Deck Description

I really think that Mortis Dogs is an underrated card. So I decided to make a deck based around it.

How to Play

The basic idea of this deck is to pump up a mortis dog with lashwrithe, toss a dying wish or two on it. ATTACK! If you have some exalted out it will pump him up even more. After the attack sac him with altar's reap or disciple of bolas. No more dogs left? Victimize geralf's messnger to bring some back along with geralf himself. This is such a fun deck to play.

Deck discussion for Mortis Dogs!

Looks decent.

Like the idea that you have a way to kill off Mortis dog, yourself. That was a good decision.

I like the idea of the draw spells. I would take out Dark Prophecy and add in another Sign in Blood Or Phyrexian Arena
Maybe add a search engine to get out Mortis dog faster, just in case your draw spells do not get you what you want. Maybe Diabolic Intent?

A weakness I see is that you need to run removal. Mutilate is awesome. Lashwrithe with Mutilate is nice together. It would kill off most of your opponents creatures and leave you, with luck, with only your pumped up creature still alive.

Why I say you need to run removal, like Mutilate (hint, hint) is because your deck (even with Dark Ritual/Sign In Blood) is slow to build up. A strong token or Goblin deck (another hint, hint, check out my goblin deck http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/goblin-death/) can have 10 or more creatures out on turn 5. You need to be able to disrupt your opponent.

Probably would take out the Ragers for 3 Mutilates, that would be my best advice.

All in all, good stuff. Liking it.

Thanks for the advice Jessie. I think I will probably add another Phyrexian Arena to this deck, and maybe some card search. I'm a big fan of card synergy. Mutilate is a great card. I use it in my Massacre Wurm deck. If I start having problems I might toss some in here. Thanks for checking out my deck!

Yep. It was just that, advice. Not criticism. I tried to determine what deck you would have trouble against. I thought you would have a tough fight against a fast creature deck. One good way to counter their threat would be something like Mutilate, Murder, Terror, etc.

Maybe this deck will get as many likes and comments as your last one! Good luck.

Thanks Jessie. I know you weren't trying to criticize. You were just trying to help. Luckily most of my friends decks are also slow build up decks with cool ideas, so I have time to get my combos off. One of the best parts about Magic is helping others improve their decks, so thanks again for the ideas. I'm about to post up my discard deck. Check it out when you get a chance. If there's anything you think I should change or add let me know.
