tcooke2 What if I take out Sadistic Hypnotist and put in Cartel Aristocrat for just a strictly cheaper sac outlet.

Then take out Satyr Wayfinder for Felidar Guardian as an additional means to combo and an additional 4 cost creature (a surprise tool that will come in handy later)

I can take out Qasali Pridemage for Birthing Pod as an extra reusable tutor (especially fun with any line that includes Felidar Guardian because it allows you to fetch and sacrifice the Felidar Guardian on the same turn.

But as for Body Snatcher, I'm not sure what I should take out

A friend of mine is working on building this deck at the moment and he's wondering what the purpose of Reveillark is in this deck, and I'm not familiar enough with the archetype to answer that for him. My best guess is that it can get back a number of your combo pieces from your graveyard (things like Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Felidar Guardian, Karmic Guide, stuff like that). Is it just redundancy to protect the combo or is it part of the Pod chain?

Azdranax thanks for your comment and suggestion! I'm aware of that Kiki combo, I'm just not sure if it's worth running Village Bell-Ringer only for that combo.

Felidar Guardian has some more synergy because it can also blink other creatures for value (Angel of Invention, Dockside Extortionist, Karmic Guide to just name a few), meaning it's not only good in combo context, but also without Kiki. The Bell-Ringer would only serve as giving the team Vigilance for one turn or create surprise blockers, and I'm not sure that is worth a spot :)

tcooke2 Felidar Guardian is a tough one. Combos with a lot, but requires that I already have the other pieces out. Just like Leonin Relic-Warder and Fiend Hunter and that makes the combo itself more fragile. I think I'm nearing a saturation point where I don't need more combo pieces. What would you suggest I take out if I were to put it in?

tcooke2 Protean Hulk is already in the list, and listed in the combo tutors. Felidar Guardian Combos with Karmic Guide, Reveillark, Animate Dead, Necromancy, and Dance of the Dead but those cards already have redundant combos in this list, and most cost less than 4. I'd consider it, but I'm not sure it's worth the slot.

So, over all your deck feels slow and vulnerable. If Altar of Dementia gets exiled what then? turn dude's sideways? Plus your extra vulnerable to GY hate, not only shutting down your commander but, your game plan as well. With all those tags you have under your deck your missing the one tag that is your deck Mill. And your aim it mill 10 to 15 cards at a time spending your turn to recast your creature. I do like milling my opponent but, in commander to pull it off you should look for ways to hit each opponent not just one at time and to make a looping combo out of it. For the most part I feel I see what your trying for but, at the end of the day with 3 opponent your going to be fighting an up hill battle ever time you play, sorry.

Kathril, Aspect Warper has one big glaring issue when I try brewing with him as a commander. Within junk//Abzan colors even, theirs a commanders who do it better. Take your deck for instance, Ghave, Guru of Spores does it better. Comes into play with counters, doesn't need the GY to be "good" and can interact with your deck more ways then, one. Karador, Ghost Chieftain makes a better reanimator and Nethroi, Apex of Death makes a better pump deck. The one shell I seem to find for it is blink/flicker/whatever you want to call it shell where you work at abusing EBT effects till you get some combo of Restoration Angel and Felidar Guardian and just keep looping them with each other. In your case you'd use Karmic Guide sac to the Altar of Dementia but, as it came into play use it's ability to return Reveillark who targets Karmic Guide but, on the stack you use the Altar to sac Reveillark who gets targeted by well you get it. How ever this shell doesn't need Green or Black to be good so, it just feels forced you know what I mean. At the end of the day I think Kathril, Aspect Warper is doomed to being a 99 card and not a commander.

That's more my 2 cents on Kathril, Aspect Warper more then the deck it self

areas to cut;

Standard Safety Equipment, all of it. You don't need your creature alive do you? and if your on the back up plan of turn dudes side ways well Kathril, Aspect Warper can be Hexproof and what have you plus share those with others.

Kunoros, Hound of Athreos: non-bo. I cast Reanimate on... oops no you dont.

Drana, Liberator of Malakir: needs to attack to get counters and your looking for more passive counters and Vampire Nighthawk is better stat stick.

Idyllic Tutor: your in black you can do better.

Signets: Your in green, the Rampant Growth of the world thin your deck and ramp and avoid hate like artifact and non-basic . Note doesn't save your card count.

Cabal Therapy and Cabal Therapist: Don't let your opponents know whats your hand, just no. Knowing it 1/2 the battle GO JOE

Any way good luck and have fun

Sorry my bad, Greenwarden of Murasa is hand not battlefield, so you’ll never have an empty stack (always a Felidar Guardian etb on the stack), so no opportunity to play a Lotus Petal until after you end the loop. No infinite mana.
