Deed is great when it works, but unfortunately that’s not nearly as much as this card works. Deed is a green card, and the best part about playing green is that the mana dorks are absolutely amazing. When you pop deed, your mana elves go with it, so for deed to excel you need to be playing a BG decks that doesn’t include too many creatures. That’s kinda tough.
Not to say that deed is bad because I currently run it because it is incredibly powerful, but it isn’t nearly as untouchable as you’re making it out to be. The card is good, but narrow. While this new card is super powerful and whatever the the polar opposite of narrow is.
Deed is sweet and I won't be cutting that. It doesn't go in the Gx mana dork decks. It goes in BUG or whatever control. Or in the planeswalker decks. It's just such a sweet card.
I cut Pulse a while ago because 3 mana just felt bad and the effect was redundant. But this will go in over Deathrite, easily.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

It's kinda sad now that the best Golgari cards are now only removal. For that reason alone I might keep Deathrite Shaman kicking around, and cut Abrupt Decay instead for the sake of variety.
I agree with the above poster. I think Deathrite Shaman provides something that isn't removal and for that reason will be keeping it. The cut will be Abrupt Decay.

I'm onboard with that. DRS must have a 100% main deck record here. It does so much for one hybrid mana, and I'm looking to increase graveyard hate rather than reduce it. That leaves Deed or Meren. I don't like using my multicolour slots for removal unless it's unique or really exceptional but this does definitely fit the bill.

Yeah, this makes me glad I kept Lotleth Troll in as a pet card for so long, cause now I have a non-DRS cut for this card =P
I'm not going to cut the more diverse GB spells, so I'm trading out removal. Decay, Pulse, or Deed. There's no right answer to this. Trophy is at the top, but what's at the bottom? I think it's going to come down to knowing your playgroup and knowing your cube. This is a great time for us because there's no right or wrong answer. I think this is one of the most difficult cuts I've ever made.
I'd be ok with G/B just being a range of great answers.
I agree. I included The Gitrog Monster as an attempt to help out a lands matter/graveyard shenanigans archetype. He's been fine and I personally love the card, but he'll be my cut. I'm totally ok with Golgari just being answers.section.
