Before anyone points out the stupidly obvious card pick Bitterblossom i can't rely whole heartedly on this card coming up each time i need it
I am looking to make a blood funnel combo deck with 8 tutor cards that can realistically be cast for 2 mana (in case of Beseech the Queen 0 mana is potential) where the win con is the classic blood combo from ist/m14 bond and blood
I am unsure what "food" i need most easily to use to repeatedly cast cheap cards and just realised how Bloodghast and Grave Crawler coul fit nicely.. Thanks for all the help
oh nm you want bond and blood. Why all the work for the Blood Funnel then?

squire1 blood funnel makes the combo and the control aspects cheaper

Butcher Ghoul and Young Wolf are less effective than the ones you listed but could still be useful. Is it aggressive enough that you could use the raid on Bloodsoaked Champion ?

Also do know what tutors you're using? Because Diabolic Tutor is only two with Blood Funnel out. And Idyllic Tutor can grab an enchantment for you for one with Blood Funnel . Enlightened Tutor does something similiar, and how many colors is it? because those enchantment tutors could really help but require it to go duel color

Diabolic, and beseech, avoiding splashing mono black combo will upload my initial list in a bit

Only 12 of your cards fully benefit from the 2-cost reduction from Blood Funnel .
The problem with the deck is that you're devoting slots to make blood funnel work, but you have to balance it at the same time with cards that can take advantage of it. That leads to instability.
Gravecrawler can't come back unless you have another one of them on the field, which is really unreliable. Reassembling Skeleton is a thing too that you can try.

Krayhaft i'd forgotten about the Gravecrawler clause thx for pointing it out, the skeleton isn't right, it's a 2 drop and i need my 2 drops to reanimate for nothing so i'm on a quest for a new card for the deck if not for helping enable the funnel

Though Akroan Horse could work, maybe 3 mana for a sac outlet each turn without the life sac

So, i am a little confused. You have some good synergies working, but you say you want a combo deck. What is the core combo you are trying to achieve
