Stroll up Stroll up, and try your luck at a game of chance here at the undead casino

This is loosely based on the popular and successful necro lists, but leans more heavily into cheating out fatties in various different ways

Game plan is as follows. Get shapeshift, or falling star + a fatty in opening hand , and a tower + whatever else you need for threshold (ie 2 water + tower for a turn 3 shapeshift). Dhol chants is often better if its drawn later on when board state is more developed so we are not too bothered about seeing it in open hand.

1st turn drop site make token

2nd turn drop site make token, ideally croaking swamp for a 2nd turn 2 token. Move 1st token forward if not afraid of deserts

3rd turn drop tower and play out shape shift on one of the non summon sick tokens

or

Drop tower and play out falling star on top of avatar in such a way that make it difficult to get away. Ideally you will have a fatty in hand to use with it when the time comes, but its also okay to use the turns between cast and fall to draw into a decent power creature.

Yog and great old one (GOO) are obviously best in terms of raw damage, doom is just sweet anytime we can cheat it in but Archangel is also a good star faller since we get genesis ability b4 strike, lord of lies nice, vampires gain life from any strikes, lacuna can drag a weaker minion into the star fall. Even the humble cat can take out something and leave a threat.

With Dhol chants you want at least 6 taps on it else its not really worth it. Remember u can tap avatar if its not tapped already for chants to draw 1 more. Don't forget Chants can cast anything, not just minions, So mesmerism, Pnakotic manuscript, Atlanta Fate, whirling blades. All very swingy cards

If we aren't cheating then it plays like a regular water deck. Try to always make a skeleton every turn, meaning if you want to play a 3 mana card, do it on turn 4 instead of 3 if possible. Shapeshift and falling star are pretty much the only exceptions to this. Or to save yourself significant damage. Use the skelly to your advantage , don't waste them. More skellys alive means bigger Dhol chants or more cards to draw off Pnakotic manuscript.

Mephisto seems weird but he is good if you have a fatty in hand. Shape shift and falling both get around his casting restriction. He is also okay to hard cast when ya on death door. Especially if u can cheat out some evil from hand with him. Most off the top end cheat targets are all evil. Doom, Yog, GOO, lacuna, Wendigooner all monsters. Lord of lies, lilith and succubus are demons, and vampires are undead. Lots of evil in this casino! Muahahahahaha
