Disciple_of_Doran this is super awesome feedback! Thanks!

6ixer it's shifted a lot from playtesting it a bit and a lot from the feedback I've gotten both from local MTG friends and the comments above.

Disciple_of_Doran thanks for clarifying that! I totally misinterpreted that integral card. I made some changes using your suggestions, and I think it's working out pretty well now. Thanks again!

Disciple_of_Doran, however, since Painter's Servant just paints everything that isn't out on the battlefield already black, if I was able to get some equipment out before then, I would still be able to equip it, no? I'm trying to find a way to also give Painter's Servant protection from black.

Disciple_of_Doran, damn, that is a huge bummer :/ thanks for letting me know!

Maddogenes, you’re right! Damn, I totally read that wrong. I decided to replace it Thraben Inspector. Thanks for pointing that out!

You could use Thraben Doomsayer to beef up Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant.

I wish Elspeth's soldier tokens were also human, because then Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant would get super beefy. I haven't added either of them to my deck yet, but they're very tempting.

6ixer This is awesome, Bud! I love all of these suggestions. I'm definitely going to dig through this and alter some stuff!

This is super tight! I love seeing a full deck take on Use Protection!

6ixer, 18 lands wasn't really working out to get the starting hands I needed, but given that I have things like Steelshaper's Gift, Stoneforge Acolyte, and even Stonehewer Giant to help me search for equipment and put it into my hand, I decided to get rid of one Sword of Fire and Ice and adding back a land.

6ixer totally! I'm going to take a Stonehewer Giant out and a land to put a couple of Path to Exile in there. I'm going to playtest it to see if I can get away with 18 lands. We'll see!

6ixer I really like Path to Exile and it's helped me out in some pickles when I play my Tiger Army Never Dies deck, but in order for me to put it into this deck I would have to start taking out some creatures, since I definitely want to keep my 5 swords, and 2 of Sigarda's Aid, Steelshaper's Gift, Rebuff the Wicked, and now definitely Aether Vial. Unless you think Path to Exile is worth taking one of these out...

6ixer those are two amazing suggestions! Thank you so much!

Hi kamarupa! Your feedback is super useful! Thank you so much for putting so much time and energy into it. I'm going to mull this all over and really try to revamp this deck. The main thing I want to happen is to be able to essentially create a bunch of tokens pretty quick and then mostly sacrifice them to pull out the bigger creatures that either require sacrificing to be pulled out, or that cost less to pull out by sacrificing. I liked the idea of also being able to use a bunch of tokens and maybe one big creature to allow me to pull out a Ghalta, Primal Hunger for no cost, but it's true that I'm throwing in another mechanic in there when I should really be focusing on being able to do the first part of the strategy, which is to pull out a bunch of tokens, gain a bunch of life while doing it, and then pulling out the heavy hitters like Demon of Catastrophes and Demon of Death's Gate and Torgaar, Famine Incarnate. Thanks again!
