Hi all! With Halloween around the corner, and the weather getting chiller, I thought I'd try to make Frankenstein style deck with the cards from the Innistrad block, known as Skaabs or Stitchers.
So this deck is designed to play your Skaabs or Stitched creatures, and slowly just beat them down. Still tinkering with some of the cards, for example, looking to add some way to get cards back, and just be a bit faster.
22 land is WAY too low if you have 9 drop in the deck.
You might look at Necromancers Stockpile. Its got a neat synergy with Skaab Ruinator. Basically you can discard it to stockpile to get a token and draw a card. Ruinator can be cast from the 'yard the same way it can from your hand so it doesn't really matter. I would also run only the Skaabs that put cards into your graveyard and none of the ones that require exiling in order to make sure Ruinator is castable.
Gravepurge could be helpful as well. Its kind of a nonbo with Ruinator though but it can put you back in the gas in a pinch. Worst case scenario you choose not to put any creatures back into your library and just draw a card.
This is slightly more aggressive with a lower curve and more consistent with regular card draw. Technically Stockpile is raw value when you discard Screeching and Ruinator. Its the same mana cost as Screecher but a better body and draws you a card. Ruinator is the same in your graveyard as it is in your hand. I added some interaction with your opponent. The only other thing is I would try and find some other 1 and 2 drop zombies to add in the last 5 slots.
The following link is an invitation to join Pucatrade (card trading service though similar to TCGPLayer). If you follow the link then it awards me with tokens to exchange for actual cards. Thanks! https://pucatrade.com/invite/gift/86097
