[Haatweels]

1 Viscera Dragger
1 Dregscape Zombie
1 kathari bomber This is more jund... even though it has unearth
1 Shore Snapper
1 Blood Cultist <== Add more. if you don't have any, add Rakdos Ickspitters
1 Skeletal Kathari
1 Scavenger Drake - more jund, but useable
2 Grixis Grimblade
1 Viashino skeleton
1 Stalking Vengeance
1 Entropic Eidolon <== These are Terrible
1 Lich Lord of Unx
1 Deathbringer Thoctar
1 Enigma Eidolon <== See Entropic Eidolon
1 Bog wraith Most of the time, this is a vanilla 3/3 for 4. Too slow.
1 Rakka Mar
1 Lightning Reaver
1 Sedraxis Specter <-- More
1 Zombie Outlander Only useful 20% of the time
1 Salvage TitanFlat out doesn't belong
1 Sewn-eye drake <-- More of this would be good
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Add some other fast stuff, like shambling remains
Up the amount of your good cards
Add support for Zombies, such as from cemetary reaper. You have a good amount of them
Up the amount of your small stuff
Add more deathtouchers
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Mistvein Borderpost
1 Mask of Riddles <-- not worth it =P (too slow)
1 Veinfire Borderpost
1 scepter of insight <-- not worth it =P (too slow)
1 Ferropede <-- Not good in aggro, not even THAT useful in control
1 Magma Spray
1 Everlasting Torment
2 Soul manipulation
1 Demonic tutor
1 Yoke of the damned <-- Good for MP2 Play as unearth support
1 Cancel
1 Terminate
1 brainbite <-- That's not fast enough
1 Blightning
1 volcanic fallout <-- Good counter/ burnoff
1 mind funeral <-- Yes! But only if you're centering it around control more
1 call to heel <-- Switch for Unsummon

6 Swamp <-- +1 or add crumbling necropolis (you already have your 2 borderposts)
7 Island
7 Mountain
1 Barren moor <-- Crumbling Necropolis
1 grixis panorama <-- Too slow
2 Terramorphic Expanse <-- Too slow a card for grixis
1 rupture spire <-- You really don't need this much mana


thinking about adding:
phantom warrior <-- Decent
mind control <--Use slave of bolas
ice cage Not awful, consider it after changes
lightning bolt ]DEFINATELY[ x4 it if possible
spell book [DEFINATELY NOT]
duress <-- yeah that could work
rise from the grave <--Mmm risky
consume spirit <-- since it's 1/3 black, no
dread warock <--Sure, but phantom is better
disentomb <--Decent, but not GREAT

[nacre667]

is it a good thing if i add 2 more Grixis Grimblade, and 2 Grixis Sojourners?

[Haatweels]

For the price of sojourners you can get firefield ogre >.>
a 4/2 first strike unearth or a 4/3 with a horrible ability
Ur choice =P

Get some tidehollow strixes in there
very good removal
2/1 instakiller, plus it has uses as a backup attacker since it hits for 2

thats an afirmative on the grimblade
if u wanna go for that zombie archtype, i can help

[nacre667]

i don't have any Fire-Field Ogres
i did add another Lich Lord of Unx
should i add 2 Dreadwings in place of Viashino Skeleton and Scavenger Drake?

[yukirukun]

I have Fire-Field Ogre. Maybe a trade is in order?!?!

[Haatweels]

I also have an ogre

But don't overweigh your 1/1s

Dread wing isn't bad, but it's easily killed. Definitely over the skeleton, but think hard about the drake.

[yukirukun]

Maybe you want Skeletal Vampire just because I don't need him anymore?

[Haatweels]

Skeletal is good

[yukirukun]

Bat tokens ftw

[Haatweels]

VAMPIRE WITH NO BLOOD OR ORGANS FTW

[yukirukun]

GET MALFEGOR FOR YOUR DECk

[Haatweels]

OR HIS NARSTIE BRETH

[yukirukun]

^ PROOF OF MALFEGOR'S POWER

Edit: Also, he just did it according to the card categories.

There's a few ways to organize your deck when editing to help you accompish what you're trying to in the fastest and most efficient means

By Converted Mana Cost

This method works to try to either make your deck faster of slower. Lay out all your lands and sort by converted mana cost. If you're playing aggro, then you want probably no more than 5 at most 6 drops or more. 5 drops are pushing it, but it's a bomb, you want about 5 (for example, Lightning Reaver). An aggro deck should have 12-16 Removal cards and/or counter (for example, lightning bolt, magma spray, and countersquall. ) It's wise to put more than one copy of a card a good and mana efficient as lightning bolt, but probably not the best idea to put in 4 Blood tyrants.

By Color

If you're having trouble with mana balance, group everything by color. In a deck with black as the main color, for example, maybe cryptic command isn't the best choice if you're only splashing blue. This helps organize the mana base. You want to maintain at very minimum a 2:1 ratio. For example, if you have 14 blue and 14 black and 8 red, you want AT LEAST 7 of each blue and black mana and AT LEAST (dual and tri mana help) 4 Red, although to run only 4 sources of something is risky. Remember that a Crumbling Necropolis counts for one of each.

By Power/Toughness

If you're getting beat time and time again by raw force, maybe it's time to consider what types of creatures you're putting in. Too many small creatures can be just as dangerous as too many large ones. Do it in moderation

anybetter?

[Admin Momo]

Nick, you're doing really well, it is pretty good so far, HOWEVER, you have too many useless not-creature cards. Gtfo with Duress and Mind Funeral. I have another Blood Cultist if you want it. Having more than one Blood Cultist on the field is just deadly. Countersquall... it's alright, but see if you can find something better, if you have just one, it's not going to be that great.

How many cemetery reapers do you even have? I traded you one, but you said you have 4? Is that a typo?

Other than that, it's great Nick.

Personally I disagree with Mind Funeral comment, but Mo's dead on on a lot of it. Pingers like Viscera and Blood Cultists are always good for a deck like this. If you can get enough, you can pretty much ping to death anything he throws. That supported by a Unx based Mill or a strong Reaver or Thoctar -based rush and you can lock down a good amount of games. However, I think you should keep Duress and Mind Funeral (if you don't mind taking the risk.) At worst, Mind Funeral kills 4 lands off their deck, thus making mana lock a more brutal tactic yet. For 12 Mana (4 Funerals), you can pretty much wreck their entire deck. That combine with Arch Lord and maybe a few tome scours can make an excellent alt win strategy. Plus, Zombies are great regenerators and chumpers, allowing you to do that. I like the 4 Grimblades =) Good defense and good early game offense. May I suggest a few Deathmarks just for sideboard? Also, since you're using black as well -1 Cancel, -1 Disentomb, +1 or 2 Soul Manipulation

And since you have a good variety of cards, if you only add one Soul Manipulation, add another tutor so you can fetch what you need.

Good list =D

Edit: I think he meant to put x4 Grimblade on his previous list
