I like the idea, I just worry it makes Gravecrawler too inconsistent. I need to test it because Oathsworn Vampire is way better for this strategy, but nothing beats good old fashioned gravecrawler.

Budget Pyromancer

Same idea as izzet or grixis pyromancer, cast lots of spells burn down your opponent and swing with several 1 power tokens.

Bourgeois Gods

Basic Aristocrats style deck using Bontu and Athreos for value.

Reverberating Death

This deck seeks to play an early game Thrumming Stone using Lake of the Dead or Culling the Weak, then casting a Shadowborn Apostle. Hopefully we can hit the majority of our Apostles which gives us several options for victory such as searching for a Demon of Death's Gate and swinging for nine trampling flying damage. If there aren't any roadblocks, we could also swing for alpha if we have twenty or more Apostles. Demon of Death's Gate is merely a powerful all around option, the sideboard gives us more match based utility for our choice of demons. If we don't have our big mana engines, we can always play Demon of Death's Gate turn two if we cast three Apostles. I've had fun playtesting this deck at home, but tell me what you think.

Captain Planet

Why would I do this? Little to no synergy, horrible mana curve, painfully susceptible to Blood Moon, why? Because I have a ton of planeswalkers and I can. Have fun and remember, the power is yours.

Make Tibalt Great Again

Tibalt makes deck building complicated, we don't want to discard anything we want to keep after all. As that's the case, why not make every card something we don't care if we discard? Added other discard and filter spells to better control our discard for specific situations. Other than that, basically Gruul stompy. Have fun.

Bring Out Your Dead

Pretty simple gameplan: play the zombies, turn them sideways. Very resilient creatures and powerful Lilianas give our version of card advantage by producing excessive zombie tokens.

Intangible Elspeth

This Superfriends deck leans on Elspeth Tribal, which encourages a steong token strategy. Jace and Sorin help with card draw, Kytheon helps protect our good planeswalkers while Gideon provides another anthem effect. Board wipes provide card advantage, we can rebuild our army of 1/1 tokens quickly.  Go wide and go tall or go home.

I was trying to find artificers with a card draw ability without the discard or howling mine drawbacks.Those were the best I could find without extending to three colors. Obelisk could be potentially zero mana pretty quickly, I'm relying heavily on convoke for it. Galvanic Blast definitely needs a slot, I forgot about that card. Whenever I'm thinking artifact burn I think of dynamite on a paper airplane lol.

This is somewhat aggro, though this deck is better described as a value deck. 2 mana 3/3s, 3/3 tokens, Radiant Destiny anthem effect, Huatli's zero ability, these all come together to gain more resources for each card than your opponents gain. Sideboard is primarily against Rakdos Vehilcles, though Bomat Courier helps the long game against Azorius decks.

I was trying to go for a Modern version of Chant on a Stick with Kjeldoran Outpost as the win condition. Unfortunately, Legion's Landing with Silence on a stick was as close as I could get. I considered Cryptic Command, but I can put Remand on Scepter unlike Cryptic so it won out. Ancestral is worth trying over Serum Visions, I'll have to play test it. Legion's Landing is a bit rough, I really wanted Kjeldoran Outpost, but I agree I may have to find something more reliable. There's only one post I wager.

I Did It For the Lulz

This is a hard control deck using Elspeth and Legions Landing to win with 1/1 tokens. The deck wipes the board constantly while countering any threats to our token producers. Silence prevents our opponents from playing Magic and Isochron Scepter gives us virtual card advantage over time. It's what we came here to do, boys, so let's do it for the lulz.

Straightforward aggro control. Small fast creatures with counter magic and removal. Pseudo prowess for the win.
