Hi there! I would appreciate any advice for this deck, as it feels promising but not quite complete. It is centered around the undying mechanism, and aims to remove +1/+1 counters to generate resilient creatures which drain the opponent each time they are sacrificed. The key to the deck is Retribution of the Ancients, as it lets you loop sacrifices and kill the opponent pretty quickly with Geralfs Messenger, or Blood Artist/Blasting Station + an undying creature. Cauldron Haze and Hex Parasite offer less efficient ways to remove counters, but offer some redundancy to the combo. Eldritch evolution helps assemble the combo by finding Viscera Seer or Geralfs Messenger, or can be used to find Mycoloth as an alternative finisher.

I am unsure about about a few cards that seem promising, but have downsides. Fecundity offers great card draw when it works, but can also help the opponent find solutions to the combo. Phyrexian Scriptures is slower than regular sweepers, but can be looped with Hex Parasite to destroy all non-artifact creatures each turn. Experiment one is effectively the 5th and 6th copy of Young Wolf. Mycoloth and the Demonlord of Ashmouth seem like good targets for Eldritch Evolution, but they might be too clunky as they both put more strain on the undying targets.

This deck is largely based on the Really, really undying deck by reddevil which looks awesome, but changes a few pieces. All in all it has worked fairly well in casual modern, but it can definitely be improved. Thank you for your feedback!
