Deck Description

This deck utilizes the Planeswalker Vraska, the Unseen. As well as loads of deathtouch critters.
The goal of the deck is to get your battlefield lined up with lower casting cost deathtouch creatures to defend yourself until you get Vraska into play and built up. Your creatures are basically cannon fodder to remove your opponants creatures and clearing the board.

You can utilize the ability of Rogue's passage to make one of your assassins produced by Vraska to become unblockable. Or you can build her up until you can drop her -7 ability, cast killing wave (clearing the board of ALL creatures then popping her off, giving you 3 1/1 assassin creatures, then swing on your next turn.

I have updated this deck, in hopes of stream lining it & making it more effective. The Main deck construction is what i am playing with as of now. But I want to tweek it a bit more. In the sideboard section are the cards i dont have yet but want to add into the deck.. Below are the cards i want to add, as well as the reasons for such additions, and what i would trade out to include said cards.

#1 - Typhoid Rats x4 - their low cost &deathtouch is awesome. {would trade out -1Thrill-Kill Assassin, -1Dreg Mangler, -2 Sluiceway scorpion}

#2 - Mwonvuli Beast Tracker x2? - Ability to fetch a deathtouch creature.. why not lol {trade out -2 Thrill-Kill Assassin}

#3 - Revenge of the Hunted x2 - {Trade out -1 Prey Upon, -1 Revive??? not to sure yet)

Deck discussion for Vraska's Touch

Just a few things.

1: I hope you know that prey upon will only hurt you as it will ignore your creature's deathtouch and get them killed.

2: You may like the cards Dread and No mercy. They will compliment your deck in that you can openly swing, they lose their blockers and will still lose their attackers without you having to block.

3: Thrill kill assassin and Sluiceway Scorpion is horrible. I'd go with Mwonvuli Beast Tracker over the scorpion as a cheaper creature that'd search you any creature you wanted at the time. Useful early and late game. And I'd go with -3 Thrill kill's and put it +1 Glissa, Ambush viper, and knighthawk for sure.

4: Completely optional but I feel the Blood reckoning will slow down the deck. By simply having the three of these gone and the 2 prey upons gone, you can add in the cards listed in #2 or put in more killing such as killing wave and whatnot making your deck more solid.

Hope this helps. :)

This deck is pretty good I like what you've got going on here with all the Deathtouch.

I like your take on how to use Vraska I see a lot of things that our decks have in common. The only thing I would recommend is switching out Revive for Treasured find. Treasured find cost one black and one green and it lets you pull out any type of card from your graveyard instead of limiting you to just green cards.

Other than that I think it looks good. Golgari Charm would also be a nice addition in case someone plays a spell that destroys all creatures. :D
