Any way to {pillar of flame} proof it?

Sagemaster · May 21, 2012, 02:29:22 AM

And no messengers?

What happens if u use that zombie nym artifact? I'm not sure which set its from I Kno it's standard though. It's effect activates as the creature is destroyed for 4 is brought back so what triggers first?

{Geralf's Messenger} in a u/b deck is pretty hard to play it soon enough. And yes it is {pillar of flame} proof bc I am not afraid of it and im not running messenger.

If you want good milling cards to slot in here I would replace the {forbidden alchemy} with {dream twist} and/or {grindclock}

HandsomeStallion · May 21, 2012, 03:22:14 AM

{Grindclock} is scars of mirrodin, not in innistrad block. And I need zombies in my graveyard to make my {unbreathing horde} deserve it's place, which is why I don't run {think twice} or {dream twist} but thank you for the idea wally. Much appreciated

It's called {evil twin} and I did some hard thinking. Totally a side board card if I'm playing someone running {Sigarda, host of herons} muahahaha.

Actually I think Nicholas was talking about {Nim Deathmantle} which is from scars of mirrodin. It's good but I'm searching for innistrad block only for u/b zombies. Any other suggestions?

Oh yeah missed the block standard part of that sentence. Oops.

Here's another idea, tho you will need a higher percentage of creatures to make it more effective. Either with or without a {rooftop storm} you can use {otherworld atlas} to oversupply your hand, if you don't put them out you can always discard them. Also, not really milling the other player at the same time, but kind of by making their hand too big at the end of their turn.
Not really advisable against a red burn deck or white weenies, as a full hand for them means you game is over much quicker.

HandsomeStallion · May 21, 2012, 03:48:35 AM

Seeing the word "Atlas" just reminded me of another killer card out there. Remember {Grimoire of the Dead}, Wally? The thought of seeing the opponent's creature cards going into the graveyard, even before he gets a chance to draw them, only to be revived later to eat his brains is a nightmare isn't it? Man thank you for making me come up with that. {Otherworld Atlas} and {Grimoire of the Dead} = GG.

Wally · May 21, 2012, 03:56:30 AM

Haha yeah I did remember that one but I thought it was from a different set so I didn't even look.
Have a quick look at my zombie mill deck down below (it's the 2HG one)

HandsomeStallion · May 21, 2012, 04:06:22 AM

I'd be glad to thanks.

Hey drowned catacomb doesn't belong... I just realized that and I can see why messenger doesn't fit

{Geralf's Messenger} just sits in my hand most of the time, and that's no fun. You need cards like {mortar pod} as a Gatling gun, and {fume spitter} to make messenger have undying again. Good for mono black standard, but not innistrad blue-black standard. Which is why the zombie faction is good as Aggro-mil only.
