Thanks for your thoughts n0bunga. Thalakos Deceiver seems ok, but a bit slow... I'll put it in the maybeboard.
Yawgmoth, Thran Physician seems out of place here and not optimal... I think I'll pass on him.

I would also consider Mystic Remora and Rhystic Study since they are so good.
Ya it is tough to fit everything you want in a deck, but I like your deck, very nice :)

This is FearDReaper from MTG Salvation. You asked me for my thoughts:
Dack's Duplicate never really preformed all that well for me. Imo clone effects are overrated. Phantasmal Image and Phyrexian Metamorph are also kinda meh in my experience. These guys were so much better before they changed the legend rule.
I haven't played my list in a while but if I reforged it I would definitely be trying Greven, Predator Captain. He seems to fit the deck like a glove and brings some phenominal card draw to the table.
Are you comboing with Murderous Redcap? If not I don't think he's a great include. In its place I would run Ravenous Chupacabra. If you are comboing with redcap, id still try to find a place for Chuppy. He's just sooo good
A few more cards I would add are: Herald of Secret Streams, Captivating Crew, Syr Konrad, the Grim, and Olivia, Mobilized for War (I see you have her in your maybe board but in my experience she is really good)
Lastly, idk how casual/competitive your playgroup is but if you wanna be really mean you can play Jokulhaups. I wouldn't recommend it if your group is more casual though as they will absolutely hate you lol.
Feel free to pick my brain more. Preferably on this site

Hi there,
Love this deck! Have a similar Marchesa build - but some notable card differences. How has Grenzo performed for you here? I often find myself in a controlling/defending position where people don't want to attack because of the recurring value when something dies on my side, and not too often as the agressor. Which of the two do you choose more often? Goading or exiling?

Grenzo, Havoc Raiser is theoretically amazing in here, but I truthfully need to test him more. The correct usage is almost always to exile, as it triggers once for each instance of combat damage, results nicely in card advantage, and also as a way of straight up denying your opponent of pieces. What's the Flash Hulk gonna do when their Pieces get exiled?
