You know, this is actually pretty damn solid. Curious, why do you only have 1 of each, Darkslick Shores and Drowned Catacomb? Id 4x each one, drop your islands down to say...5, your swamps to 7 and that will free up 3 slots and give you better odds of getting the desired mana. Id also throw in thrummingbird (3x) to help that proliferate. Otherwise nice!

You know, if it didn't come in tapped - OR I had more black creatures period, I would for sure. That is actually a beautiful card and I think I will have to think on it.

Thanks DanielN!
You know, I never saw Oversold Cemetery before - I like that one a lot. I think if I were to make this mono black - it would be a must!!! Not sure what I would drop to put a pair or so in....

I dont think I will use Zombiefy just because it costs more mana to play than any of my actual creatures (not counting DB Throctar). Id probably just put "return to hand" cards in instead. But you are right, with large creatures, pfff, whats 4 mana!?!?!? Maybe I should work on a separate deck that uses some of the big bad asses black has!

Thank you for the comment and suggestion. You are right, they do not fit the theme, which inadvertently became modular. I love them 'cause they are semi unblockable and if they are built on, they become an additional win option that really does not cost me anything.
But I tend to agree with you none the less. The question is, with what...

And Khabal Ghoul is certainly an upgrade on Mortician Beetle

Hmmm just discovered Cephalid Broker, I think he works perfectly in this deck. I wonder, if I should start adding in more Cephalids - Cephalid Looter is the one that fits best, but they seem like a fascinating tribal all the same...

Personally, Id drop Sign in Blood in this deck, it really does nothing to add to your strategy. Same with Rebuff the Wicked and, one of my hands down fav cards, Hymn to Tourach. Drop them all. I recommend throwing in Child of Night, Vampire Nighthawk, and Souls of the Faultless. Just a suggestion though.

Give my deck a look over. It is no where near being done, but I am working on whenever something grabs my attention.

Thank you David. I actually agree with you. I had it in this deck when I it was initially created, but found too many other good cards that force my opponent to draw/discard. Something had to go, and as is, I wish I could have 80 cards in it without slowing it down. I will (continue to) think about it, but I think Anvil of Bogardan is more effective in a straight discard deck. But once again, thank you!

My pleasure on the advice. I certainly have appreciated yours. And, very true about the imps....I like that they ding ya every time a spell is cast and am not aware of any other card that does that (other than Painful Quandry, but I decided it was just too expensive manawise). Ill have to think about what to replace the imps with...something equally annoying.

Thank you!

Hmmm. You know, I have to agree on getting a 3rd Sedaxis, but I am wary of taking an Abyssal Nocturnus away to do it. He could be devastating in this deck. Blightning, though insanely powerful, might be limited in this deck - just based on the fact that the opponent may have no cards to discard. I think that is the swap I will make - and give it a try. I have to get some more ink before I can proxy this deck out and give it a real trial.
But huge thank you sir!

The Infect was simply another nasty thing I had in there to make my opponent not want to 'touch' me. But your right - Virulent Swipe is infinitely sexier (and fits with the theme)! In fact I like it so much, I think I will put 3 of them. Not sure how I didn't think of it before, I have had that card bite me a couple of times.

Hmmm like the idea of using Mimic Vat! You will have to speed the deck up though, highly recommend some smaller artifacts. I dont know, I dont want to start picking you deck apart, as I can see the method to your madness. I just think your deck would work a lot better if you were a lot quicker. At the very least, Id drop some of the heavy 5-6 mana cards for 4X Etched Champion, maybe 4x Ichorclaw Myr or 4x Steel Overseer

That said, I am fairly new to creating artifact decks and am not yet sold on the whole Scars set yet.

I have been fighting with the whole concept too. Please give mine a look over and Id sure appreceate any advice you could offer! I know I have to add in a couple of those vats

Hmmmm very cool - as always!. Personally, Id think about adding in Sharding Sphinx, could be nasty in this deck (though it would defeat the whole meek theme....). Id also up the Glaze Fiend up to 4 (can be NASTY when played with a bunch of cheep artifacts), and same for Cranial Plating. Mox Opal would be a great addition to your Mana source artifacts. Oh, and since you have islands, why not add a little protection with stoic rebuttal?

Personally, I have just recently had my ass handed to me by a modular deck and I am in love!!! I havent tried the one I created yet, but I think it might work with the artifacts I already have (and you have too!). Give it a peek please, I always value your opinions. And I need to think of a cool name too....

Not bad - certainly needs an upgrade since M11 ie, Lilliana's Caress for Megrin

Id recomend temple bell if you opponent has no cards and you want to make them discard. Also, the rack and wheel of torture work better than Quest of the Nihl Stone.

I wouldnt mind your advice as well. Please feel free to comment. Any help would be great

Wow - this deck is awesome! Truly awesome. I love it because I have been concocting the same premise, but you just did it MUCH better! The only addition I could think of adding would be a Stillmoon Cavalier - gives you some options if you need to get aggressive quickly and first strike is as good as regenerate if you have deathtouch . Also, although it would slow you deck down considerably, Grave Titan would be a nice bomb - though admittedly, not necessary.

If you wouldn't mind tweeking it, or offering any advise Id appreciate it. Thank you!
