Heartless Eons
1 week ago
I brewed heartless summoning once like a decade ago, my list used Myr Retriever to infinitely loop for free, draw the deck with Grim Haruspex or Fecundity and then kill with Simian Spirit Guide -> Grapeshot. Totally different from what you're going for by the looks of it! One list you might check out is mtggoldfish Seth's "Heartless Mom" brew, he uses Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines for double trigs off of stuff like Mulldrifter and Avalanche Riders with everything getting discounted from the summoning. It was a sweet deck but I think just not consistent enough to gain traction because the deck revolves around heartless and has no good way to find it. In my old deck I used stuff like Infernal Tutor and Spoils of the Vault to get the pieces, then Perilous Myr and Necropede were my chumps of choice bc they turned into free removal. Anyways gl with the build! Curious to see how it develops bc heartless summoning is an awesome card and seems like still nobody has reaaally been able to break it yet?

I think that the next best options to draw a bunch of cards at once might be Cut of the Profits and Necrologia. If you are having to frequently recover from board wipes then having Grim Haruspex on the board at least lets you draw a card for each other non-token creature that gets wrathed away.
Icon of Ancestry is an anthem and can help dig for more rats. Some less desirable options might be Slate of Ancestry (expensive and doesn't help you recover after a board wipe) or Endless Atlas (probably just not strong enough for the level you are building for).
Instead of more draw spells, another option would be to try to up your tutor count (Beseech the Queen maybe?) and just aim to tutor for Necropotence as often as you can.

Oops! All female! Marchesa

You are also correct, having too many 4 drops can be pretty awkward here so I'll help suggest a few cuts and lower cmc replacements.
Solemn Simulacrum - could be pretty much anything else. Satoru, the Infiltrator is one of the best draw engines Marchesa has ever seen.
Cormela, Glamour Thief - seems out of place. Gev, Scaled Scorch is another alternative source of +1+1 counters that I've had good results with so far.
Pitiless Plunderer - is probably the card I'm most tentative to suggest cutting. I was personally happier with Mahadi, Emporium Master coming down a turn earlier but have ultimately cut both personally.
Disciple of Bolas - Liliana's Standard Bearer is 1 mana cheaper, has flash, and will draw as many cards typically.
Domineering Will - is a cool card but not really the timing you're looking for since you get no window to attack, get a +1+1 counter on it, and make that theft permanent. Grim Haruspex is a possible replacement.
Reins of Power - You trade Marchesa as part of this swap so you can't make this theft permanent. Vigean Graftmage comes down before Marchesa, can immediately protect her with a +1+1 counter, and enables 2 sacrifices (itself +1 other) each turn for etb/death trigger abuse.

Grim Haruspex was good in the situations where you had the summoning out but still needed to dig for myr+kill, but since sibsig makes bodies and you have this crawler plan maybe you're not in such a rush to combo off as I was. Haruspex is a bit fragile too. Also it was better with summoning because you could cast for 1 and it would survive, that part was cool. IT WOULD be sick with the gravecrawlers though. :)

Thanks capwner. I’m pretty set with this for now, I’ve played a number of games with it and it does alright for how overly theme-y it is. I love Grim Haruspex though, and I’m adding that to the maybeboard right away—it’s incredibly on-theme and might be a decent addition in certain situations.

I used to play a Heartless Summoning myr combo deck, and this looks like an actually sweet playable version of that crummy old deck! :D IDK if applicable here but some of the tech I used to play was: Grim Haruspex to draw thru the deck as u went, Spoils of the Vault to YOLO for a combo piece, Infernal Tutor for doubling up on Retrievers, and I actually really liked Necropede and Perilous Myr as defensive cards which could board stall until you hit the Summoning as well as provide removal value post-Summoning. Finally a new card I think would be nice for you is Voice of Victory, just protect your one big spell (curves nice 2->3) + there's a tiny bit of synergy with the mobilize tokens. Great deck Balaam, +'d this earlier but hadn't made it around to commenting!

Some options to consider. Most are really budget friendly.

I continued to dig for cards both old and news, that are not listed here but could fit:
-
Gift of Immortality : This card has lot of potential, i think this card has been glanced over because if you're not careful you don't realize it's every end step and not only yours. Even if used on a one mana afterlife 1 fodder, in a turn rotation of a 4 players game it would already have payed for itself (4 recursion of 1 mana creatures for 3 mana). In this deck it's like a better version of Ophiomancer. Others awesome targets would be Market Gnome, Ranger-Captain of Eos, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, Hallowed Spiritkeeper, Kokusho, the Evening Star (for those that play it like me). Or can be used as a protection for sacrifice engine, a draw engine, a blood artist effect or Teysa. With flash or an ability to chose of make it comeback to your hand instead of attached to the creature i think it would be a no brainer.
-
Crowded Crypt : both a ramp and a payoff cards, with Teysa and a one mana afterlife 1 fodder it's already 6 corpse counter on the Crowded Crypt, a few other sacrifice and it's a winning condition. I know it's a 3 mana ramps but it's very fitting in this deck and a ramp.
-
Bartolome del Presidio: another free sacrifice engine for 2 manas, but personnally i would prefer using Warren Soultrader and Viscera Seer.
-
Reliquary Monk: An interesting removal, i almost find it better than Cathar Commando since with Teysa it's a double removal. Of course the downside are the 3 mana cost that can't be splitted over time like Cathar and flash missing.
-
Funeral Room / Awakening Hall: another blood artist effect, with a recursion ability later, but you already haven't included The Meathook Massacre. Personnally i'm almost at a point where i'm ready to remove Blood Artist since it's the last effect that target a single player instead of dealing damage to each opponents, it's only upside is that it also work with opponent creatures dying.
-
Kambal, Profiteering Mayor: It's a mix of Corpse Knight and token making. I'm not a fan of "this ability triggers only once each turn" and "one or more token" instead of "a token". Although a lot of people include it in their lists, i have mixed feeling about this card.
-
High-Society Hunter : a better Grim Haruspex since it also work for other players but still 5 manas, i would not include it.
