I am looking for advice for this deck, but given the difficulty of culling cards down to the current hundred, I would like advice not only on what is good, but also why it is better than a current card on the list.

The concept of the deck is to abuse Ayli's lifegain and sacrifice outlets to start sending creatures through the graveyard. The following abilities are prioritized: lifegain, enter the battlefield or leave the battlefield effects, death triggers, and methods to bring creatures out of the graveyard back onto the battlefield.

While the deck easily functions without them, the premier force multiplier cards are Blade of Selves, Conjurer's Closet, and Panharmonicon. For example, think about the effect of three token Rune-Scarred Demons entering the battlefield off of myriad triggers, tutoring up the three cards you need next, doing damage to your opponents, and then ending as sacrifice fodder for Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim . Or having the double triggers from Panharmonicon when Angel of Serenity enters play, and sacrificing the angel immediately so that the enemy creatures are permanently exiled in the same way that Oblivion Ring is broken.

Lifeline is probably the weirdest card in the deck, and the card I somewhat built the deck around. As long as something survives on the battlefield, death doesn't matter and everything comes back in the end step. Since we can get around that limitation with our sacrifice fueled exile effects, it only makes sense to also be sure to get extra value from every one of our deaths while we are doing so.

Anyway, please upvote and/or comment!
