Thanks for taking a look at this Raffine graveyard / combo deck! I'll start by having the deck's goal to win the game below

1. Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim + Phyrexian Metamorph + Sharuum the Hegemon - This graveyard combo is my plan A. The amount of recursion in the deck means the combo is resilient to removal, and I can discard some combo pieces to Connive. Goryo's Vengeance is a way to set the combo off at instant speed.

2. Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim + Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry - Another graveyard combo. This one is a bit tougher to pull out of the graveyard because not all my recursion hits non creature artifacts.

3. Lich's Mastery + Queza, Augur of Agonies - Is a win with any card draw, Connive will make this a win the same turn I land the Mastery.

4. Just beating down with creatures

All of the other cards in this deck should play into winning the game in these three plans, or just attacking and winning with small creatures that get buffed from the Connive triggers.

Below I'll have questions I would love some advice / input on.

1. General mana base advice. I come in at 49 lands / ramp cards

2. Should I cut down on some counters / removal?

3. Is this much graveyard recursion too much? Or should I swap some out for artifact recursion like Myr Retriever
