You cannot play a Shambling Hordes until turn 3. Why is Veneficti a better choice than more Shambling Hordes?

Slaughterhouse, but no Trochomancy? Sad.

Consider Crematorium and Torpid Blood. Did you mean to type Unmasking, and get Uncoiling instead?

I can't say that I'm feeling this deck at all.

Why Veneficti? Burn Option. They basically can't clog my hand and will end up in the ashheap really quite quickly.

No Trochomancy? Well it was always planned to do the more "turbo-deck" trick of Soul Gem + Burning. I don't mind just milling them.

Crematorium: Have thought of it.

Torpid Blood: I'm planning to possibly yo-yo myself sometimes with Day Op/Force of Will before exploding...

Shamblers: Disposable "Moses". Prey is flicking? Can't flick zombies. Prey is blocking bleeds? Have fun with the zombies. Predator is being 'painful'? Here, have a zombie...


I have updated the deck after playing on Monday night. But considering the fact I'm going to play it in a 'trick deck' tournament later today... It's probably too late to drastically edit this one.

Actually the Veneficti trick works very well. I don't have that many of them so I added a few Draeven Softfoot. Really speeds up the shamblers.

Here is my rather traditional version with Giovanni.
