Will most likely take out Lotleth but I will be adding Kiorna the new planeswalker from the next set and probably take out vraska

Have you thought about {Reaper of the wilds} that card can do some serious work

That deathtouch and a 4/5 blocker would be pretty sweet in this deck

That's a large amount of creatures for a control deck. I would think about replacing the {nightveil specter} with the above mentioned {reaper of the wilds}. Also look at adding some counter spells to the deck, and maybe 1-2 {Ashiok nightmare weaver} if your meta is creature heavy.

Maybe I named it wrong but the purpose of this deck is to stall in a controlling manner long enough to pump out a mean hydra. In essence Nightveil kinda does what ashiok does and I'd rather have four of him because you can actually have more than one of him at a time out rather than ashioks one at a time
