The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
This is my second attempt at building an MTG deck, although the first one was a mess. I decided to make it in the standard format so that I'm not overwhelmed by the amount of available cards to use.I got the idea from a draft tournament I played with my friends recently, where I had some success using a strategy that involved amassing tokens to ease the use of cards with the Evoke ability (sorry if I get the terminology wrong, I'm still new to MTG). Once I got home, I decided to develop that idea, and it eventually turned into this. Evidently I ditched the Evoke ability as I started to see other options, but the token mechanic has remained the stable point on which I'm basing this deck.I'd obviously love some feedback since I don't have the cards to test the deck nor the experience to know if it'd work in practice. All feedback will be enormously appreciated!!!
The main idea is to produce tokens which you can sacrifice to force your opponent to sacrifice his own creatures via Dictate of Erebos.Spirit Bonds, in combination with multiple creatures with cheap CMC, will allow you to populate your side of the battlefield quickly. Once Dictate of Erebos is in place, you can quickly rid your opponents of their creatures.You can force the sacrifice of your tokens by using Spirit bonds' active, but this will only work if you have spirit tokens available. That's why I included Blood Host and Abhorrent Overlord. In addition to that, if you equip Gift of Immortality to Abhorrent Overlord, you can sacrifice Abhorrent Overlord in order to populate your side of the battlefield with black 1/1 flying harpy tokens on each occasion you sacrifice Abhorrent Overlord (and providing more sacrificial fodder to destroy your opponents' creatures) in addition to activating Spirit Bonds and Dictate of Erebos.Eternal Thirst is there to abuse this mechanic, since each creature your opponents lose will also strengthen your own.I included Griffin Dreamfinder due to this deck's reliance on enchantments. If you equip Gift of Immortality on Griffin Dreamfinder, you can sacrifice Griffin Dreamfinder every turn to recover an enchantment from the graveyard on each occasion.I still haven't added a sideboard, but I'll leave that to when I'm a bit more experienced.

my biggest thing i can see here is that your deck is just to slow of a win con with not enough ways to get there. So your goal is to use dictate to kill off their board and then beat them down from there? If so you need a better way to stall until then or you are just going to get blitzed out. I also think because of this decks mana curve you will have a lot of trouble with control decks and the RDW (red deck wins) decks. Control does not have enough creatures for your strategy to matter and red deck wins will just be to fast for you. My suggestion is try to streamline. Get some more straight up kill spells, banishing light is great look for more broad control like that. Also some life gain and discard effects will really help you to stall for your plan. Just try and streamline this as much as you can. Like for a starter id recommend setting one goal for your deck like how you want it to win most then focusing everything on that goal. Right now you just seem scattered. Hope this helped i know it was a lot to read so i apologize.
