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.
is this that one "BOSS <censored> WITCH" deck from reddit?

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.

Well this combo seems to be pretty popular. Haha.
Thanks for that!

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
