Deck Description

this deck spawned from my brain just before Scars cycled from standard, and previously was ALL about keeping 2-drops recurring. now without cheap cards like Ponder and Doom Blade, it had to evolve a little. Also back then, i did NOT see the popularity of Swagtusk getting this outta control, so sue me for already having 3 of them >.>

Ok I like the Idea your going for here but I don't see consistant win with this deck so here is how I would polish it up if you really want to run test subject you need some ramp like farseek or borderland ranger because otherwise he cripples and slows your deck down way to much also I think you need more utility damage try some Geralfs messenger in there and maybe an outlet to sac creatures.

the intention is NOT to ride test subject to victory as fast as possible, that's just asking to get it killed, so ramp does literal nothing for this deck because having more mana doesn't mean anything late game like decks that have fireballs or Wolf Run.

plus the Driver of the Dead pretty much being a Bloodbraid Elf w/o Haste makes each creature a second-use, letting late game spiral really fast into unwinnable trades with me, but at the moment, i find myself wanting Blood Artist over Nighthawk right now.

I would drop Ludevic for sure...it takes too much time to get his 13/13 side
I dont know what is your objective with this deck, so...Since you have spells, I would add dissipate or essence scatter, drop some lands,20 its a good number for 60 cards
Instead of Cremate, why not Vile rebirth? You wont draw a card, but u will have a 2/2 creature ;P
Maybe some Delvers? They are very cheap (mana cost) and they really help you


I did one standard too, if you have some time,please check and comment

no. and its 12 mana for a 13/13, since when is that not a good thing? its like every creature needs to be Geist of Saint Traft or something that beats it nowadays... and i still find outs with this build, however, Nighthawks don't do much, and i'm thinking on dropping green from it altogether
