Hi Jackfrost23,Hidden Stockpile and Angelic Purge?Are a good budget cards for a sacrifice deck!

So Angelic Purge was meant to double as a Sac outlet and a way to exile something pesky. It looks like Crush Contraband would be a good substitution. Thanks! I appreciate your feedback and ideas.

Haha sorry I'm leaving so many comments, I've been playing this deck on the PlayEDH server at the High level recently. I have a question about Angelic Purge -- why is it in the deck? Doesn't it always counter itself every time because when you sacrifice the Child of Alara, all non-land permanents get destroyed first, so the Angelic Purge will fail to exile its target? I'm replacing it with Crush Contraband because I recently got destroyed by Rest in Peace, which completely blocks Child of Alara's ability.

Great idea for a deck!

I see you put in tons of ways to blink your Commander, but not many ways to actually leverage the advantage of having tons of goats in play. I would recommend adding in as many mass pump spells as you can to end the game with your Goat army.

A few suggestions: Guardians' Pledge, Inspired Charge, Righteous Charge, Ramosian Rally and Kytheon's Tactics are all relatively cheap and powerful pump spells for your team. There's also Marshaling Cry, Charge and Sanctified Charge if you want to go a bit deeper.

Wayfarer's Bauble is your main picture, but it is not in your deck. This would be a good inclusion.

You have a lot fo enchantment hate. Any particular reason why? You could be running more effective, broader removal instead, like Oblivion Ring, Faith's Fetters, Angelic Purge and Isolation Zone. Some of these can also be blinked or bounced to retarget more important permanents in the future. In terms of creature removal, Journey to Nowhere is an important piece you are missing. There are also many interesting Pacifism-style effects to choose from in terms of removal. It will also work well with your Commander's Chroma ability.

With all of your blink effects, I don't think you need to include any other protection spells. Something like Indestructible Aura just doesn't seem necessary.

So after looking at it real quick, here are lists of lists:

Things I would definitely take out: Show

Voltaic Servant

Voltaic Servant I don't really see much benefit for him to be here.

Empyrean Eagle

Empyrean Eagle If you can get this effect in something other than a creature, suggestions below, it would be better.

Sprite Noble

Sprite Noble Same as above, but this card is weaker than the eagle.

Golem's Heart

Golem's Heart A card that only gains you life is never very good. Suggested replacement also below.

Heraldic Banner

Heraldic Banner There is better ramp for this deck, and better buffs.

Journeyer's Kite

Journeyer's Kite Its too slow. You should definitely be drawing lands with 38 of them.

Cathedral Membrane

Cathedral Membrane Is a 1 drop(ish) but is overall a meh card.

Things I might take out: Show

Ugin, the ineffable

Ugin, the Ineffable He's mana expensive.

Kismet

Kismet nothing wrong with the card, but you do have 3 cards that do this. If you realy like this effect i would consider taking out either Icy Manipulator or Scepter of Dominance .

Hurkyl's Recall

Hurkyl's Recall Rebuild I don't know how much use these are really getting you. They would be great if you had a bunch of little artifacts(cmc<=2). This suggestion can be ignored, see cost reducers.

Still

I still think you could have far fewer lands. idk whats going on with that.

Cards to consider adding. Show

Cost Reducers

The List Show

Etherium Sculptor

Etherium Sculptor This guy is reasonably costed and isn't a 1/1. 0.20

Helm of Awakening

Helm of Awakening Still a drop, all colourless, the h isn't capital for some reason, and doesnt have a creature body that dies to board wipes. Downside that it works on everybody's spells. 4.50

Jhoira's Familiar

Jhoira's Familiar A tad pricier, but is a 2/2 flier taht also makes your commander and saga(?) cost less. 0.30

Semblance Anvil

Semblance Anvil A drop, does cost you a card, but has the potential to make multiple card types of yours cheaper. A really great card. 3.85

Foundry Inspector

Foundry Inspector He's actually a 3/2 for some reason. Costs , has a good body. 0.50

Immortal Sun

The Immortal Sun So this card does everything you want a card in your deck to do. Its just too expensive. 12.00

The Why Show

Cost reducers like this are amazing. The cheap ones let you play out the more expensive ones (the highest cost is still ) for less or nothing as well. The reason you could ignore my suggestion to remove Hurkyl's Recall and Rebuild for this is because these cost reducers would let you snowball back into your full board probably without issue. If done at the right time, you might even net mana. Spells for free are OP~

Draw

Really there isnt too much to add on this point? I'll be sending you Sensei's Divining Top , a Slate of Ancestry would probably benefit you.

Removal

There isn't much removal here. you tend to just make things happen slowly so there is less need to remove, or to make things ineffective by tapping it down it seems. There is good removal in your colors tho, so i would look at the cards like Anguished Unmaking , Angelic Purge . You have some enchant creatures that make them pretty much unusable, but harder removal like Banishing Light or Cast Out would probably be good. I know I told you that you didn't need Meteor Golem but I disagree with me.

Anthems

What? Why? Show

Anthems are cards that buff your whole field named after Glorious Anthem . Why? So this is a much larger list than the number of these you should add/have. I think that you should definitely add Reconnaissance . Then maybe pick another 1-2. My next highest recommendation would be for Spear of Heliod , because cards that do more things are better.

List Show

Leonin Sun Standard

Leonin Sun Standard Its nice that its cheap to deploy, and offers the option to buff for a lot. 0.37

Obelisk of Urd

Obelisk of Urd Is narrower by only buffing faeries, but gives +2/+2, and has convoke so it can be pretty cheap. 2.75

Path of Bravery

Path of Bravery Can anthem pretty easily, but has the added benefit of what is probably pretty strong life-gain. 0.20

Spear of Heliod

Spear of Heliod and anthem with the added benefit of removal. 0.85

Veilstone Amulet

Veilstone Amulet Here mostly because I thought this card looked pretty interesting. Could be useful. 3.50

Reconnaissance

Reconnaissance This card is amazing in stratifies that rely on attacking. Creatures that have already dealt damage are still considered attacking, so this gives you're creatures vigilance. You can also remove your creature from combat if its blocked so that it won't take/deal damage from combat. This means that you can sing into the enemies with impunity.

Others

List Show

Dance of the Manse

Dance of the Manse This card seems to do what you want it to. You say that people don't seem to kill you're things tho, so I can't answer that question. 0.40

Diversionary Tactics

Diversionary Tactics You like tapping creatures right? Now you can do it more. 0.20

Suppression Field

Suppression Field Seems good. Very rude. Much not activating anything. Wow. 1.25

Just some other cards i thought you might like.

Ah, yes. Graveyard strategies always have an enthralling nature to them. Excellent choice in commander, as well.

I do have some recommendations for the deck.

One deck-building scheme I adhere to is fewer lands in place of cantrips. For your deck, you could cut some of the land base for Satyr Wayfinder and Grisly Salvage . They possess more value later in the game whilst filling up your yard for Karador. Ransack the Lab fulfills the same role. Taping the mana base towards early game cantrips also makes it more consistent to conduct your early game.

Altar of Dementia can earn you value even if a creature would die, permitting more options later.

You speak of win conditions in your description, thus I note Mortal Combat . That's a tricky build-around, so good luck there. Mindslicer is in my discard deck and often locks down the match, though people may not enjoy that.

As for removal, Anguished Unmaking , Despark , and Vindicate are universal and efficient, and Swords to Plowshares is quite possibly the best kill spell in the format. Ghastly Demise is also fun. If you wish to sacrifice creatures for gain, Angelic Purge is of use and Necrotic Sliver may be brought back later. Leonin Relic-Warder and Ravenous Chupacabra serve a similar purpose.

For further reanimation, Phyrexian Reclamation , Unburial Rites , and Dread Return are all quite potent at retrieving things later.

With such a high mana curve, more acceleration in ramp could be of aid. Outside of Temple of the False God and Phyrexian Altar which need some set-up before they do anything, there are only seven cards for ramp. I would add Birds of Paradise or Paradise Druid , some mana dork in that essence; Kodama's Reach , Rampant Growth , or Explosive Vegetation ; and perhaps Songs of the Damned as a one-shot influx of resource.

As defense, Nihil Spellbomb or Remorseful Cleric could negate opposing graveyard decks, Ghostly Prison may dissuade attacks, and Jarad's Orders can be substantial utility.

That is all from me, my apparitional liege. Fare thee well, and rejoice in haunting.
