Osteomancy (Death/Gravity)

[Forlorn Kaiser]

I don't necessarily know if a similar deck has been made but the idea has been ringing with me and I want to try it once I have the cards fully upped.

Basically: Elite Otys grow and eat everything, providing large bonewalls in the process. Unstoppable is there to buff them in case SoFo won't come out early and I want to ignore an annoying shield. Once Otys start eating Graveyard provides additional Oty food or things that can soften up the opponent. SoFo helps with eating annoying permanents (or quanta if it's necessary).

First and foremost obvious weakness are Poison rushes/Dials but hey, I'm open to any criticism and improvement suggestions (mostly on the quanta balance, I'm not sure if I should include more Grav Towers with Soul Catchers around). I made the deck for fun but if it beats anything reliably, we're all good, now are we?

Another thing I'm considering is a 2-off of Overdrive to turn large SoFos into a pretty CC-resistant clock.

I think this deck definitely needs more damage. The Elite skele's are unreliable for damage and the Oty's grow so slowly. I know its supposed to be a control deck but in many games against AI4 and gold I've almost decked out before killing the opponent.

Well, since I'm open to suggestions, what would you include/remove to make the deck a little faster in damage?

I didn't want to build a dischole variant or Swallow so I was looking for other things that can synergize with oty's mass eating, and Graveyard/Bonewall seemed the most logical.

More CC like plague or gravity force. Aflatoxin MIGHT work, but you would need at least three Otys on the field so it doesn't out rush your bone wall. Also, for a heavy hitter, Condor might be good.

[Forlorn Kaiser]

Hm. I do get the idea of Condor. Would -2 Unstoppable, -1 Soul Catcher, +3 Condor work?

After all Unstoppable's only use is to ignore things like Gravity/Diamond shield if SoFo isn't out early.
