Major Deck Changes —May 19, 2017
After testing my deck against a tier one Abzan Delirium list, I have made some changes.
The dark confidants were not performing well at all as they were always killed by the opponent and never got the card advantage. Also, the Faithless Looting wasn't doing as well as I would like as my cards ended up in the grave, which isn't the point in this deck.
So as for the changes I added in Painful Truths as it is 3 color and I can draw more cards to have a higher card advantage and the lifeloss is easily offset by my lifegain. I also added Soulfire Grand Master to gain even more life and have the ability late game to keep my instants and sorceries in hand. Finally, I added Young Pyromancer so that I have more bodies on board to stop the opponents from connecting damage and to give more bodies for Archangel of Thune to hit.
This deck looks like a blast to play! The win cons get around most answers in the format by having large creatures, flyers, and lifegain. You also have great card advantage through Bob and looting. This would be a fun build for my local meta +1

Going off of what FadingSun said the lifegain and threats in this deck are brutal. I love the token subtype and burn as well

I like the deck. One thing I might change is possibly swapping blessed alliance in for path to exile. The modes seem more helpful the surprise untap my dudes gets alot of people. Untapping Kalitas or archangel seems very good. Plus I'm never a fan of ramping my opponent.
