Card/Deck Bloodghast

[Dom Harvey]

I was never that impressed with Bloodghast but after trying out Quadcrawler I've found myself wanting Bloodghast a lot more, including in decks that couldn't/wouldn't want Gravecrawler for lack of Zombies or aggressive tendencies. Some examples of random value Bloodghasts I've had:

- B/u with TfK/FoF and Death Cloud
- a Wildfire/DDreams deck with Looting/Loam
- living the dream with Fastbond/Skullclamp
- making a large, almost unkillable threat with Bonesplitter/Grafted Wargear
- using it with Putrid Imp to get 2 free mana with Nykthos
- Birthing Pod obv

Are there any cards that work well with it that don't work with Gravecrawler?

Dredgevine with Bloodghast & Vengevine? I suppose this might overlap with the Gravecrawler deck, but I always wanted a self-mill Golgari aggro archetype in my cube. Just don't know what I could really include to make it happen without making the archetype too isolated and poison principle-y.

acronyms guys, wtf is "TfK", lol btdubs #iirc


Don't forget Gifts Ungiven, if any of you are running that. I am, with vague intentions to support Haakon in the future as justification.

Just so you guys know, you're no longer allowed to discuss Bloodghast in this thread. This thread is now about terrible "TfK" card names.

Oh Jesus, the ONLY powerful thing ZEN-SOM vampires did was Highborn + Bloodghast and, well, it wasn't remotely beatable

 

[Jason Waddell]

I dunno, my regular practice partner at the time played Vampires and I usually just didn't care about Highborn. It was super beatable.

Thirst for Knowledge? No wait, that's not terrible...

Trawling for Krill?
Trekking from Kansas?

Break out those Innistrad Captains!

Seriously though, he's been used as the sole finisher for that abominable R/B control deck I've been ironing out. It sucked to lose to that deck.

One thing I hated about that format is I noticed I pretty much always beat Vamps (or like Elves / Eldrazi Green) when I had 1 Bolt. Check out this pile though you'll love it

(Board)


The deck is a good eight slots off (where the fuck are the Raging Ravines? Some board Swords? TUNNEL IGNUS?) but man was it a blast. Good against Caw too.

Since when did you ever peg me as a fan of Naya decks?

 

[James Stevenson]

Fast talking Kangaroos? Free the Koalas? Ugh I dunno, nothing can beat

Tiramisu, fond of Konda?!?

Favorite post.

the stallion that mounts the world. bonus points for beating people with this in THS draft and calling it "pegging" them

 

[Jason Waddell]

Somehow I knew you'd take that as an opportunity to make a pegging joke.
