As an additional cost to play Haunting Misery, remove X creature cards in your graveyard from the game.

Haunting Misery deals X damage to target player.

Is there any chance we can get a Fluctuator Hub for the Premodern decks? Its a pretty cool Combo deck that centers on Fluctuator but has cool variations for a deck payoff via Living Death and Haunting Misery/Drain Life.

I rlly want to put Tranquility in there because the deck has no enchantments but I don't know what to swap it with. Also, what do you all think about Haunting Misery

There's a fringe combo archetype call One-Land Spy. It basically plays a single forest, fetchable with Land Grant, a bunch of ways to ramp into Balustrade Spy or Destroy the Evidence to get your whole deck into the graveyard at once. From there, there are plenty of ways to win, typically casting a Haunting Misery for 20 something, retrieving it from the graveyard off Anarchist, casting it by flasbacking Morgue Theft, with mana generated from Songs of the Damned and rituals.

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/1-land-spy-hard-mode/ That one is a more elaborate version IMO, which wins through looping songs of the damned, to pay for a second loop which could be either Gray Merchant of Asphodel to drain life, or Balustrade Spy to mill your opponent.

The only thing you should be changing from that version is Gitaxian Probe which isn't pauper legal anymore. Replacing those, players are using cantrips like Manamorphose or cycling creatures, mana fixers like Abundant Growth, Springleaf Drum or mana dorks, rituals like Culling the Weak, or even stuff like Commune with Nature to dig for spy.

tkraak maybe, when I tested a similar list I found that with Consume Spirit I only could get lethal with very lucky hands where I could chain several Songs of the Damned and immediately had Consume to cast, whereas Haunting Misery I only needed to keep 3 mana up while I cycled my deck down to 10 cards or so.

TheChaosVault, I briefly considered Haunting Misery but I think that Consume Spirit is a flashier way to win.

As for the Snow-Covered Swamps, they're purely aesthetic. They serve no real purpose in the list.

I like the list, although I personally prefer Haunting Misery as a wincon. May I as though, why snow covered swamps?

Soul Exchange is not Pauper legal, whatever TO may say. However, Exhume, which does not require you to have a creature to exile, is. Also, Ulamog's Crusher and Haunting Misery, while both perfectly fine wincons by themselves, don't really fit in the same deck. Misery is ideal for combo decks such as Cycling Songs and One Land Spy, whereas Crusher is best when reanimated early before the opponent can answer the threat. It would likely be better to focus either on the Misery combo plan or add more reanimation targets.
