Dominaria and Death —May 9, 2018
One new card from Dominaria, but many other changes: Phyrexian Scriptures. A four mana boardwipe that protects a creature and then exiles opponents' graves. That's great value.
I have done a massive revision of the deck. I found the life drain theme took away from my main game plan: killing stuff and swinging in with Yahenni.
I've thrown in more boardwipes and creatures that reanimate themselves (like Nether Traitor. I find these give me more value than one-shot token generators like Sengir Autocrat and Abhorrent Overlord as the tokens would just die to boardwipes without any way to self-reanimate them.
The new additions:
Boardwipes
Phyrexian Scriptures, Crux of Fate, Vona's Hunger, and Pestilence
Self-Reanimators
Nether Traitor, Relentless Dead, and Scrapheap Scrounger
Ramp
Burnished Hart and Worn Powerstone
Pump/Evasion
Strata Scythe, Shizo, Death's Storehouse, and Loxodon Warhammer

Try Victimize since you have so many tokens and small creatures. Trading a token for 2 valuable cards is really solid. And Rune-Scarred Demon is a personal favorite of mine. a 6/6 flying tutor that you reanimate a couple times in a game is the epitome of value.
