Orzhov Boardwipes (MTG Arena) (Historic MTG Deck)

This deck is one of the first decks I built when I first started playing MTG: Arena back when it came out in 2019. It has continued to evolve as sets have been released, but I've held off posting it since before Kaldheim it was something of a novelty rather than a competitive build.

Now, with some of the Foretell options from Kaldheim, it is actually kind of a crusher of a deck.

Use Selfless Savior as a mana-free way to save deathtouch creatures or Seraph of the Scales from your own Boardwipe, then play out a Foretold Rise of the Dread Marn to create an instant army. With the current boardwipe cards in this build, it is possible to pull off this combo with only 4 mana (provided you've used Foretell on at least Dread Marn). 3-mana wipes are Bontu's Last Reckoning and Foretell off Doomskar.

Win conditions are either zombie armies created from Rise of the Dread Marn off of Boardwipe effects, and/or from Torment of Hailfire plays once the opponent's board & hand are pretty much clear.

Little side note, I don't actually have Unglued lands on Arena obviously, but I do in real life for all of my decks because I prefer the art. I wish they were an option on Arena as it's one of the only cosmetic-related things I'd actually care about.

Suggestions/Up-Votes are welcome & appreciated!

Anthology 4 Update — March 23, 2021

Edit

I'd been saving all of my in-game-earned coins (I don't spend cash on Arena) & was able to scoop up the Anthology 4 set this past week as it released. Some nice additions in there, most notably for this build Declaration in Stone which provides a decent low-mana Target Exile option (something Arena was lacking; apart from permanent-triggered stuff & 4-5 mana drops). I feel like this will help a lot more, as I've been seeing more and more Indestructible ability stuff floating around in builds as of late...
