Havengul LichBound Summoning 75 cards, 15 sideboard 2 {Sulfur Falls} 4 {Dragonskull Summit} 4 {Drowned Catacomb} 4 {Mountain} 4 {Swamp} 5 {Island} 23 lands 2 {Sheoldred, Whispering One} 3 {Priest of Urabrask} 1 {Consecrated Sphinx} 3 {Havengul Lich} 2 {Grave Titan} 3 {Flayer of the Hatebound} 2 {Inferno Titan} 3 {Perilous Myr} 2 {Frost Titan} 21 creatures 4 {Heartless Summoning} 4 {Faithless Looting} 4 {Ponder} 4 {Mana Leak} 16 other spells Sideboard 4 {Skinrender} 4 {Dead Weight} 4 {Vapor Snag} 2 {Evil Twin} 1 {Havengul Lich} 15 sideboard cards Notes: I need some opinions for this deck. I am not too sure about the 4 {mana leak}s. I was thinking about another draw spell or even {gilded lotus} to take full advantage of the {havengul lich}. thoughts or ideas welcome. Also I just stumbled upon the {Flayer of the hatebound} and {havengul lich} combo tonight. I am hoping it works out. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks. One more thing. The sideboard probably needs adjusted as well. Just kinda threw what didn't make the cut in there.

Interesting idea, i like the cards you included for the reanimation, but i feel you missed some staples. {rune-scarred demon}, {forbidden alchemy}, and of course {SOLEMN SIMULACRUM}. Aside from that you have a good start, though i warn you if your meta has any graveyard hate youre SOL, and be careful about relying on lich too much, he dies easy and fast. Maybe consider a single {urabrask the hidden} or {zealous conscripts} and of couse a clone of some kind.

This archetype is largely formed by the meta in which it is played, but the pinnacle always includes {bonfire of the damned} and {thundermaw hellkite}, but those are by no means necessary for an fnm.

I originally had {forbidden alchemy} in this deck but it was too slow that's why I am using {faithless looting} paired with {ponder}. I like {rune scarred demon} a lot but I don't really know what I would search for other than sheoldred or lich.

He is the final piece of the combo, you search for whatever piece you need to go infinite mana and damage, plus you can search clones and drop them for one mana with a {heartless summoning} out to go from no board to multiple 5/5 fliers instantly (plus haste with {urabrask the hidden}).

Since u have that infin mana combo with the priest, i assume u dont want to spend money on bonfires, try {volcanic geiser} or watever its called

If I add the two {evil twins} that I have the 4 {clones} that I have a couple {rune scarred demon}s and a couple {urabrask the hidden}s what do I take out?

A {flayer of the hatebound} and all the mana leak. {Evil twin} and {clone} are jokes, {phantasmal image} and {phyrexian metamorph} are worthy clones to run.

Well I have no {phantasmal image}s and only one {phyrexian metamorph}. I personally like evil twin just for the ability and if he is paired with urabrask you can activate it instantly. Worth it if you are copying opponents stuff and the you can cast their creatures with the lich. Assuming they are playing your colors. What do you think about sideboarding {gilded lotus}?

Id sideboard {gilded lotus}, {deceiver exarch}, and {deadeye navigator}

I'd add {devils play} somewhere. A cheap and not as effective bonfire. But still really good because you can go infinite mana and cast it once and if t gets countered just do it again from the grave.
