thank you for your suggestion, and you are right, just putting in garruk would be better... I had vraska in there to deal with heavy mana enchantments, but i can just add gaze of granite now for the effect. much better removal altogether anyway. but paranoid delusion is nice because coupled with invisible stalkers and deathrites, they give me source of dmg or life gain and sometimes mana.

actually... all my friends HATE this deck 'caz it's annoying stall and counter and just overall slow... XD
unfortunately slumbering dragon only gets a counter when opponent's creatures attack me. so dramatic rescue wouldn't help to much. cyclonic rift is good, but it's a bit too expensive for the overload cost. but thank you for your comment
heh thank you for positive feed back.
oh and btw, BUG stands for black, blue, green. I'm mostly sure you knew that, but felt like throwing it out there XD
might need increasing vengeance... i am assuming you want to ping the other guy to death while dealing small damages through invisible stalker...
brrrr scute mobs... :(
you could try to replace hero's reunion with thragtusk. sure, it's more mana, but you get a creature out of the deal, not to mention possible token
Thanks for suggestion. I also contemplated putting shadow slice in here... but my more immediate concern was more control than quick kill. I had a different version of this deck where i had "Jarad's orders" and 4 augur of bolas so i could search for invisible stalker. but that deck was weak against aggro... so I decided to add in more control aspect in the deck.and i wish there were bug type creatures in standard that fit this deck... but oh well XD
i say replace blood artist with thrull parasite, thrull parasite can do more than bloodartist can in about 2 turns. and just in case type of board wipe is always a plus, planar cleansing or merciless eviction is always a good choice. and corpse blockade is good, but since you have weakness against flying, putting in a flier might help, i usually like vampire nighthawkhe has flying deathtouch and lifelink. all around good card. and finally immortal servitude to play those geralf's messenger again couldn't hurt either ;)
well dread slaver is nice, but it can't beat 4 CMC 6/6 that can stall like a champ. the little zombies with scavenge will kill all the tiny ones, and sometimes take care of big ones with deadly alluretragic slip is in the sideboard, and abrupt decay and murder is nice, but not sure what to take out from my deck
well 1st, you need better mana curve. you have too many 5+ CMC card compared to 3 CMC. second, a lot of those zombies are weak, and not that many comes back (undying/gravecrawler/etc.)third, your deck will suffer a lot just like my zombie deck against flying. 4th, you need some more instant/sorcery/enchantment that you can use when you want to deal with 4/4 or higherand for 60 card deck, you want at least 20~22 mana, your deck is 1,2 CMC heavy but you have quite a number of 5/6CMC so i suggest 21 lands
need some help here, a bit weak against decks like exalted or flying heavy decks...was thinking about adding towering indrik... but wanted to stick heavily to zombies
