Survival of the Fittest should definitely be in and now is. I've done a straight substitute for Tortured Existence, but both are so good im going to see what else we could afford to lose in order to keep them both.

I dont know if i just misunderstood you but i dont think that Tortured Existence can trigger dredge. Dredge only triggers when you DRAW a card, torex just adds the card to your hand which is mechanically different.

Eternal Witness one of the best ETB.

Tortured Existence Survival #2

There are more efficient sac outlets than Eater of Hope

Quagmire Druid neat sac outlet.

You need a few spells that interact with Warped Devotion. Recoil was past tech.

Hey, fellow Syrix fan, nice to meet you :D

This looks fine as is. My own Syrix is kind of a discard/sacrifice hybrid, but still, Tortured Existence is a great way to trigger Sy every single turn to maximize his damage output. What's more, Glint-Horn Buccaneer is a great source of damage for the deck.

I wish you tons of fun with the deck!

Maybe Tortured Existence together with Skeleton Crew for a army of Skeletons?

Chittering Rats and Painful Memories some of the only black effects to create mill opportunity.

Thoughtpicker Witch if your opponent won't play along, make them.

Tortured Existence epic common! Definitely a value engine. Haunted Crossroads creates even more value.

And if possible Volrath's Stronghold

Love this build and concept.

If you’re open to feedback: Tortured Existence could add some potential value here. Perhaps even Cabal Initiate and/or Rancor , Muscle Burst/Diligent Farmhand for the life gain & beats.

Garna, the Bloodflame is kind of obvious ;)

Tortured Existence is insane, as is Phyrexian Reclamation.

To actually reanimate stuff, Doomed Necromancer, Phyrexian Delver and Dread Return are cool.
