I've done some test play and it's working rather well. Any thoughts?

I'm guessing that you are going to try playing the really expensive cards (to cast) from your graveyard?
I think {liliana vess} planeswalker card would go well in this.
Maybe more draw cards for yourself if you want to be discarding?

Just a thought.

Yeah, I'm working on getting Lilliana but I'm still using placeholders to practice with the Eldrazi till I get them. What are some black cards with draw power? I mostly just use diabolic tutor and just go from there. Oh and yes, basically everything is getting pumped out of the graveyard except a Sheoldred and a couple of others

No worries, there are some Faustian card drawing cards in B. {Promise of Power} for one.

Why play nicol bolas? You cant pay R/U and u cant give him haste.

Wally · February 17, 2012, 06:17:11 PM

Of course finding cards in the database and naming them is much easier than acttually getting them into your deck. That aside, I was also thinking of promise of power and there are a few artifacts that allow you (and the opponent) to draw extra cards at the start of your turn {howling mine} is just one.
Also there are plenty of black removals with draw a card on the end of them, mostly older ones now tho. (I had a bit of a search by filtering colour: black and text: draw.
Good luck

Forgot about not having haste... I'll just switch Bolas for Vess then, problem solved. Or I could just get a different dragon fatty to replace him

Redtodd · February 17, 2012, 10:31:32 PM

Ok, I found two good black draw cards: Vampirism and Greed. I think I'll switch out Bolas for Bloodgift Demon and I'll work out a place for Vess when i get her

Is this modeled after the premium Graveborn deck? If you haven't seen it, you should check out the decklist. I see some similarities.

Redtodd · February 17, 2012, 11:00:26 PM

Yeah, I broke it down a while ago and this is most of the remains with new cards put in. Traded entomb -_- hear that? It's me kicking myself. But yes, I know the decklist rather well, if that's what you're saying
