Title: My rats rule
Post by: Ertai on January 15, 2014, 04:27:39 PM
Land:

10x {Plains}
9x {Swamp}
4x {Orzhov Guildgate}

Creature:

4x {Bogbrew Witch}
2x {Cartel Aristocrat}
4x {Drainpipe Vermin}
4x {Festering Newt}
4x {High Priest of Penance}
2x {Ogre Slumlord}

Other Spells:

2x {Bubbling Cauldron}
4x {Gift of Immortality}
3x {Grim Return}
3x {Orchov Charm}
3x {Pharika's Cure}
2x {Read the Bones}

Let me know how I can improve this.  The goal is many different things.  I can either get {Gift of Immortality} on {Festering Newt} or {High Priest of Penance} to keep control. 

I would love to use this for FNM, but would like some criticism to improve this.

Not that I know of. I threw it together on MTGo as I was trying to build a budget standard deck. So far it's 4-1.

My problem is the mana curve. I originally had it 10 swamps and 9 plains but never drew plains. So I switched it. And it worked well.

I also think I need some pumps of some kind because it goes fairly slow.

I hear 11/9 swamps plains works well.

Here's a deck tech by the author- you two seem to have come up with virtually identical lists, barring his lack of read the bones, and him having an extra swamp and orzhov charm.

No love for {pack rat} and {underworld connection}s?  Also, I'd run some {devour flesh}s

Great idea! That devour flesh can do some great things!

There is a fun combo with  {Gift of Immortality} and high priest but that's not really meant for competitive thing I guess.

I agree with pack rat and devour flesh and I you can get one or two a  {Temple of Silence} will help you with scry and they are still at a good price
