Deck discussion for Old Golgari

I'd go for Maelstrom Pulse instead of Putrefy.

Hmmm, suggestions.....

Well, first I'm overjoyed to see the Golgari, as they were not only Ravnica, but they were also PLANT ZOMBIES.

Guess I'll start with Spells first this time. A card that goes really well with the Golgari state of mind is Nature's Spiral (1G, Sorcery). For 1G, you get to return ANY card to your hand from your graveyard, much better than your Recollect there. Last Gasp was one of the better creature kill spells to come out in Ravnica, sheerly because it was 1B to give -3/-3, a godsend in the beginning of the game. Now, Giant Growth is a nice, multipurpose card, but there's other cards that'll work just as nice, such as Prey's Vengeance, which gives you the Rebound.

Enchantment time! I see you have the Gift of the Deity in there already, a excellent choice. Maybe more, say 2-3? Moldervine is neat as well, but there's other cards that'll work too, such as Canopy Cover to insure damage, or Primal Cocoon to build up a baddy to release when it's got enough counters on it.

And now, the creatures. My first issue is Stinkweed Imp, a good base card to help your curve, but too expensive for too little P/T. Granted, he has Deathtouch, but there are other cards with Reach/Flying and Deathtouch now, as well, and are more agreeable to your power needs. Vampire Nighthawk is very effective, a 2/3 with Flying, Deathtouch, AND Lifelink. Skysweeper: EXPENSIVE cost for an ability. And really, you don't need him. I'd honestly just toss him for another Brownscale or a newer, meaner critter: Skeletal Wurm. Better than the Rotwurm as a 7/6, and with the added bonus of B: Regenerate.

Actually, it was me. You inspired the idea for it, so thank you as well.

How about buying a few Unearth's. For (B) you can return target creature from your graveyard to play with CMC 3 or less. Disentombs are similar, for (B) you return a creature to your hand (in my opinion thats much better than the above nature's spiral because the deck is heavily creature based).

More Doom Blades would help, as they are incredible creature control versus non-black decks.

In terms of how you don't like the sacrificing creatures, try getting a few bloodghasts if you don't mind spending a money (7.99ea.) as they can be repeatedly sacrificed and returned to the battlefield.
