Thanks for the input, Link. Wurmcoil is there as a Plan B alternate win condition, and I can cheat it in with Grand Architect as early as turn 4 with the right conditions. Buffing the Wurmcoil itself isn't a huge priority, because I'd rather copy it with Phantasmal Image and Metamorph to get the built in buff from the many lords and have a good army of them sitting on the board. Skaab Goliath is a nice big body to soak up damage, but he becomes too conditional to cast for the blitz play style of illusions. He might work in a zombie deck, but even then exiling your own graveyard goes against the reanimator strategies that zombies favor.
