Discard Changes —April 16, 2015
Swapped out Hymn to Tourach and Gerrard's Verdict for Mesmeric Fiend and Thoughtseize. This is effectively an aggro build, and getting threats on the table quickly is critical. The deck still has four maindeck cards (two of which are bodies) that can deny a selected spell, which is really important for a deck that has good recovery but can be hosed down by a few specific strategies (namely heavy graveyard hate like Rest in Peace, exiling/tucking, or anything that can deny us use of Athreos). I'll consider placing Hymn and Verdict into the sideboard for control matchups if I find the room.

Yeah, when A) over half your deck is Humans, and B) your whole strategy revolves around those creatures dying, Xathrid Necromancer really pulls his weight. Spoils of Blood is very much worth considering - I tend to undervalue those kinds of cards (same with Quest for the Gravelord, which I see you run). I'll see if I can slot it in!

Oooh, I like the look of Wake the Dead and Xathrid Necromancer. I might take that into my deck. +1 for that.
I reckon Spoils of Blood would be a good addition here. If you have time, could you take a look at my Tartarus Sauce and give it your thoughts?
