Ghastly Conscription

Sorcery

Exile all creature cards from target player's graveyard in a face-down pile, shuffle that pile, then manifest those cards. (To manifest a card, put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature. Turn it face up at any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)

So it looks like you are asking both for the new card and the replacement. I will try but final choices us of course yours. I will also say I have never run this commander so I may be wrong.

I think you need more lands. 33 with some not tapping for mana sometime. Or at all. This is cheating a touch too much. Goal is 5 lands more here is what I suggest.

Volo, Guide to Monsters unless he is your commander he feels like a win more card. And yes I know morphs are morphs as their creature type.

Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar interesting but might be not worth the effort.

Your high cmc stuff. Its... not nothing but isn't really good. Specifically Thieving Amalgam Ghastly Conscription personally I'd cut both but you have 2 of the normal big mana wincons Exsanguinate and torment. Between the 4. I'd suggest running only 2 think of all the card draw you have with your commander/other creatures. Do you reallyneed this many big mana i win buttons?

I'd also cut 1 of the morph into counterspell effects. I know it seems cool to have it as an option. But 4 mana counterspell that leaves a 1/1 or 2/2 is just bad. I'd suggest Kadena's Silencer

As for what lands. Look up the pain land cycle like Yavimaya Coast those combo* with your Forsaken Monument maybe redo you lands period. Idk how you gonna cast all these colored spells with greedy manabase you got.

I hope this helps. Don't mean to hate too much on your mana but my biggest concern in a game is having fun. You dont have fun when you can't cast your spells.

if this deck is for casual then i'd say its pretty alright for a fun break from the norm. Only 10 cards short of a commander deck too if you want to go that route. But if you're looking for more competitiveness, I'd say to do the following:

The first thing we need to do before anything, is to figure out the strategy we're going for. Obviously a token based liliana deck is way out of reasonable budgets. The blue you added does give me an idea for a control based zombie deck.

So the first thing to do is remove the cards above 60 that we wouldn't need, along with cards that will don't either assist or protect our strategies. I would start by removing the following: 2 - Advanced Stitchwing. 2 - Certain Death. 1 - Collective Brutality. 1 - Corrupt. 1 - Corrupted Roots. 2 - Disentomb. 1 - Doom Blade. 1 - Essence Harvest. 1 - Gnawing Zombie. 1 - Grixis Slavedriver. 1 - Grixis Grimblade. 1 - Hunted Ghoul. 1 - Haunted Dead. 3 - Ingenious Skaab. 4 - Laboratory Brute. 1 - Lamplighter of Selhoff. 1 - Maalfeld Twins. 2 - Macabre Waltz. 2 - Midnight Recovery. 1 - Mistvein Borderpost. 1 - Moan of the Unhallowed. 2 - Paranoid Delusions. 1 - Polluted Dead. 2 - Psychic Strike. 1 - Recover. 1 - Rise from the Grave. 1 - Scrapskin Drake. 1 - Shambling Attendants. 1 - Sibsig Host. 1 - Sibsig Muckdraggers. 1 - Sidisi's Pet. 1 - Sip of Hemlock. 1 - Skinrender. 1 - Spineless Thug. 1 - Stitched Mangler. 2 - Thraben Foulbloods. 1 - Strange Augmentation. 1 - Undead Executioner. 1 - Zombie Outlander. 15 - Swamp. 10 - Island.

It IS Quite a lot, but it's because we need to make room for the cards that'll make the bulk of our strategy, not to mention there are cheaper, better alternatives to most of these cards (lands were removed because the mana base will be changed later). With these cards taken out, that leaves us with the following: 3 - Cemetery Recruitment. 1 - Ghastly Conscription. 1 - Sign in Blood. 1 - Graf Harvest. 1 - Rooftop Storm. 2 - Gavony Unhallowed. 1 - Jhessian Zombies. 1 - Vedalken Ghoul.

these are pretty linearly focused for an effective strategy. to fluff out the rest of the cards for the deck, I'd recommend:

+1 - Cemetery Recruitment. +3 - Sign in Blood. +4 - Mana Leak. +3 - Duress. +3 - Vedalken Ghoul. +3 - Jhessian Zombies. +1 - Rooftop Storm. +4 - Go for the Throat. +4 - Rotting Rats. +3 - Claim / Fame.

Wow this is great considering the budget. There are so many decent cards here I've never seen before. I'm thinking these are some good alternates that wouldn't push the budget too bad if one wanted to invest a little more in the deck: Pitiless Plunderer , Fell Shepherd , Warstorm Surge , Zulaport Cutthroat , Gleancrawler , Moldervine Reclamation , Ogre Battledriver , Second Harvest , Caustic Caterpillar , Elemental Bond , Wild-Field Scarecrow , Qarsi High Priest , Ghastly Conscription , Death's Presence , Thermopod

Abzkaban this is my casual list so I intentionally cut out streamline win conditions. The closest combo I have is the pickles softlock with Brine Elemental and Vesuvan Shapeshifter , but otherwise Ghastly Conscription and Thieving Amalgam are enough to overwhelm the board.

I’m trying to brew Kadena myself because of how much freaking fun she is to play. I love all the flash and top deck manipulation, but I’m wondering what the win con is. Is it just swing with a bunch of 2/2s after a Ghastly Conscription ? Have you considered Aetherflux Reservoir or Tendrils of Agony as possible storm wins?
