Exquisite Blood = Eon Frolicker Cyclonic Rift = Ukkima

If I had to fit Cyclonic Rift in at this point, I feel like Curtain's Call would be the one to get replaced by it. I do love the value of Curtain's Call in here because of its CMC damage and not having to actually PAY that CMC myself.

Also, I feel like I have too many creatures, but I can tell objectively. Exquisite Blood seems like suuuuuuuch a good card to put in this deck, and I cant figure out what to cut for it, if at all. Maybe Blessing of Leeches? But that's for Yuriko or one of my giant tanks to soak up damage and stay out.

I think Ponder and Brainstorm might have to be put back in this deck, as well. At the very least, Ponder. I'm thinking Ponder > Blessing of Leeches? Or, I might throw in Paraiah's Shield instead of Blessing of Leeches? BoL damages me and limited my option since I can technically only use it once. I cant Ninjustsu out anyone who has it, otherwise it get throw out and its effect is done. But if I had the shield, I could just attach it to other creatures, and it works well with how I use Yuriko. Human shield and just constantly cheat her back in.

Ideally, I would have Sesnei Top instead of/with Ponder, lol

I'm sure there are 1-2 cards you can suss out that could be replaced with Ponder/Top/Brainstorm. And what do you think overall about the PShield idea? I feel like if there were any deck to use the shield in, it would be this one.

You can cut Keeper of Keys since most of your stuff is already unblockable or hard to block anyway and you don't need monarch to draw cards that badly. Cut Gingerbrute because... its just not that good here? Again you have better unblockable creatures that don't make you pay. And I would lose Conduit of Ruin for right now because it has only two targets. If you were full of eldrazi it would make sense but right now it can only hit Void Winnower and Meteor Golem.

Later on if you add more eldrazi like ulamog, or even some of the high CMC uncommon ones this could go back in.

Blessing of Leeches could go you are right. Its ok protection but there are cards that protect it better without costing you like like we talked about in your yennet deck.

You know me I still don't think 33 land is enough especially running 9 rampish cards... I would use some cuts to a
