go at your opponent early denying them cards using the likes of despise,then surgicaly extract the quick stuff from the deck, then an early smallpox, they loose a little of everything like the card says and it takes some recovery, hopefully my deck can cope, low casting cost vampire's boosted by the blade of the blood chief, and then creatures which continue to kill off what my opponent plays as they come into play never really letting them get going. played it great 1 on 1, multiplayer however, it didnt really stand up, as it burnt out quite early,with this in mind the vengeful pharaoh is great to throw away with the small pox and as i run out of cards it leaves me a big creature i can draw from the graveyard, later on, there are various ways to work him into the gy,the Nihilistic Glee lets me throw him away and lets me draw a card so i never get stuck in a cycle of just getting the pharaoh back and not drawing nothing new, help with this one please.

I think creature wise you have plenty but would try to get in a 4th Pharaoh just to be sure you draw one there very good and i would also go to 4 x despise because i think its the spells that really make this work, it would be even better if you had the artifact that when you put a spell under it it becomes a permanent one then perhaps you could play less and copy them i forget what the artifact is called but im sure you will know
good comments; i do like the despise and yes your right its the spells which hit hardest and yes a smallpox under a scepter wiuld be sick ! lol, and your rijght could poss run less, i do like however that this deck flows with quick playing one of spells and takes no setting up like the artifact route would, although admitidly not much, theres defo a whole deck concept with the smallpox and the sceper your refering to, i think you may be right that 15 creatures is enough considering the bloodghsats come back and the spells also deny my opponents cards and the amount of kill in here, should all serve as equalisers, everythings quick as well. i am normaly on the attack first with this deck, and the pharaos also take a few cards to make them work, so i dont have the space for x4 they are really in here for turns 5 - 6 where this deck tends to burn out they give me decent breathing space, so i am happy to wait a few goes to draw one, early game i want all my hand to have quick stuff so seeing a pharoh in my peing hand is not great so i feel 3's the right number, they are very very good though you are right ! thanks for the comments dude !, much food for thought. anyone who checksmy decks should check yours dude youve been churrining out somegreat ideas of late !
I like this man! Very similar to my seek and discard deck! I however, totally disagree with Greg5605. The pharaohs are nice, but having more than one is a pain. Every game I've played that I've drawn more than one, I've just been disappointed when I top deck it. 2 at the most... Also, they cost 5, and with a Smallpox and only 20 land... you may never get the land to play him and he'll sit in your hand until you can discard him. BLOODGHAST! 4 of them! ALWAYS! (Reassembling Skeleton is also good fodder for the Smallpox or Glee engines) Inquisition of Kozilek is a better choice than Despise I think... It'll keep them off the cards they can drop in the first 2-3 turns and it's not limited to creatures or anything. If you have Smallpox in hand, an Inquisition will remove a 2 or 3 drop on turn 1, then turn 3 Smallpox will keep them from going onto land #4 and getting out of that Inquisition range. The only other thing i can think of is go easy with all your discard spells... It's nice to get them out and get rid of threats, but you are also taking up space that you could be using for threats yourself.
Oh, and one more thing... Mortician Beetle.
hi mate, thanks, the pharaoh is a bt of a quandry as to include him i gotta run at least x4 cards to make him work, i think however that the Nihilistic Glee would get round the probem of drawin more copies of him that and the smallpoz hes simle enough to dump into the graveyard, and if i keep drawing him due to them attacking i can still get a card with the glee, athough it will cost me x4 pumped int the glee to do this, but i do think ive allowed for that proviso, however even though i wsnt a fan of preators grasp in other decks i can see its worth in here, im denying opponent of all manner of stuff with this deck but its all fairly random to go and pull key cards with the grasp bearing in mind they havealso lost through all the other spells and the pox i think is a better play than the pharaoh and im not running x 3 Nihilistic Glee to make hm work freeing up more space, its a bt of a switch but see what you make of the edited version as it now stands, thanks again
im now liking the extra blooghasts, yes defo a play set needed !, the x3 blades and the viscera seer's so i'm sacing the ghasts, boosting the equiped creature and adding more fast vamps into the deck., they should have few blockers and ive got a lot of kill, so i'm denying them cards stripping the deck and playing the aggro role with my creatures, its all pretty furious.
still want to work the mortican beetles in (especially now) andget down to 60 cards.
beetles are in shame there not vamps really but feel this deck now has sufficent creatures and spells and if anything is a bit quicker than before !
I'm assuming this is for Standard? If so, use Duress over Distress man...it's a little faster and makes a bit more of an impact. Fetchlands are awesome with Bloodghast, so maybe consider running a few of those. I'm not so sure about Mortician Beetle...you have sacrificing effects, sure, but I don't know if you have enough to justify the Beetle =/
many thanks, i'll experiment with the fetch lands, sure they'll work well with bloodghasts and i dont mind leaving the sac land in play till i need the mana as everythings cheap here, the reason i was convinced by mortican beetle is that its any player so a smallpox will put x 2 counters on it i believe and, they also grow as i kick the gatekeepers, there also fast and i'd een consider sacing them just to boost a vamp equiped with the blade of the bloodchief, id drop them for an awsomely quick vampire i think but think i have the best ones in here already so hence while there there, i'm open to ideas of replacments though ?, now i know you know your stuff when it comes to these type of decks, so i'm not tempted to really go against you, but i have to say i like how the deck plays in terms of the despise hits a creature then the duress follows next turn and takes anything, this way ive nullified 2 options i appreciate the duress is cheaper but it seems limited in compariosn, if i hadnt got the despise i'd say yes its a better cheper spell, but like i say i wanna limited them as much as possible. maybe duress or inquision of kozliak is a better choice than despise ?, but again i think i'm more likley to come up against a creature in someones opening hand than something with 3 mana or less, such as a quick drop creature, its all very close and proberly about preferences i think, but like i say im open minded, further thoughts ? many thanks as always.
oh and any advise on what i can drop to get to 60 ?
Do you think you could work in yawgmoths will possibly or dont you think it would work ??
i presume you ean order of yawgmoth they are nice but i think 4 mqna is to much this deck needs to cope with the smallpoxs.
I don't really haven't something to suggest, but I'll give you my 3+1 likes because I think It's great!
ha ha why thank you !
I really like the way this runs. I even added smallpox to my Sacrifice deck v2. I had a questions though, Are verdant catacombs in there just to sacrificed with small pox? check out my updated sacrifice deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=230500
no just to help bounce back in the bloodghasts a bit more often the decks not mana intensive so i can afford to sit and wait with the catacombs in play, cheers, and yes i'll check your deck
Ahh, haha i got now. might try something similar... if they wernt so expensive, maybe a terramorphic expanse. The land come into play tapped but hey can help that
yea imean with the ghast your letting it sit there most of the time till you ready to sac it better if dosnt come in tapped but in a low cost mana deck like this and yours the expanse should do the job just fine.
Hey man. Been a while, i came up with a standard legal smallpox deck i would like you to maybe check out and give me some help on. Thanks. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=238893
A well constructed deck and the Mortician Beetle works really well here. Only thing I would advise against is Praetor's grasp, as such specific removal doesn't really seem necessary when you already have Distress, Surgical Extraction, and Despise. Viscera Seer seems like a dead draw to me, so I would suggest you replace it with another Mortician Beetle and another Vampire Nighthawk. Also, if you are going to use the zendikar fetch lands to remove dead land draws later in the game, you might as well go all the way and drop 4 swamps for 4 marsh flats. Other than that, have you considered Geth's Verdict? Hopefully you can take a look at my new aggro slivers deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=282699
