Crucible wasn't impactful enough. If Coffers wasn't in the yard I really didn't feel the need to be recurring swamps.
Relentless Dead seems good on paper, but my deck isn't optimized to take full advantage of his abilities. He was nice early on to pressure planeswalkwers, but more often than not he was sac fodder to flip Liliana and I don't really have a zombie theme to abuse his death trigger. Returning him to my hand also taxed my mana more than getting back a 2/2 was worth.
Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat are added to drain people out by taking advantage of the decks natural tendency to kill creatures.
