Update time! —Aug. 17, 2021

I just bought the Planar Portal precon and did some updates. Besides exchanges some lands and adding Bojuka Bog for even more grave hate, I made the following changes:

Out:

Greven, Predator Captain

Sisters of Stone Death

Elixir of Immortality

Nylea, Keen-Eyed

In:

Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant

Disrupt Decorum

Hellish Rebuke

Rakdos Signet


There are more cards from the precon I'm considering, but I haven't yet found a cut for them. Among these is Rakdos Charm, which is simply great here. I'm very open for suggestions for that or other cards from the precon you think might work here.

Thanks for your attention ;D

To everyone interested:

I managed to pull an Endurance from a MH2 pack, and I have the intention of adding it here. After pondering for a while if I should remove Flesh / Blood or Leyline of the Void , I decided to keep Leyline. My reasoning is as follows: Leyline is insane early game, but can make my remaining gravehate useless. This isn't a problem though, as I have no pure gravehate cards. Every single one of them has an alternate mode or is good enough without the hate already. When I drop Leyline late, it synergizes with my other gravehate in that it keeps graves empty once I cleared them. Flesh / Blood is a one-shot one-card gravehate that can alter as a Soul's Fire for 3 or 7 mana. Against decks where gravehate is important, that's a terrible rate, and only playing it for the creature removal isn't worth it. Endurance will usually be both a damage-based removal spell for an attacker and a one-shot full-grave removal for 3 or often even 0 mana. It can also be recursion for those grindy games where I really need lots of cards from my graveyard again. This is a strict upgrade and a welcome addition to the deck.

Soon-to-be Froghemoth may be solid addition considering the swiss-army grave-hate & chip-lifegain themes

Gleeock: Ooooh, great idea. Finally, a second card from the set I could use.

You asked me about recent adds. Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant slots in either your "Value" category or potentially "Survive" category as being Voltron'd is less of the threat with him & one big battlecruiser coming my way has been more of a problem for the spider than swing-wide. I added Fevered Suspicion because it is a fun bomb... but doesn't seem as on-point for you. Den of the Bugbear & Hive of the Eye Tyrant have been good utility lands for me.. One making more polymorph fodder. The other being more gravehate. Death Tyrant self-enables recursion & keeps the zombie train rolling.

Gleeock: Thanks, these are great suggestions. I've pulled hive from apack and actually considered adding it here. I'll do that now, but I'll have to think what to take out for it. A masic seems the easiest way, but then again, it's another potential tap land. Both beholders seem very interesting, but I stumbled into problems when I considered them: Death Tyrant, as cool as it is, doesn't really fit that well. Karazikar is a great card to support Thantis, and he also grants additional value. I even missed the anti-voltron tech. I decided against him before, but that changes things. I still have no idea what to replace with him, but I'll think about it.

The remaining suggestions are fine for Thantis in general. Thanks a lot for the feedback! :)

*A basic...

I'm getting more and more frustrated the more uninteligible my miss-spelling becomes -.-
