Lands

Bonders' Enclave/War Room - Draw

Kessig Wolf Run - Used prior to commander ability + politics

Reliquary Tower - Nice to keep a fat hand. At this iteration of the deck, given your low avg cmc and not a lot of draw to keep up gas, it's premature. But worth noting for the future

Sheltered Thicket - Comes in tapped like your other land but is a dual land and can be cycled

Temple of Abandon - Also comes in tapped, not a dual but scry is nice. In a build like yours with a low cmc, I would try to remove any tapped land but if you're gonna use them for budget or other reasons, then this is better than what you currently have

Let me know what you think of each suggestion. Hope this helps

Yesterday on Does a reduction to max …

I control a Locust Miser. My opponent plays a Reliquary Tower. I play a Winter, Misanthropic Guide with exactly 4 card types among cards in my graveyard.

Does the Miser's ability reduce my opponent's maximum hand size after Winter has reset it? Or does the Reliquary Tower negate the Miser's ability somwhow due to them being applied in timestamp order? I.E. Is my opponent's maximum hand size 3 or 1?

Do hand size adjusting effects (± one) and hand size setting effects (== thirteen) apply on different sublayers?

They'll have a maximum hand size of 3 or less. When Shifting Woodland's ability resolves, the ability of Winter, Misanthropic Guide is generated with a new timestamp. Even though Shifting Woodland entered before Reliquary Tower, the ability in question has a later timestamp so will be applied after. Reliquary Tower will first remove the maximum hand size, then Winter will re-add it and reduce it, effectively winning out.

I have delirium, and I control a Shifting Woodland. An opponent has a Reliquary Tower which entered after my Shifting Woodland. If I activate the Shifting Woodland's ability to become a copy of Winter, Misanthropic Guide, does that opponent have no maximum hand size, or [Winter 3-] hand size?

DemonDragonJ on Why Has WotC not Reprinted …

3 weeks ago

WotC has reprinted Reliquary Tower, Rogue's Passage and Thespian's Stage numerous times, to the point that I feel comfortable with saying that those are three of the most frequently-reprinted utility lands, so I wonder why WotC has not reprinted Homeward Path more often, since it is very useful land, given that many players like to steal creatures from other players, so I definitely wish that they would reprint that land more often.

What does everyone else say about this? Why has WotC not reprinted Homeward Path more frequently?

I think you also need Spellbook. Otherwise you can't make it work until Turn 7, when you can cast both Ad Nauseam and Sickening Dreams on the same turn. With Spellbook (or Reliquary Tower), you could keep your large hand and then win on Turn 6 instead of 7.

You could also make it work by fetching Dark Ritual on Turn 4, then Ad Nauseam on Turn 5, then doing everything on Turn 6.

Your deck is mono-colored, so Terramorphic Expanse Is just a slower mountain: replace it with a mountain or another utility land. Unless the deck centers around your hand being larger than 7 cards, Reliquary Tower is just a filler land; Replace it with Buried Ruin for another way to maintain your combo pieces.

Yay, darkness. Here are some thoughts that might synergize with your deck:

• With Sheoldred feeding off of card drawing, you might consider things that speed up card drawing. These can be double-edged swords, but Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, Teferi's Puzzle Box, Memory Jar, and the like might be worth considering. Reliquary Tower may also not be a bad idea.
• Rather than Infernal Darkness, why not Contamination? You can also get an engine with things like Bitterblossom, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Reassembling Skeleton (or other recurring creatures, e.g. Bloodghast) to make your opponents cry even more.
• Koskun Falls could also be another way to tax your opponents.
• You could also go with Wound Reflection to double up on the suffering. Things like Kokusho, the Evening Star and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician are must-plays in any deck I have with black, and considering Gray Merchant of Asphodel might also be worth your time.
