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

I normally only play EDH but I like keeping one deck up to date and this is an updated version of my standard G/B. An aggro theme centered around Lotleth Troll and Varolz. Any advice is welcome, probably need the most help with the sideboard as I just put in cards that might be good. Also unsure if Desecration Demon would be better than Nemesis.

How to Play

Start off early with Lotleth, Salvage to get creatures in the yard to scavenge. Someone told me that Nemesis of Mortals costs less to scavenge when it's in the yard, really the only reason it's in there. Any advice is welcome.

Deck discussion for New Attempt at Standard

Nemesis is a good choice for this deck over Desecration Demon because it plays better into the strategy you're going for. For the sideboard I'd suggest some more things to deal with flyers because your mainboard can only deal with them using removal. Also, Think about how your deck might fair against the horde should you play against a deck that spams tokens. First strike can also be a huge pain. Play testing will be you best tool of discovering what you need most. Just remember, this isn't an EDH deck, you should consolodate some of your cards so you have less variety of cards and more of each of the ones that work well. I'd suggest dropping a few of your 4 costers and filling the gap with something cheaper ones to start, but it's your deck.

I saw that I had a serious problem against fliers in playtesting and assuming I can get Varolz out they are better than Deadbridge. Moved the last Read the Bones to the main deck so I can dig through the deck easier. I was looking for more creatures to just pitch to Lotleth and I found the Cackler. Being able to play him early or pitch him late is great. Also, shifted the ratio on the lands to favor black more. I took out the Rescues because although cool and fun, not the best.

Sounds pretty good, I would like to say though, you won't regret having more Reaper of the Wilds in the deck if you add them.

I decided to keep them in the sideboard so if I need them they're available. I found that turn four I'd rather refill my hand or leave up regen mana.
