I'm building a casual deck with Deadbridge Chant as the theme. I am using Paradox Hazes for multiple upkeeps, Rot Farm Skeletons to get more cards in the graveyard and Withered Wretches to weed out the lands from the graveyard. Just curious as to suggestions for what else I might want to put in there. I have some Duplicants and Fleshbag Marauders for creature control and a few ways to sack my creatures back to the graveyard. As of right now I'm running 4 Creekwood Lieges cause they work with the Paradox Hazes so well. Any other ideas?
Wow .... you guys are reading my mind! Usually when I want to ramp up with green I use a Wood Elves and Skyshroud Claim combo. They both let you put duel lands into play untapped ....my fav mana fixers and they get you to 6 or 7 mana pretty quickly. Unfortunately that takes up 2 'slots' of cards (4 each) and the deck is already kind of weak on removal (which I prefer to be strong in). I had planned on using Dark Rituals for the ramp since I'm running black too. I actually pulled out Birthing Pods to put in it ...but had them to the side cause then you have to pick creatures you can 'pod' up to in casting cost. Primeval and Grave Titans were in mind, but right now it's a lots of 'one of's' such as Craterhoof Behmoth, Penumbra Wurm, Sheoldred. I had a couple of Doomgapes in there but with the multiple upkeeps you would have to be sacking multiple creatures to it so that fizzled out. The Withered Wretches let you get the lands out of the graveyard so only mostly creatures come into play. I run 3 Acidic Slimes for non creature removal ...and if those keep coming back in play it's awesome as you run through their lands. There is always Spirit Monger too. Choices....Choices...
There's a sweet article on the mothership here. You can use Loaming Shaman and Painbringer to get rid of the junk in your graveyard, then use Time Warp to win.
I love this card. I've actually been running 1x MB and 1x SB of a junk deck in standard, to great effect. Against anything other than aggro, it does wonders.
I don't own any entombs but Buried Alive's are already in there .... more mind reading going on. I guess I should have posted everything I have put in it already. I like the Withered Wretches cause they are a bear (quicker casting) and can get stuff out of your opponents graveyard too. I could always take the Creakwood Lieges out and put in more fattys. Creatures that do stuff when they come into play, or removal creatures (Avatar of Woe, etc)then ways to sack them to get them back in the graveyard. (lands like Miren the Moaning Well or Grim Backwoods). With green/black I have access to putrefy, Pernicious deeds or the new Granite Gaze for good removal ...but then I have to take out creatures.
im building a similar deck. i like lord of extinction and jarad, golgari lich lord for sending creatures back and fourth from the graveyard. deathrite shaman clears graveyard slowly as well but with a few more options. any takes on it?

I draft and play EDH. If a Standard player can't understand who a card is for, it's probably for me.
I also write things about good films.

I don't always post about Rafiq of the Many, but when I do, I cardlink to the original artwork, and not the supplementary product version.
