** 5/20 UPDATE ** —May 20, 2020

Man, this update was filled with several difficult choices. Here's what I did:

Smothering Abomination -> Luminous Broodmoth

Underworld Dreams -> Lurrus of the Dream-Den

Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim -> Bastion of Remembrance

Trading Post -> Verge Rangers

Thoughts:

Verge Rangers is a powerhouse in white, and while I don't like taking out Trading Post, something had to give, and it was either that or Wishclaw Talisman (I almost took out Wishclaw but I didn't want to lose a political power piece/tutor). Underworld Dreams is really fun, but doesn't fit the theme and is more just a hate card than anything. Sad to see it go, but I needed a slot because Lurrus is TOO good. Smothering Abomination is a nice death trigger, but I don't like having to sac something. Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim is nice here, and at 2 cmc w/ deathtouch she's fantastic, but it was time to take her out I think.

KibaAlpha true, but then I can't use coin counters with Athreos, Shroud-Veiled, and that is part of the value engine. Luminous Broodmoth will make it into the list as soon as I get my copy in the mail, though, along with Bastion of Remembrance. I also ordered a copy of Verge Rangers and Titan Hunter too, and am also considering a copy of Lurrus of the Dream-Den (it's really good but I'm not sure if I want that many reanimation abilities that might take the place of something else that is also needed. As it stands now I have a very good amount of graveyard playability, so we'll see once I get the cards in hand and tinker a bit.

I hope you aren't running Athreos, Shroud-Veiled to combo with Teysa Karlov, because that doesn't do anything.

KingMetalink I run him for another reanimator affect, not to combo. There are enough of those in this deck as it is.

That's fair, I was just making sure.

KingMetalink oh yeah, I know it’s very particular, lol. I just think he’s really good for unplanned deaths/sacrifices, really.
