Casual EDH - Mono black zombies

[trail canyon]

I'll paste this here as a reference: https://moxfield.com/decks/OP0sAJDTGEGGlJM-MEV6tw

I see that you're running the 3 card combo of Gravecrawler + Warren Soultrader + Bontu's Monument

@proud blaze are you around? I've been typing all day, my brain might kill me if I try to type more

[proud blaze]

Good catch, I'll probably avoid running that combo, I mostly want go aggro on the combat phase

I already have a combo heavy wilhelt deck that's starting to be too strong for my pod

[proud blaze]

I'm around but unavailable, spending some family time

[trail canyon]

Having one combo in the deck isn't bad but perhaps just keep it to making infinite zombies if you're wanting to go with the aggro plan.

[proud blaze]

I was mostly thinking of using grave as a way to buff zombies like Champions of the perished before sac'ing with Gisa

Thats my current Wilhelt deck, most cards are pulled from it

where's [[Fleshbag Marauder]]?

that dude is an MVP. Kills eldrazi all day long 😛

This is my main zombie, though I have others at lower power, but this has been my project since it was [[Thraximundar]]

Wouldn't Accursed marauder be better? Same effecti with lower mana cost, unless I'm missing something

[trail canyon]

In mono black, I'd run both tbh. 3 mana isn't a big deal but it also gets around [[Void Winnower]]

Oh that's filthy lol I've never played against that thing

[proud blaze]

Holy fuck is that your actual deck or your blinged it out on mox?

[trail canyon]

cause you're out of blue, and don't have access to Rooftop Storm, I've always found [[Praetor's Grasp]] to nice, but it might be too high power for the casual

Sorcery
Search target opponent's library for a card and exile it face down. Then that player shuffles. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled.

I can take a picture of it and show you that THAT'S how blinged it is

[proud blaze]

I'm amazed lol that thing is a work of art

[trail canyon]

I've been building it since 2010?

thank you, if you could give it a ❤️ that'd be really appreciated

😄

[proud blaze]

Done, still going through it and there's some cards I've never seen before lol

[trail canyon]

In the primer, there are a lot of alternate build versions

[proud blaze]

Even your Bojuka bog slaps lol
