Deck discussion for Troll of Asphodel

wha no grisly salvage it feeds your graveyard to fuel stuff like deathrite, whip, and ooze to use early game and its draw power in a black deck for only 2 mana it almost required. corpsejack menace feels really slow in here but I would sugest nemesis of mortals cause it can be an easy 2 cost big creature since golgari is all about the graveyard being full of usable stuff like creatures so even though nemesis of mortals is a 6 cost 5/5 it can be a 2 cost with 4 creatures in the graveyard

suggestion list for deck
-2x Corpsejack Menace
-3x Gray Merchant of Asphodel
-1x Ultimate Price
-1x Doom Blade
+1x Deathrite Shaman
+1x Scavenging Ooze
+2x Nemesis of Mortals
+3x Grisly Salvage

Sideboard needs some work Unravel the Aether does not supply any real help since abrupt decay takes care of any real threatening enchant or artifacts in a cheaper manner AND can not be countered examples listed below that you would most norlammy use Unravel the Aether on that abrupt could kill better:

enchants 3 and under most commonly used: detention sphere, madcap skill, Blind Obedience, Chained to the Rocks, Gift of Orzhova, Guildscorn Ward , Underworld Connections

artifacts 3 and under most commonly used: Bow of Nylea; Elixir of Immortality; Hammer of Purphoros: Pithing Needle; Springleaf Drum

ultimate price and doomblade are not as strong as other cards like devour flesh or abrupt decay and as such should not be used over them due to lack of versatility

suggestion list for sideboard
-1x Ultimate Price
-2x Unravel the Aether
-2x Doom Blade
+3x Witchstalker - great for decks like esper blue white control or blue black control due to its ability to get stronger when a blue or black spell is played on your turn AND it has hexproof making it harder to deal with
+2 Treasured Find - its versatile in the fact you can grab anything you want from your graveyard and place in your hand for only 2 mana making it a great combo off cards like grisly salvage and discard effects like lotleth troll or pack rat so you can discard something you don't need right then and there and grab it later for when you do.

WOW... ...it's been a while since I saw some1 around here who actually puts effort in a suggestion!.. ...thank you very much, sir!

Unravel the AEther is mostly for gods, but it's not nessesary to take those out, when the Devotion is cut off... ...& Gild can also do the job...

The Troll may feed my graveyard just fine, tough some Grisly Salvage might could help as well... ...I've considered it before obviously, but this isn't that kind of deck at all... ...tough I'll try if it helps.......

Witchstalker is a very good idea & I can't imagine how I haven't thought about it... ...I thought about Treasured Find, but I only go with it, if I decide to use Grisly Salvage...

I'm not gonna' use Nemesis...

Doom Blade & Ultimate Price are very handy at times, when I have only 2 open mana & the opponent playes a Stormbreath Dragon for example... ...I don't like to have too many Devour Flash in a deck, if it's not a mill deck... ...this is any aggro deck, so letting the opponent gain many life just might cost me a victory... ...I'm using only 1-1 of both Blade & Price in the main deck, because of their lack of versitality.......

This deck builds a little on black devotion & Grey Merchant is extremely important here... ...when I suffer from multiple removal from my opponent, if I can surprise him/her with only 1 of these, I'm on a comeback most of the time... ...it's really working with this aggro built.......


Thanks for your help! You really know a thing or 2, so I'd be glad if I could "hear" your opinion on my #1 tournament deck!..
