Most resent cuts that have been made based strictly off of memory.

-1 Mana Vault for +1 Culling the Weak

Why: both are fast mana, Culling of the Weak is faster and less lethal to me over time

-1 Glasses of Urza for +1 Entomb

why: Glasses are cute, i need access to combos or other anything else, hand knowledge is not often needed.

-1 Urza's Saga for +1 Lake of the Dead

Why: Because nice things are nice (fast mana is essential in this build)

Ad Nauseam Culling the Weak Mana Vault or some form of mana positive card A black+ land that deals no damage And some form of free interaction

Cast rog Play the land Play the mana-positive card Tap the land to cast Culling the Weak sacrificing rog Cast the Ad Nauseam Most likely win using either Thassa's Oracle or Brain Freeze+Underworld Breach

He is used in multiple ways to get out a fastAd Nauseam, some examples are Paradise Mantle, Culling the Weak and Springleaf Drum in all of these it helps to get fast black pips in hopes for a t1-t3 Ad Nauseam

This is an interesting idea. Wild Cantor type lists are always kinda cool, the question is what makes them tick. This one really wants to infernal plunge to 8 mana.

Going into Red / Black for Pentad Prism, Culling the Weak and Burnt Offering would be my take. Another option would be green for Orcish Lumberjack & Tinder Wall. There are a bunch of cards that let you cheat mana for one turn, but those sets are the closest to the rest of this build.

I think I'd just go 3/3 on crusher/devastator to increase reliability. I'd also give a little thought to It of the Horrid Swarm (though emerge is a neat mechanic that I'd want to check the cathodion ruling on).

You need more ramp since you have a lot of expensive cards. For ramp you need: Arcane Signet , Charcoal Diamond , Jet Medallion , Nyx Lotus , Dark Ritual , Culling the Weak , Wayfarer's Bauble , Bubbling Muck . Take out Ugin, the Ineffable . I don't know why you have it, there are hardly enough colorless cards to make it effective. Also take out Josu Vess, Lich Knight , Abhorrent Overlord , and a couple more expensive cards that cost 6+ cmc. You also need to change your boardwipes. They are far too expensive to be effective. Trade Necromantic Selection for Shadows' Verdict , Deadly Tempest for Mutilate , Oblivion Stone for Soul Shatter . I would suggest Decree of Pain for Damnation or Toxic Deluge considering the deck price. Other cards to consider adding: Swiftfoot Boots , Defile , Phyrexian Arena , Sign in Blood , Read the Bones , Night's Whisper . Since you are already running good sac outlets, Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire consider adding an Infinite Mana Combo. Make these changes and the deck will be much faster and more competitive.

Epicurus on Syr Haakon's Big Sister

I have a decent amount of self mill, and sometimes lose more equipment than I lose Knights.

The ultimate aim of all that is to get Haakon into the graveyard as early as possible. Once he's there, it doesn't matter how many Knights are in the yard, because they're basically in my hand. However, the equipment has no such help.

I could probably cut Infernal Plunge for Dark Ritual or other ramp, but I wouldn't cut it for anything else. It made sense at the time I made the deck (because I can easily recur the creature I lose to it, much like Culling the Weak ), but there certainly are many more black pips in the deck than red. So that will happen for sure. Haven't ever really thought about it, to be honest. Good call.
