Threshold?

[Mikeymike]

Didn't know where to post this one so I'm hoping this falls under the 'ideas' part of the forum description.

I'm still out of the Torment loop, but are there any cards that allow me to get up to threshold very quickly without blue? (minus ones that suck like the Bloodcurler). I know Buried Alive, but I want faster (hey I'm spoiled by type 1 sue me).

I want to try to build an black aggro deck using Frightcrawler. I've been in love with this guy since he whooped butt for me at the Ody. PR and I don't think he gets enough love.

Beyond that, man threshold is going to get really strong really soon. How about that 3 for 1 basic land fetcher, Far Wanderings? Man that is some serious land advantage, my jaw dropped when I read that card.

In all the colors I can think of...
Last Rites
Fact or Fiction
Looters/Broker
Harrow

Ideas?

Looking through my few Torment cards from the Prerelease, there's Fledgling Imp and Putrid Imp, where you discard a card to give flying. The latter is only one black, so you can discard the rest of your hand to give him flying up to six times if you go second

Red has Rites of Initiation.

But that's about it, and it all deals with your hand, not the library.

best cheap card to get Threshold (and still having a hand) : TOLARIAN WINDS!

but that's blue, blue also has most of the other good ways to get Threshold: FoF, good cantrips, the looters, Traumatize etc.etc.

Millikin is an option for any deck, and it's also mana acceleration. Chromatic Sphere and the 5 Eggs can also help a lot.

non-blue colors:
Green has these mana fixers like Harrow or Lay of the Land.
Red and White haven't many cards for Threshold.
Black has ways to get cards directly to the grave, like Entomb and Buried Alive.

All colors have of course cards which let you discard for fun and profit, like the Dreams, Rites, Disorders and Symbiotes. And they also have cantrips, although not all colors have playable ones.

Zombie Infestation - Discard 2 cards to get a 2/2 zombie token.
The black Rite which allows you to select cards from someone elses hand to discard.


Millstone, Howling Mine + Discard effects as mentioned.
Entomb lets you BA 1 card (doesn't have to be a creature).
If type 2 is your thing then not this, but Anvil of Bogarden is draw 2 cards discard one for everyone during draw phase and eliminates Discard step.

These help?

I posted an extended deck like that a while back. before Torment, so it would be different now. . .

4 Nether Shadow
4 Ashen Ghoul
4 Krovikian Horror (sac a ghoul or shadow to do a point to a creature or player, it'll be back plus it returns back to hand if a creature is on top for ZI.)
4 Marauding somethingorother (3/1 shadow)
4 Skittering Skirge

3 Nevinyrral's Disk
3 Buried Alive
4 Zombie Infestation or maybe Bad moon would be better?
4 Ghastly Demise
4 Diabolic Edict

4 Lake of the Dead (maybe just that I miss Rit badly, turn 3 b4 you could use it effectively and then for what? perhaps stick with swamps)
18 Swamps

other fun cards which might be worth trying are:

Soulshriek, Avatar of Woe (in moderation), Hidden Horror, or maybe something with threshold or mortivore

At the OD prerelease I found Rites of Spring to be useful in getting to threshold, especially when you discard lands in your hand that you get replaced immediately.
