Bloodcurdler helps a ton with this, as does Golgari Thug if it ends up in the graveyard. If Bloodcurdler starts removing cards in the graveyard from the game you don't want it to, just sacrifice it and worry about it later, when it'll be more useful as a 2/2 flier. Anything that's needed can be fetched from the graveyard via Eternal Witness, and creatures can be fetched with Golgari Thug or Phyrexian Reclamation. There's also Skullclamp and Fecundity to help find needed cards. Bloodbond March is a big part of this deck, emphasized by creatures with comes-into-play or leaves-play abilities (Eternal Witness, Caller of the Claw, Centaur Safeguard). Once a lot of these creatures are in the grave, play one and return them all, sacrifice them (with Carrion Feeder or Skullclamp), play another, return them all, rinse and repeat. Caller of the Claw could be a possible win condition here, as could Carrion Feeder. In dire situations, Pernicious Deed can blow up the board and make everyone start over, except you already have a head start: everything you need is in the graveyard waiting to be fished out. The Thug can return itself to return the Witness to return anything you want. Have Bloodbond March in play with this and return tons of cards a turn Very Happy . As for the sideboard, Cranial Extraction helps against combo decks, Naturalize, Bone Shredder (great with Bloodbond March!) and Putrefy are there for extra kill if it's needed (especially for expensive cards the Deed can't get rid of easily or a ton of weenies), and Tormod's Crypt ruins decks based out of the graveyard.

	Wizard’s Bloodcurdler Deck V1.56. Clan Contest Entry - Bloodcurdler Deck
	Creatures 4 Bloodcurdler 4 Undead Gladiator 2 Brawn 3 Genesis 3 Glory 2 Wonder 2 Anger 4 Filth Other Spells 4 Cabal Therapy 4 Chainer's Edict 3 Skull Fracture 1 Blanket of Night 1 Sol Ring 1 Vampiric Tutor Lands 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Watery Grave 4 Overgrown Tomb 4 Scrubland 4 Temple Garden 2 Swamp	The bloodcurdler throws cards into your graveyard. Most of the cards in the deck are either flashback cards or incarnations.. and thus they can only do you good in your graveyard. To compliment the incarnations, I have dual lands that are more than one basic land type to make sure you get the full effect of your incarnations. To keep your Bloodcurdler from getting threshold? Genesis and Flashback cards... There is sol ring for mana acceleration. Vampiric Tutor for a needed tutor in tough situations, and one Blanket of Night to combo with Filth (in your graveyard) and all of your other creatures. Undead Gladiator is there as one of your main win conditions, being able to recur from your graveyard and get the full effect of your Incarnations. Plus, he works incredibly well with the Bloodcurlder. There are many different routes you could take with this deck.. but most of all - it is FUN to play. While it uses some cards from T1... it's emphasis is on the fun aspect of the Bloodcurlder ability(ies).

	Bloody Antics.dec. Clan Contest Entry - Bloodcurdler Deck
	Lands 4 Wooded Foothills 4 Bloodstained Mire 4 Bayou 4 Badlands 4 Taiga 1 Snow-Covered Swamp 1 Snow-Covered Forest Creatures 3 Squee, goblin Nabob 4 Bloodcurdler 4 Krovikan Horror 4 Mindless Automaton 4 Vulturous Zombie Other Spells 3 Deathspark 3 Life from the Loam 3 Pernicious Deed 3 Darkblast 3 Ghastly Demise 4 Sensei, Divining Top	The deck below tried to abuse the filterability of the bloodcurdler to filter cards in and out of the graveyard in order to stack the graveyard in a proper way to gain advantage. Better (read "known unoriginal") cards like zombie infestation, psychatog, stormbind and even seismic assault are deliberately avoided. Those cards win almost by themselves, will overshadow the bloodcurdler and have little synergy with the bloodcurdler itself.

	Curdle-A-Tog. Clan Contest Entry - Bloodcurdler Deck
	Land 4 Watery Grave 4 Polluted Delta 4 Underground Sea 3 Gemstone Mine 2 City of Brass 1 Swamp 1 Island 1 Library of Alexandria Creatures 4 Bloodcurdler 2 Dimir Doppelganger 3 Morphling 4 Psychatog Other Spells 3 Cunning Wish 3 Reanimate 4 Mesmeric Orb 4 Recurring Nightmare 2 Exhume 1 Yawgmoth's Will 1 Diabolic Tutor 1 Imperial Seal 1 Demonic tutor 1 Vampiric Tutor 1 Mox Jet 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Mox Pearl 1 Black Lotus 1 Time Walk 1 Ancestral Recall Sideboard 3 Chains of Mephistopheles 1 Time Twister 1 Reanimate 1 Coffin Purge 1 Hurkyll's Recall 1 Golden Wish 1 Standstill 1 Propaganda 1 Crucible of Worlds 1 Feldon's Cane 1 Misdirection 1 Powder Keg 1 Exhume	This deck is based around milling, but not your opponent. Curdler comes down early to start the milling party, and later in the game Mesmeric orb hits the table, but only when you've got enough permanents for it to be effective. Once the graveyard is nice and full, you can drop a 'tog. If the tog gets milled with the Curdler or Orb, Recurring nightmare lets you trade it with the Curdler. The sideboard, other than Chains of Mephistopheles, is a toolbox. Chains of Mephistopheles is in there to combat decks that use cards like Fact or Fiction and other big card drawing spells. Cunning Wish shows up to search for cards like Time Twister in case the deck mills itself too much, Another Reanimate and Exhume for consistency, a Coffin Purge as sideboard tech against other recursion decks, Misdirection in case we have problems with people trying to target us with really big Fireballs and whatnot, and Hurkyll's Recall for Affinity. If you need the enchantments or artifacts in the deck, you Cunning Wish for Golden Wish, and then are able to access Feldon's Cane if milling becomes a problem, Powder Keg to blow up a heavy board, Propaganda to stop attacks and Standstill for card advantage against beats, and even Crucible of Worlds to play the lands you dropped into the grave with Bloodcurdler and Mesmeric Orb.
