Magicfest Cleveland —Feb. 26, 2019

Wow, so huge changes. I bought A LOT of cards at Magicfest Cleveland. I upgraded the mana base significantly, foiled out a lot of the deck, and got some of the upgrades people have been suggesting!

Added Phyrexian Metamorph, Badlands, Choked Estuary, City of Brass, Drowned Catacomb, Exotic Orchard, Foreboding Ruins, Sulfur Falls, Watery Grave, Waste Not, Curse of the Swine, Windfall, Cyclonic Rift, and Pongify

Removed a whole bunch of lands that weren't good, some creatures, and some inefficient spells. Sorry but I wasn't keeping track of what I took out.

Quite the interesting deck you've built here :) Honestly, before looking at your decklist I didn't even know that specters existed in the mtg-universe :D So it's even more... let's say inspiring to see a decklist like yours, completely designed around a creature-type I didn't even know... yet. It's always nice to see someone who tries something special, something not everyone does. While your deck don't seems to be the most competitive deck of all times, it still seems to be pretty decent and playable --> not complete jank but an actually playable deck that can win a game. To acomplish that with a tribe like this is something you surely can be proud of! :)

Now for the suggestions: As you're going with a discard theme, what do you think about adding a Bloodchief Ascension ? Waste Not has allready been mentioned but also seems to be worth a spot, even though the Zombie-part doesn't really fit the specter-theme...

NetholonTheArchmage, Thanks so much! I really love the deck and you're right it does win games! Much to the confusion of my opponents. Quote: "How are you winning? It doesn't make sense!" As for Bloodchief Ascension , I really like the card! When I can find some money (I recently just bought the rest of this deck) It's on my list of cards I really need to pick up.

You should put Alms Collector and Notion Thief in the deck

griffstick Notion Thief is okay, but the deck already has a lot of four drops (I'm also already using my copy in another deck). I think it might've been a mistake, but Alms Collector can't be played lol.

+1 for the awesome and unique theme!

Perhaps you can consider some card draw and recursion engines:

Kindred Discovery - Tons of card advantage when this hits the field. Since Specters have build in evasion (Flying), it should be easy to swing in and draw more cards.

Living Death & Patriarch's Bidding - Some recursion to bring back Specters to continue to haunt your opponents! The former acts as a board wipe too.
