Any thoughts on how I can improve? Cards I'm missing?

I've been fiddling with a Golgari Scavenge deck, too. Thanks for showing me Torpor Orb! I'd be more comfortable playing this without some of the one-ofs. No enchantment creatures, Oblivion Stone, or Gaze of Granite. Instead, I'd add Putrefy, Hero's Downfall, or Doomblade. The others either take too long to become viable for my taste, or stand too high a chance of messing with your own stuff (again, for my taste).Here are some other cards I've been considering, myself:Jarad, Golgari Lich LordCorpsejack MenacePrimordial HydraGolgari CharmGrisly SalvageGood luck!

Thanks for the advice! In a modern deck I find the torpor orb very useful both for me and against my opponent. I feel like I need some kind of board wipe in the main deck so I'm going to try and keep the Gaze of Granite but I'm dropping the O-stone (your right, it'll take way too long to pop) I really like the hurricanes to handle flyers and as a late game global burn spell. I'm definitely putting in the Primordial Hydras and Grisly Salvage for faster card draw and some beefy creatures. I'm also going to throw some Mistcutter Hydras in the side board for those pesky blue control jerks. I made a commander Golgari commander deck with Varolz as the general…..you should check it out. I wish many of those cards were in modern!!
J/K…..I took out the Gaze of Granite, going to add in another Treasured Find instead.
Yeah, Treasured Find and Grisly Salvage work well together. I'll look at your EDH deck on my lunch break. I'm just coming back to the game after about a dozen years away, so I have yet to delve into the Commander format at all. Dunno if I'll be able to offer any advice, but I'll make a thoughtful face and nod my head for you ;)On a side note, this becomes a decent casual Legacy deck by replacing Hunted Horror with Phyrexian Dreadnought. It actually makes it into play before being sacked (unlike Death's Shadow), and its triggered ability is negated with Torpor Orb. So boss!
NVM, I see you are already familiar with the Dreadnought, heh heh. Your $4k legacy deck is something else. I hope it works well for you.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I played a lot when revised was $3 a pack. I saved all of my old legends and duel lands, and thank god my mom put them in a trunk instead of selling them in a yard sale. When I went looking and did some research on what the cards are worth these days, I found a fortune.I've only been back since December 13' and am having SO MUCH FUN doing research and talking with people about where this game is headed. Commander has quickly become my favorite format. It's casual and exciting. You never know what kind of shenanigans will pop up!!
I would put in more cards that work with torpor orb or take it out, and I'm not sure about this but does torpor orb shut down your hydra? Great deck though, I really like the varolz and cards like death's shadow. :)
Thanks! Yes, I think the orb will shut down the hydra. I like to leave multiple options for a kill. I guess the Hydra should go and I'm going to add Hidden Horror in place of it. I like Hidden Horror and have been trying to work with that creature since it first appeared in the Weatherlight set. Now, I can cast it as a 3 drop 4/4 if the orb is out, or use it's ability to chuck a Death's Shadow and feed Varolz! I'm very excited to give this deck some runs.Thanks for the feed back!!!
I think only have 3 torpor orb because if you draw 2 the second is useless, and even if you draw one all the time it won't help you that much. :)
I'm predicting the Torpor Orb drawing a counter spell, if not game 1, then definitely game 2. If not a counter spell then some kind of removal and I want to use it to my advantage as well as mess with any activations my opponent my be looking to cast. Thanks though!
I know it's BBB in this deck but why not avatar of discord or something along those lines instead of hidden horror
Wow, yeah that's definitely a better creature for what I'm trying to do. Well, I guess I can put the Hidden Horror's back in the bulk box!!Thanks!!!
It's a cool idea and you should listen to that other guy about eater of days, it's an amazing card for the direction you're going in

What about Leveler?
Mr Cook- I've heard that you can't use Death's Shadow with your Torpor Orb, because it isn't a Triggered Ability, it is a Static Ability. *coughcough* all those wins because of that card and Torpor Orb. I call bs *coughcough*, also good luck wherever you are going to teach or work next year, and hopefully you will find a good card shop or people to play magic with.
Death shadow is designed to be eaten by varloz, not used by the orb. Torpor orb is for hunted horror and eater of days. Check out my legacy deck!! And I'm not teaching this year, I'm running ski shops in Boston.
I will take a look at that legacy deck, but you should take a look at my newer jund deck, It looks sort of similar to yours, but I think might have more mana ramp compared to yours.
