I used to have a pretty similar deck to this... What I would suggest is that you take the {Trackers Instinct} out for another {Sever the Bloodline} or just take both out for {Mulch}... This is like a Junk Reanimator deck if you ask me.

That's the point


It's not a reanimator, the win condition isn't relying on unburial rites.

And trackers instinct is vital to this deck, I either keep a shaman for the flashback or instinct into one and then flash it back with the shaman since I'm dumping lands into GY so I can grab an angel or one of my other bombs.

You only have one {Trackers Instinct} though... Thats my main concern.

Well I grisly salvage until then, I usually play trackers 70-80 percent of the time believe it or not

I'm playing this at FNM Friday.

Have to build a sideboard, some help? I'm terrible at sideboard and knowing what decks to board against.

Great mid range!
I highly recomment 3-4 {rhox faithmender} and 2 {Trostani, Selesnya's Voice}. My 5 color lotus has different win cons but functions roughly the same as i imagine this does. Extremely fast aggro could make for some rough matches but faithmender and trostani do wonders in those match ups. Add a couple {armada wurm} and it should be pretty solid. {faith's shield} maybe doesnt need to be added, but for sure take a look at it.

I was thinking the trostani but faith mender never crossed my mind, but it should have, and I was thinking armada wurm as well.

I also had golgar charm for rest In peace and a mild wrath for early game, and possibly 1-2 entreats in case I go against a mirror or another midrange

Idk about entreat but {golgari charm} is a great addition. {Witchbane orb} could save you from {rakdos's return} and {slaughter games} as well as any burn. {Selesnya charm} and serve as high end removal, early stall or aggro, and late game push for damage. {Centaur Healer}s can lower your curve and help with life (many times over with resto and serenity angels). {Acidic Slime} or {Sundering Growth} could be could considerations. I am also a huge fan of {Bloodgift Demon} as a mid range killer.

Edit: one of  {Underworld Connections}?

I had a slime in mind, and possibly nevermore as well, a lot of considerations

Sideboard updated, may tweak still, not too definite on the nevermore or the second sever.
Maybe an ultimate price or two for hellkite or angels or any big mono colored bombs.
