Blood on the Snow
seemed too good to pass up. If someone killed my
Lurrus of the Dream-Den
, my combo was dead. Being able to not only wipe the field but bring her back was essential. With new additions such as
Dauthi Voidwalker
she has become even more important to save.
Liliana, Waker of the Dead
and
Kaya the Inexorable
felt like a perfect match for this deck. Getting either emblem off feels strong, and given the more control feel of the deck felt appropriate. Especially with the many low cost creatures that we can safely discard, and setting up easy sacrifices for our
Priest of Forgotten Gods
.
Valki, God of Lies
not only is strong early game, but he can come back later as a power house of a planeswalker. Don't be afraid to play him early either. He can give us insight on who to target with our
Thought Erasure
and bring him back later with
Dark Intimations
and possibly with our
Athreos, God of Passage
too.
Dark Intimations
gives us a double hit to our opponent, and a double bonus for us. We get to bring back our
Fae of Wishes
and
Valki, God of Lies
easily with this. Letting us fish in our side board some more, or play Valki for his planeswalker side later on.
Midnight Clock
I always try to put some sort of graveyard shuffling into my decks, and this card felt worth it. It's relatively cheap, and we can potentially fire off multiple a game if it goes long enough or we can get
Kaya the Inexorable
's emblem off.
Ashiok, Nightmare Muse
was a touch I didn't know this deck needed. Yea, he doesn't have an emblem like Liliana or Kaya, but he feels insanely strong on his own. Being able to have the potential to play 3 cards for free can be a complete game changer, especially when coupled with Dauthi to help put cards into exile for us.
Dauthi Voidwalker
Gives us an insane amount of pressure early on, and coupled with
Lurrus of the Dream-Den
can give us insane value once we can get him to stick. Not only value, but helping in setting up some great card pulls with Ashiok.
