Playtest shows that I need more ways to drop my life, but without actually killing myself.

Omg, I hate my phone. I had a nice long message all ready then my internet crashed and I lost it all. Short and skinny was... more creatures, more life manipulation, and less spot removal. Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa To Love Them for some ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks is appreciated.

Great deck, however, I am budget-limited, and all expensive cards in the deck I just happen (or am lucky, in case of Nicol Bolas) to have. Hence, I cannot afford Spellskites and Wurmcoils, no matter how tempting it is. That, and even if I can exclude all "destroy" spot removal, I cannot get rid of "exile" - our meta is polluted by indestructibles.

It's kind of hard to offer suggestions given your budget restrictions and not knowing what cards you have access to, but if I was to recommend one card for you it would be Flayer of the Hatebound . With a free sacrifice outlet on the board you can sac it once to have it return thanks to Undying and deal 5 damage to a creature or player, then sac it during the second main phase to have it come back thanks to Marchesa at the beginning of the next end step. When Marchesa brings it back it will deal 4 damage + damage equal to the power of all the other creatures that Marchesa might be bringing back that turn. You can do that double punch with the Flayer on each opponent's turn as well, preferably at the end of their second main phase to limit an opponent's chances of being able to exile the Flayer from your graveyard.

If you get enough creatures returning from the graveyard it can sometimes just wipe out all of your opponents' creatures or straight up kill a player. You can also send some of that damage at your own face to help keep your life total below everyone else's. As long as you keep a free sac outlet on the board the Flayer can be really hard for opponents to get rid of.

And best of all, the card is dirt cheap to buy. The amount of power it gives the deck for such a small investment is pretty nuts. It might mean including a couple more free sac outlets for the sake of consistency though. I like Goblin Bombardment , but that's almost $5.

Thanks for the insight, I will definetely consider adding Flayer of the Hatebound . However, he is single card, and I fear that will not be consistent enough. Sac outlet-wise I have Viscera Seer , Grimgrin, Corpse-Born , Yahenni, Undying Partisan , God-Eternal Bontu , Phyrexian Tower and even Bolas's Citadel , I feel like that is plenty. Also, I dont want to make aristocrat-style deck, that is why I did not put Judith, the Scourge Diva and fling sac outlets.

Budget-wise, I find it acceptable to go up to $10 for single card upgrade, and from all cards in deck I miss only Wurmcoil Engine and Sneak Attack , which I plan to acquire in near future.

If you believe some cards do not belong, feel free to tell me.
