Deck discussion for shirei

Hmmmm...could it be Sacrifice and renewal. Yup! This one is all about using your army of ants to pull off amazing feats and having them bounce in and out of the battlefield. Perhaps you could try something like Damnation instead of Hex (If you Darksteel plate your commander Damnation is better)? Just spit balling.

Thanks for the description, I knew if I left it alone for long enough someone would help me out. I have no idea why I am using hex instead of damnation, it's been awhile since I last looked at the deck and when I post older decks I am usually in the zone and don't pay attention to anything except getting the deck online.

Ashnod's altar is a must. Bridge from below would be pretty good too. And you could go the exsanguinate route for another mass kill option. I am a little surprised blood artist is not in there, seems this deck is just his kind of canvas. Some instant speed graveyard to hand spells (death denied, grim harvest, reaping the graves, etc...) to avoid graveyard hate. You know by now I love lifeline. Also I like carrion beetles over martyr of bones. Oh and of course you could always go with endless cockroaches, that card is always waiting to be exploited into shenanigans.

I like the deck, it seems to have an interesting turn on the graveyard recursion. I would have to look at it a bit longer to see if I had some other suggestions, but it seems like it is a really solid foundation.

I have been out of the world for a bit with work and a friend's wedding. I will be looking at comments and posting a new deck if I can get the final pieces together. Also have the Animar deck down to an average turn 5.5 infinite combo. Just need to invest in a few cards (why did I trade the survival of the fittest all those years ago!). I'll get at you later today!

Okay that sound good to me, no need to rush. survival is only 24 dollars and some change, I have one I will trade to you, lol. Now back to business, lets focus on the deck. I thank you for you comments first of all, this is another of my decks that is a bit older and needed an upgrade so I will look into your suggestions as always. Yes I am aware that you do enjoy your lifeline, I think I would enjoy it in here as well, I don't have one though. Damn, I sent my foil modern masters bridge to an online card buying site for store credit. And I am happy to hear that the deck we worked on together is working out well for you. Okay enough talk I am going to post a new deck now.

I might choose Phyrexian Altar over the other but the exsanguinate + ashnod's would work well together. Ah blood artist would be beast in this deck. Reaping the graves would indeed be a nice addition and grim harvest is already in here. The beetle does work with the theme of the deck but I was thinking perhaps organ grinder. Endless cockroaches, that's some good stuff right there although I don't have it so it will be on my wishlist. Thanks for the help Jester, looking forward to the newness (deck that is).

When I first built the deck the online dealer that I usually get singles from was out of hell's caretaker. As I said in an earlier comment the artist would be beast in the deck. The noble does kinda the same thing as the artist so it would be beast in here as well. I will admit I have been lazy and most suggestions people have made about my decks have not been added, but they are listed so I can go back to them at some point and stitch the decks back together (new cards included). Thank you kmk and everyone else for the advise.
