This is actually a pretty neat idea for a list. Judith has a really cool and unique effect, giving spells deathtouch is sick! I think if I were building the deck I would try to capitalize on this by running even MORE sweepers just so that you have a critical mass of them and are almost always able to keep the board locked down. So almost like a wrath-prison deck. If it were me. There are so many of these effects so you could really go deep on them, Blazing Volley from your board seems great, Scouring Sands, Yamabushi's Storm, Rolling Earthquake, Molten Disaster, Pyroclasm, Bonfire of the Damned, Starstorm, Devastating Dreams is a personal favorite but this may not be the right list for that one. I'd go up to like 15 of these even. Maybe also something like Mithril Coat to protect Judith/other creats if you decide to go into symmetrical sweepers. I know it's a core part of this build but I would cut stuff like Dragon Fodder and Witty Roastmaster, the Redcap combo is good by itself and it doesn't need these more fragile pieces that need to sit on the battlefield. I'd swap them for more grindy advantage cards that want to go to the yard like Unlucky Witness, Bloodghast, Nether Traitor, Filth, supplemented with things like Grim Harvest, Skullclamp, Contamination, Chthonian Nightmare, Deadly Dispute. Necrotic Ooze combo seems right at home here too, but that might be a little boring. If you want to be more lethal, just run more tutors/entomb/buried alive to assemble a redcap or ooze kill. Straight up Reanimate spells could be good to use on your opponents fatties who just died to your death rain. Rise of the Dark Realms Grimoire of the Dead and Sheoldred  ^Flip can all mass reanimate your opponents' creatures. Shadowspear to remove indestructible from those pesky Etalis. Meltdown and Brotherhood's End for artifacts. Spiteful Banditry, The Reaver Cleaver, Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, Big Score maybe for additional ramp. Ramp seems like a big deal since it's a 5 mana commander. You have some really sick cards in here already I love the Withering Boon, Delirium, Rakdos Charm, and Blood for the Blood God! is amazing in this. Great ideas, take my suggestions with a grain of salt because really the build I am suggesting is potentially very different from this one. +1

Love the build but End the Festivities is strictly better than Blazing Volley

I'm guessing you've already considered it but The Black Breath? Kinda expensive Blazing Volley, but with the commander out + Nazguls, you're getting a token, +1/+1 counter triggers, and clearing away enemy weenies, which helps both Wraiths with menace & deathtouch (the latter due to less cheap chump blocking)

Have you considered Soul-Scar Mage? This will not only give them Wither, it will practically make most of your instants, sorceries and activated abilities board wipes once All Will Be One enters the battlefield.

May I also recommend cards that don't target including, but not limited to Anger of the Gods, Blazing Volley and Scouring Sands to get around cards that grant some sort of Hexproof, Protection, Shroud and/or Ward?

Plus, with all the looting going on you may want to consider cards with Flashback(including, but not limited to Increasing Vengeance, Past in Flames and Seize the Storm) and Madness(including, but not limited to, Avacyn's Judgment and Fiery Temper).

Other cards to consider are Bearer of the Heavens(if you're feeling really spiteful), Burning Anger and Toralf, God of Fury  ^Flip.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

I'm glad you like the deck primer/description Wan-Shi-Tong. I like your suggestions! Before I saw your comment, I saw your suggested cards and also thought that End the Festivities could replace Blazing Volley. Brash Taunter could for sure be a lot of fun here. I'll continue play-testing to see where Brash Taunter or Repercussion could fit in.

In regards to the deathtouch instants, I was recently doing a brewing session with one of my friends who has also played MtG for 10+ years, and he didn't say anything about the stack interactions with Tor Wauki getting deathtouch after his damage resolves. Even if that is the case, I'm not really bent out of shape about it, since many of the other instants and sorceries are cheap enough that they can be played after Tor Wauki gains deathtouch. In my playgroup, some of my friends have given an opponent's blocked or blocking creature deathtouch to clear a threat, or for political purposes.

Hi! I really like the Deck and the intro. I would recommend End the Festivities over Blazing Volley. Plus i'm not sure if the deathtouch instants work the intended way, because the ability of Tor Wauki the Younger should go on the stack and resolve before he has deathtouch. One of my personal favorite cards Brash Taunter could work for you, although it has anti synergy with wither. Another card that works nicely with damage based boardwipes is Repercussion.

Hey, awesome suggestion Gingervitis! I'm definitely going to give Pestilent Spirit a try in here. Maybe I'll just kick End the Festivities up to a x4 count instead of x2, since that and Blazing Volley seem like they'd be the best cards in the format to pair with him.

If I need direct damage to creatures at Instant speed, I think I'd probably go with Dual Shot over Spikefield Hazard but I'm going to give it a shot as-is before I start making tons of swaps.

Good looking out!

This deck doesn't seem to have an actual way to win. I pitted it against one of my decks and while I sure did lose a lot of creatures after they were turned into frogs, I eventually had more creatures than your deck had ways to kill them and I won.

Enigma Drake seems like a good win-con. Why only have two of them? Blazing Volley could be good for wiping all of your opponent's creatures with Polymorphist's Jest. Or maybe Fire Ants, so you don't have to spend two cards just to kill one creature.
