KllrRoboPenguin Thanks for the suggestions!

I could probably slot in Assassin's Trophy in the place of Beast Within. And I've thought about Divine Reckoning before, but I've found that a full board wipe has often been more useful than all but one creature.

Ripples of Undeath seems like it would fit this deck, but I agree, it does run a little slow. I wouldn't replace Sylvan Library with it, but maybe one of my 'ramp' cards like Grapple with the Past or Winding Way. I'm actually working on getting a copy of this card, so I'll slot it in and play a couple rounds and see how it flows.

Not sure how I missed Bleeding Effect, it does seem like a better Odric, Lunarch Marshal. I'll have to play around with adding that in too.

As for Shrike Force, it's a little too vanilla for me. And my issue with Ketramose, the New Dawn is that I can't stand the checkered flag set symbol haha. That, and his additional abilities don't really synergize well with the rest of the deck. I've tried to curate my creatures to be both a good source of keywords and also be effective on the field if Kathril gets sidelined for any reason.

I was wondering your thoughts on Assassin's Trophy, & Divine Reckoning as removal, Shrike Force for double strike, Ketramose, the New Dawn for menace & indestructible, Ripples of Undeath for milling and a sylvan library type effect, and Bleeding Effect as an alternate wincon?

Assassin's Trophy seems like an easy replacement for a Beast Within, and I like Divine Reckoning's utility of being able to be flashed back in case I mill it. Having more sources of indestructible and double strike counters seems good, but the creatures lack useful utility on their own. Trying to decide if Ripples of Undeath is too slow or not. As for Bleeding Effect, it seems like a better Odric, Lunarch Marshal effect that works perfect for our graveyard.

Let me know what you think!
