Idea to take advantage of the Fateful hour mechanic. The idea is to Cannibalize life for card advantage early on, and basically just take whatever damage gets thrown at it, then flood the deck with cheap powerful creatures after it hits Fateful Hour. Gather The Townsfolk to make tons of tokens on the cheap, and Thraben Doomsayer to make them fat. Faith's Shield can allow favorable trades early game and alpha strikes for endgame. I don't have much in terms of spot removal at the moment, and that might be a problem but I won't know too much until I test it more.

Note: This was an idea that I adapted out of a Casual deck. I have no intention of this being Tier 1, just playable. Suggestions are appreciated.

So with Bitterblossom becoming unbanned in modern, I'm exchanging 3 of the Blood Artists for them. The last I'm switching out for Repay in Kind. I don't want too many in the deck because resolving 1 should be a win and with such a high mana cost, it hurts a lot to pull it early with Bob draws. Leaving the Artists in the Sideboard for now, mostly just because I don't really know what should go in there besides them.

My thinking behind the artists is to protect me against board wipes. Since none of my tokens have haste, there's at least 1 turn between me hitting fateful hour and winning, and getting a WoG dropped on me then is really hard to recover from. I figure having 1 or 2 artists out gives me a boost of life to eat through while I scramble to reset my board.
