MTG Salvation

Rotting Regisaur! So much want! Discard and Zombie. And Yarok, the Desecrated looks fun. Two Zombies, two triggers off everything.

What about a Facebook group to continue this?

What about Kindred Dominance? Doesn't get around indestructible but I have Cyclonic Rift.

Not really getting the chance to play my Sidisi deck much. When I do it seems to get rolled by one of the more expensive decks before it can get going. I can say though that Path of Discovery is great in it. I lost a game today because I totally missed a trigger off Underrealm Lich and the Path when someone did something which made everyone discard their hand and draw seven cards. I should have drawn 21 cards essentially, made a ton of Zombies, all Exploring.

One thing I've been considering is dropping in Bontu's Last Reckoning as a poor man' Damnation though. Also considering Avatar of Woe and Scourge of Nel Toth as possible answers.

Finally got to take my deck out for a spin last night, and I won! Survived a couple of boardwipes before dropping an x=18 Empty the Pits and using the -3 ability on Liliana, Untouched By Death to cast things like Zombie Master, Diregraf Captain and Cemetery Reaper. At that point everyone scooped. Second game I got rolled by a massive Hydra on turn 5 and that was it...

Am I right in assuming that you can change Lazav on the fly whenever? So you could change types in response or in the opponent's end step?

Yes, it's an activated ability; therefore, you can use it at instant speed.

It'd be funny to use it to copy Lazav, the Multifarious and then use the ability of that to copy another card.

And if one did that, wouldn't Embalmer's Tools work as well? So the Necrotic Ooze has the ability of Lazav to pay X to become a creature in the graveyard but the Tools makes it X-1?

I'm probably going to dump Reclamation Sage, Gravecrawler and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet for the Lich, Lazav and Ooze. Just a final question though: doesn't Taigam, Sidisi's Hand cancel out the Lich? Taigam says you "skip your draw step" and "put one into your hand", and the Lich says "If you would draw a card".

Getting myself Underrealm Lich, Lazav, The Multifarious and Necrotic Ooze, that's about all I can afford at the moment and they look fun.

It seems everyone loves Assassin's Trophy. Just looked at the price. Yikes!

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Open the Graves + a sac outlet = Zombie Madness.

Question: with Liliana, Untouched by Death, Rooftop Storm, a sac outlet like the Husk or Phyrexian Altar, and something like Vengeful Dead, you can immediately go infinite, can't you? Activate Lili's -3, sac everything, cast them for 0,repeat.

Thanks. Just basic lands? Or any good sort of cheaper dual lands?

Nantuko is there for a sac outlet with Vengeful Dead, Diregraf Captain, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Plague Belcher. And Josu instead of Grave Titan although I can see that he's a bit niche. I was thinking Splendid Reclamation is a bit superfluous with Muldrotha, The Gravetide and World Shaper.

Right, I'm getting close... This is where I'm at, it's been quite restricted by budget by managed to trade for a lot of it. Just need some help doing the final cuts and if there are any other cards I should definitely get:



So I'm at 103 at the moment... I know it doesn't follow the usual path but as I said it's been about budget, hence why there's no Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, or the expensive lands. I know you're not big on Josu but he's sort of my Grave Titan. Perpetual Timepiece is one of my graveyard protection things instead of the Eldrazi, and it sort of does a mini Embalmer's Tools effect. Risen Executioner seems weak I think.

I guess Graveyard Marshall is just shooting yourself in the foot (or worse). I was talking to someone about the M19 cards and they couldn't see how Open the Graves was better than Liliana's Mastery. And then they complain that I only do Zombies... They don't understand it. Like how great Stitcher's Supplier is.

Are we allowed to talk about the new cards? I'm quite excited about the set from a graveyard perspective. Lots of nice ones, not least the reprint of Death Baron. As mentioned, Stitcher's Supplier looks great, as does Graveyard Marshal and Open the Graves is a great replacement for Liliana's Mastery. I'm not sold on Phylactery Lich yet though.

What's the thinking on Josu Vess, Lich Knight? Seems getting to ten mana shouldn't be too big a deal? Along with Rooftop Storm it seems like a beast as you can cast it for 0 and then just pay the 5B kicker cost for the eight Zombie Knights.

Played a couple of games of Commander with a different deck. Just wondering now about including things like spot removal, board wipes, artifact hate and ways to save your graveyard from being exiled. Is it worth including things like that and if so, what's best?

Some cards I'm considering at the moment are Perpetual Timepiece to protect the GY and can also help fill it a bit, Thrilling Encore or Golgari Charm to protect against boardwipes, and maybe Reclamation Sage needs to be in there? Or am I being too cautios? Maybe Bojuka Bog to shoot down other people's graveyards?
