Title: [Standard] Scarabs Waste Nothing
Post by: G. Moto on June 25, 2017, 07:44:00 am

Scarabs Waste Nothing (https://deckstats.net/decks/24826/757899-scarabs-waste-nothing?revision=0)

Esper Zombie deck that uses mill and exile (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Exile) tactics to utilize the powers of the scarab god (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=The+Scarab+God). Sending cards to your opponent's grave and stealing health are two prominent mechanics in this build.

This is the 2nd God deck that I built. It has potential and can be very lethal when played right. Personally I feel that more counter spells would be good on the menu but I'll leave this one up to you all for discussion. Let me know what you all think.

Yeah I don't sleep (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Sleep) much at night due to my job. I kinda just stay awake until I crash (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Crash) (which is usually around 3am). But thanks on the deck, what do you think of the build?

I'm not understanding why Blighted Bat (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Blighted+Bat) is there.. a tiny bit stuck on that

Exile (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Exile) the bat with The scarab god (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=The+Scarab+God)'s ability. Now your 2/1 bat just became a 4/4 flyer with haste (if you paid the mana cost). And it's a zombie......

It's ok, I tend to do that to people. But you know I did do one last deck for the Locust God (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=The+Locust+God). It's Grixis (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Grixis).....

The locust god (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=The+Locust+God) you mean?

Yeah I decided against it, too many colors and Crypt Ghast (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Crypt+Ghast) can't ramp

Would you like to take a look at the deck? I think it might stir your curiosity (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Curiosity) a bit. The deck is called feed the Locust.

I kind of thought bgu with Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Hapatra%2C+Vizier+of+Poisons) and decimator beetle (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Decimator+Beetle) would be an interesting center for The Scarab God (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=The+Scarab+God) to work around.  Deathtouch snake tokens to kill threats, Eternalize them into your army...  Nimble Obstructionist (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Nimble+Obstructionist) would work well either way to counter abilities and come back as a 4/4 flyer.

 I can see the Hapatra + beetle combo, but I'm not particularly sure as to her playing with the scarab god (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=The+Scarab+God). Now if you played him with cruel reality (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Cruel+Reality) then that's a different story...

Posted a potential deck idea earlier.  Cruel Reality (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Cruel+Reality) is a bit expensive cmc without green for mana ramping...
