(Long comment) Well, I like the additions and removals, I have done so with my deck as well, I really like what Phyrexian Scriptures brings to this deck if ever I’m in a sticky situation, also it adds to the undergrowth mechanic. I’ve also added a Vraska, Golgari Queen, cheaper and if you can hold out till the -10 then that’s game. Haven’t taken out Bounty of Might YET, it has won me games, either on the Rhizome Lurcher or the Lotleth Giant. But yes Izoni, is in my ‘eyes’ essential.. no pun intended , Iron shell beetles are useless, kraul raiders I kept only for the early game damage because sometimes the menace helps.. Bartizan bats, I haven’t taken out yet, but if I do I wouldn’t mind getting a few Kraul Harpooners for the defence against flying. Also, side boarded a few Broken Bonds, because enchantment removal.. sometimes is important.

Maybe someone to answer after reading . I'm a year into magic the gathering right. My boyfriend. Plays mostly edh. I have 2 edh decks. So I come across this vraska green black planewalker in the store. And he says these aren't always great don't buy pre made only sometimes of the edh boxes. And buy singles. So if this video helps you upgrade? Or you make changes yourself. Using these 60 cards deck can it be played at a Friday night modern games at a shop? Will this be allowed they don't search the cards but when its played its fine? It's not like this is standard? TLDR; can this be played allowed 1v1 and on modern games ?

It can be played in modern, but modern decks are so powerful that it will be hard for this deck to win. There are so many cards in the format (18 years of cards) so the power level is very high.

Hm, well, it's difficult. I would say either a creature removal spell (Cast Down, Necrotic Wound, Murder) or a creature with deathtouch like Ochran Assassin or Poison-Tip Archer. It's difficult because the deathtouch creatures can't target specific creatures, and the creature removal spells don't count as creatures for undergrowth, but any of those will work fine for now.

I think Murderous Rider would be fantastic in this slot, but sadly it's kind of expensive. On the budget side, maybe we forego the removal we got from Chupacabra and just put Embodiment of Agonies in for another finisher. Golgari Findbroker or Storrev could fit here too, but I'm worried if we plunder the graveyard too much it'll weaken Undergrowth effects, whereas Embodiment of Agonies benefits from cards in graveyards without weakening it for other cards in the deck. So yeah, I'm leaning towards that! ...maybe...

Happy to help! If you were going to buy those extra cards, you could pretty much just replace everything on the screen at 10:55. Or something like: -3 Dead Weight, -1 Vraska's Stoneglare ---- +4 Assassin's Trophy -1 Vraska's Stoneglare, -1 Bounty of Might, -1 Vraska, -1 Beast Whisperer --- +4 Jadelight Ranger -1 Swarm Guildmage, -1 Kraul Harpooner, -1 Midnight Reaper, 1 Ravenous Chupacabra --- +4 Stitcher's Supplier -1 Izoni --- +1 Underrealm Lich SOMETHING like that. Though you could do only 3 Jadelight Ranger and 2 Underrealm Lich instead if you like the Liches. As for the win-the-lottery build, I can't attest to this one as I didn't build it, but this deck took 6th place at a major competitive tournament: www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=20971&d=339105&f=ST Even if you don't follow this deck card-by-card, Overgrown Tomb and Woodland Cemetery are great for making your manabase more consistent. That website is great for looking at competitive tier 1 decks. You can go to the Standard tab and look through all kinds of G/B decks. The "Golgari Explore" decks are the most competitive in this color combination right now. :) Hope I this was helpful and not too convoluted! :)

So I've been playing with this deck now for a couple weeks. It's very fun to play! The Mana curve is really harsh though. It's crazy how the tutors and PW that comes in the deck are both 1 land more than any other. I almost never get to even bring out Veraska. I'm also finding that having 4 Glowspore and 3 Stichers Mills my deck a little too much. The undergrowth is nice but often times I will mill the exact card I need in the situation. The Melody can help with that but isn't always available. Still it's probably the most fun of all my decks because there's something to do every turn and when you do get that huge undergrowth creature out it's worth it lol.
@AffinityforMTG

Yeah, Vraska's mana cost is really difficult to get to. She's very expensive! As for milling too much...heck, in that case maybe Lotleth would be good in the deck afterall. I found it way too hard to cast (like Vraska), and it would definitely make the mana curve even worse than it already is.

Had this saved since you uploaded it so I'm glad i'm finally getting to it. As usual, LOVED the vid and the improvements you've made from previous deck upgrade vids (the rolling value count, what potential expensive cards could replace if you dole out more, etc.). One thing though, I was cleaning up and noticedI had a Kraul Foragers sitting on the table and realized it wasn't in the vid. At the end you have 4 Ravenous Chupacabras listed (while there were 3 in the vid). So i'm guessing the last Chupacabra is from replacing the Kraul Foragers. Wanted to just give you a heads up. Thanks again for the vid!!!

Well, Swarm Guildmage isn't doing much for the deck, so that's a good choice. Beast Whisperer also might not be 100 percent necessary. After that, Vraska, Vraska's Stoneglare, and Bounty of Might are the worst cards in the deck - just because of how slow they are. It would speed the deck up a lot cutting those for Stitcher's Suppliers, though you'll have a lot less late-game power.

I think so! Beast Whisperer is really fun with Midnight Reaper but it's a little slow. The Guildmage doesn't really do a whole lot for us, and can definitely go. The danger is the mana curve would be really bad if you kept cards like Vraska/Bounty of Might/Vraska's Stoneglare in. If you don't want to spend $4+ on Stitcher's Supplier, then you might need Llanowar Elves just to get the mana curve down. I would recommend something like this, but you don't have to follow it exactly: -1 Vraska, -2 Stoneglare, -1 Bounty of Might +4 Stitcher's Supplier, or +4 Llanowar Elves -1 Beast Whisperer, -1 Swarm Guildmage +whatever combination of Molderhulk or Izoni you want (1 of each?)

Yeah! The Golgari Queen version is way, WAY better. However, if you cut the Regal Gorgon card then it renders Vraska' Stoneglare obsolete. So I would say you have two options: 1: Take out Vraska Regal Gorgon and put in Vraska Golgari Queen, then remove 2 Vraska's Stoneglare and replace them with cheaper removal, like Necrotic Wound or Cast Down. 2: Just replace 1 Vraska's Stoneglare for 1 Vraska Golgari Queen. Then you can play both Vraska's, but the Regal Gorgon card costs SO MUCH MANA to cast. I think option 1 is better for the deck, but you could just do option 2 for now until you get your hands on Cast Down/Necrotic Wound. :)
