Lightning Coils

Artifact

Whenever a nontoken creature you control is put into a graveyard from play, put a charge counter on Lightning Coils.

At the beginning of your upkeep, if Lightning Coils has five or more charge counters on it, remove all of them from it and put that many 3/1 red Elemental creature tokens with haste into play. Remove them from the game at end of turn.

Looks good. Personally I would make these swaps:

Witch's Mark -> Bounty Agent
Savai Crystal -> Custodi Soulcaller
Bitter Reunion -> Gravelighter
Cathartic Reunion -> Priest of Forgotten Gods
Seize the Spoils -> Vulturous Aven
Thrill of Possibility -> Voldaren Bloodcaster  Flip
Faithless Looting -> Cathar Commando
Commander's Sphere -> Goldhound
Mardu Banner -> Pitiless Plunderer
Key to the City -> Lightning Coils

Sure thing Benjimain! I think you picked a great partner pair. They offer the late-game resilence that Orzhov (WB) decks are known for while also enabling big combat damage which is rare in WB.

Here are some other swaps I would make:

Quag Sickness -> Plaguecrafter
Underworld Dreams -> Bitterblossom
Forever Young -> Black Market
Pick the Brain -> Grand Crescendo
Artificer's Hex -> Lightning Coils
Duress -> Rootborn Defenses
Pit Keeper -> Captain's Claws
Triad of Fates -> Haunted Library
Deathpact Angel -> Mardu Strike Leader
Mark of the Vampire -> Blight Mound
Confront the Assault -> Veteran Soldier
Primevals' Glorious Rebirth -> Spirit Bonds
Soul Salvage -> Militia's Pride
Alchemist's Gift -> Oketra's Monument
Lash of Thorns -> Wand of Orcus
Village Rites -> Grim Haruspex

Thank you for the suggestion AaronEchoes, I haven't seen Lightning Coils before. My only apprehension is that I have a kinda low non-creature count for the deck. I'll def keep an eye on this though

i recommend Lightning Coils gives you some sac fodder for your spells :O

Lightning Coils, Blood Bairn, and Requiem Angel feel like they could be cut for Damn, Bolas's Citadel, and Rite of Oblivion.

I glanced in expecting a Lightning Coils deck, but this is neat too.

Lightning Skelemental points to black as an option for this kind of list - it can really get running with a little reanimator.

Elemental tribal opens up some neat options, but nothing that leans hard into tetsuo unblockable otk style.

Fury of the Horde lets you have that one big turn a little bigger, acting as alternative combat celebrants.

The rest depends on where you want to take the list. Hope you figure out the kinks.

War Room: Not bad! ChannelFireball's article covers most of it; fine in e.g. mono- or even mono- to make things a bit more reliable

Thalisse, Reverent Medium: it's not quite Anointed Procession in the command zone, but I like it. Strionic Resonator triples the number of created Spirits. Temporary tokens from Tombstone Stairwell and Lightning Coils still count. Finally, it doesn't specify creature tokens, so with Pitiless Plunderer and a sac outlet, in response to each turn's trigger, you can sac the Spirits of the previous turn to get Treasure, only to have those Spirits replaced by new ones!

Vow of Torment: took me a second to parse that the point of this was further the deprecation of intimidate.

Promise of Tomorrow: More experiments in card advantage! I like the art and name, very hopeful and wholesome.

Ghen, Arcanum Weaver: the art for this looks more to me than anything, but whatever. Enchantments with ETB abilities are obviously nice, e.g. Act of Authority, Demonic Lore, and Sage's Reverie (no Induced Amnesia and Hatching Plans in the 99 tho, sorry). Spirit Loop-styled cards and enchantment tokens from e.g. Daxos the Returned can be used for sac fodder. Sagas can be recycled (you can loop Fall of the Thran if you really want to).
