I'm trying to find out what I can improve on my own similar deck. I decided to try Athreos, God of Passage in my version of the deck instead, in addition to lots of life gain.

Any idea of how I could improve it? Oh and by the way +1 on this deck.

+1 for another MBC deck! great card advantage here, why no Alhammarret's Archive? also in my Sheoldred deck (granted, it's a different deck) Rise of the Dark Realms and Living Death do work. Also a fan of Praetor's Grasp and Jester's Cap against combo players or if i know someone rocks Iona.

somedumbjerk I actually never heard of that card, Praetor's Grasp. I definitely will have to get one of those!

Thanks.

somedumbjerk, thanks for the great suggestions. My play group plays a lot of combo deck. Jester's Cap and Praetor's Grasp look like fun ways to hose them haha.

I've thought about Living Death. My fear with that card is that I could end up benefiting my opponents more than myself, especially with all the creatures I'm sending to their graveyards.

Rise of the Dark Realms and Alhammarret's Archive are definitely worthy of consideration.

What do you think can come out of my deck to make room?

Delta-117, I'll take a look at your deck :)

@megamatt13 it really depends on what you consider a flex spot. for me, my playgroup and playstyle, i'd cut Diabolic Tutor and Syphon Mind for Jester's Cap and Alhammarret's Archive. if you want to include living death, all you really honestly need is a bojuka bog or something. but if you start adding utility lands, you'll need Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and a way to hunt it. honestly, living death is cute but you wipe the board too much after a few gold fishes with your deck. skip it. for Praetor's Grasp i'd cut either one of the wipes or Victim of Night or Wake the Dead. everyone is different though.

Reaper from the Abyss works well with Overseer of the Damned.
