The Vengevine and Primal Forcemage are excellent. But what about the rest of the creatures you pull back, I'm guessing you couldn't find anything green or black that gives field haste?

that was exactly it, which is why I pulled out the primal forcemages.
vengevine is a good card in general, but it requires you to cast the two creature spells, so creatures being put onto the battlefield from an effect doesn't count. Vengevine should be replaced. Other than that, I like the deck
Agreed, Demigod of Revenge fits much better in this case.
I want to see a certain demigod... right MEOW

So, I was looking at this, and I realized, that I have no way to get a Crucible of Worlds, or Zuran Orb back to my hand if I should happen to accidentally Dredge it to my graveyard... Thinking about this, I realized this is a bad thing, because I want to be able to dredge and get stuff to my graveyard, so I can then selectively pull it to my hand... This was basically the same problem I would have if someone destroyed my Crucible of Worlds after I sacrificed a lot of lands to play Worm Harvest... I'd be screwed and stopped dead in my tracks. That's when I realized, there happens to be a new creature that allows me to put artifacts in my graveyard back into my hand. So, Lo and Behold, I added Glissa, The Traitor to the list. I think, this deck has finally reached its own point of perfection. Thank you to everyone to who helped with suggestions and minor comments. They all helped inspire this work of art. (That's how I see it anyways)
Proxied and Play tested the deck on my own... I was very unimpressed with Grave-Scarab, It wasn't really doing anything... ever. I was also surprised to see that Harrow was almost never played, since in this deck, Realms Uncharted and Life from the Loam both pull land better. (Life from the Loam because I can dredge my deck.) So both of those got cut. In their place, I put in Butcher of Malakir and Carnage Altar. While the Butcher is expensive, Mana is not a problem in this deck. Like at all. If I have a fetch land and a life of the loam. I never miss a drop, and I'm able to pull land straight from the deck. So both cards fit better. Carnage Altar allows me to simply sacrifice a creature... (Say Golgari Thug?) and draw a card. Which means I can activate dredge if wanted, or draw the creature I put on top of my library. And, if Butcher is out, my opponents sacrifice a creature, opening the way for the horde of creatures I'm creating. That was another thing. Once a Bloodghast either hits the field or the graveyard, it doesn't go away. The same is true for the Demigod. Opening the field up via Butcher, ensures I swing through for more damage. Also, the worm token production gets ridiculous, not only from the liege, but from Worm Harvest. Pulling two 3/3 worms is a nice trade for six mana, and it just gets better, the more cards I have in my graveyard. I would either have an army of bloodghasts and Demigods just slamming into my opponent, or worms over running them. sometimes both by 7th or 8th turn. The deck is Aggressive, explosive, fast, and doesn't run out of gas unless you run out of cards. Which can happen if you go 20 turns or more...

Nice deck. Looks to be plenty of synergy here and some really nice interactions. Glad to see somebody has found a decent use of Glisa, Realms Unchartered and Carnage Altar. I love that land doesn't seem to an issue here at all. I totally forgot that Overgrown tomb was both a swamp and forest. Very useful indeed!
I think it looks pretty good actually. a fun theme. the only cards i could see you using is golgari grave-troll and maybe disentomb. good work!
Nice deck.. love those Bloodghasts!!
Maybe you should consider Lord of Extinction. He is a boss.
I just might, I do get plenty of cards into the graveyard via dredge and other mechanics.
What about Reanimating Skeleton? He can keep coming back without the use of anything else! (except mana...)
and what exactly would I use him for? Blocking? sacrifice fodder? Bloodghasts do that well enough as it is and just by putting a land into play. I considered him, but it's actually a little out of place here.
