Updated for Ixalan standard.

The goal is to minimize the limitations of G-PG by casting smaller creatures with good abilities, making them a bigger body (4/4) with cool/problematic effects. This version of the deck has a bit more artifacts so Marionette Master seemed like a logical fit. (Also shows how versatile and creative you can get with reanimator) Reanimate a marionette master as 7/7 or fabricate some servos that chump for 12 dmg?!? Sick. Two marionettes out is win and people won't want to kill your artifacts... Sac Perpetual Timepiece to reload and that isnt even mentioning how problematic angel is. 4/4 vigi lifelink is good enough to bring more synergy with marionette. If only there was an artifact version of sacred cat! Try it out!

Always appreciate feedback.
