Out: Vindictive Lich, Vampiric Rites, Plaguecrafter
In: Hanweir Garrison Meld, Krenko, Tin Street Boss, Phyrexian Altar
Vindictive Lich is good, but oftentimes it doesn't survive the turn cycle and the single proc is all I get. Besides, Priest of Forgotten Gods does everything that Vindictive Lich does to ALL players! Hanweir Garrison is in its place! More creatures means more sacrifice and more fun! Plageucrafter is in the same boat and was replaced by Krenko, Tin Street Boss for the same reason.
Vampiric Rites has been...bad...since I made the deck. I was blinded by its manacost, but the fact of the matter is that Phyrexian Altar is just better.
Last_Laugh You already suggested both of those on March 21, 2018. My issue with them is that Gate to Phyrexia isn't a proper sac outlet as it is restricted to upkeep, and Aura Thief doesn't excel in my metagame (5C Dragons, Meren). Chaos Warp has been filling the void for me perfectly.

Whoops. I remembered that I'd suggested Aura Thief but not so much on Gate... my bad. I have the same problem with Aura Thief, it's definitely meta specific.

Last_Laugh Which, to be fair, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be in the deck, just that my meta doesn't vy for its inclusion in THIS list. I should honestly add cards to the sideboard just to show off situational picks that fit the archetype but should only be included in certain metas. You've given me some food for thought, and I may just try that out.

I have another color wheel breaker for you to consider, Gate to Phyrexia. Also, did you ever try Aura Thief? It's really good if you have a lot of stuff like Sylvan Library, Ghostly Prison, Aura Shards etc. in your meta.
