Help please I need board wipes
|
If you need board wipes, {Mutilate} is the obvious choice.
No {Grisly Salvage} or {Mulch}? 4 Lilly? No {Grim Backwoods}? Ahhhh!
Why would you use 4 Lilly's ever in a zombie deck? No rancors? No diregraf ghouls? Lilly's = too slow! 3 mana for Lilly or 3 mana for Geralfs messanger? Hmmm.
Run a playset of Woodland Cemetary.
I'd drop the {Farseek} as well. It's just not worth a turn two. Especially running 4 woodland cemetery's, maybe golgari guild gate. You should have plenty of land.
Could make it more aggressive with {Blood Artist} and some sac outlet creature like {Bloodthrone Vampire} or {Bloodflow Conniseur}. {Rancor}, {Diregraf Ghoul}, and possibly {Rakdos Cackler} are must include in aggro versions.
If more mid-range, try {Mutilate} as your board wipe with all those swamps. {Killing Wave} is not highly reliable of a board wipe. Also, {Deathrite Shamen} can take advantage of those extra instants and sorcery (I say extra since most zombie decks are more creature heavy). Also like the idea of the {Golgari Keyrune} but that may be personal preference since I am fond of the deathtouch on a stick.
Side in {Golgari Charm} and maybe {Neutralize}, enchantment like {Rest in Peace} really neuters a zombie deck. Also, figure something against Pro-black cards like {Knight of Glory}... they don't wreck Rock / GB decks as much as Mirrian Crusader, but comes close enough to be a main counter against zombies.
Yeah I forgot about knight of glory. He has been getting alot of play lately. It's gonna be hard to get some creature kill with GB. If I was you, you could go Jund or BR. Check out my BR Zombies deck and see what you think.
Thank you guys..I run a B/R haste deck right now.. And I wanted to put blood artist in here but I can't find him..I was also gonna put bone splinters..and I really don't have woodland cemeteraries right now they are kind of expensive
Lilly helps me control the field and hand..what do I lose if I discard? I just scavenge or cast gravecrawler.. I usually -2 her and they will swing at her..I let her die and just bring another out and start picking at their hand
What if you can't afford to discard?

I've got a contract for that, just {Sign in Blood}
What if you are at two life? Or hell even 4? Zombie decks are meant for 5-7 turn wins. Not late game. Late game zombies without cemetery reapers or gravetitan is a fail. But who knows. I ran them in mine and I'd have rather had another creature in hand.

It's really a personal preference I guess. You never want a card in hand to be a "dead" card. SIB can be helpful with Lilly that's all. Heck, it can be used as discard fodder for her if you're too low on life.
I usually burn my hand quick.. Lilli helps control wellllll..they have no cards in hand.. They have to top deck while I have a few creatures swinging away at them..if they do happen to pull out a creature I just -2 her and swing away..I gain a good amount of life with the shaman..
Lol I need to update my deck..it's a little different
