Deck Description

Fuck Esper. They bitches.

How to Play

So, trying to make a b/w control. Saw crypt ghast and just love the acceleration. So unfair (once you get to 4 mana). I decided to make it control, b/c you want to start going off once you get your ghast out there. All swamps are now 2 mana? I'll take that.

What this could mean:
1) Griselbrand Turn 5
2) Blow hand, get it back with card draw (griselbrand, sign in blood) looking for other card draw in black that would be good with this.
3) Insta kill (assuming no respones) all opponents with 8 mana. 2 plains 6 swamps + Ghast + debt to the deathless = 20 damage. A control deck should be able to get to 8 mana easily. I've definitely seen sphinx's revelations for more than 5 before.


Let me know what you guys think/give me lots of suggestions.

considered exchanging 2 or more of the plains for Isolated Chapel? and perhaps exchange some mutilate with Merciless Eviction

I've been really scared of RDW and gruul aggro lately. Do you think I can make it to T6/T7 to get off a Merciless Eviction? Or is it more for the SB instead of Killing Wave?

to be honest debt the deathless is nice and all but for 4 mana and X, its little much even with ghast, its gonna take time for u to get it out, i use Essence Harvest its the same thing just its 1 black and X and it doesnt double the dmg but u still gain life and deal dmg. and use liliana of the dark realms to get some mana every turn.

Yea, thanks for the help, good points. I never really liked debt to the deathless either but was wondering if it had potential in this scenario. I can definitely see taking it out for another win con or card draw mechanic. As to essence harvest, I looked it up and it is different than what you describe. Essence Harvest is a B(2) for X depending on the power of a creature you control. the only targets I really have are Obzedat and Griselbrand. Are you talking about a different card?
