In the tradition of Tavern Swindler and Tavern Scoundrel.

Create a three-color Knight.

Faithless Salvaging tech: If you cast it while hellbent and then play what you drew, it's like casting a cheap Divination spread over two turns in red. Please, contain your arousal.

Tavern Scoundrel: Much better than Tavern Swindler . Obviously explosive between a certain pair of eyes . I'm getting pretty excited over the likely coin toss fixer.

Thanks sergiodelrio.

Master Transmuter is hot (however she is making me think of the Borg Queen).

I always thought Tavern Swindler was smiling, now I can see it's... something else.

Sage of Mysteries has a chain in the water.

Interesting Idea. Add Exquisite Blood to infinite ping opponents with Sanguine Bond or Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose . I would add Fountain of Renewal , Nyx-Fleece Ram and or Ajani's Mantra to gain life each turn. You don't need to ramp if you include Chaplain's Blessing , Renewed Faith or even Tavern Swindler . These can make Licia cost only .

So, even with Vitos ability Dark Confidant seems like a bad fit for this deck. With 12 cards with 5+ cmc you could be in for a big slap in face every upkeep. Additionally, you have some underwhelming cards like Tavern Swindler and Foreboding Fruit. Marauding Blight-Priest and perhaps Nullpriest of Oblivion would serve you better.

Love Tavern Swindler. Absolutely agree it fits right in with the "G" in LEGS.

If we can get more consistent early game life gain, then the combination of Speaker of the Heavens and Griffin Aerie can start generating a number of useful tokens. Although I really like Angel of Destiny it might be a little slow to reach a win-con.

I view Tavern Swindler and Feed the Swarm as the weaker cards in the deck that can be removed for 2 Light of Hope and 3 Speaker of the Heavens. If you are going to use Hagra Mauling  ^Flip as a land, then you still need Heartless Act for some extra removal. I think that we probably still need to add some extra life gain.
