For the longest time now, I've been playing this cute little deck of mine, Sneak-Mancy. It's a classic Sneak Attack deck with Pyromancy thrown in as an additional win, and this deck has been the terror at my school and local shop areas.

Now, there's this new creature coming out in Guildpact, called Yore-Tiller Nephilim http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16537&d=1137474042 , which really caught my eye. I realized immediately it's usefulness, being able to bring back a creature from the grave to swing again for a big win. However, its competing with another "win" creature in the deck, Sutured Ghoul http://sales.starcitygames.com/cardsearch.php?singlesearch=Sutured Ghoul . My dilemma is, comparing the deck make, would it be more feasible to win with the Ghoul or the Nephilim? Provided is the deck list:

Multi-color:
4x Autochthon Wurm

White:
3x Academy Rector
4x Enlightened Tutor

Red:
4x Dragon Tyrant
4x Crater Hellion
2x Shivan Phoenix
4x Sneak Attack
2x Pyromancy

Black:
2x Sutured Ghoul

Artifact:
4x Darksteel Colossus
4x Draco
3x Mana Vault

Land:
2x Plains
7x Mountains
4x Battlefield Forge
4x City of Brass
3x High Market

My idea was to replace the two Ghouls, or even the Phoenixes as well with the Nephilim. That way, I have better chances of drawing one for the win, or possibly just keeping it to 2, or 3. What do you think?

thats a tough call...but i like the new dude over the zombie... sense you can attack with more critters then just one big one.

massing is fun...

Yore Tiller just screams "reanimator".

i'm curious as to know how the other ones will fare. just think of the red one, or the white one, erm, meaning the one that lacks said color.

oh yeah. i'd say go for the ghoul. it's more solid then the Yore tiller. the Ghoul, while only activating once. can be more devastating in a one or two color deck. while the Yore needs four mana to summon it. while this may sound better. it's four different types.
go with the ghoul. skip the Yore
