It's Complicated Being a Wizard. This deck is kind of a spin-off of soul sisters, with a twist--it adds their demented brother from another mother, Blood Seeker into the mix. It also has their older brother, Darien, King of Kjeldor to pump out tokens for damage received, and gain life with Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, or Suture Priest. Blood Seeker hurting fools for summoning creatures. The red-headed step-brother, Norin the Wary , for more trigger fun, and his big bro, Purphoros, God of the Forge , to dish out a little extra pain. Forbidden Orchard for mana of any color and to give opponents tokens and damage with Suture Priest and Blood Seeker, while gaining me life from the sisters and Suture Priest. Archangel of Thune to reward the brothers and sisters with +1/+1's for all their hard work. Genesis Chamber to cheat in some extra creatures, gaining me some extra life, and doing a little extra damage to opponents with help from Forbidden Orchard , Suture Priest , and Blood Seeker. Angelic Accord for some 4/4 flyers and more life gain. And as always, Oblivion Ring for good measure. Thoughts? Suggestions? Feedback welcome!

Illness in the Ranks has been the biggest improvement to this deck, setting up multiple combos with: Forbidden Orchard + Illness in the Ranks + Blood Artist and/or + Blood Seeker and/or +Suture Priest = tap Forbidden Orchard for mana giving a 1/1 colorless token to your opponent and taking 1 life from them in the process from Blood Seeker or Suture Priest, only to have Illness in the Ranks cause that token to die and give you +1 life from Blood Artist and Blood Artist also cause your opponent to lose 1 life again.

Next scenario: The Joys of Mercy Killing . Works as so: say you have a hypothetical beefed up 15/15 Ajani's Pridemate , which can happen pretty quickly, and you sacrifice it with Mercy Killing = 15 1/1 tokens. If you've got any combination of Soul Warden or Soul's Attendant or Suture Priest out you'll gain at least 15 life. If you've got Illness in the Ranks and Blood Artist out those tokens die and you gain more 15 life and your opponent loses 15 life. If you happen to have a Murder Investigation on your 15/15 Ajani's Pridemate then you've got 15 more 1/1 tokens coming to combo in all the same ways. Mercy Killing + Murder Investigation + a beefed up creature is so satisfying to play...

Mercy Killing can also be used on an opponent's creatures, which if you've got Blood Seeker + Illness in the Ranks or Blood Artist + Illness in the Ranks or Illness in the Ranks + Suture Priest or the trifecta Blood Artist + Blood Seeker + Illness in the Ranks , is kinda fun for everyone.

Also trying out Proper Burial to go along with Mercy Killing giving you 15 more life from that hypothetical Ajani's Pridemate + Mercy Killing combo, and Secure the Wastes just for giggles.

Other potential game over combos: Purphoros, God of the Forge + Secure the Wastes , Purphoros, God of the Forge + Mercy Killing , Purphoros, God of the Forge + Mercy Killing + Murder Investigation !

With these updates, the deck is super fun to play and can actually be surprisingly competitive. Although, I'd like to get down from 65 cards to 60 cards, and I really could use advice on the sideboard.
