An idea I have been tossing around since I seen {Lotleth troll}.  It is like a cross between a Reanimator and Delver BUG.

Awe man, I like the scaab. I've posted a junk build that uses lotleth troll and liliana to fill in the graveyard and I also run 3 unearths. I think unearth is a solid card! I've also pondered the idea of running gravecrawler, he works good with lotleth. I haven't seen the blue zombie that you run before, he looks really good in this deck, I can also see a standard build similar to yours with the scab, troll, gravecrawler, and liliana...

I have been trying to incorporate {skaab Ruinator} in a good build somehow.  I will be play testing this when I get some time.

What's the {Gravecrawler} all about? I don't see the interaction.

Discard him with {Lotleth troll} and you can play him from the GY since the troll is a zombie as well.

I see how. So obvious, can't believe it was right in front of me. I've been playing RtR all week, the cards are all blurring together 😵

[cltrn81]

I am so testing this ... this weekend and that's final.

[El_snoope]

I agree this deck looks good, I picked up a set of  {Skaab Ruinator} to build around it. I'm not much of a legacy blue player but I'm shooting for a standard BUG list, then expand it to modern soon after I see how it really works. Thanks for the ideas man!

Have you tested this anymore?

[cltrn81]

Have you tested this anymore?

No have you? 

Side note: I met guypocolypse on Cockatrice and he helped play test the first spin.  He said he wanted to test it too.

I have been working on a casual variant that is less abusive and more fun......cuz counterspells, stifle, and wasteland = no fun in casual IMHO.

I cant figure out how to update my cocktrice with rtr, so no

Open oracle and download sets again.

[Guypocolypse]

Where is the oracle, and what do i ask him?

[Guypocolypse]

Cltrn, can you update the list?
