Door of Destinies, Shadowspear, Phyrexian Arena, Elbrus, the Binding Blade  ^Flip and then way more SWORDS.

Except don't put Sword of Hearth and Home, thats HACKING. Big. Hacking.

You could maybe cut Anointed Procession. Its a great card, but it's definitely another slot that could be used for draw.

You could maybe swap a creature slot for Professional Face-Breaker, especially since you already have Goldspan & Lannery Storm in the 99.

Breena, the Demagogue is another draw option & political piece. Opponents might leave you alone to try to benefit from it, which makes games more interactive & fun.

You could maybe swap Savai Crystal for Painful Truths & Deadly Dispute. Plumb the Forbidden is super useful for refilling your hand.

You could maybe cut Sun Titan. I like more proactive & instant speed board protection than graveyard recursion for this build. Grave Titan was a cut I recently made.

There's also Phyrexian Arena, & Black Market Connections, Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor, or Tymna the Weaver depending on your budget.
