Deck Description

The deck is Green/White/Black (G/W/B), or Junk, and it uses a bunch of powerful two-drops to fuel the Orzhov X-spell.

How to Play

You’ve got Voice of Resurgence and Strangleroot Geist. They give you a lot of value after they die, which makes them great against removal cards like Abrupt Decay and Searing Spear and board wipe spells like Supreme Verdict and Bonfire of the Damned.

Voice of Resurgence is especially good with Immortal Servitude. You can trade or chump block with it to get an Elemental token. The deck has a ton of creatures so the token is often huge. Then, Immortal Servitude brings back the Selesnya creature from your graveyard to block and make another token.

Cartel Aristocrat is hard-to-kill when you combine her with Strangleroot Geist and Voice of Resurgence. She turns on morbid at zero cost for Skirsdag High Priest and her sacrifice ability also interacts well with Blood Artist.

Grisly Salvage adds a combo element to the deck by filling your graveyard to make Immortal Servitude more devastating. Lingering Souls also interacts well with Grisly Salvage. The Spirit tokens from the card are great sac targets for Cartel Aristocrat. Plus, getting multiple creatures from the sorcery allows you to cause more life loss with Blood Artist and it makes it easier to activate Skirsdag High Priest’s ability.

The two “spell-lands”, Gavony Township and Vault of the Archangel, are good in the deck because it has so many creatures. Plus, you can find the lands with Grisly Salvage.

In the sideboard, you’ve got Abrupt Decay as a hate card to destroy Rest in Peace. Purify the Grave goes well with Grisly Salvager.

Putrefy does double duty by killing creatures and Witchbane Orb. The artifact is a problem because it nullifies Blood Artist’s ability. Thalia, Guardian of Thraben gives you a two-drop that slows down control.

Against Hexproof creature u can add Devour Flesh, or Geth's Verdict.
(((( 4xLiliana of the Veil BUT IT'S PRICY !!!! )))))
Gnaw to the Bone can be usefull against burn or insanely fast agro decks.
