MTG Salvation

Add in Ronom Unicorn and Kami of the Ancient Law for some bears + removal.

Conjurer's Closet was a blast on the prerelease tournament with it. Dude went up to 120 life!
aside from that, anything that blinks it, together with some tokens/cheap creatures, would give you a lot of life.

Probably pretty lame, but a fun deck to screw around with would be to just have as many bears as possible. bear cub, runeclaw bear, and cards like grizzly fate can just swarm over someone with bears. pack in something like naturalize can give the deck a wee bit o tech to deal with pesky stuff. Its not all that effective but its simple and fun to do a bear vs bear battle.

Bear decks are fun. I got a couple made up for awesome fun casual times.



I like to use my grizzly bear cards as tokens.

Death's Shadow would also work well. Kinda want to make a death's shadow deck right now.

I'd want some evasive creatures with recursion to wear the Bonehoard after the Germ token dies following a Wrath effect. Some ideas:
Blinkmoth Nexus
Bitterblossom
Nether Traitor
Bloodghast
Dregscape Zombie
Viscera Dragger
Garza's Assassin

Undercity Informer lets you set up a mill turret to fill the 'yards with critters. Not a terrible idea to hit yourself with it if you play lots of evasive recurring dudes.

Hope this helps.

Probably want either some trample or other evasion givers such as

• Rancor
  
• Whispersilk Cloak
  

Those two are just a couple examples I could think of right away, plenty more to choose from, but I definitely feel like it wants between 4 and 6 of these type of effects since it is awfully easy to chump the large bonehoards/mortivores w/tokens or some other small things.

I agree with the above poster about the creatures after wrath...I think blinkmoth/Nether Traitor/Bloodghast are the best for this since they are the ones most easily used/they can be recurred multiple times (in bloodghast/traitor's case at least) plus blinkmoth has a pretty low opportunity cost here. Also agree about Undercity Informer ... a great card to set this deck up.

Traumatize is probably pretty good (as a 1 or 2 of...we want to keep creature concentration pretty high for our game-plan), but remember to cast it on yourself if you absolutely do not know what your opp. is playing (since they may be creature-less or have just a couple utility guys.

Golgari Grave-Troll would probably be a good fit for this since he acts sort of as mortivore/bonehoard 9-12 while helping to fill your grave and being a recursive beater.

Throw in a few sweepers (they should be extra good since most of your creatures can be recurred) and you should be good to go.

Ah yes, an old favorite and a near-staple in goblin decks. It's expensive casting cost makes it a crap choice for the average goblin deck, which tends to run more 1 and 2 cmc goblins than anything else. But it's ability as well as its ETB effects make it a game changer at the least and a game ender at the most. I run it in my Krenko Strike deck and see much use out of it. Usually, I either Goblin Lackey one out turn 2, dump it a turn or two early with Goblin Warchief/Skirk Prospector, or secure it for the kill with Goblin matron/Goblin Recruiter/Goblin Ringleader. It is by no means the win condition of my particular deck, but it certainly helps with reach. His ability has a nice synergy with Goblin Sharpshooter too.

Here's where I use him:

For infinite goblins: Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Alter + Siege-Gang Commander
If you add a Phyrexian Altar you get infinite damage as well.

I would run it with Sleeper Agent, Batwing Brume, and Stronghold Discipline

I'm a fan of Rakdos Charm. Adding R cuts the cost of Stronghold Discipline to half price and adds other modes? Sign me up.

[CARD]
Thunderstaff[/CARD] and/or Crawlspace let you clog up your opponents with the usual 1/1 token generators, and the Charm carries you home.

Twisted Abomination is a go-to for me in black mid range and control builds that aren't sporting green.

I like to play cards that can get a bit of mileage out of the card in the yard.
Curving up; Cruel Revival, Zombie Apocalypse, and Molten-Tail Masticore each squeeze a different effect out of the cycled corpse.

I'm slowly accumulating cards for an Enchantress deck (specifically designed to be weird rather than a more efficient tournament list).

So the plan is to use Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Roots of Life, and Spreading Algae with everyone's favorite Argothian lass. Oh, and it will be mono green even with the Tomb and Crop Rotation offering B.
