, , Sacrifice another creature: You gain life equal to that creature's toughness. Draw a card.

Ok, with more context, there are more cards I can suggest. Lurrus of the Dream-Den and Omen of the Dead are a pretty cool value engine. Gravebreaker Lamia is a version of Oriq Loremage. As you're also including , Doomed Traveler is perfect. To draw cards, I heavily suggest Grim Haruspex and/or Smothering Abomination. With enough tribal synergy, Species Specialist could work, as well. Oh, and Elenda, the Dusk Rose is just nuts. Bushmeat Poacher is another underrated card to draw cards.

While it prevents this combo, it also works out in your favor a lot of the time. No one can respond to costs being paid, so if you announce that you're sacrificing a creature to, say, Bushmeat Poacher, the opponent can't exile the creature you're sacrificing to prevent you from gaining the life and drawing a card.

Spell_Slam, sorry for the delay. I stopped playing last Summer due to life, but I'm picking things back up again. Lots of good recommendations! I appreciate the depth to which you went through things.

For a few things, the spider flavour is why the card is being played, even though they might not be a great card. From my games played last summer, this deck is somewhat overpowered compared to the others, so I'm cool with having some weaker on-theme cards in the deck.

Elvish Skysweeper is awesome, but the obscene amounts of Reach I have makes it unnecessary.

Then I prefer Wander in Death over some other recursion spells because it is still usable if I've already exiled every creature from the GY, which did happen a couple times in played games. I'm big on drawing cards. That's why I play so many cantripping creatures and card-draw spells.

You're 100% right about Wildsize and Rancor. They're coming out. Overall, the suggestions and critique you gave led to me cutting 5 non-creature spells in favor of creatures. Carrion Imp coming in alongside Crypt Creeper helps me feel good about knocking out Scarab Feast (and Rancor, which is indeed weird here). Then Bushmeat Poacher is just a phenomenal new card for this deck, so I cut a card-draw spell there. I love Heart Warden and am glad you showed me the card exists.

Thanks again!

Bushmeat Poacher would be the only card in the entire set worth putting in. And I don't think that card is worth a slot for this particular play style. It's be perfect for the old build of this deck though. I think the new set is awesome and I'll be putting some of the cards in my other decks. Just not this one unfortunately. I'd love to hear your recommendations though.

For instant speed sacrifice there's Carrion Feeder for one mana, and Flesh-Eater Imp which costs more but has infect so it can on occasion one shot someone. Then for more value from a sacrifice there's Stronghold Assassin which in this deck lets you take out two creatures, the one you took control of and any other of your choice. Then Sadistic Hypnotist is instant speed and makes them discard. Then for card draw there's Vampiric Rites a repeatable Altar's Reap and Costly Plunder is the same as Altar's Reap. And other card draw is Bushmeat Poacher and Smothering Abomination but that last one may kill some of your creatures by accident.
