Herald of Leshrac is an absolute must grab for fun upkeep triggers, it let's you forcibly slow down the players who've ramped up, while giving yourself advantage. It also doesn't target, so it gets around hexproof and nobody will know what you're taking until you do.

C O O L !

Cavern of Souls best tribal land.

Kindred Discovery value.

Kindred Summons more value.

Herald of Leshrac seems incredible in a 5 color deck.

World Queller really unique effect and fits the tribe.

+1 for including Herald of Leshrac and using one of the original legends.

Not much i see to add here but Steel of the Godhead would be useful

Very cool build! I always found Nethroi to be the most interest of the big Mutate critters, and I hadn't thought of the combo with Scourge of the Skyclaves - very clever!

A while back I made a deck around Grenzo, Dungeon Warden that was also concerned with featuring lots of nasty critters with 2 or less power, particularly if they actually had a lot higher power than that once they were in play. Some other bruisers you can reanimate for free include Arcbound Overseer, Nighthowler, Noosegraf Mob and Sewer Nemesis - they might be worth considering! Archfiend's Vessel also feels like a shoo-in, only using up one point of power but leaving you with a huge flyer.

I found it was also handy to have little creatures who could impact the board upon arrival, namely via some handy removal. Bone Shredder, Big Game Hunter and Duplicant feel like superior choices, though there are plenty out there.

There are a couple other nasty low-power critters I'd recommend - Herald of Leshrac can really rule the board (though he draws a lot of fire) and Doom Weaver seems like a great opportunity to draw a lot of cards. I hope some of these ideas help!

Not one people usually consider but fits in with your theme of steal stuff: Herald of Leshrac, Worst Fears, Mindslaver.

I love theft game play. If your looking for more inspiration check out Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Sen Triplets)

Good luck out there.

Hehe, discard, what a great strategy.

Here are my recommendations for mass discard spells; Awaken the Erstwhile, Ill-Gotten Gains, Fraying Omnipotence and Delirium Skeins.

For black mana ramp, here is what I found; Spoils of Evil, Culling the Weak, Herald of Leshrac, Black Market and Cabal Ritual. Obliviously, they aren't putting lands into play, most are only giving you mana on the spot. You could also add mana rocks like Everflowing Chalice or some of the few black lands that ramp you a lot like Cabal Coffers with Urborg which are really expensive. I like the combo between Culling the Weak and Ophiomancer : create a snake with Ophiomancer and sacrifice it with Culling the Weak. Note: with Culling the Weak, you can sacrifice any number of creatures for 4 black mana each.

I hope it's going to help you, good luck with your deck LoneSniper72!
