I just sort of threw this deck together but it plays suprisingly well.
It can lock down all creatures for good in a single turn or just blow lots of things up.


7 Swamps
5 Plains
4 Godless Shrine
4 Scrubland

4 Plague Spitter
4 Crypt Rats
4 Souls of the Faultless
4 Cuombajj Witches

4 Neko-Te
2 Crawlspace

4 Spirit Link
4 Pillory of the Sleepless
2 No Mercy

4 Mortify
4 Vindicate

even if you use the rats and the spitters to take out 1/1s and 2/2s
and mortify and vindicate everything else..

as long as you have a slight bit more life, you can usually win..
any suggestions?

Seems solid (4x Mortify + 4x Vindicate will do that to a deck :))

The only thing that seems out of place is the Spirit Link; its a great card but in this deck it seems like it can only enchant the Crypt Rats, turning it into a one-shot deal. I would consider replacing it with Spiritualize or something...

You might also consider Lashknife Barrier, which will let you use the Crypt Rats repeatedly (and will let you play a Crypt Rats next to your PlagueSpitter).

(* If you face a lot of creatures with Protection from Black, you might want to drop the Pillory of the Sleepless for more No Mercy's *)

spiritualize could be good, especially for the instant+cantrip effect.

The spirit link is mainly for a turn 1 drop on a threatening creature, or to immobilize an attacker while i have that extra turn or two to amass land and a defense or neko-te.

this deck also tends to lock out creatures completely and quickly. So the damage dealing comes from plague+neko te.. which makes everyone take a minimum of 2 during their upkeep, usually 3 late game.. A spirit link usually nets me enough life to stay 3-4 ahead of them. I was really trying to exploit the crypt rats, theyre mainly used for a big stun bomb so i can tap all creatures.

pro black would hurt a lot, maybe no mercies or thran lens might work for that sort of thing..
I want to add in lashknife, as its just good in general, but im not sure what i'd drop.
