How about a stormkirk noble as a 1 drop? I know you only have 8 black sources but he is a vamp. I'd probably add fume spitter tho, can sac him early to kill mana dorks or delvers. ditch the 4x deadweights for 2 SOWP or Blood Artist
I play against a guy weekly who runs similar deck list to this. If I were to change things I'd add the new LIlliana who can fetch swamps make it mono black add SOWP / Lashwrithe R/B does have an advantage but I was just trying to maximize Nocturnus. Most of the time first strike isn't really needed because you have a nighthawk on the field who shuts down most aggression.
I use to run something similar to this, laswrithe is an absolute bomb to drop. that + nighthawk or obliterator = gg.
I like, I was going to do something similar to this. How does this deck do against U/B Delver?
llonwar elves is good with the other elves, can get 6cmc critters out on turn 4. may want rangers guile or something to make your hydras hexproof so they dont get snagged o targeted by some destructable spell
lol smh. gl finding a 2of 8cmc as a win con without green sun or beast tracker and 4 elves as a ramp.
I agree with chbrutus 1. I'd say just run as is unti you get your cards. Than repost with what you got / make a new deck.
no green sun , strangle root geist, wolfir silverheart, dungrove, thrun, evolving wilds?! 2x craterhoofs... gl ...
I'd drop the Obliterators to 2 if your meta has a lot of control, or dont expect them to hit the field and stick. Lashwrithe + Obliteartor is GG but more often than not, overkill. I keep 2 on my sideboard, and more often than not, they're not needed unless its against Wolf Run or Mono Green. I play zombies too and this is what I'd do -2 Obliterators -1 Tragic Slip -2 Duress -2 Cemetary Reaper -1 Swamp +3 Blood Artist +3 Geth's Verdict +1 Laswrithe +1 Lilliana of the Veil as far as the SB - 2 Mutilates - 1 Lilliana of the Veil +1 Surgical Extration / Sever the Bloodline / Memorcide - since youd be MB 3 LIlliana + 2 Black Sun's Zenith and depding if you side in Laswirthe or not, I'd mainboard the Cavern of Souls. Just my .02
Alright heres what I'd change... -3x Ring of Xathrid. Too slow and you gonna get bounched if youre playing a blue deck. -4x Gravedigger. Worthless in this deck IMO. You're going to want to aggro most of the time, he will slow it down +3x Geralf's Messenger. Best card in this deck, nothing that isn't good about this guy -1x Phylactery Lich worthless. Don't count on this especially a 1 of. +3x Cathedral of War -3x Diabolic Tutor -1x Faith's Reward -4x Disentomb -4x Murder - go for the throat is better. No one plays TS much anymore Get removals those are just for starters. Idk how much you're willing to spend or what cards you have.
ditch the priest all together. He slows your deck down, and its not useful as you think.
true but there is a lot of removal from every color. A game ender no doubt, but after they see the deck / understand what the deck's key cards are, a clever sideboard will make short work of it. just my .02 on it.
I played against this deck a week ago in FNM. 2-1 me using zombie pod. You need to splaish another color in here, flying vamps with life link just prolong the game, not finish it.
Id swap for Phyrexian Obliterator myself, or highborn ghoul
I like this! I also have a tempered steel deck, but its pretty generic. if you had etched champion in here, wouldnt he come into play as a 2/2 instead of a 1/1 if you controlled 2 other artifacts? He would have protection from black
Ok thanks for the suggestion! -1 spell bomb +1 myr. I'll make it official when I get home.
It's a handy draw card as well as good for graveyard exile. Good for zombie match ups, undying (they hit the graveyard before they come back), but mainly for delver and flashback. Last FNM I got hit by 4 bonfire of the damned in a single game. Not gonna happen again! And snapcaster w vapor snag is annoying as all hell!
Thanks! Kinda both. I chose metamorph over image because I can copy artifacts too. Usually I'll hold off before I use it on my own creatures to see what my opponent is doing / what type of deck he is running. Copying a Geralf's is good too cuz than it comes back with a +1/1 counter on it. ex. one game it was GW/ Humans and I copied a blood artist right away. He whipped out a Mirran Crusader and just went to town on me :(
