Crow-Umbra on Paper Deck #1 Severina Raine

Overall your deck looks really solid. Kudos on the curve, I love to see that slide shape lol.

I'd recommend checking out Scapegoat and Clever Concealment as additional board protection effects. I've also had some decent success with Plumb the Forbidden as a draw option, especially in response to board wipes (bonus points if the wipe is Living Death).

You could maybe swap Mortify for Dismantling Wave, as you can hit multiple targets for the value of just one card. Soul Partition is also pretty cool as a versatile option for removal or protection effect for a single permanent.

I like them, but then again - I like most forms of cheaper removal that can hit a variety of targets. Mortify is a bit on the more expensive side imo - especially in black and white. Since you're running Atraxa, Praetors' Voice as your commander you have access to green. I'd just rather run Beast Within as it can target any permanent for the same CMC and it only costs one green and two generic pips as opposed to one white, one black and one generic pip.

AstroAA, how do you feel about Fracture or Mortify?

Well first thing that stands out is that you need more mana, probably 35 lands plus a few more rocks - if there was any deck to use a Sol Ring in, it's one where your commander costs six! Given you're not running many tapped lands anyway some of the extras could be filled in by the ZNR DFCs like Hagra Mauling  ^Flip, giving you more lands if you need them without sacrificing spell slots. Once you're making sure that the deck is consistent in getting there you could also then add some bigger creatures or other finishers, safe in the knowledge that you should be able to hardcast cast them most games (and given how much life you can gain recurring 6/7 drops should be easy enough). Speaking of might be worth at least CONSIDERING other graveyard stockers/reanimator spells such as Unmarked Grave/Reanimate in case Rudolf is indesposed or you have to recover from a board wipe. Given how easy it is for you to make Rudolf indestructible board wipes are going to be a great friend - being in white you can take the slightly cheaper Wrath of God/Day of Judgment over Damnation, then get a bit more spenny with Toxic Deluge/The Meathook Massacre or pay a bit of extra mana to get flexibility in Merciless Eviction/Austere Command. Essence Pulse and Fumigate gain life as well. Similarly you're in the best colours for spot removal: ditch Disenchant and the cards which give -x/-x (they might not get the job done on a big boi) and get Vindicate/Mortify/Anguished Unmaking/Fateful Absence/Path to Exile. The deck is also quite commander-centred, meaning that lasting protection for the main man is more important than an instant which saves him once. Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots are the classics but I like Blessing of Leeches in commander as you can regenerate for free as many times as you need per turn while the life loss is meaningless to you. Otherwise you might want see if my Licia deck (Reign in Blood) has anything you like the look of.

If you are looking for instants to take down hasters, I might recommend Mortify, Orzhov Charm, Anguished Unmaking, and Hero's Downfall.

There's also the tried and true ones like, Fatal Push, Portable Hole, and Murderous Rider.

Those Mortify copies you're running are staring at me awfully hard wanting to be more like Fracture, Vanishing Verse, or even Infernal Grasp if universal creature targeting is key for you.

That said, it's nice to see another Arena player posting decks here on TappedOut. +1 just for that haha
