Young Necromancer

Creature — Human Warlock

When this enters the battlefield, you may exile two cards from your graveyard. When you do, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

Hey welcome to TappedOut :) Nice budget Golgari brew you have here.

Sol Ring is a staple card for ramp in Commander. You might not be playing it because your playgroup has banned it? If that's not the case, consider adding it? You're trying to play Stickfingers like Meren when they're very different Commanders. Consider a different approach with Stickfingers?

Meren can reanimate, but only after you get some or many experience counters by sacing your own creatures thus you want to play a lot of creatures with Meren. Meren is a lot of setup though for reanimation and you want to play little creatures who can sac themselves such as Sakura-Tribe Elder and Viscera Seer. What Meren lacks is getting creatures into your graveyard to reanimate, that's usually what makes Meren slow.

Stickfingers is different, it's the enabler to get creatures you want to reanimate into your graveyard right away. All you need with Stickfingers to reanimate is to trigger him, reveal a big creature and have a reanimation spell in your hand. Playing less creatures with Stickfingers there's much less setup for reanimation.

Playing less creatures with Stickfingers gives you more chances to reveal your big creatures who you want to reanimate without needing a ton of mana to cast Stickfingers. If you reduce your creature count down to the best creatures you want to reanimate and creatures who can recur any card from your graveyard then you have a much better chance of reanimating a big creature as well as recasting reanimation spells.

Less creatures does conflict with how big Stickfingers is, but if you're playing for reanimation that shouldn't matter and Stickfingers would be better as a sac fodder for value reanimation or draw. Consider reducing the creature count to your best big creatures and creatures who can recur any card from your graveyard? All other spells in your deck could then be noncreature ramp, other reanimation and removal.

Here's an example of a reduced creature base using the best creatures you already have and some others after within your budget to consider adding:

If you like these ideas and choose to go this direction than I offer more advice.

Since this deck is so commander-centric, I'd recommend probably cutting 4-5 of your least favorite ETB effects and replacing them with some protection for your commander:

Swiftfoot Boots, Whispersilk Cloak, etc.

As for cuts, I see some negative synergy with Young Necromancer + Specter of Mortality and things like Possessed Skaab or Cadaver Imp. I'd focus either on exiling creatures from your grave or returning them, not both.

Cards id Consider adding:

Diabolic Tutor should be in the deck

Killing Wave should add this great finisher and liliana text

Command the Dreadhorde Liliana with great artwork and a nice finisher

Mutilate great board wipe with Liliana text

Liliana's Specter goes with the current theme

Oath of Liliana good removal and on theme

Liliana's Scrounger great for all the planeswalkers and removal

Liliana's Scorn bad removal but also works as a tutor

Liliana's Reaver fits into the discard theme

Liliana's Influence tutor and kind of a board wipe

Liliana's Indignation direct damage and fill graveyard

Liliana's Elite weak but gets stronger with graveyard

Liliana's Contract kind of bad draw but on theme

Liliana, Death Wielder old planeswalker but could be fun

Liliana, Death's Majesty token maker and is pretty good

Liliana's Shade Bad but kind of ramp

Entomb great card

Reanimate great card

Gravecrawler great card for combo but idk if it fits here

Settle the Score bad removal but helps with planeswalkers

Triumph of Cruelty on theme with discard

Alright, 100%like WTF Mode the best:

Scarabosaur

Creature - Dinosaur Insect

You may cast Scarabosaur from your graveyard, but not from anywhere else.

Flying

Scarabosaur can only attack or block if you have more cards in your graveyard than your library.

5/7


Idk, definitely extremely broken in Dredge, but otherwise just weird, lol. I think it'd be a fun mythic rare in a return to Amonkhet or some nonsense like that.

I recognize that you just meant color identity, but that wasn't WTF enough for me


I'd like to see a child card Twins of Maurer Estate, Blessed Spirits, Child of the Pack  Flip, Cloistered Youth  Flip, Blood Bairn. Young Pyromancer and Young Necromancer are also pretty young, so if you want to continue that cycle, that's cool as well.
