Hello again v0rac10u5,

 

Thanks for looking at my zombie deck. I can't get any of the fetch/dual lands, but did manage to get a Sulfurous Springs playset. No one in my playgroup has any Sarcomancy, but Carrion Feeder is a handy substitute fo the time being. When I was typing up my decklist I accidentally got Tsabo's Decree mixed up with Extinction. That was an error on my part, sorry about that. Anywho, I have another deck that I hope you would help me with.

 

Creatures: 20

4x Ravenous Baloth

4x Arc-Slogger

4x Blastoderm

4x Hunted Wumpus

4x Sakura-Tribe Elder

 

Other Spells: 17

4x Lightning Bolt

4x Pulse of the Tangle

3x Earthquake

4x Wild Growth

2x Hull Breach

 

Lands: 23

9x Forest

5x Mountain

4x Karplusan Forest

3x Contested Cliffs

2x Mossfire Valley

 

Being tied with zombies, beast is my favorite tribe. What's more fun than playing big creatures and smashing face with said big creatures? Nothing else that comes to mind, although that's just my inner Timmy speaking. You may be noticing the lack of Krosan Warchief. I didn't include it because whenever I played Warchief in the past, it always got killed off by means of Shock, Terror, counterspells and other forms of creature hate. The regeneration ability of Warchief didn't happen alot for me because I always sac'd my beasts to Baloth before they were hit with removal. The biggest problem I'm facing right now is against monoblue other forms of control decks. My beasts always get annihilated by Wrath of God/Damnation before I can get a swing in with a beast. Against weenie decks like elves, I usually win since my guys are generally bigger and I'm packing removal in the forms of Earthquake, Lightning Bolt and Cliffs.

 

 As I said before, I'm not on any strict budget, but I refuse to pay big money on top dollar cards. The deck itself is meant only for casual play within my playgroup. I was considering a black splash for Spiritmonger (my favorite beast), Volrath's Stronghold(for against control), Duress (take that counterspell) and Infest(gets around prored and regeneration) but wanted to know what your thoughts were.

 

Thanks for the previous fix, reading this and hopefully responding back.

Your deck is essentially a hybrid of two other decks, Fires and Onslaught Block Beasts, except you are missing the Fires of Yavimaya. If removal is holding you back, add four of those cards. With Fires, you can drop your beast, swing with it and get your damage in before it dies to Wrath or Damnation. It also gets you an extra swing out of Blastoderm. I would cut Earthquake for Flametongue Kavu. It may not be a beast, but it is too good not to put in. I also put in Tephraderm for Hunted Wumpus. It has really good synergy with Contested Cliffs and can be a real pain to get rid of. You will need to add one-drop mana producers to make the deck flow properly. Birds and Elves generally fill those slots. I like Garruk better than Pulse, but your budget may determine that for you. Shivan Wurm and Saproling Burst are also good beaters that I didn’t add because they weren’t beasts, but you might want to give them a try.
