Modern Necromancer's Stockpile

M15 has been one of the coolest core sets in recent history. Seriously, they have printed so many just COOL cards that are going to be played across many formats. However, today I want to talk about one card in particular:

Necromancer's Stockpile

Some people have been discussing what implications this card will have in Modern in tandem with cards like Gravecrawler, Vengevine, or Bloodghast. That said, let's look at a sample decklist I came up with:

Creatures - 22
4 Gravecrawler
4 Bloodghast
4 Vengevine
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Demigod of Revenge
2 Squee, Goblin Nabob

Spells - 18
4 Necromancer's Stockpile
3 Darkblast
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Faithless Looting
3 Grisly Salvage

Lands - 20
4 Verdant Catacombs
4 Marsh Flats
1 Overgrown Tomb
1 Stomping Ground
1 Blood Crypt
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
4 Blackcleave Cliffs
2 Copperline Gorge
2 Swamp


Now the main point of this deck is to take advantage of cards like Necromancer's Stockpile and Faithless Looting to put Vengevine and Demigod of Revenge into the graveyard, and then bring them back with land drops (Bloodghast), by having another zombie (Gravecrawler), or simply by casting another copy (Demigod). I think this list could potentially be a little too "cute" as the format is a little too fast for this kind of deck, but it's still a cool idea that could be developed and further explored. Necromancer's Stockpile is just too cool of a card to let go to waste.
