if the goal is to use life gain triggers for the cards that get counters, i'd recommend Soul's Attendant, Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip, and Ajani's Pridemate. doesn't seem to be enough black cards here to be worth the splash. but with green you get access to Essence Warden, Tigra, Feline Fury, and Trelasarra, Moon Dancer. i think you have a bit too many non-creatures for Aether Vial. since everything in your deck costs 2 or less, you could probably get away with 16 lands.

I think Spectral Sailor would be better than Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip. You would be surprised how often that little bit of card draw can help.

I also still think you need to add more removal. Skyclave Apparition is a great card and should be in this deck, but it's 3 mana and at sorcery speed most of the time. Just my 2 cents! :-D

Thanks again for helping out on my first Pioneer deck. I wanted to ask a follow up question:

You had mentioned scrapping Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip in favor of maxing out Spell Queller and a couple other cards I already had. Looking things over, that makes sense to me but I have a concern. If I cut Lunarch I’ll only have Mausoleum Wanderer and Spell Pierce as one drops—do you think that’s alright? If this was Modern I’d feel leery about so few T1 plays, but I don’t know if that should/would carry over into Pioneer.

Well, I agree that additional dual lands are good, but Port Town is one of the worst. I'd suggest maybe 2x Cavern of Souls as you are heavy on spirits, and replace Port Town with 4x Seachrome Coast, and add 4x Adarkar Wastes. Probably 2x to 4x Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip would also be useful. I'd also add 2x Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire, 1x Otawara, Soaring City, and 2x Mutavault as your Supreme Phantom anthem will apply to an activated Mutavault because it is "all creature types."

I don't see any removal and that's needed in Pioneer. Probably 3x or 4x Get Lost would help. Probably 2x Sheltered by Ghosts would also be useful and would be great protection for your Spell Queller.

Honestly, I'd lose the 3x Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip, max out on Spell Queller and add 2x Mockingbird.

Just some thoughts-- hope this helps! +1 from me!

I would add that Curious Obsession is a good card, but I don't know that it is great in this deck. Try it out, but I could see cutting it to make room for the removal.

A pauper cleric deck seems cool, as Doubtless One provides a very solid finisher, but some of your card choices seem like they could use improvement!

For instance, Cleric of the Forward Order, Kelsinko Ranger and Three Tree Mascot all essentially have no ability in this build. I'd swap them out for Clerics that bring a little more to the table, such as Bane's Invoker, Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip or Dawnbringer Cleric. You might also like Crimson Acolyte and Obsidian Acolyte as ways to protect against common removal in the format, and more removal from critters like Monk Realist or Soltari Visionary.

Re-reading your deck description, if youre having trouble against your mono black deck you'll likely have trouble against other direct damage and control decks. Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip is used in a lot of decks and will greatly increase your longevity. Journey to Nowhere type effects find a place in most white decks of the format to get rid of big threats

Also, since it's a modern deck, I'd add some Soul Sisters (Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant). I also like Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip, but he's not as good. With all these Clerics/Angles, consider Righteous Valkyrie. Daxos, Blessed by the Sun is another worthy consideration. ... Instead of Revoke Existence, I really like Banishing Slash, even if you don't get the token from it. From the same set, Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire is a great land with good utility. Also, if you wanna drop Scoured Barrens/Blossoming Sands entirely, I'd look at Kabira Crossroads. And although it's not actually out yet, you'll want Essence Channeler from Bloomburrow.

Thanks for the suggestions Ookafont! I actually JUST cut Barbed Batterfist but this is still a pretty rough-draft-y list and i think it could be a nice card in place of Lembas which has felt a little slow where at Barbed Batterfist hits the ground running a bit faster. Foundry Helix is sweet but reduces Experimental Synthesizer’s draw consistency by being 3 mana. Faithless Looting is a pretty goated red card and i think id be more inclined if i was running Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip in addition to Sacred Cat but the deck doesnt benefit enough from gy stuff in its current state to feel like its quite worth it.
