Actually, I see what to do here. Thank you for the suggestion, Knight of Autumn is kind of too good not to include. The fact that it's main use is to destroy something, but its backup abilities are both super relevant with either lifegain or +1/+1 counters is too good not to just use. Not to mention being a creature that costs 3 or less, so it can be substituted in the mainboard.

Despark and now Anguished Unmaking were about exiling a permanent Abrupt Decay couldn't. But not only does that no longer seem necessary, with things like The One RingGC already banned, but I already have other ways to deal with threats or specific things I would need removed. And with Anguished Unmaking already costing 3, I might as well switch that one out for Knight of Autumn.

Great suggestion, thanks!

Yeah, zapyourtumor, I agree! It's been super fun to update and evolve the deck as more and more creatures come out that can fit in this combo shell. And it's been awesome to start with -1/-1 counters and persist and end up with +1/+1 counters and tokens.

In regards to Knight of Autumn, it's a valid note. I've toyed with having it on the side for a long time. I like the idea that it's a creature and can be substituted in mainboard if needed. Especially with this version of the deck, the counters add a ton of interesting play lines. But it seems more narrow than Abrupt Decay and Anguished Unmaking. That is just for now though. As more cards come out, I'm sure there will be a reason to have to go down to one removal slot on the side, or something like that. I would include it, I just don't know what I'd take out for it at the moment

Crazy how the deck has evolved from melira persist to what it is now with like five iterations in between. I was surprised to not see Knight of Autumn though?

Some thoughts:

• Flood Plain is not modern-legal.

• your mana curve is very, very high and I would heavily suggest lowering it. Particularly, both Cowardice and Glare of Subdual feel like they shouldn’t be here.

• creatures to consider adding in include Ice-Fang Coatl, Watcher for Tomorrow, Soulherder, Skyclave Apparition, Wall of Blossoms, Wall of Omens, Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip, Knight of Autumn, and Venser, Shaper Savant.

• a non-creature spell to consider adding is Ephemerate. In competitive Soulherder lists this is usually the only non-creature spell the deck runs.

I'd add 6 or so lands. There's just not near enough there. It also seems you're expecting a really long game with cards to reshuffle stuff into your library and gain life. You start at 40 health. If you're taking that much damage, the extra 5 here or there aren't saving you. And reshuffling cards from the graveyard into the library is only going to be useful if you're playing against a mill deck or you somehow draw your entire deck. Both somewhat uncommon situations.

Cards under $3 that you might consider:
Nature's Lore
Rishkar's Expertise
Cultivate
Rampant Growth
Farseek
Kodama's Reach
Colossal Majesty
Return of the Wildspeaker
Beast Within
Nature's Claim
Thunderfoot Baloth
Rootweaver Druid
Reclamation Sage
Cathar Commando
Knight of Autumn
Qasali Pridemage
Thrashing Brontodon
Ranging Raptors
Regisaur Alpha
Shifting Ceratops
Territorial Hammerskull
Territorial Allosaurus
Topiary Stomper
Atzocan Seer
Tribal Forcemage
Naya Charm
Road of Return
Boros Charm

Cards that I would call easily expendable:
Suncleanser
Cacophodon
Looming Altisaur
Imperial Ceratops
Wilderness Reclamation
Verdant Haven
Gift of Paradise
Fertile Ground
Oketra's Last Mercy
Rolling Thunder
Serene Remembrance
Elixir of Immortality
Oketra's Monument
Alhammarret's Archive
Sanguine Sacrament
Slice in Twain
Enter the Unknown
Boros Signet
Gruul Signet
Selesnya Signet

wallisface Yeah, you're probably right. Bloodmage is a bit of a pet card, I've always had a soft spot for modal creatures like Knight of Autumn and when I made the list I thought "Oh this guy can draw cards and nuke graveyards" so I was gonna give him a try. I like the idea of the reanimation spells, I might have to try those.

I have replaced Reclamation Sage with Distinguished Conjurer, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.37 to 3.35, since the latter card shall be awesome for this deck, and the deck already contains both Knight of Autumn and Loran of the Third Path.

Squee_Spirit_Guide - The build has definitely been exposing me to some new themes/cards and it pretty fun to play! Now I just need another knight themed expansion that involves knights with abilities that trigger when they enter like Knight of Autumn...then I will be in business! It is pretty entertain to sac Knight of Autumn, search for a different knight to place on the field, then re-cast Knight of Autumn only to destroy an artifact/enchantment my opponent just played their previous turn. Very satisfying :D
