MTG Salvation

I have been playing EDH using my friends decks for the past couple weeks and I wanted to make one of my own. I was decided on Savra because I thought that her ability would be fun. I tried to make the deck have good snergy as well as some EDH staples. I have been playing magic since Masques so I may have missed some older cards. This is the first draft so any suggestions are welcome. If you find something for me to add please try to suggest something to take out as well. Most of my time has been spent on the snergy part of the deck so the land base may need some attention. Triggers for Savra have been marked (*).


EDIT : miren, the moaning well added
EDIT : Diabolic Intent added Wall of Roots removed
EDIT : Phyrexian Plaguelord in , Dimir House Gaurd out
EDIT : Out: Snake Basket, Breeding Pit, Myogin, Endrek Sahr, Sisters of Stone Death and Deranged Hermit(Budget)
In : Nether Traitor, Nim Devourer, Golgari Germination, Undead Gladiator, Doomed Necro, Drooling Groodian

Since you need more of a sac-outlet for Savra, may I suggest:

• Phyrexian Altar
  
• Blasting Station
  
• Diabolic Intent
  
• Innocent blood
  
• life chisel
  
• Drooling Groodion
  
• miren, the moaning well
  
• Contamination
  
• Crovax the Cursed
  
• Death Cloud
  

Just to name a few. Moreover, coupled with golgari germination, you can get some decent creature advantage.

I like Alter and Groodion any suggestions for what to take out. Also need a spot for Golgari Guildmage and Gleancrawler

I think Doomed Necromancer, Undead Gladiator, Greater Good, and Phyrexian Plaguelord should be in here. Natural Order might be good, too, if you have enough green fatties.

The penumbra creatures might also be good, especially Penumbra Wurm and Penumbra Spider.

thoughts on what to take out

Recurring Nightmare and some selfreanimating or Squee-like creeps.

Witness is already in and Im not looking for condescension just help. Can some one suggest some cards that should be taken out to make room for some of the cards suggested.

Snake Basket, Perilous Forays, and Breeding Pit seem really weak. I'm not totally sold on Endrek Sahr. The Sisters are really nasty, but they don't seem to fit your theme. Fallen Ideal is good, but it is an aura and may result in card disadvantage.

I'd also look for room to add Golgari Germination.

Cards to consider for removal:

The Myojin of Night's Reach focuses on discarding, where other cards mentioned would play into the theme more.

Sisters of Stone death is nice when you get it rolling and would be fun to sacrifice the creature you're able to return, but I think its could be one to consider for removal. As much as I like the Sisters, any of the 3 creatures you are considering are better suited for this decks theme IMHO.

I hate to say this, but what about taking out Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni? The card is spectacular in so many ways, but the cards you want to add play into theme more...

Thanks for all the help and pointing out the weaker cards. List has been updated. I like the addition of more guys that cycle themselves ie Nim and Undead Gladiator with germination.

That should be a fund deck props I did read that recurring nightmare isn't legal in EDH, why is that? I don't really care we play casual Highlander so that doesn't matter we play one of Any card, but my friend does pull it alot, dirty dirty card.

I had a Savra deck back in the day. Not EDH but it worked pretty well. I would have to say the mvp of my deck was Vulturous Zombie. Those counters really rack up when you're sacking your opponents creatures/making them discard/milling.

endrek sahr is probably the best edition to my deck. along with mycoloth. ooze garden is also good. sack a powerful creature with a bad ability maybe or just use is to keep sacking creatures.
