Hello, thank you for taking a moment to look at my Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper deck. This is my first EDH deck as well as my first singleton deck, so I'm open to any and all input from people more experienced in this format. Im putting more cards than I probably should in the maybeboard to show you what some of my stronger considerations are and what I've already seen. Another goal of this deck is to get the trash card Shaman's Trance to be at least playable.

The focus of this deck is on shaman tribal, aristocrat strategies (tokens and damage), and etb/death effects. The tribe's strengths come from supporting other creatures on the board, or replicating spell effects similarly to the wizard creature type. They are also an expert tribe in ritual sacrifice, whether that means others or themselves. The deck is full of ways to cheat creatures in, kill them, then cheat them back in.

Some key components of the deck are Mortuary + Verdant Succession , a powerful way to gain infinite tokens or deal infinite damage. Whenever a creature that doesn't trigger succession dies, I have Dark-Dweller Oracle to sac a creature and replay it, and I'm also putting in, but don't yet have, a Harvester of Souls with a Deathrender.

The method of making Shaman's Trance work is to play it in tandem with Finale of Promise thereby giving me access to any instants and sorceries in my opponents graveyard, though I wish I just owned a yawgmoth's will instead. I've uploaded the deck with 52 non-land cards in it, leaving me about 10-13 cards as free space right now for the ratio i want, so feel free to suggest any cards you don't see and think might fit. Thanks for your help everyone :)
