That's what I'm going for!

For the mana, I think I've been hoping some of the indirect mana sources (blink or reanimate Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, steal mana rock with Yuffie, Materia Hunter, even out land advantage with Knight of the White Orchid, etc) would play out, but I definitely see what you mean. I added Arcane Signet and Orzhov Signet and added back Priest of Gix and Priest of Urabrask.

I can also see that I'm short on draw, and tutoring doesn't cover it. I strangely cut a few good options all at once and haven't noticed the hit yet, so good catch. I've added back in Matzalantli, the Great Door  ^Flip (which also helps with mana), Minas Tirith, and Shilgengar, Sire of Famine, along with your suggestion of Harvester of Souls, which puts me at 12 card advantage cards. I don't suppose I should go much more than that since my reanimate options are supplemental card advantage, particularly later-game.

Thanks for the insight!

CommanderMeanderer Thank you so much! I had Liesa, Forgotten Archangel in an earlier draft and had concerns about how she would interact with Shilgengar, Sire of Famine and had never even considered sacrificing her when he came out haha! So I’ll definitely add her back in for sure!

Also loving Skeletal Scrying I’ll try including both, can’t have too much extra draw!

Great suggestions!

Coward_Token Thank you so much! Yeah, building Shilgengar, Sire of Famine has been an adventure, so many directions to go and I love how flavorful he is so I decided to lean all the way into the flavor! Should have seen my maybe board while I was putting him together though something like 200 cards haha
