Ghost Husk (BW)

Ghost Husk is a recent addition to the CHK- RAV metagame. It is mainly based around using Nantuko Husk and Promise of Bunrei do deal 20 damage ASAP.



Debuing around PTQ Charleston time, this deck scraps the discard found in Hand in Hand for a more synergistic approach to killing its opponent. Full of sacrifice effects, the deck uses Promise of Bunrei to create tokens, and plagued rusulka to keep early board control. Orzhov Pontiff can destroy opponents creatures or boost the decks tokens before an attack. Late game Ghost Council of Orzhova is used to win, if a nantuko husk hasn't shown up earlier. This is a fairly average build:

4 Godless Shrine 4 Caves of Koilos 1 Eiganjo Castle 1 Shizo, Death's Storehouse 7 Swamp 5 Plains


22 Land

4 Nantuko Husk 4 Dark Confidant 4 Plagued Rusalka 3 Isamaru, Hound of Konda 3 Ghost Council of Orzhova 3 Orzhov Pontiff 3 Savannah Lions 3 Kami of Ancient Law


24 Creatures 4 Mortify 4 Promise of Bunrei 3 Umezawa's Jitte


14 Other Spells Sideboard 3 Grave Pact 3 Last Gasp 2 Seize the Soul 3 Mindslicer 1 Castigate 3 Shining Shoal


The deck can struggle against heartbeat combo due to a lack of disruption, so post sideboarding Mindslicer rips the players hand apart, leaving a few creatures to cruise in for the kill. Promise of Bunrei also leaves the deck with something post Wrath of God, and all it takes is an Orzhov Pontiff to win a game post-wrath.
