Volrath, the Necrotic Experiment
Posted: Sun Sep 29, 2019 1:00 pm
I've been brewing up Volrath. I tried Dark Kraj and got it wrong, then tried Sultai good stuff.. Now I'm back to Dark Kraj! It seems fun as, I took a Kraj deck and added in some black but it still doesn't 'feel right'. I wanted to include some more graveyard populating and some fun cards like Mirror-mad Phantasm and Myr Propagator. The hard bit so far is getting the right balance between picking cards that Volrath can also use, and not relying too much on Experiment Kraj, because he can get taken out pretty easy. I have backup with Necrotic Ooze at least.
Typical combos are in there for Kraj, and Volrath has some combos such as Argothian Elder / Krosan Restorer + bounce land or cradle + any of the untappers. Got a backup with Kiora's Follower + Illusionist's Bracers, but only one X spell (Blue Sun's Zenith). There's quite a few ways to draw the deck but not through Volrath currently.
I was thinking of taking out some of the draw to sub in Buried Alive / Jarad's Orders / Final Parting. and maybe replace some combo pieces with less redundancy and rather let me dig and populate my graveyard with cards such as Grisly Salvage. Lotleth Troll might be real good too.
Any suggestions would be absolutely welcomed!
