Deck Description

Trying to see if I can make Bogbrew Witch work in Pioneer.

The original build for this deck was done by a friend back when the Bogbrew Witch package was standard legal. The cards have been sitting in my collection ever since.

The deck name comes from when the deck used to run 4x Angelic Accord.
Griffin Aerie is a very similar card to Angelic Accord, just 2 mana cheaper.

Sideboard is a WIP

How to Play

Witch Put Newt into Cauldron. Angel comes out of Cauldron.

The deck's main goal is to make a token at the end of each of your turns using Griffin Aerie. Angelic Accord makes a bigger token for the same trigger (just more life) and can also trigger at the end of the opponent's turn.

To achieve this, we have a number of repeatable life gain effects that gain 4+ life a piece:
Bubbling Cauldron - works nicely with the reoccurring creatures. Is also tutorable with the Witch.
Trading Post - Gains you 4 life at the low cost of discarding a creature, which is good wit the reoccurring creatures.
Elixir of Immortality - In addition to the life gain, this shuffles your graceyard back into your deck. This is especially good with Festering Newt as it puts them back into the deck so Witch can tutor them out again.

Tips and combos:

Discarding Silversmote Ghoul to Trading Post will return it to the battlefield at the end of your turn. (so be sure to only do this in your turn)

As Angelic Accord can trigger at the end of the opponent's turn, if they try kill one of your creatures, sacrificing it to Bubbling Cauldron will give you a 4/4 Angel for their trouble.

If you somehow get 2 Angelic Accord out (the deck used to run 4), you can double up on your Angel tokens every turn by sacrificing one every turn to Bubbling Cauldron.

The Bogbrew Witch fetching a Festering Newt, then sacrificing the Newt to Bubbling Cauldron is a viable win condition when Griffin Aerie / Angelic Accord is not available. This is especially good if you can loop it using Elixir of Immortality.

Don't forget that Reassembling Skeleton can reanimate itself on the opponent's turn. This is good for getting in some chip damage before sacrificing it again, or to get some emergency life gain off of Bubbling Cauldron, or even to remove it from the graveyard if you're forced to sacrifice Elixir of Immortality early.

Bubbling Cauldron can be used to sacrifice a creature to turn on Revolt for Fatal Push.

What about Orzhov Charm or Revival // Revenge instead of Elixir of Immortality or Trading Post?

Elixir of Immortality and Trading Post are in here largely for the lifegain to trigger Angelic Accord / Griffin Aerie when Bubbling Cauldron isn't around. Elixir also shuffles Festering Newt back insot the deck for Bogbrew Witch to tutor up again.

Your suggestions would work with the Bogbrew package, but my choices are so I don't have to rely on that package too much.

I think Prized Amalgam works better than Reassembling Skeleton. I also think that if you're trying to trigger Silversmote Ghoul and Griffin Aerie you should run Basilica Bell-Haunt and Oath of Kaya.

Reanimating my creatures ( Reassembling Skeleton and Silversmote Ghoul ) are not really the main goal of the deck. They're there as recurring sacrifice fodder for Bubbling Cauldron, so that the Cauldron can trigger Griffin Aerie / Angelic Accord every turn.
