StopShot - Vengeful Dreams looks awesome. White has been getting a lot of card draw options lately... I need to try this out.

DrukenReaps - Shifting Shadow is a fun card. I hate to sound like a broken record... but this this is arguably better than Sneak Attack in Marchesa.

FormOverFunction - Roiling Vortex seems amazing in a meta with commanders like Narset and Etali.

GoldenAgeBatman - Yeah, in the right deck Archfiend of Ifnir will pull in some work.

griffstick Thank you for a reminder this card exists. I used to have a foil... but I need to toss this in my Alela deck now.

Gleeock/Suns_Champion - I like a lot on both those lists. I've eyeballed Prosperous Partnership but haven't found a spot for it. Generator Servant was the only creature I ran in my Narset deck.

Tyrant-Thanatos - I always liked Deglamer. I didn't even know their was a functional reprint.

Anyways, keep em coming. Remember, a little context on who you run it in and why go a long way though.

Undead Alchemist in Varina, Lich Queen has been phenomenal, especially against other creature heavy decks. Archfiend of Ifnir and Zombie Infestation are also a wonderful combo to destroy an opponent's board while building up your own.

Have you considered Archfiend of Ifnir in the deck? It can be very effective at handling go wide decks.

Also it works with my other mechanic. Archfiend of Ifnir and Withering Hex. But I do agree I don't have quite enough so i'll cut it.

pea_body All of your suggested changes sound great! Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of the changes to make :)

As far as the higher mana cards go, I think aiming to run 3x Skinrender and 3x Kulrath Knight (with no Archfiend of Ifnir) is probably a good mix. With your beforementioned killspells added, and around 24 lands, I think you'll be able to easily sustain 6 4-mana cards relatively well.

Black Sun's Zenith is a fine replacement for any of your cards, particularly a good replacement for Archfiend of Ifnir. It becomes an auto-win condition alongside Nest of Scarabs (just through the sheer number of scarabs you can generate from it).

wallisface Thanks for the advice, I have been playing this deck with only Archfiend of Ifnir and often struggle to keep it in play long enough to trigger its ability and should have foreseen the problems of running twelve 4+ mana cost cards.

Obviously, I should change out the 4x Splendid Agony, but would replacing Archfiend of Ifnir with Black Sun's Zenith be an okay change?

In my actual deck at the moment I have Dismember and Tragic Slip to easily kill creatures. I assume that it would be okay if I replace Wasteland Scorpion and Nezumi Bone-Reader with those if I replace Archfiend of Ifnir.

Again thanks for the ideas! I'm just playing against friends so I can't make it too good if you know what I mean. :)
