Instant

You gain 2 life, draw two cards, then discard two cards.

Some self mill could be a good here. Some options worth thinking about are Jace's Archivist, Windfall, Mesmeric Orb, Traumatize (or similar effects), Mirror-Mad Phantasm, Tunnel Vision, Faithful Mending.

That’s still how I feel about sheoldred. My personal favorite pioneer deck, Esper greasefang, has a very large amount of draw spells and cantrips i.e. Faithful Mending, Consider, And Tainted Indulgence. My only removal is Fatal Push which I rarely ever get revolt active on. With all the Rakdos midrange decks running around all playing a full play set of sheoldred,I feel like it could be banned, but maybe that’s just me.

Assume no mulligans (7 cards), no fetchlands and no extra carddraw (past turn 5, 5 cards drawn); the hypergeometric calculator says that no bolts in a sample size of 26 cards is about 9,5%, that feels like it should be smaller.

Say you cast Faithful Mending twice and played 3 fetch lands, upping the sample size to 33, that increases the chance to see at least one Lightning Bolt to 96,4%. About one in 30 games still, that is expected to happen.

Some thoughts, keeping in mind your budget:

  • I would swap both Cut Down and Murderous Rider for Bone Shards. Rider is too slow, and Cut has too-few options for targets. Bone Shards deals with almost any threat, while letting you discard a reanimation piece into the graveyard.

  • I would suggest running the full playsets (4-ofs) both Faithful Mending and Tainted Indulgence. To make room for those five cards i’d suggest ditching Gifts Ungiven, Lively Dirge, (both too slow), and a single land.

  • I think your land count can go down to 23. In addition to the land removed above, i’d suggest getting rid of another, as well as the Terror of Towashi, to run 2x Unmarked Grave and a single copy of Unburial Rites. The Unmarked Grave can put anything into your graveyard for just 2 mana, which could include the Rites to flashback, if you already have a creature target.

Balaam__: In the attempt to make a Standard deck idea viable in Pioneer, this is definitely the concern I have as well; especially given the prevalence of Thoughtseize. I've considered adding something like Censor but I'm not sure what to take out, maybe Thirst for Discovery, Faithful Mending, or Consider? Is this what you would do? Any other thoughts? I appreciate your opinion on the matter as I had the same reservations. I guess I was hoping it would work quick enough that this wouldn't be an issue but you're probably right in stating I need to account for this.

Some thoughts:

  • 20 lands is a very low number. 20-land decks are typically happy being stuck on 1-land for a few turns, and don’t have any expectation to hit 3-lands on-curve. Conversely, your deck is filled with high mana cards and a requirement to get lands in play on-curve. Imo you need at least 24 lands.

  • Even with a higher land count, your curve just looks too high. Stuff like Extinguish All Hope is just too unrealistic to expect to cast.

  • I think you have too many high-mana enchants you’re expecting to be able to cheat-into-play from the graveyard, but nowhere-near enough ways to actually pitch these cards into the grave. As a reference, typical Esper-Reanimator decks have only 5ish worthwhile reanimation targets, 6ish cards to actually reanimate, and 10+ cards that let them pitch things into the grave (it’s worth adding those pitch cards are things like Faithful Mending and Tainted Indulgence which also help dig deeper into the deck). I think your current ratios and general lack of deck-digging ability is going to make the deck really clumsy.

  • imo stuff like Dash Hopes isn’t useful… the opponent will always choose the option you don’t want them to. You’re not presenting any immediate threat to their life total so they probably just take-5 and continue to beat you down with whatever they cast.
