I'd suggest building this deck to anyone. It is great. Really.

[Ghebert]

-1 {Terminus}
+1 {Defy Death}


I had a few games where I would have Terminus in my opening hand or draw it second on a turn due to {Merfolk Looter} or likewise. So I decided to run one. Since its not a huge deal and I'm constantly drawing cards.

[Ghebert]

So I just ran into my first big problem with this deck.

If I have {Sheoldred, Whispering One} in play and also another one in my graveyard; if that's the only creature in the gy I HAVE to return it to the battlefield. Thus, killing both of them.

[Ghebert]

-1 {Terminus}
-1 {Mutilate}
-1 {Defy Death}
+2 {Timely Reinforcements}
+1 {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight}

-1 {sheoldred, whispering one}
+1 {griselbrand} ?

Still wondering if you were working on fitting Gman into this. I like it.

I am. And when I get my hands on one I will take out a Gisela or a Sheoldred.

How do you think {Liliana of the Veil} would work in here replacing one Sorin? I want to try a deck like this but I only have one Sorin.

Liliana works GREAT in this deck. I just don't have one. Lol. Other wise I'd run 1 {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} and 2 {Liliana of the Veil}. She's better simply because her first ability is what your deck thrives on. Let's say you have 3 cards in hand. A land, Unburial rites, and an avacyn. And you can't discard. Well if you have liliana out or draw and play her you can discard avacyn then Unburial rites avacyn out next turn. 😉

Her second ability is good as well for aggro or mid range decks. So turn 3 you can play her then +1 to set up Unburial rites. Then next turn -2 to make opponent sacrifice a creature that, on turn 4 for mid range decks, might be a threat to you. Then turn 5 cast Unburial rites and boom! GG (most of the time)

That's what I was thinking, since her first ability is an easy self mill with no Cmc. You've inspired me to create a version of this deck.  Many thanks :) I shall name my deck in your honor.

Actually liliana's first ability isn't a mill. It's a discard. So it's better than mill for you. So If you have that bomb in your hand you can discard it for unburial rites instead of hoping you mill one or getting a forbidden alchemy or thought scour.

You know {Grave Titan} has rotated out of standard, right?
Come to think of it, a lot of these are out of standard...

M12 rotates with scars... It's good till October

Got my hands on him last night from a buddy who said he'd never use him and he gave him to me. 😃
