Planned Changes:

• Coming Out:

  • Sphinx of Uthuun: Not a wizard. Already have draw elsewhere.
  • Gather Specimens: Fairly expensive. Most of the time just gets one creature. Feels bad to play against.
  • Clone: Not a wizard (unless we clone one of our wizards)
  • Willbender: Can't use for draw unless face up, at which point it's just a body.
  • Voidmage Apprentice: Can't use for draw unless face up, at which point it's just a body.
  • Deadeye Navigator: Not a wizard. Offers some protection for VIPs and synergy with ETB effects, but we can probably find more utility elsewhere.
  • Thassa, God of the Sea: Not a wizard. Scry is ok, but we have draw elsewhere. Not swinging, so the unblockable component isn't used much.
  • Ixidron: Not a wizard. Hides our wizards. We have other boardwipe options.
  • Skullclamp: We prefer to keep our wizards on the board, and we don't have many tokens to sac to this, so we can get more draw elsewhere.
  • Ancestral Memories: Decent filtering, but we can get more draw and other utility elsewhere.
  • Simic Manipulator: Slow to build up. Not many big bodies to keep him growing.
  • Urza's Bauble: Just filler.
  • Fact or Fiction: We get enough draw elsewhere, we don't really need conditional draw.
  • Treasure Cruise: Potentially cheap draw is good, but we don't fill up our graveyard quickly and we generally want to keep things in there if we can.
  • Guile: Not a wizard. Fairly big body, and synergy with counters, but a bit too threatening. Want to keep a lower profile.

• Going In:

  • Stonybrook Banneret: Make all of our wizards cheaper.
  • Thassa's Oracle: Make draw a win condition
  • Laboratory Maniac: Make draw a win condition.
  • Dakra Mystic: Some group hug to make as a less likely target.
  • Baral, Chief of Compliance: Value without tapping. Synergy with spells and counters.
  • Ertai, Wizard Adept: Counterspells on a stick.
  • Naban, Dean of Iteration: Value without tapping. Synergy with ETB effects.
  • Graceful Adept: Value without tapping. Uncaps hand size.
  • Patron Wizard: All wizards are now cheap counterspells.
  • Portal Mage: Send a big bad away. Synergy with Naban.
  • Sage of Fables: Makes wizards bigger. Allows for more draw, without needing to tap. Synergy with Naban.
  • Glen Elendra Archmage: Repeatable counters when combined with Sage of Fables.
  • Surgespanner: Repeatable bounce when combined with Azami, Lady of Scrolls or Patron Wizard
  • High Tide: Instant speed ramp. Cheap enough to throw on Isochron Scepter
  • Cyclonic Rift: Clear the board. Roughly replaces Ixidron

Andrew30001 on Elenda really does smell like roses

Viscera Seer, Ashnod's Altar, Skullclamp - These three are great ways to make use of the tokens that Elenda leaves behind as well as ways to buff her up.

Sidisi, Undead Vizier - Sidisi is a great tutor that can also sac a creature if need be.

Gray Merchant of Asphodel - Gary is almost a must-include in any deck with enough black.

Rally the Ancestors, Command the Dreadhorde - These can be huge if you have enough cards in the graveyard.

Bolas's Citadel - This lets you take advantage of the life gain in the deck and can even drain your opponents.

I love this deck and it seems super fun and casual. Hope you and your girlfriend have fun playing it!

Curious Obsession seems like a good replacement for Curiosity, as Ruhan has to attack each turn. It's your deck, so I don't know how it works, but I think Ancestral Vision might be slow for an aggro deck. Note that Skullclamp does not trigger if Ruhan goes to the command zone, I think(he doesn't die). Bloodforged Battle-Axe could be fun. I've seen it do work, both in paper and on YouTube.

There are a lot of good suggestions already here. I would add Entomb.

I also think adding Chainer, Dementia Master would be helpful as reanimation redundancy. I know, I know, he's not a demon. But it's just one spell, right?

Lastly, Skullclamp and Culling the Weak. Ok, I'm done.

Solid ideas bud. Will do some testing tonight and see how i like em.

I did originally have Skullclamp in, but as the deck progressed, i found it wanting. Only being good half the time and never being so great i just HAD to have it. Ill do a retest, but im not so sure about that one
