Noxious Ghoul: Thanks to endless ranks of the dead this kinda deck can easily put a lot of zombies in at once (up to silly amounts later in the game)....a nice one sided boardwipe there. Could easily wipe out my grave titans though...but given how good this guy is id probably remove or sideboard grave titan for this. Nice suggestion . Shepherd of Rot: Not bad as a 2 mana zombie. I may put a couple in but I can see it only being usable fairly rarely as ill often have enough zombies out to kill myself too.
I think when/if i run this in a tournament (as opposed to casual) I may well do that (or at the very least sideboard 4 of them) (i hadnt considered using it with prey upon, thats a good argument for it on its own).
Ive actually had a chance to test this in a tournament (8th out of either 16 or 18, i cant remember) and had some awesome rounds. Its led me to agree completely with you on blinding powder. Wasnt useful ONCE. I think ill be getting some more whispersilk cloaks. And I LIKE Thalakos Seer, I can see what you mean about him working well with ninjas. Unfortunately I was playing modern so I couldnt have used him, but when I play this in casual I think hell definitely replace tormented soul (invisible stalker worked really well for me, whereas tormented soul got picked off too easily, and if hes gonna get killed off at least ill get something out of it). I think im gonna drop curse of deaths hold, Kiku, and the sideboarded ornithopters...
