In order to make the new Commander + Background work, I've temporarily removed Kaervek the Merciless and Spinerock Knoll; although Spinerock Knoll likely won't ever get added back in :D

Hey again, I did a rehaul of the deck considering both your and other advice I got from my play group at college. Firstly, I decided that Kaervek the Merciless would make a much more suitable commander for my burn-heavy playstyle. Second, I decided to re-focus the deck, to almost purely make it burn heavy. Since before, it was adding a few combos that I now feel were unneccesary and strayed away from the burn aspect (Darkest Hour + Spreading Plague
). And third, I think this time I am way more aggressive than I was previously. Thank you again for all the help :)

Firelights. I know what you mean about excessive table talk too. Even though I still say I like "politics" decks. I am more into cards that force deals or decisions... More Machiavellian politics, the discernible difference is that I usually remember that we are all opponents in a free-for-all game & I let the cards force the interactions a little more ala: Curse of Opulence, Shiny Impetus. Otherwise, I've seen far too many "deals" & teamups go south on people, particularly the one accepting a proposition. I usually say, "I am going to send damage where I will, If you have a threat, show it to me now instead of trying to hang it over my head". That being said, I love punisher style politics: Kaervek the Merciless is a true delight to me :)

Amazing deck, I like your style! Just stole Tempting Contract, Gate to the AEther and Boldwyr Heavyweights for my Kaervek the Merciless enabler deck, thanks! Check it out, maybe you stumble across an artifact or red spell for your deck ;-) Kaervek the Instigater

If you want to really make Winota sing, the answer is tokens! She can only pull human cards out of your library, so the nonhuman versions of the same aren't pulling as much weight as they could. If you drop something like
Dragon Fodder
or
Raise the Alarm
, however, that means two creatures who get to dig for a big, powerful human when they attack! Cards like
Spectral Procession
and
Lingering Souls
just up the numbers even more from there. Sure, the tokens probably won't live through combat, but when they're replacing themselves with fatties like
Cabal Patriarch
,
Greven, Predator Captain
and
Kaervek the Merciless
... well, you probably won't mind too much!

Very cool. I like all the free spells and I especially like how you included the old-school Nightscape Familiar .
I'm curious about why Sakashima is in here. What does it do? Just be a blue partner or another copy of Vial Smasher?
You might like to add a few ways to deal with graveyard-based decks, or recur your own spells. Cards like Mizzix's Mastery or Commit / Memory might be good.
With all the free spells, you might run out of cards to play. Something like Day's Undoing would help to play at the end of the turn, letting you refresh your hand with instants to play on opponents' turns.
Cards to remove for these:

I second Kaervek the Merciless but I also think with those cards you mentioned that they would fit well in a Tergrid, God of Fright Flip deck. But I have built a kaervek deck and he just wins games. He is so good. I especially like playing him and punishing the players who pass turn. This always keeps the salt to a minimum

Since you’re already doing mean things you could telegraph it with Kaervek the Merciless ?
