Changed a few cards —July 23, 2018

  • Night of Soul Betrayal -> Gonti, Lord of Luxury (the combo NoSB/FO doesn't work quite well in this deck and I like the versality of Gonti. Plus recursion = multiple uses!)

  • Forbidden Orchard & Crypt of Agadeem -> 2 Swamps (those lands are underperforming, and more swamps = more mana from Coffers and all)

  • Beseech the Queen -> Magus of the Will (Non-instants recursion. Sweet)

  • Cremate -> Shred Memory (For just 1 more mana it can exile 4 and the draw can be replaced with the transmute. With Toshiro I can transmute and then use it's effect)

Battlebond spoiled some new toys that will be very beneficial to toshiro especially Stunning Reversal

If you're really desperate for noncreature removal in there's Gate to Phyrexia (also Phyrexian Tribute I guess), especially with Liquimetal Coating. Dunno if you have the creature fuel though

Oh and Xenic Poltergeist since you've got a decent amount of removal that works on artifact creatures (also combos with the Liquimetal Coating for wider removal)

I suggest Chaos Wand would be good to use your opponent's own spells

I've also discovered a combo with Hatred and Dead Man's Chest with any kill spell

Coward_Token Thank you for your suggestions ! I don't think I should add too much more noncreature removal (the Oblivion Stone and Scour From Existence should do enough for now) but I keep your suggestions in mind. The sacrifice cost is a bit difficult most of the times unless I have a token generator on the field though...

gdm1989 I don't know if I want to use my opponent's instants, I think I have enough of my own, don't you thinK ?I don't see what value using my opponents could bring me... But it is a fun card :) I like the idea of the Dead Man's Chest, I'll consider it seriously. I'm looking to remove the Night of Soul's Betrayal combo because most of the times it just doesn't pull enough weight in my deck so I might use that instead.

gdm1989 Would you consider Shrouded Lore to bring it back again after it's been used the first time? I think it's a nice political card (plus with enough mana politics aren't an issue) but I'm not sure about putting it in the deck.

I don't know to be honest when it comes down to grabbing stuff back in the graveyard I've been using Magus of the Will in my variant but it depends on the opponent and how friendly they are to help you out

I don't know how I forgot about Magus of the Will. I remember looking for it some time ago, but I completely forgot about him. I should add him asap, it should be worth it :)

It's worth the slot in case your trump card goes to the grave. I believe it will be a better replacement for Fleshbag Marauder Other cards that work very well with toshiro is

Virtus the Veiled Either they lose half their life or deal with toshiro's ability

Desecration Demon same thing 6 in the face or deal with toshiro's ability

Archfiend of Depravity no life gain plus double damage prey to the heavens you dont use Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate

Nightmare's Thirst you are running a lot of lifegain so this can get rid of indestructables

Detection Tower hexproof can be a problem

gdm1989 Fleshbag Marauder is at home in this deck, there is so much this card does here... To the point where I thought about adding the Orc who does the same effect. But I'll find some room for it. I'm not a fan of Exsanguinate and the Archfiend of Despair sounds a bit too different to the main strategy so I probably won't include them. For the Detection Tower effect I have the Arcane Lighthouse, I might add this one too but not right now, I have to add a few swamps.

I don't gain that much life at all so I don't know about Nightmare's Thirst, and Virtus sounds good but I don't know. I'll consider him :)

Thank you for the ideas though!
