Changed some lands around so I could add Kessig Wolf Run. Also switched 2 sideboard Kitchen Finks with 2 Smother for three reasons: (1) some of my games lately are against creatures that Smother doesn't effect - such as Kiki-Jiki & Restoration Angel, (2) I ended up putting in another shockland so I need to keep my life up, and (3) I should have more creatures in the deck.

Moved all comments to this update.

I kind of like the idea of Ghoultree in here over Boneyard Wurm .

Ghoultree does not play well with Dark Confidant

Is Life from the Loam modern legal? Dredge plus extra card:Raven's Crime usage would be nasty.

Life from the Loam is actually a type of deck in Modern. I've found that I don't need it though, for the most part - Mulch tends to give me enough lands if I'm running low. There aren't really any decks that have such tremendous draw power I need to get lands from my graveyard so I can use card:Raven's Crime even more. It helps that this is aggro enough to not need many lands on the battlefield, so you should be fine as long as you don't play more than a few.

And I'm okay with that. Life from the Loam is $12-15 each and this deck is enough money as it is, lol. I might have to consider them anyway because of the Dredge part, since I don't know how well that would work here.

I'm thinking about adding Rancor to push through extra damage from Boneyard Wurm and Tarmogoyf (or Bloodghast ). If someone produces a LOT of chump blockers I only have Splinterfright to rely on, assuming all copies haven't already met a grisly end. However I don't feel like I really have room - perhaps Smother should be relegated to the sideboard, as it isn't relevant against every deck?
