Deck Description

Still trying to work out the sideboard. Please give me some suggestions!

Also, the land base is NOT supreme. I was trying to keep this deck sub $300, so if I kept the fetches and more shocks then I would be well over 400, close to $500.

I want some suggestions on what to fix, or to change. I took the creature list from some already well established decks. In my 20 or so play tests so far (against voice of resurgence / kitchen finks, and delver) the deck has performed consistently. So far, I like the deck a lot. Only problem so far is scavenging ooze. Completely wrecks the mechanics of this deck (of course!).

SIDEBOARD NOTES:

Cards I really like:
Abrupt Decay
Stain the Mind
Gnaw to the Bone

Cards I like:
Ancient Grudge

Cards that I don't like but other's play:
Lingering Souls
Darkblast

How to Play

4 lands is key. At least ONE white source in order to get your win condition off. The land base isn't the best, but by running these lands I save lots of money.

Your two mana ramps PLUS an awesome discard mechanic are greenseeker and llanowar mentor. They allow you to discard a card from your hand (to get those dredge mechanics, put your win conditions into your graveyards) and then ramp you mana off of that. This means, they sometimes allow a turn 3 win!

Lightning axe and faithless looting also are great discard sources with great benefits.

Life from the loam returns your lands AND dredges. Value!

Gravetroll + Stinkweed are there for dredging. However, I found that gravetroll helped if I played him from my hand if someone was screwing with my graveyard (scavenging oozes eating my craterhoofs!)

Narcomoeba + Bloodghast = cheap value creatures to make huge with trample.

So how to win? You want lots of cheap creatures on the battlefield. Those are typically your mana ramp dudes, bloodghast (great synergy with greenseeker) and narcomoeba (easy to get on the battlefield when dredging). While dredging, you typically will hit craterhoof and unburial rites. Flashback unburial rites targeting craterhoof, making abunch of big dudes with trample. Swing for the win!
