-update to last post- This is the deck i run card for card and if you are attending FNM's you will be placing when you learn how to properly run the deck. this is also the deck that took Gran prix lille- sometimes i sideboard in 2 phyrexian metamorphs for 2 diregraft captains, when i feel like the captains are being underwhelming.. you have to consider that your sideboard choices are just as importan as your main deck

**Creatures 18 - 4x gravecrawler / 4x diregraft ghoul / 4x diregraft captain/ 2x phyrexian obliterator / 4x geralfs messenger (second most important card in the deck) **Spells/other 20- 4x geths verdict / 4x Tragic slip / 4x phantasmal image (this card works with geralfs messenger to make it the most important card in the deck) / 3x mortar pod / 2x lilliana of the veil / 1x sword of war and peace / 2x vapor snag OR 2x go for the throat **Lands 22- 4x Drowned catacombs / 4x Darkslick shores / 14x swamp
Its a fun concept; however you land flood yourself 90% of the time. to win a turn one you have to have this exact hand... 1 forest 1 fastbond 1 treasure hunt 1 island and 1 misc land. the lands are easy.. the fastbond and treasure hunt, not so much. 2/60 chance for a fast bond opening hand, 4/60 for a fast track. best case for this deck is to have a fast track ready to go and prey that one of the 2 fastbonds are next in line else you hit another fast track and are forced to discard your damage production.... great concept, drop 1 or even 2 mountains add 2 fast bonds.
looks like a fun mill deck. ill have to put the cards together tonight and run it. how's it working for you? - check my zombie deck out also XD
Fun combo to pull off here is with the unholy grotto, feeder and geralfs messenger. with or without the blood artist out. play the messenger for 2 damage, then sac him to feeder, giving feeder a +1/+1 counter. undying kicks in, he deals another 2 damage. Sacrifice him again giving feeder yet another +1/+1, and tap grotto to return the messenger from your grave yard to the top of your library. Continue to do this all you like. on top of the 4 damage a turn you will also be building a feeders power each turn by 2. -Another thing to consider, oblivion ring is the most played card today. you can sacrifice your feeder to its self should he become the target of such shinnanigans, and simple grotto him back to your deck. this works for any card they they should decide to attempt to ring.
