How I Run Slaughter Games

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

The Goal:

Slaugter Games, again, and again.

The Means:

Blue return and flash back.

The Fix:

Death effects!

How to Play

The Cards?

Blood Artist: We all know what this dude does, the more 'paint' you give him, the better he gets.

Dread Slaver: Turn five, they'll have something out. Just drop him. They'll stop swinging.

Gravecrawler: Sacrifice him, bring him back, sacrifice him, bring him back. Rinse lather repeat.

Grimgrin, Corpse-born: Meanwhile, Grimgrin is being super buffed by gravecrawlers death defying stunts! Pair in a blood artist, and things get fun.

Griselbrand: Used mostly for the draw, huge game ending beater.

Havengul Skaab: Keep that snapcaster snapcasting!

Snapcaster Mage: He made a new zombie friend! You can snap cast that appetite or duress.

Mystic Retrieval: Use on that slaugter games, so you can slaugter more!

Slaughter Games: Remove entire cards from the game! Yeah. Nothing they can do about it.

Deck discussion for How I Run Slaughter Games

I run this one for the fun. Zombies + Slaughter games + Sacrifice, the only real secret is, don't do the obvious thing. Don't use snapcaster to flash back slaughter games, by the time you can, you'll be running up on a mystic retrieval. Use the evolving wilds to grab the forest if you have a good mana spread. That will let you flash back deadly allure to reuse your dread slaver.

Otherwise, the most important thing you can do in this deck is get the Blood Artist to work.

Replace Snapcaster Mage with Archaeomancer and you can re-use Slaughter Games that much more

I had him, but flashing back those one cost proved much more useful. Not to mention, it is more aggro then normal. You can drop duress first turn, destroy a card, by third turn, you can do it again.

I suppose, but if I were you, I would focus this deck more about exiling from their deck than making them discard from their hand. The discard cards would be there just so I can see some cards they have so I don't waste slaughter games, cause once you cast slaughter games, you get to see their entire library and will be able to note all of the dangerous creatures you want to get rid of. But this is a stylistic difference or something lol. Good deck anyways! Maybe consider runic repetition so you can get cards back from exile
