iMtG Server: Gathering

Walking Dead (BUG) 70 cards, 10 sideboard 3 {Cavern of Souls} 4 {Overgrown Tomb} 4 {Watery Grave} 4 {Woodland Cemetery} 4 {Drowned Catacomb} 3 {Hinterland Harbor} 1 {Grim Backwoods} 23 lands 4 {Gravecrawler} 4 {Slitherhead} 4 {Diregraf Ghoul} 4 {Lotleth Troll} 4 {Diregraf Captain} 4 {Dreg Mangler} 4 {Geralf's Messenger} 2 {Notion Thief} 30 creatures 3 {Garruk Relentless} 4 {Whispering Madness} 7 other spells Sideboard 4 {Dryad Militant} 2 {Liliana of the Veil} 1 {Vraska the Unseen} 3 {Spell Rupture} 10 sideboard cards

 {Whispering Madness} is prolly one of my favorite uses in this deck as most of the time I play my entire hand by turn 4, don't really Cipher it onto a creature, just use it to reload my hand. Has come in awesome against the couple control decks I've tested, draw anywhere to 3-5 cards.

Still need some sideboard help.

There is no reason not to cipher it. You don't have to cast it you may cast it. Not ciphering it is a bad move.

{varolz, the scar striped} would be really good here. Also I would recommend some removal spells, if you can't afford {abrupt decay} in the new set {putrefy} is an uncommon and amazing for you colors.

Should thorw {Varolz, the Scar-Striped} in there not a zombie but works well

Not really a big fan of him, but as for {Abrupt Decay} have 3 in the sideboard and debating on {Sever the Bloodline} as well as {Tragic Slip}'s.

But I'm not trying to repeatly dump "my" hand, I suppose throwing in on my 1 Drops to force blocks couldn't be a bad thing.

-1  {Garruk, Primal Hunter} from the sideboard. The 3 forest is too clunky for your mana base.
+2  {Garruk Relentless} to sideboard.
+2  {Ground Seal} to sideboard

My buddie actually said the same thing about Primal Hunter, thank you man, keep Liliana & Vraska in the sb still?

I know you are not trying to but if you end up with an empty hand you can do it again for free.

Changed it up a tad bit more, playtesting later when my buddies get here.

No blood scrivener?

Have yet to pack one, deck is of cards I have right now, but {Whispering Madness} does a good job of keeping a hand, could see bringing him in against mirror/blitz decks tho.

Varolz would make dumping your hand very beneficial. Just saying...

I agree as well. Just try losing like 1 {dreg mangler} and 1 {diregraf captain} to give him a try

Do i drop {Diregraf Captain} for {Blood Artist}?

I'd rather play mangler or messenger so far on turn 3, artist would help my curve a bit better but him having deathtouch has clutched it for me so many times.

Still working on sideboard.
Playtesting has been a blast so far.
