Good Afternoon. Ive been playing with Zombie 60 card lords for years now and finally wanted to update it. My original deck used to be U/B for Diregraf Captain but now I wanna to back to mono-black. Ive come up with a list of the cards that suit the theme well but cant seem to be able to completely pin down what would be good or bad in the deck. Im not too much over 60 but any ideas for this would be helpful.
I've had this deck for a long time. One of my favorite perhaps. Usually played in a 2-4 player group. I know it has a low land count and sometimes does bad because of it so I wanted to see if you guys had any ways of making this deck better. Please let me know your ideas.
I wonder if the specters are effective.
You already run mass draw/discard effects.
And there's a distinct chance your opponents have aerial defenses up.
From the groups I play in, not much.
I think it's also worth experimenting whether you could drop a color.
I really only included Red for Nekusar. He could certainly go.
How big is the table? Do you expect to get rushed?
2-4 people. Its possible. Maybe put in some Propagandas[/quote]
Do you need a decent defense? And if so, would you prefer sweepers / control or creatures of your own?
Sweepers could be good. If i keep my creature count low, it may be doable. Maybe run some Unearths if I keep the CMC 3 or less for them.
Is Lotus Petal powerful enough? Might Dark Ritual help you?
These are for Dream Halls to play Memory Jar turn 1
And I imagined you meant the second half of my "or" question but I wanted to be sure.
Plus most casual players I know of play according to some form of restricted and ban list.
Whether that's Vintage, Standard, Modern or even block.
Even you use a form of deckbuilding rules. (Sticking to minimum 60 cards and maximum 4-offs.)
Which might not be needed if it's casual.
That said, if you want to optimize effectiveness and not fun I can't imagine why you would run an 80+ card deck. Some trimming might be in order.
As I'm advocately not the Spike in this forum I can't give the best suggestions on how to make your deck most brutal.
Ah, I do apologize. I meant more kitchen table magic than I guess the sub refers to as Casual. The deck only shows 80 because I just put 4 ofs for each of the cards I thought belonged in the deck. But as I tagged this thread, I was hoping more on card discussion for what could make this deck click/work? The deck should at least stay with the Memory Jars, Dream Halls, Lotus Petals, and Liliana's Caress as part of the combos. I added in Nekusar, the Mindrazer and Waste Not to utilize these discards. Then I thought that, because it's mass discard, why dont I add in some Reanimator effects to help win the game. So from there, I came here to see what people think would be the smoothest strategy.
Just recently read some info on the Memory Jar banning back in the days. I thought about it being fun to make a casual version of the deck using up to date cards. I've compiled a list of what I thought could be in the deck but not sure the best way to take it. Any help would be appreciated. Dont mind the land count. Theyre based on 4 of's, etc.
Hello everyone. My fiancé and I are having a wedding coming up and its got a nerdy theme. We want to do RSVP cards in the form of MTG cards. We tried creating the card in MWS but it only makes images that cannot be blown up to the size that we need. Im not proficient with GIMP so I havent been able to even attempt to try this. What Im trying to say is, would someone be able to help me either in getting a RSVP design set up with ways we can export it to larger sizes than a Magic card or be able to take our design and mock it up for us to use. I've uploaded my mock up that I did in MWS. All help is appreciated.

It's not on the list but it seems a better tutor for Enchantments other than 4x Academy Rector.
Trying to keep self damage to a non-issue.
Griselbrand doesnt work in this deck. I dont need to draw/discard for dredge stuff. I just need constant draw/discard.
