I used to play a Heartless Summoning myr combo deck, and this looks like an actually sweet playable version of that crummy old deck! :D IDK if applicable here but some of the tech I used to play was: Grim Haruspex to draw thru the deck as u went, Spoils of the Vault to YOLO for a combo piece, Infernal Tutor for doubling up on Retrievers, and I actually really liked Necropede and Perilous Myr as defensive cards which could board stall until you hit the Summoning as well as provide removal value post-Summoning. Finally a new card I think would be nice for you is Voice of Victory, just protect your one big spell (curves nice 2->3) + there's a tiny bit of synergy with the mobilize tokens. Great deck Balaam, +'d this earlier but hadn't made it around to commenting!

I am very fond of any deck that plays Magic ‘not normally’, i.e. using/abusing zones of play in strange and advantageous ways. I like the mission statement here, but I wince a little when considering the enormous potential life loss Spoils of the Vault and Dark Confidant can incur. There is Scavenging Ooze, but is that enough to offset it? I’m eyeing that Shadowspear in the sideboard and wondering if it should see maindeck use. Then again, if things go according to plan it may not be needed and thus that slot be better occupied by what you currently have. Tough to say without extensive use.

Cloudy I love the suggestions! Let's take that in stages:
-
Persist is a great recommendation and there's tons of options for that: Return to Action which is comically off-target, Supernatural Stamina, Undying Malice, Not Dead After All, Postmortem Lunge, the list literally goes on.
-
Spoils of the Vault is literally meant to lose me the game. What's winning without risking it all for a hail Mary card? ..and why not? We've played the balancing act up until the last moments of the game.. so why not live (and die) a little?
-
If you want to splash white, there's plenty of options to do so! I think most notably you buy back things like Swords to Plowshares so that you can forego dying up against using Spoils of the Vault , and between better life balancing, and (imo) better protection- you could easily play a much more restrained, conqueroring game with Orzhov () colors.
Best of luck in the build, and make sure you tag me so I can upvote and see what you've decided on!

I don't think Spoils of the Vault is that good because you may lose the game if you have really bad luck. I also want to try white in my own version because I think Phyrexian Unlife would really help

Squee_Spirit_Guide Man I haven't thought about that Heartless combo in forever, I tried building that in modern aaaages ago with Infernal Tutor and Spoils of the Vault to dig for the combo cards. Also Grim Haruspex or Fecundity with Simian Spirit Guide and Grapeshot to kill since the Heartless Summoning will remove pretty much all the Blood Artist type pingers. The deck was pretty bad lol but it was fun when it worked.

Have you considered Plunge into Darkness or Spoils of the Vault?

Hey dude, Happy New Year! Hope you're 2024 started in a great way.
I'm stoked that you found a more personalized build that you really love, man! Let's talk about it.
If you're big on Bolas's Citadel, pairing it with Sensei's Divining Top & Aetherflux Reservoir seems natural to me but if you don't want to run combos I understand lol. The Reservoir is also just an awesome value piece here, though. I was really surprised to not see Angel of Destiny in the list, though! More ways to use your life as a resource like Ad Nauseam or Defiler of Faith might be worth considering here too. You're gaining so much life here, I might even consider crazy stuff like Plunge into Darkness, Peer into the Abyss & Spoils of the Vault if you're feeling froggy like that.
I can't remember if I saw Boon Reflection & Rhox Faithmender in the list, but...they exist too lol.
Good hearing from you!

The Price of Power | Rowan EDH

Hey man, just a heads up - Bond of Agony doesn't quite work here. For example let's say you pay 20 life with Blood Celebrant, activate Rowan, Scion of War's ability and cast Bond of Agony where X = 20. You'll still have to pay another 20 life as an additional cost. Not very good at all.
Also, have you considered Plunge into Darkness or Spoils of the Vault here? With cards like Torment of Hailfire & Crackle with Power in the mix, they're 1-card wincons here. Vampiric Tutor, Grim Tutor & Cruel Tutor also have some serious added benefit with this one.
