Title: Ghost Council of Orzhova Help
Post by: darkarts981 on February 13, 2014, 05:42:19 PM
What are some good cards to put in a deck like this? Mainly looking for ways to sac creatures, creatures to sac, or things that respond to creatures dying. Developing a deck list at the moment.
{Ghost Council of Orzhova}

 {Obzedat, Ghost Council} is IMO better because you don't have to sac a creature th remove it it does 2 damage instead of 1 and it only costs 1 more then the other one
other then that {Grave Betrayal} {Gravepact} {Martyr's Bond} {Butcher of malkir} and {Twilight Drover}+{Field of Souls}

Obzedat is better as a creature, though there are a lot more combos when I am able to sacrifice creatures. I am not interested in having a commander that is a better creature, but one that is able to help with combos.

Maybe some sort of token strategy?

Probably what I'm going to end up going for.

Also, my previous post came out a lot harsher than I intended, so sorry about that.

My Obzedat EDH deck is a lifegain and drain theme. It's quite fun to play, and surprisingly competitive. It's another possibly way to go with him.

I understand what you are going for. all the cards if my first post other then the commander change will give you lots of spirit tokens and some are for stealing creatures for you to sac and so on.

If you are going with a sac theme I would include {Teysa, Orzhov Scion} also {Butcher of Malakir} and {Grave Pact} are great to help punish your opponent. If you have the funds {Bitterblossom} is a great card in this kind of deck. {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed} is nice if you are going to be sacing non token creatures. On the subject of non tokens {Mimic Vat} should be an auto include. I also like {Heliod, God of the Sun} because he pumps out creatures to sac. Also anthem effects are nice if you need to swarm your opponents. {Spear of Heliod} is one of my favorites just because if you need to kill that big creature that just did a good amount of damage to you, you can. That's about all I got atm. Good luck with your deck :)

Yeah, the {Twighlight Drover} synergy wasn't something I had thought of yet, so that was helpful.

Also to NightWolf's post, I really wish I had the finds for {Bitterblossom}, but I'm not really in the market for that. Other than that, thanks for the suggestions!

A nice {Blood Artist} is good ;)

{Sorin, Lord Of Innistrad} for token generation, possible graveyard recursion, and Planeswalker emblem support. (Your deck won't load in Deck Builder for me, so forgive if you have this already)

The Sorin is a good idea, and sadly enough I didn't even consider adding Blood Artist.

Also, there isn't a deck there. It just has the option to "load in deck builder" at the bottom of every OP in a deck thread.

Going down a white black token route for EDH:

{Intangible Virtue}
{Attrition}
{War Report}
{Springjack Pasture}
{Storm Herd}
{Grave Pact}
{Army of the Damned}
{Phyrexian Altar}
{Phyrexian Rebirth}
{Phyrexian Soulgorger}

Just a few of the many off the top of me noggin
