Modern Magic — Army of the Dredged vs. 4C Kiki Chord
10My good friend's singleton deck actually has me concerned due to the graveyard hate that I was expecting for him to find with Chord of Calling. If he had that sideboard Jötun Grunt as tutorable graveyard hate, then I would have been a sad Glistener Elf.
Here is the decklist for the 4C Kiki Chord player:
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/4c-kiki-chord-1/
After having revised the deck, this what I concocted:
Creatures (23)
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
4 Golgari Thug
1 Necroplasm
1 Phantasmagorian
4 Shambling Shell
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Street Wraith
1 Vengeful Pharaoh
Instants (4)
4 Lightning Axe
Sorceries (13)
3 Army of the Damned
4 Faithless Looting
4 Life from the Loam
2 Spider Spawning
Lands (20)*
4 Blackcleave Cliffs
2 Blood Crypt
4 Crypt of Agadeem
1 Dakmor Salvage
1 Forest
1 Grove of the Burnwillows
1 Mountain
2 Stomping Ground
4 Wooded Foothills
Sideboard (15)
4 Ancient Grudge
3 Darkblast
1 Ghost Quarter
1 Golgari Brownscale
2 Gnaw to the Bone
1 Necroplasm
3 Raven's Crime
*If I could change one thing about the deck now, it would be to add more green sources in order to cast Life from the Loam more readily. Copperline Gorge and/or Grove of the Burnwillows would come in for some Blackcleave Cliffs and possibly the Dakmor Salvage (which could also just be a basic Swamp to play through a Blood Moon). The reason is because, despite the heavy representation of black cards in the deck, I am rarely casting any of them. Rather, if I am spending a lot of black mana on a spell, then I'm likely flashing back one of my win-cons.
