    [EDH] Necro-Drain.edh

    I've been working on this Erebos deck too... Erebos + ramp lets you basically play EDH like the old Necropotence + Drain Life decks from the mid 90s. So nostalgic.

    Gauntlet of Power
    Caged Sun

    Am I missing Phyrexian Arena in your list somewhere? I think I'd run Arena before I ran Underworld Connections.

    Also, Yawgmoth's Bargain is banned in this format IIRC...despite whatever it says over on the mothership.

    Hmm.. you're right. I cut Arena for something else but didn't realize I was leaving Connections in over it.
    - Bargain
    + Arena

    Since Cabal Coffers is such a tank, maybe you should be playing Expedition Map? Probably black fetches too since you have Top and want shuffle effects whenever possible. I could also see Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx putting in work here, acting as an almost 'Coffers. Looks like a fun deck for sure.

    Whenever I play Necropotence I usually add Reliquary Tower because t's nice to draw 20 cards off of Necro and then keep all of the cards.

    Changes:
    -2 Swamp
    +1 Nykthos, Shrine of not quite Cabal Coffers
    +1 Reliquary Tower

    Expedition Map is "hidden" under Tutors
