This deck has evolved with me since I started playing Magic, I try to keep it varied and interesting, while attempting to keep synergy throughout the cards. Archangel of Thune and Pontiff of Blight work well together, but they don't have to be, I could have Pontiff out and then Death's Approach with a wall of extort behind it, Thune pretty much destroys my opponent, even if I have just one extort on the field, even worse when Acorn Catapult has been working to create squirrel tokens. Speaking of those, Vizkopa Guildmage and Alive / Well turns that token generation into pain for 4 mana, and lots of it. Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts is a little high costing for my tastes, but she does present a problem, she's essentially unblockable, and creates tokens and removes nuisances should my opponent attack, which they probably won't try to until she's dead. Blood Baron of Vizkopa is meant to be a finisher, but a 4/4 pro w/b, with lifelink can be an issue. Deathcult Rogue is just for the pseudo unblockable effect and the 2 power, prime target for the Guildmage to give lifelink early game, not to mention the Catapult goes well with the High Priest of Penance, just as soon as I get him toughened up, he's pretty much a Vindicate on a stick, plus I get squirrels off it. So on and so forth.

I've been wondering if I should streamline it more, and if anyone has any ideas of which direction to go, suggestions are appreciated.
