If you are looking to build a straight up Graveyard deck Risen Executioner is a card as well. That card could easily be a good spec target as well. One thing to keep in mind is that Anafenza is seeing a ton of play and is very good against the Dredgevine style decks… Anafenza is a 4x in most of the abzan decks.

Ghostfire Blade is a nice one too. It also has “Modern Playable” tag as it is sometimes an include in Affinity lists. Most importantly it’s really cheap. If Morph Wars is going to be a thing at some point I think Trail is the best one. You invest two mana at some point in the game and it is going to draw multiple lands and give you a ton of combat tricks throughout the game.

More free creatures from your graveyard can’t be a bad thing.

He can’t block, doesn’t kill things bigger than himself, doesn’t have evasion, doesn’t have morph, and you have no sac engine to make really good use of him.

Does he sound playable?

My mana was surprisingly good at the event. I only had to mulligan one hand because of color issues.”Temple of Deceit, Caves of Koilos, Sylvan Caryatid.”
I considered Champion as a sideboard card against control but ultimately just played edicts instead.

I’ve been a long-time reader of your Vintage content at SCG, and it’s great to be able to read those articles of yours on QS.

Similar to Trail of Mystery, I think Ghostfire Blade could be pretty nice tech if people start trying to outmorph each other. The high-end manifest cards (Mastery of the Unseen, Whisperwood Elemental) also play well in a face-down deck, but those are not great speculation targets right now.

Regards,

I’ve been working on a lot of decks like this and I’ve been thinking of using Bloodsoaked Champion as well to create a Dredgevine type deck. Did you consider including that guy and how do you think he would fit in the deck?
