Main Deck (64 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Tempting to make a Graveyard-to-hand/Graveyard-to-Battle type deck. Hasn't really turned out the way I wanted too. Any suggestions?

How to Play

Send creatures to graveyard from library. Make your own hand as you pull from Graveyard.

Deck discussion for Quick Death

So you want to roll mono black, just so we're clear on that? First thing we want to do is clean up your creature list. There's just too many singles and just weaker creatures that aren't worth your time running for that. Let's see what we can do.

Bloodhunter Bat is not worth the 4 mana you pay for him.
Crow of Dark Tidings? For 3 mana, we can find you something better.
Phyrexian Hulk runs you 6 mana, there are much, much better cards than that for 6, black, artifact, or otherwise.
Renegade Demon doesn't bring you anything other than a 5/3 creature that dies to Bolt. Let's get you something worth your time for 5 mana.
Vampire Envoy doesn't do much for 3 either, not really.
Wailing Ghoul, eh, probably not great at 2.
Walking Corpse? Nah. 2/2 for 2, no other abilities? We can do better.
Warpath Ghoul, again, does no other effects. Let's drop that too.

Couple things you can consider running, if you want aggro and graveyard recursion from them. Pick whichever you like best.
Gravecrawler
Bloodghast
Bloodsoaked Champion

They are all 1 or 2 cost and let you play them from the grave, with slightly varying effects.
For 3 mana, you can consider stuff like
Vampire Nighthawk
Gatekeeper of Malakir

There are spells that let you directly put creatures on the battlefield. Stuff to consider:
Beacon of Unrest
Dread Return
Necromantic Summons
Unburial Rites
Exhume (highly recommended if you don't care about the format of your deck)

Let's find you some bigger creatures
Desecration Demon
Demon of Death's Gate
Griselbrand (haven't looked at his price recently, but he's really good for a reason)
Dread
Wurmcoil Engine
Massacre Wurm
Nightmare
Rune-Scarred Demon

I hit a mental roadblock, been a long day at work. Just another quick glance over, I don't think you need Vile Rebirth, or the Black Knights. I have a UB reanimator deck. It's a legacy deck geared towards competitive play. I haven't touched it in awhile, but you can probably get some ideas that I just can't come up with right now from it. Entomb/Exhume is a pretty strong combo if you draw it, Entomb is not a budget card though.

I just noticed I haven't updated it to what's actually in it right now, I'll grab it and do that, hopefully be done by the time you go look.
