Changing the idea to an EDH deck where Grist, the Hunger Tide pilots at the helm.

Going to include a lot of skeletons, zombies, and other spooky bois.

Addendum: spooky bois and skeletons might not vibe with Grist the best so maybe some insects instead. See where that gets me. I flagged my deck for help just so I can maybe get some feedback. My current list of things to "include"/"focus" on are:

• Dredge
• Mill
• Infect
• Tokens
• Graveyard presence

..and I'm not sure how I want to accomplish this deck, where it has some originality. Most builds try to go infinite, but I'd rather use Grist to mill out everyone, or slowly start an overwhelming tide of insects, zombie-ish creatures, etc.

Original development notes:

A Golgari ({G}{B}) colored build meant to use Skeletons and Plants to develop a sense of wilderness reclaiming your mortal form!

Initial Concept: a character foil to the Bunny-Bushi deck, meant to be used in a Duel Decks type scenario.

Theme: built with a few core ideas in mind, using skeletons and plants as a representation of death/overgrowth/life cycle.

Constraints: main card to build around is Rot Farm Skeleton
