8 cuts left to make... I will admit there are cards that would work very well in this deck that I'm not playing. I've decided to only buy 2 cards for the deck (Anointed Procession and Blade of Selves, for those curious) and otherwise just use stuff already in my collection. There are also definitely some decisions being made because I like the cards rather than because they're "correct" or "good", but what's the point of playing EDH if not to do things for the fun of it?

Revision 4

Added/removed cards:
-1 Corpse Knight
-1 Damnation
-1 Dictate of Erebos
-1 Land Tax
-1 Open the Armory

-1 Wayward Servant
+1 Buried Ruin
+1 Remember the Fallen
+1 Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

Realised I should probably have some protection for my commander given how much I'm relying on their effect to do the thing.

Also realising that multiple copies of Massacre Girl, while funny, is kind of ridiculous and not very helpful for my strategy so, even though I love her, she gets cut.

Revision 5

Added/removed cards:
-1 Massacre Girl
+1 Lightning Greaves
+1 Swiftfoot Boots

[willow]

The first cut might be the deepest, but the last cuts are the hardest... 2 to go.

Revision 6

Added/removed cards:
-1 Carrion Feeder
-1 Cryptbreaker
-1 Enlightened Tutor
-1 Expedition Map
-1 Kaya's Wrath
-1 Sign in Blood
-1 Thought Vessel

[willow]

We did it, reddit! Will have to get some games in with it to see if it's any good, but it should at the very least be *fun*

Revision 7

Added/removed cards:
-1 Falkenrath Noble
-1 Night's Whisper

[willow]

A couple small changes based on some cards I found that I forgot I had XD

Revision 9

Added/removed cards:
-1 Disenchant
-1 Prismatic Vista
-1 Yahenni, Undying Partisan
+1 Exotic Orchard
+1 Liesa, Forgotten Archangel
+1 Vindicate

[willow]

Apparently I either never had Shadrix Silverquill, or I lost it, either way I can't find them so replacing them with Lithoform Engine which can double Ratadrabik's trigger, or copy a legendary creature spell and instantly give me a death trigger on cast.

Revision 10

Added/removed cards:
-1 Shadrix Silverquill
+1 Lithoform Engine

[willow]

I don't know if Esper Sentinel (repeatable but removable card draw) is better than Read the Bones (one shot card draw, but includes scry and way less likely to be stopped) but I'd like to try it out and see what happens. Honestly, should probably have both? But I don't wanna cut anything else, so we'll try the sentinel and see?

Revision 11

Added/removed cards:
-1 Read the Bones
+1 Esper Sentinel
