Panharmonicon —April 14, 2017

Couple more changes:

Ghostly Prison - - - >Panharmonicon: Ghostly Prison is great but didn't seem to be working with my plan. Watching Panharmonicon in action in my playgroup has shown me just how powerful it can be. In this deck it can help me with my etb removal or life gain triggers

Corpse Dance - - - >Obzedat's Aid: corpse dance's requirement that you can only reanimate the top creature was often quite tricky to navigate. Obzedat's Aid has the flexibility of bringing back any permanent. Aetherflux reservoir, Debtor's Knell, Mimic Vat, Sanguine Bond, and now Panharmonicon are examples of key permanents I would want to bring back.

I'm honestly surprised to see a lack of both Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares. I know Ayli deals with creatures, but she's not going to be available to you.

I really liked Gift of Immortality in my Ayli deck. I would sacrifice the creature (usually Sun Titan) during each opponents second main. With Sun Titan, I would get Gift back with its ETB. I could loop it for as much mana as I had. At 6 life a sac with Ayli, it added up fast.

I could see it getting really dumb with Kokusho. Get a Kokusho trigger during each opponents turn?

scatteredsun, nice suggestion. I see that working very nicely...especially with something like Ashen Rider

HezTheGod, Reanimate is an awesome card. I don't own it though and it's become a little pricey. If I pick one up, it would go in here.

NecroPony, Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile are great and I put them in basically every white deck...except when I'm playing Orzhov. Orzhov has cards like Utter End, Anguished Unmaking, Ashen Rider, Angel of Despair, and Mortify which can target multiple types of permanents. I would throw in Swords if I needed another removal spell on top of those, but I think the deck is good for removal.

Maybe you will find something that helps you with your Ayli deck in mine, I am going for grave/flicker ETB combos, I also have Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip and Kytheon, Hero of Akros  Flip which are great because Planeswalkers that return from the grave and they both play well with Ayli.

I saw that Tree of Perdition is banned but, add Triskaidekaphobia to a deck running tree, it's just funny.

PhotogenicParasympathetic is right, Hidden Stockpile is very strong once you can get it going. I run it over Viscera Seer

Alookeva, I'll definitely give Hidden Stockpile some consideration. I don't own a copy but I'll goldfish with a proxy and test it out :)

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed seems like a good addition

What about replacing Succumb to Temptation with Grim Haruspex?

Also given how many enters the battlefield effects you have, Panharmonicon could add a lot of value.

wylie I've thrown in Grim Haruspex. Good call :) Panharmonicon I've thought about. It's a little overplayed in my playgroup and I'm reluctant to jump on the bandwagon lol

Well done MegaMatt13; love this list! If you don't mind, I'm going to copy it; I have all the required cards :) I was just wondering whether you've considered adding Athreos, God of Passage? Either get something back, or strip someone of some life; sounds like a good deal to me!

NV_1980, glad you like :) it's one of my favourite decks to play.

I had Athreos in earlier on. I actually found he moved a little slowly. I prefer spells that bring creatures back to the battlefield as opposed to hand since you save a lot on mana.
