TOTAL: 39 cards + Hero

Very odd deck. I am not sure it knows what it is doing really. But, the breakdown...

For draw
---------------
4x Scheuth Tombstone - With 18 undead allies in the deck you are sure to get good use of this. It's draw and resource acceleration in one.
2x Tome of Knowledge - Just solid draw
4x Shadow Knight (pseudo draw)

For creature removal
--------------
4x Curse of Transmogrification - I love this card! Deals permanently with threats you can't deal with otherwise.
4x Lightning Bolt - For those times when you are swarmed and just need a break.

For Item Destruction
---------------
4x Rapacious Vermin - Ever wanted to kill an item or ability? Here is your chance. Works better in concert with Curse of Transmogrification. (and you can always bring em back with Shadow Knight if you need more copies)

For a little extra
--------------
3x Bone Sabre - This is a lot like Portal for Undead. It's pretty amazing when it works. (don't try it on Gargoyle like I did tho)

For beatdown
----------------
The rest. I'm not sure if I need Der'kan or not. I might be swapping him out soon. Not sure for what, any suggestions?

But the rest of the undead are all solid plays.

Are all names we know and love. And Harbringer is very nice for a 2 drop IMHO.

Add to that Raikka's ability and you've got a pretty stout ally force.

Suggestions appreciated.

If you have a bunch of Undeads to beat people with , why no Grave Resistance ? It can be use any time , giving all your undeads Gary's passive , and we all know how troublesome Gary is .

Raikka's ability + Grave Resistance makes your allies invulnerable to most 3-cc allies .

You don't have fireball. Start with 4 of those.

Enjoyed this deck honestly... though I do feel it could be tightened up - and I actually prefer the 4x Lightning Strike rather than 4x Fireball for this build (if you're going to go short on burn, LS is generally going to be better than Fireball from my experience)

[akratch]

I'm not telling you to use fb instead of ls. You need both.

I agree on alzorath. Raikka Spellseeker is an ally-focused hero. So she will need Lightning Strike in order to get back the board. Overall, I think she is a weak hero but ehhh might be usable.
