I like the idea of powder keg simply because only 2 colors are run, but an extra dual can be thrown in to set ee at 3. The main problem with keg is that it doesn't deal with counterbalance, which is...

I love dystopia and run it in Red Death as a mandatory slot in the board. Problem is you run Jotun grunt, and this deck also does not abuse tempo as well as traditional suicide style decks (which is...
Taco: Yes, I agree that the threat density leaves much to be desired against control; even though squeezing them in the maindeck just doesn't seem like it's going to work I think they would be fine...
Has anyone really bothered to test the route of going with discard over ld with the original predominant black build? I've wanted to try this build in the current meta simply because vindicate and...
I don't think running ritual with so many white creatures is wise, so the diamonds seem like the best choice for acceleration. Hippie should still be great without ritual since you have so much...
I've tried diamond in deadguy and it had worked out really well; with you running more white creatures it should be pretty good. I would probably run jitte over e.plague main. Serra avenger...
If you're sold on black knight and smallpox, why not run haakon as well? I've been throwing around a "knight deck" idea for a little bit and maybe it would work with deadguy. This list eschews...
The issue with black knight is that he doesn't put any pressure on the opponent.
He is okay with equipment but the lists I've seen here run too few creatures to really support equipment...plus...
They wouldn't cause mana problems if that's what you mean, since they are replacing wasteland and provide colorless mana as well. And I think in multiples they actually get better (you can...
I like the idea of shortfang, and also the interaction it has, along with nantuko shade, with swarmyard. I think we could probably eschew one of the disruption routes of this deck and go all out on...
I don't think dark ritual is very good in that build, mainly because half of your creatures can't come out off of one.
I would probably try mox diamond and up the land count by 1 or 2. Without...
Just MD Jotun grunt, he hoses entire decks on his own, and is very supportable with all the disruption this deck runs. He stops aggro rushes with his huge 4/4 body, doesn't die to burn...what more...
I think Jotun Grunt is far better than angel in this deck. Based on the tournament I attended this weekend, he is absurdly powerful...he helps all your bad matchups.
The build I ran used...
I think the problem with this deck is the combination of two different goals that tend to contradict each other more than complement. Adding white instead of red slows down your kill rather than...
^^ all the reasons why I run him over wretch.
My creature base for my build looks something like this:
2x Jotun Grunt
3x Nantuko Shade
4x Hypnotic Specter
4x Bob
2 MD and 2 Side seems to...
I run 2 maindeck mutilates and one in the side now, and it's been pretty useful. I find I'm playing disruption for most of the early game anyway, so it's actually really common against aggro to...
I find deadguy ale has pretty good game against random decks, I don't know why people seem to think it's such a narrow deck.
Specifically, those "jank" decks are not going to be able to handle the...
^ can't wait to hear it, good luck!
And yeah, that's one thing that can't be overlooked of grunt...he's a freaking 4/4 face smasher as opposed to a 2/2 weenie.
Yeah, I completely agree with that...I think that they belong as a 4 of in the board really. Wretch can be maindecked, but these should not be.
FYI, Jotun Grunt is so rediculous against thresh...although being a bit weaker against decks that target the graveyard (reanimator, etc.). I find with this deck, wretch's mana requirements make him...
