That's why it says I'm looking for a suitable replacement, and that my playgroup currently allows him

A couple of creature cards I thought could be helpful are Sepulchral Primordial and Rune-Scarred Demon . The Primordial allows you to steal creature cards from you opponent(s), and the Demon gives you another option for searching your deck. I was curious how often are you able re-animate Gravecrawler ? I noticed you only have 2 other zombies in your deck, one of which is your general which you say gets killed pretty quickly early on. If you are looking for land advantage Sylvan Primordial could be a good option if you often play multi-player matches. I realize the card is not as good as Primeval Titan , but I guess that would be why it is banned.

I like Rune-Scarred Demon . Definitely will do that. The Gravecrawler is to be comboed with Skullclamp , and if my Glissa is out, then I definitely take advantage of the draw as much as possible. So he alone is sort of useless, but when skullclamp and Glissa are out, he does some work. Bloodghast is also built around this mechanic.
Both of the Primordial will need some thinking about, as right now I'm contemplating throwing in some "return card from graveyard to hand" cards like Nature's Spiral , Recollect , Regrowth , and Stitch Together . These might fill in the gaps and make the deck run smoother. Ideas on that? And thank you for your input :)

Yeah, I would say getting cards out of your graveyard will help out more than the two Primordials. I am not sure what could be removed right now, but that might help in making the deck more consistent.

Hmm... Maybe Griselbrand ? use his ability with the dredge cards in the yard. also, Golgari Thug and Dakmor Salvage ? just for the dredge. Oh, and Vengevine . +1, this deck looks sweet!

I think Griselbrand is banned in EDH, but if you have a group of people that do not worry about that it would be a good card to add. The other suggestions are good ideas as well!

Ohh, never even thought about Griselbrand . Yeah, if i can snag one, definitely.
The only reason I'd have to pass on the Golgari Thug is this thing plays like 90% by reanimation, very little hardcasting. And I'd rather draw into a non creature, so that doesn't fit too well. The Dakmor Salvage is sweet early game. Thanks for that!

Regrowth will let you get things you milled back. I can't help but notice you don't have the disk lock in here. Darksteel Plate and Nevinyrral's Disk with your general means you have a board lock. When you pop disk and an opponent's creature dies you get disk back from your commander's ability.

True, that's a sick board wipe, but then my deck would be pretty slow to get back up and running again =/ might be a replacement for Life's Finale though.

It still leaves you with your general, on a related note why no Mycosynth Lattice ? It pretty much make you unstoppable.

Mycosynth Lattice only makes things on the field artifacts, so it's of no use when something is in the graveyard. Even so, it would give my opponent (assuming he's running a tri colored deck) more of an advantage than me.
What would I take out for Conjurer's Closet ?
November 16, 2013 8:38 p.m.
Beacon of Unrest - because it never dies. Or Necromancy or Nim Deathmantle
Butcher of Malakir because it's great.
Reaper of the Wilds maybe ?
Fleshbag Marauder can be a pain for opponents.
Here are some other cards that can go well with things dying. Black Market , Pawn of Ulamog , Gutter Grime , Sadistic Glee , Jar of Eyeballs
what do you do against Rest in Peace ?
November 28, 2013 8:24 p.m.
McClair_Bear says... #15
I like it. Definitely will get Beacon of Unrest and maybe Black Market . Will get Butcher of Malakir .
Reaper of the Wilds would be nice, but the scry 1 in EDH (I doubt, but never tried it) would work too well.
Fleshbag Marauder , meh. I have enough "kill their creature" cards
Rest in Peace ... Shit. Never played against it. I suppose if I play that, Bojuka Bog , Tormod's Crypt or any other "Exile graveyard" cards, I'm kind of screwed... Suggestions?

There's nothing you can do except Riftsweeper and in response to them playing it somehow shuffling your graveyard back into your library ( like Elixir of Immortality ). There are probably better examples but I cant think of them now.

Naturalize and Abrupt Decay would work, I suppose.

Plus, I feel like a lot of EDH decks wouldn't run Rest in Peace solely due to the fact that it also exiles their graveyard, a a lot of decks use a graveyard mechanic of some sort.

Ive been playing my competitive teneb deck deck-large: teneb-combo-harvester-competitive-edh. It comes up a lot. Lots of players run it or something similar like Scavenging Ooze because geaveyard strats are so common. I pray for Acidic Slime or Riftsweeper
