Crypt ghast standard?

[Thetrufflehunter]

It's fine. Tell me how many slots you have left once you put those cards into a deck.

[Moocow4u2]

1 {erebos god of the dead}
1 {whip of erebos}
4 {crypt ghast}
2 {disciple of phenax}
2 {baleful eidolon}
2 {abhorrent overlord}
2 {strionic resonator}
2 {scholar of athreos}
2 {staff of the death magus}
1 {teysa envoy of ghosts}
1 {elixir of immortality}
4 {tithe drinker}
1 {hero's downfall}
3 {liturgy of blood}
2 {viper's kiss}
1 {gift of orzhava}
1 {diabolic tutor}
2 {thought seize}
1 {vizkopa guildmage}
4 {read the bones}
1 {triad of fates}
1 {dark prophecy}
1 {kingpins pet}
3 {basilica screecher}
1 {grim return}
3 {rescue from the underworld}
2 {march of the returned}

I need to get rid of a few. I always find this part tricky. My card count is a little high

[Thetrufflehunter]

Un out have 51 cards, and we need to cut that to 36..

Get rid of a scholar, both staff, the elixir, 2 rescues, a resonator, 2 liturgy, a disciple, a drinker, a read the bones, an eidolon, a march,

[Moocow4u2]

Could there be something better than a revival to remove? I'm hoping to use revivals to keep activating devotion abilities

[Thetrufflehunter]

Your devotion isn't super high, so you won't want to cast it till late game, and you'll have drawn into some recursion by then.

[Moocow4u2]

Alright

[Thetrufflehunter]

-1 screecher
+2 merchant

[Thetrufflehunter]

-1 screecher
+2 merchant

Remove 1 vipers kiss and the gift of orzhova, and I think you'll be good to go. You gonna use a sideboard?

[Moocow4u2]

I have no idea how or what really a sideboard is I've never really used one before

[Thetrufflehunter]

I haven't either

A sideboard is 15 or less cards which you may swap into your deck between matches/games. You usually use them to help you against certain matchups. For example, parts of your sideboard would be more recursion, {ratchet bomb} against tokens, {pithing needle} against ætherling, that kind of stuff.

[Moocow4u2]

Ooooh ok maybe not this time. Ill think about it with the next deck I make up I only plan to use this deck once or twice. Just for game day really, I'm working on an arcanist deck with my buddy so when that's done I'll be usin that I may sideboard that with some other instants

[Thetrufflehunter]

Kk. You might want to play test a few games to see how it works. Mana-wise, use as many godless shrines, guildgates, and temple of silence as possible.

[Moocow4u2]

I think I only have 1 standard double land, temple of silence. I may need to go with a few shimmering grottos and maybe basic lands for the rest I shouldn't need too many white mana in it anyway. The highest white cost I see is 2 white on {debt to the deathless}

[Moocow4u2]

Oh actually I did have orzhav gates

[MuggyWuggy]

Black devotion.... {nightveil specter}???
