Pinnacle Monk

Creature — Djinn Monk

Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets !/! until end of turn.)

When this enters the battlefield, return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.

Is there a reason not to run Pinnacle Monk  Flip to get back key spells in the late game such as repay in kind, a board wipe, or if mizzix's mastery ends up in the graveyard. its also very funny with victimize.

In: Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate (a solid recursion option), Ali from Cairo (this is a ripcord to pull when you're looking at lethal, I've found myself in this position a few times and since this deck is very good at dialing up answers, I've slotted good 'ol Ali into the deck, Callous Bloodmage (this is a needed answer for decks that also rely on graveyard recursion), Carrion Feeder (I needed a creature based sac-oulet, which would be easier to tutor and would allow infinite combos), Dolmen Gate (chose over Legion's Initiative and Reconnaissance -both of which I love and are good alternatives -I'm testing out the gate to see which one I like more), Goblin Bombardment (free sac outlet, can go infinite), Pinnacle Monk  Flip (back into the main and out from the maybe; the one game I didn't have it I found the game stretching with lots of juicy targets accumulating in the graveyard and no way to get them back; I like options), Swamp (up to 5 total, better hitting land drops), Viscera Seer (another more optimal free sac-outlet).

Out: Aether Vial (I love this card and it's done good work mid-game, but I think there is better value), Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit (I decided to remove the infinite combo with Murderous Redcap for more resiliency and interaction potential), Baton of Morale (I really want to showcase the power of banding and think this could be a good way to direct damage to the creatures you want to die/recur, but am testing Dolmen Gate as an alternative way to do it), Cauldron of Souls (good for ETB recursion and wraths but I wanted to bring down the CMC, tough call), Claws of Gix (replaced for better options), Denethor, Ruling Steward (better options), Legion's Initiative (I love this card and it lets me get an extra ETB trigger, but am trying Dolmen Gate as an alternative), Murderous Redcap (took out the infinite damage trigger with Anafeza), Sword of Light and Shadow (I really like swords, but felt there are better options).

Based on some great feedback on Reddit and some of my own ideas, I made some edits (cards removed to sideboard so I can keep track).

In: Restoration Specialist, replaces Treasure Hunter and Auramancer.

In: Reveillark, replaces Pinnacle Monk  Flip

In: Panharmonicon, replaces Blade of Selves for ETB triggers

In: Felidar Guardian for infinite token combo with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. Replaces Athreos, God of Passage as it makes recursion conditional.

In: Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker. I wanted to test drive it.

In: Grand Abolisher (protection). Out: Boros Charmfoil (cry! I love this card, but it's not the right kind of protection for this deck).

In Murderous Redcap infinite damage win-con with Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit. Out: Figure of Destiny, feedback is that it is too slow, although to be fair it helped me win the first time I ran this deck.

Will also be updating Maybeboard based on feedback, some of the cards I don't have or haven't worked in yet.
