Deck discussion for Garruk: Deathtouch

I would get rid of the maze abomination because you already have so many cards that give other creatures deathtouch and its 6 mana and its just a waste to bring it out. Put more defending creatures in like the tenacious dead or maybe reassembling skeleton.

I want to give the small creatures I don't care about deathtouch so I can use them to kill the opponent's creatures. But now that I look I see that you are sort of right because I don't have any multicolored creatures. So I switched Maze Abomination for two more Archetype of Finalites. Also I want to keep this deck standard so Reassembling Skeleton wouldn't be the best option. Thanks for the suggestion it helped me take another look at my deck.

Thanks. It's not my best, but I still think it could hold it's own.

if you are trying to make deathtouch chump blockers u might be better off dropping the archetype and the gorgon equip/enchant and just put 4 typhoid rats and 4 pharika's chosen

Holy Crap! How did I not think of that! I can completely redo this deck now. Thanks.

Golgari Charm plus the "deathtouch chump blockers" would be very potent with it's "regenerate each creature you control."

if you are not trying to keep this standard viridian longbow would be really fun with all of the deathtouch

Yeah I know, but I am trying to keep this standard. Actually, this deck is stemming from a modern Garruk Deck I made and never made public (link on the bottom). But I made this because I wanted to make it standard.

hornet's nest is a nice standard card for this

I did look at hornet's nest. I didn't put it in because I had so many cards already. What do you think I should take out to fit it in? Also do you think I should take out the Elvish Mystic and the Manaweft Sliver in favor of other deathtouch cards or are they good in there for mana ramp?

once you drop the archetype you don't need as much ramp so id drop the mystic for sure u could replace it with venomous sliver so all your slivers could mana ramp and have death touch

I love the concept but may I suggest a couple of things.

1. 4 Archetype's is a lot when only 2 creatures don't have death touch. It's also vulnerable to back to nature. Maybe Liliana's Reaver is a nice balance and cmc
2. If you are ramping the caratyid is better due to hexproof and 3 toughness
3. I love Agent of the Fates but for full value I would include either gather courage or mortal's resolve for a nasty surprise
4. For extra jerkness perhaps add a dictate of erebos so when your chumps die they take out two for one

Thanks so much for the Suggestions!

1. Yeah. Liliana's Reaver may help, but I doesn't create creatures with deathtouch so for right now I don't think I'll put it in.
2. I want to keep the budget down. But that's why I have them in the Sideboard.
3. I like the idea but I'm not sure those are the right cards. I'll definitely look more into it. Thanks.
4. Yeah! That's a great idea! Thanks.
