I only just glanced at it, but two cards that jumped out to me that would help you out a lot is Genesis and Greater Good. Genesis lets you bring your creatures back, and Greater Good can give you card advantage, or send creatures into the graveyard. Another creature that would help you with all of this is Vengevine.

It is like you have read my mind!
I have been looking into getting genesis so bad, as well as vengevine!

Greater good, I like it, but I'm not so sure about the discard unless I had both vengevine and genesis.

Thank you! keep the suggestions coming.

enchantments,
gravepact and oversold cemetery. both are really nice.
Creature,
that one that does the same thing as gravepact.

I would ditch green sun for either defense of the heart or tooth and nail. green sun is too restrictive with the only getting a green creature thing. Those work better.

Since it looks like your planning on sac'ing i'd consider either of the altar's (phyrexian or ashmod's) extra mana is always helpful. Either way though it looks like a very solid deck.


Edit: Was thinking of butcher of malakir but abysmal gatekeeper would be cool also.

What about Mimic Vat, Kiki-Jiki or Splinter Twin? They would each result in another creature dying each turn (to fuel Kresh), plus you could abuse various ETB or sac effects if need be. Maybe a Grave Pact as well (even if the colours aren't great)?

I actually had gravepact and butcher of malakir both in their at one time but they ended up hurting me more then they helped me because a lot of people play with graveyard advantage or "when this creature dies" effects...


The altars are a great idea, Thanks.

And I had really never thought about the green sun thing either.

kiki-jiki would be awesome... but he is sooooo expensive (in terms of money). So if you want to sell me one for cheap then great otherwise I'm going to have to hold-off. (Also my casual play group doesn't allow proxies unless you own the card).

Lastly, I also had splinter twin in their but i figured out that it doesn't actually pump up kresh because you end up having to exile the token and it doesn't necesarily hit the graveyard. So I will take your suggestion and try with it in their again but I will have to sac the creature or have it die in some way for it to be effective...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, Keep them coming please!
