This deck is a variation on a deck style that I
have used to good effect both in casual and in tournament play. The theory
is pretty basic - use creatures that have either useful effects when they come
into play or when they are put into the graveyard, then use the Lava Zombies and
the Gravediggers to "recycle" those cards out of play or the graveyard so you
can rinse and repeat. Most of the creatures focus on doing direct damage
to your opponent or his creatures (Bone Shredder, Highway Robber, Ghitu Slinger,
etc...), though the sideboard can give players a few other options - mostly for
troublesome artifacts.
It is best if you can get the familiars out as fast
as possible, as this deck isn't quite as fast as other hordes and it helps to
have the speedup. Depending on your mix, you may want to mulligan down a
few cards to see if you can't get a good mix with a familiar in it. Let me
know what you think by emailing me at odysseus@yahoo.com.
Peasant's unite!
