Vineroz' Crying Mummies

   Vineroz’s Crying Mummy deck is an interesting twist on Nymph’s Tears.  The Nymph’s Tears card allows both creature control with Death as well as granting Pillar control on the opponent.  However, it does suffer from some problems.  Even Vineroz admitted the damage output is low and the number of creatures is high.  He added Vultures to counter this problem, but I’m just not sure the combo would be strong enough to support them.  This deck wins by dragging out the game long enough to pull the opponent down first.  In addition, it has two different shields, with conflicting uses.  Bonewalls synergize more with the Death Nymph, so I’d suggest adding two more and replacing the last with a Death pillar.  In addition, I’d remove two Vultures and add two Bone Dragons, as well as the Plagues for another Mummy and Bone Dragon.  The other problem with the deck is that Nymph’s Tears and Water Nymphs’ pillar denial is often too late to be of much use, but it can help in certain situations.  Below is a modified code.

An excellent series.  Definitely fun, and even can be worthy as Arena decks at optimum performance, assuming the 5-feature-card minimum and 35+ decksize allows such, also whether or not the deck has the capability to defend against the common strategy of Arena grinders.
Rule #1: The Captain is never wrong.  Rule #2: If the Captain is wrong, refer to Rule #1.
