Deck discussion for The Golgari Swarm

Very nice build.

Not sure how it will do vs blue, as the bounce mechanic will really mess with ur +1/1 production.

Also may fair poorly against anything running GY hate - all the good decks are siding it, so you need to watch out. While ur deck does not completely need GY, it will help, and a single rest in peace from your opponent considerably weakens you.

Definitely need to include 4* tragic slip. Will come in very handy.

Could possibly side a couple of vraska, as you have enough defence. I wouldn't play him against anyone using BR, but any other colour combo will see vraska giving them problems.

Hope this helps. Please take a moment to review my bant standard:

Increasing savagery do wonders with corpsejack out.
I play a very similar deck and I can assure you it makes big monsters.
With some ramp, turn 3 corpse jack, turn 4 primordial hydra 6/6, turn five it's an 18/18 hydra you turn into a 28\28 with inc. savagery. If 28 trample dammage wasn't enough, it'll be 84/84 come turn 6. If you still have the ramp, and didn't miss a land drop, flashback inc. savagery to swing a 104 trampler in the enemy face. Or play jarad and fling the hydra for 84.
It's evidently best case scenario, yet it's scary.
Take a look a my deck if you feel like it.

Yup it works well with the imp, but i'd rather pay 3 mana for vampire nighthawk. :p

It is prolly the best composition of Golgari yet though I would build more tword the mid range life steal things like blood artist coupled with killing wave and perhaps adding in gravecrawler I like it overall
