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

This deck fishes out alot of swamps, then does things because of the lots of swamps.
I find this deck works especially well against black.

Deck discussion for Lotsa Black Mana

this deck seems kinda all over the place, i c the swamp theme but with only 8 ways to get more of them its gunna be a pretty slow way to win. nightmare incursion doesnt seem to fit in here. i c its potential but it really doesnt help the theme your going with. also i would sub out infest for damnation

i would go with dknight on that damnation is better, you also may want to consider more than 4 creatures in your 60 card deck. i cant believe im saying this but nightmare you could add for your theme also maybe add tendrils of corruption its a cheaper version of corrupt but it only hits creatures. nightmare incursion is an awesome card but idk if it goes with this. seems like it would suck to go against which means its doin its job

yoiu don't need that land searching mechanic thingies
really a 22 land deck should play enough lands don't focus around the lands too much korlash is good even without land search support

you deffinitely need more creatures, specter? and soem disruption would be perfect

With the theme of lots of swamps I'm suprised you didn't include a couple Nightmares.

Nightmare
Creature - Nightmare Horse */*, 5B (6)

Flying

Nightmare's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Swamps you control

I once made a deck based on Shadows and maybe I have some commentary on this deck:

*It needs more creatures. Korlash can't handle everything alone, great as it is. It doesn't have any combat ability, being just a big guy breaking everything on the battlefield. But you can only have one of them at a time, so it's really dangerous. Nantuko Shade is up for the task. Nirkana Revenant, too, maybe?
*Bubbling Muck and Cabal Coffers, along with Urborg, destroy everything. You generate mana like crazy and, maybe, more mana output makes for less Swamps (i.e.: not needing Wanderer's Twig).
*Drain Life is, against all odds, safer than an Aura.

This is actually a VERY old version of the deck (October '09 ~ish), it has evolved since. Reminds me, I should post the latest version now that I finally got Lashwrithes :)

So you can't play it in Standard, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander, or Pauper, who would pay almost 200 dollars for a kitchen table deck?

And if you swapped Demonic tutors for diabolic, or mastermind's acquisition. You could play it in several formats.

Holy crap, you guys necro'd one of the oldest, if not the oldest version of this deck. I've actually made a LOT of changes to the initial idea and even use it in Modern from time to time, just for fun. Current version can be found here:

I was bored. I went digging through your decks, and found the first one you posted, which happened to be this one. :D
