Deck Description

A post-rotation test deck.
Comments and suggestions would be great!

How to Play

Game 1 is pretty straight forward:
Note: I don't really like Deathrite Shaman in this but don't really know what would fill that slot or a similar/better job.

Play creatures to build up and start chipping away at their life. Then when Varolz or Duskmantle comes out all hell should break loose. Keep their board clear with removal and counters for things I can't deal with (like Aetherling). Zameck Guildmage for spot-draw or creature boost later in the game. On average I'll lose 1.33 life per turn to Duskmantle Seer while it's in play. I think Ashiok is better than people give her/him/it credit. It's an all around good card against many different types of decks: 1) It's +2 and -X are great for using creature based decks against themselves and 2) the -10 seems like a lot but it can be devastating to a control deck if I can make them ditch their hand with a couple solid threats on the board.

Game 2 is a different story. If Duskmantle Seer wins me game 1 my opponent may sideboard specifically to prevent that e.i. Lowering their curve, side in hate like Renounce the Guilds, etc. So in some cases I may side out Duskmantle Seer for Desecration Demon and more removal to make the Demon's ability more painful. Obviously if I never play it they may not suspect it so I'd keep it in til game 3 if it comes to that. Woodlot Crawler for green decks, underworld connections and Thoughtseize for control decks, and ratchet bomb for token decks (if they're a thing after rotation).
Note: Woodlot Crawler may not be necessary because I can't really tell what will happen to standard over the next few weeks. The Sideboard will continue to be updated as I play and see other decks played.
Again, comments would be very helpful!
