Bridge From Below —July 1, 2017

Bridge from Below has me trying a more combo version of the deck. Might go back, as the deck feels a little naked without CoCos, but with bridge in, CoCo wasn't as impactful as it could be. Need a lot of playtesting.

interesting take,
going for the search option instead of the dredge everything on the graveyard i am testing.
+1 for a haakon deck ofc i really liked the Cavern of Souls.
Why rancor? Just for the trample? wont a dredge / unearth / flashback /scavenge ability be better?

Gakros I'm actually starting to wonder about the rancors. I had it at 4x for a while, it helped with the aggro aspect; rancoring a gravecrawler into a trample nantuko husk was nice. But when I added it, I had kind of a durdly deck and it fixed it. A lot of new cards have been added and I haven't given it much consideration.

I've never playtested a Haakon deck that didn't run 100% zombies so I never tried stinkweed imp when I ran loam. Started this deck as a Johnny tribal. Your dredge approach is far superior to the dredge take I had.

Love seeing other Haakon players!

thanks for the kind words,but untill i can beat a decent amount of creatureless meta decks (Ad Nauseum, Scapeshift etc) AND Burn my deck is subpar.
your deck has the free spots to move around and manage that i think.will see keep it up haakon player :)

Where the Cryptbreakers at? Its power level is up there with gravecrawler. First of all, it's 1 mana, and you seem to be lacking in the 1-mana department. Second of all, it's a discard outlet. Most importantly, it allows you to draw into more gas and gifts/other combo pieces. I would put it in without any second thoughts. I suggest removing some number of trolls and belchers, since Cryptbreaker does almost the same thing as troll, and belcher just seems like the worst 3-drop (of which you already have an insane amount of) of the bunch. Even though it has 5 power, your win-con seems to be husk+gravecrawler, which grows much bigger than belcher. Would suggest taking out 2 of each for the playset of cryptbreakers.

Great feedback! I must have forgotten about cryptbreaker's draw ability when I cut it while adding gifts and blue. I have a playset already, I'm gonna start testing it out again.

interesting deck, hereMardu Creatures is the zombie deck i run if you want to playtest. I too decided to cut fatal push recently for Anger of the Gods to help against dredge and affinity.

I run the same Gravecrawler + Nantuko Husk wincon but i play Bridge from Below as well.

Cool deck, similar combos. Biggest difference is I'm trying to stay true zombie tribal. I'm going to playtest Bridge from Below and maybe swap my Liliana, the Last Hopes for Liliana of the Veils to get Bridge from Below into the graveyard easier.

Sweet glad I could help, I would like to run Lili as well but I haven't been able to get one.

Another thought that could help with burn matchup instead of dragon claw play Gifted Aetherborn and more Collective Brutality.Gifted aetherborn has to be answered and collective brutality gets you life and takes away one of their spells. Both have use in more mu than just burn. Ik gifted isn't zombie but dragon claw isn't either...
