You are quite right. I didn't realize the list had not updated when I added GQ and Dakmor Salvage...
I had thought about the circumstance of not running into Loam, and my thought was either another way to bring them back or use one that brings itself back while maybe throwing Loam into play. Hence Dakmor Salvage. My original thought here was no land no play and just beat with Bloodghast or Fulminator if I have to.
BUT I want this to work and you have given me a lot to think about. So I thank you, good sir.

I definitely agree with you, but Butcher's Ghoul was there for Gravecrawler and Retribution of the Ancients value.
Truly the better option for that slot is Blood Scrivener, for Altar's Reep, Vampiric Rites, and Gravecrawler. I don't know what I was thinking... Likewise, yes the second Bloodghast landfall trigger from fetches, DUH!
I thank you, good sir!

yeah i hear you about the stall...
i think the potential is there but it DOES feel like its missing something though...
maybe arena???
also its entirely out of my normal play style so that could be why i feel that way

so sylvan scrying was my attempt at reducing the variance of getting urborg/algea by T3 and also being back up for being mana short after smallpox... but idk you're prolly right...
i hear you on deglamer thats my current deck problems carrying over to new ideas...
bile blight was my answer to tokens BUT if i switch out for golgari charm im covered for this and the latter
idk about night creep though i feel like its effectively silence for all but mono-black...

thank you. essentially rather than trying to build the deck that everybody wants i tried to build a deck around mostly the cards nobody wants (sabertooth, war shaman, war beast, mauler, & infiltrator) so that the only trouble i would run into is getting the set of whisperwoods & wildcalls and give everybody a run for their money.

Oh i went through the entire list but ultimately decided against anything that requires death of my creatures simply for the sake of speed (except for Blood Artist... cuz DRAIN!), and also believe it or not things only die every turn when you can combo off which isnt always the case. I wanted the deck to be fast enough to be competitive while also gaining momentum in the long game. The really funny thing is that Tragic Slip AND Grave Pact were in the original draft of this deck both were taken out for speed and in the case of Tragic Slip redundancy. Also I was working with a budget mana base so things got dropped cuz they would play too late or took too much dedication, for instance, Caravan Vigil I wanted in there cuz it replaces its card and mana advantage as it replaces itself with morbid, but was taken out because the turn 2 required was impossible but now isnt worth it... things like that...
Bring it back though man, undying is better than persist people just aren't ready to see it.

Ghostway will enable you to avoid board wipes with little to no consequences to you

Wouldn't Squadron Hawk end up hurting you in this deck. Being that anybody who searches is screwed?
Also Path to Exile is a MAY search so all you really get is the exile which is good, BUT white doesn't really fit the build.
It seems like a stretch just to splash white...

OK. Fine then.
Why not splash black for Maralen of the Mornsong. (easy just switch Thornwood Falls with Opulent Palace)
Now you're both under the clock, but there is a guaranteed shuffle every turn.
Yes its a creature and can be dealt with "easily", BUT I find that is the appeal making your opponent waste precious plays while you pile on more shuffles towards their demise.

The idea was that Jeskai Ascendancy and Pyromancer Ascension COULD be used to win independently of each other.
I was trying to build a deck that would suit BOTH cards without putting preference on a single one.
I tried to put only one spell was dedicated to each strategy:
Manamorphose to Jeskai Ascendancy (which turned out to be good in BOTH cases),
Grapeshot to Pyromancer Ascension (which to this end I thought worked ).
When I was finishing this up i needed one more creature and it was down to Snapcaster Mage or Fatestitcher and admittedly I had went with Snapcaster Mage as to not OBVIOUSLY favor Jeskai Ascendancy. I thought that an early Snapcaster Mage would be counter productive, but a late one would be perfectly acceptable and be fuel for the fire.
As far as the land I wasn't thinking I guess it didn't seem to matter to me at the time.

With all that explained I am NOT unopposed to changing anything.
I THINK I fixed my mana problem and switched out Snapcaster Mage.

The answer has probably already been covered, but why not Stream of Consciousness?

IF I started (opening hand) with the Urza set and two Baubles/Swamps the soonest I could cast Exsanguinate is turn 4 which would be NICE except more often than not I'd be casting it turn 7 MAYBE turn 6.
The life drain is CHOICE but the BB cost puts it a turn too far.
So I will leave it my sideboard until I can figure what to drop for it.

I intend the +1 is MOSTLY used for a second draw and a guaranteed swamp play every turn.
The -6 isn't for the equip for pump its to play multiple equips in the same turn also its to pump Undercity Shade.
The -3 fits in with the equip and works as spot removal just like you said but its all on the same card.
Taking all of these in mind she fits in just fine as the plan is to swing for lethal all at once rather than a little at a time.

Definitely friend the Korlash/Tainted Strike combo is kinda sexy :P

WOW!
The funny thing is that I normally put Wayfarer's Bauble into my decks its a funny deck thinner.
Board wipes always make me nervous.
Mutilate would more often prevent me from outlasting my opponent than giving me a direct shot.
I REALLY like Korlash, Heir to Blackblade as a card its one of the ONLY legendary cards where multiples aren't dead draws. SUPER SEXY card.
But in this particular case I will sick with Liliana of the Dark Realm mostly for budget reasons. I re-worked the deck with Korlash, Heir to Blackblade instead, but it ends up being too close to $50.

I replaced it to see how cheap i could make it and forgot to change it back.
But what though? Soldier of the Pantheon, Soulmender, Sunblade Elf , Golden Hind, Nyxfleece Ram, Spirit of the Labyrinth, Voyaging Satyr? Nothing really stands out I think that is why I had Fleecemane Lion in there...

I left Ephemeral Shields in there because indestructible why not?
Do you like the Triplicate Spirits token idea? Buy more time, or fodder for Chord of Calling.
My only ideas were Fleecemane Lion, Spear of Heliod, Paragon of Eternal Wilds, Dictate of Heliod, Elspeth, or Ajani (Mentor of Heroes). so i figured Fleecemane would be the most practical being the only creature and all.
Perhaps creatures that enter with tokens? idk its a weird hole to fill.
