Considering dropping one Gilt-Leaf and Joraga for a couple Beast Withins. I need help deciding, though! Please someone help and give me feedback on the deck as a whole. I'll return the favor!

This is a pretty neat deck. Lots of variety and flexibility with all sorts of graveyard tricks and burn. Seems to embody the spirit of Rakdos well. How well have you done with it thus far?

Well, Bonesplitters certainly wouldn't be a bad card in here, but I wouldn't do a playset of them and totally scrap the Student since yes, he is my one-drop. Maybe an even two-and-two split? I did have Hero of Bladehold in the deck instead of Kinsbaile Cavalier but honestly, the Cavalier hits the board harder more often than the Hero does. It surprised me considering I've always loved the Hero but, more times than not, she just wasn't as effective as the Cavalier since he changes the board state quicker than she does. Thank you for the feedback!

That example is flawless. I honestly don't understand why I haven't thought of enabling a girl to the point of alcohol poisoning while playing Circle of Flame before :P

This is a deck to be proud of. Very inventive and original; I love it!

Could be good. I think one important thing with EDH is not tailoring the deck specifically to your commander. I don't know how many cards you have in here just for your commander, but I've always been in the EDH camp that tailors the deck to just be beneficial as a whole rather than to one card, because commanders don't stick around all the time, you know? But that'd be my advice, if a card really only benefits Krenko rather than the whole deck, it's probably not worth the slot over something more universal.

Yeah, I'd say he's a solid addition.

By the way, who the hell do you have to give a reach-around to get on the front page on this site these days? This has 12 likes, I don't get how it isn't on there yet.

Ah wait, I just looked at it again and they're all recent decks. Oh well.

A much more fluid version of a similar discard deck I tried to build but couldn't quite nail down not too long go. But that was prior to the awesome Waste Not was around. Might have to give it another go now. Awesome deck, dude!

Valkarut is nasty in here, I can dig it. For creatures, this deck needs Goblin Piledriver and Siege-Gang Commando at least. Also, Voracious Dragon could easily be a win con late game.

I think some wraths are important to have in EDH decks as well, so Blasphemous Act and Chain Reaction are good candidates.

Some card draw would be good as well, since Slate of Ancestry and Faithless Looting are really your only two draw cards right now. Goblin Lore isn't great but if you find yourself without a hand, it could be alright; Knollspine Dragon is a little costly but pays dividends; Wheel of Fortune is great and Wheel of Fate, it's poor-man counterpart is good; Mind's Eye could be good here too.

Finally, if you ask me it's a crime that Braid of Fire isn't currently in this deck. There are all my suggestions, brah. Hope they help.

Personally, I would shoot for more Gobbies and less superfluous stuff, like a good chunk of the artifacts. I run 25 vamps in my Olivia deck and it works well for the tribal. Goblin Grenade is a favorite goblin card of mine but it isn't here :/ I like the Krenko's ability abuse you have in place, though, so keep at least those artifacts because that makes it fun. I like what you've got here and what possibilities this deck has to get strong still. Good job, man!

I like the idea but I feel like this deck runs better with just Izzet colors. Red Sun's Zenith can exile dudes for you with enough mana and Lightning Helix can be replaced with any two-drop you prefer that also does multiple cool things, like Magma Jet. But hey, if it runs smooth enough for your liking, who am I to try and stop you from getting to pull some crazy jank-ass shit with this deck? Good deck, man!

The Redcap wouldn't be bad, but there are other four-drops I'd rather have than him if I were to try a squeeze some room for another one, like the Charbelcher, for example. Although the combo you described would be cool to pull off, no doubt about it! Thanks for the suggestion and like, man!

All fine suggestions for a zombie deck and all cards I took into account, but the problem with Zombie Master is that he isn't a friggin zombie, man! Although the tastiness of Urborg and him is tempting, I think it might be more consistent this way. However, since I haven't tried it yet, I'll playtest a decklist with those cards in it and see if I like it enough to maybe give it a go down the road. I love Cabal Coffers too but it really isn't conducive to an aggro build like this. Thank you for the suggestions!

Warren Instigator didn't make the final cut due to its price at the time I made this deck, but since he's gone down in price considerably I could reconsider him. Warstorm Surge is a good card but too overpriced CMC for this deck. Krenko's Command was in here but I replaced it with Mogg War Marshal since he's one-less with the Warchief and is a good late-game card if I need to keep him around to die and replace himself. I totally overlooked the Charbelcher, though. I remember coming across that card quite awhile back; it's fucking awesome! Might have to make room for it. Thanks for the suggestions, mate!

I like Door of Destinies, don't get me wrong, but I personally would probably only put that card in either a tribal-based EDH deck or maybe an elf deck. It works great for tribal but, as you can probably tell, when it comes to 60's I like to keep them very fast and that card doesn't really lend to that strategy well enough to merit its inclusion here, in my opinion. I picked Mutilate, for crying out loud, over better wraths because a) I had them but b) besides breaking the bank to buy two Damnations, it was the lowest-costing wrath I came across. That's just how I prefer to build my 60's, fast with low CMC bell curves.

Here is the inspired version of this deck I mentioned yesterday that I'd make. If anyone wants a bit of an alternate take on this type of elves deck, please feel free to comment or leave suggestions on this deck and any of my decks!

Wouldn't want to shamelessly advertise without thanking you for the inspiration, Northy! Might be the first time I've commented on one of your decks but I peruse them all the time. As I've seen it proposed numerous times by other admirers, you are definitely a Magic hero, man!

Almost as adorable as this: http://37.media.tumblr.com/e02cd00506feabd0baaf1b2d1f231b70/tumblr_n0yceckBxr1qia2dho6_1280.jpg

Used to have an Ajani lifelink kitty deck I should probably reprise since my wife loves kitties :D Anything to coax the better half into playing, right? Another great deck, man!

Well, I spy with my little eye a few Huntmasters now in the decklist :D Haha. That's cool, I think it makes a much more immediate impact to the board anyway so it's not a bad trade off. You're welcome, man, always happy to help. I shall pass the message on to them!
