Deck discussion for Bruise Undead

Can't say I understand the mortor pods but I don't play standard so maybe I'm missing something there.

The mortarpod is a very versatile artifact, but it is indeed mainly for standard. Its ability to be dropped for 2 mana then sac'd to deal 1 damage to a Snap Caster, Delver of Secrets, Dark Confidants, etc, makes it a great removal tool.

Its true potential shines when combined with a Gravecrawler and a Blood Artist.

-Sac Germ Token, 1 life gained, 2 life lost to opponent
-Attach Mortarpod to Gravecrawler, sac it, 1 life gained, 2 lost to opponent
-Re-cast Gravecrawler

This combo nets me 2 life gain and 4 life lost to the opponent. You can also combo the mortarpod with Geralf's Messenger; gaining 1 life, dealing 5 damage to your opponent and having a 4/3 put on the field (Assuming a Blood Artist is down).

The combo is really a mid-game / late game answer for getting around tough situations where my fast zombies lose their steam. But as I said before, I primarily use him for sniping creatures, I see a lot of Delver decks in my local meta.
