Alas, there be cities for plundering, take hold of a longboat and sail the seas to far away lands to plunder and pillage.
My previous list got outdated here, so I've been tinkering with other decks but would like to return to it. My main guidelines are that I have a strict budget and am building with cards that I own or that are cheap to pick up. So no survival of the fittest, pernicious deed, oblivion stone, Damnation, nyvinyrral's disk, sensei's divining top, scroll rack, or demonic tutor etc,. I am looking for a plague boiler, mirri's guile, and lord of extinction however. Please use card tags they are helpful for everyone. Defense of the heart is not in this deck because it makes me too much of a target, and my playgroup is adamantly about killing kresh because I won a few times against the table. If possible I'm looking for lower CC and/or cheaper alternatives, and I'm not touching the mana except for tweaks. I'm trying to fit in Spellbreaker Behemoth, Vexing Shusher, and Insurrection. Without further delay here's the list.
My first general was tolsimir wolfblood with a really bad G/W token deck . The deck lacked power, and got trounced a lot, so I switched to RGB. My first RGB general was sek'kuar. At that time Jund was a terrible deck in standard, but I ran Jund Mana Ramp this was before all of the cascade shenanigans, and the deck was really fun. I still had a token theme, but minimal, the deck was based more on assembling the nether traitor + him + phyrexian altar infi mana combo, and it became stale, and people ganged up on me. So I switched to kresh. Kresh just wins games, let's me go for a more token heavy theme, and as it turns out is one of the most powerful multiplayer generals.
The Gameplan
Coming Soon
Specific Card Choices
Obliterate Ommited because games take forever, and my playgroup hates LD more than counterspells.
Possible Additions
Plague Boiler Mass Removal Spell. Spellbreaker Behemoth Big Guy who stops the feisty blue mages from countering my behemoths. Vexing Shusher Wall to counteract their counterwalls. Dread Big Feary guy who tells people to attack elsewhere. Whispersilk Cloak Kill players with impunity. Rancor Recurrable Trample.
Grave Pact is a must in any Kresh build. Awakening Zone not only makes more token fodder - it's fodder that you can sacrifice at will to activate said Grave Pact. I highly recommend both.
I'm not a fan of Gravepact. Most of the time I've seen people play it, it didn't do enough, also it's dead when someone uses a sweeper. I didn't even run it in Savra. Though they didn't run awakening zone nor nearly as many token generators as I do, so I'll see if I can find one. Awakening Zone, however I actually already decided to add it, when looking through the deck again and pulling out cards. Thanks for reminding me.
I found a birds of paradise, and traded for a bunch of good cards, like living death, greater good, verdant force, and several others. Will update decklist later today.
