Removed Human Package —May 25, 2018

I pulled Thalia's Lieutenant and moved Thalia, Guardian of Thraben to the sidbeoard in favor of Ajani's Pridemate and Genesis Chamber. This reduces the strain on casting my spells as well as synergizes better with the lifegain triggers, as there will be more of these than human triggers.

The sideboard is ever changing; I like the addition of Athreos, God of Passage for control match ups and swapped Leyline of the Void for Rest in Peace for more consistency.

I'd consider cutting red entirely for a set of Sign in Blood/Night's Whisper, possibly still running martyr of sands, using black for cardraw to maintain the value of martyr. Although with all the token tools, an aristocrats package might work too.

I like the idea of making sisters super card advantagy and grindy. Something like Thoughtpicker Witch serving as a lock peice alongside some 1 drop spam and graveyard recursion perhaps, with ranger of eos keeping it running.

Still, I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with, black has some interesting tools like Plunge into Darkness, Arguel's Blood Fast  Flip, Athreos, God of Passage, Garza's Assassin and Profane Command.

I think red is what keeps this deck competitive. It gives me Blood Moon in the sideboard as well as a way to close out the game. Purphoros, God of the Forge does some serious work with all the tokens that will be entering, not to mention Norin the Wary gaining life and pumping our Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant.

I was thinking of adding a Painful Truths for some more draw. I do really like the idea of Thoughtpicker Witch and might have to playtest that angle.

Thanks for the thoughts!
