Sorry for posting second list but the name is no longer "4 color" so if a moderator wouldn't mind taking down the other list I would appreciate it.

Okay so here's what I think. I think you have two good decks here, and you're playing neither of them. I could be wrong, maybe {Chord of Calling} is enough for the {Death's Shadow} combo. But it feels like it isn't and it's taking away from Abzan {Collected Compamy} good stuffs.

What I'm saying is I think you need to pick a direction. However if this is working then it's badass and you might want to squeeze in that last {Chord of Calling}. I wouldn't know as I'm just reading the list not playing it.

I'm probably going to attempt to squeeze in that last one and remove the pulse. The thing about the shadow, it's live hive mind and Titan in bloom. There's room for both, this deck is literally picking out what you want each turn, if someone extirpates, extracts, or Rakdos charms some part of the Combo I have to try and power my way through. With things like this it's super easy, no anafenzas on the board but a varolz on battlefield and shadow in graveyard? Chord of calling crusader on your endstep. I mean there's no problem having more than one threat in a deck.

All in all the deck is running great proxy wise, and I'm loving it! Lol If for any reason I start not doing too well with it I'll just take out the shadow and crusader and go complete with the combo.

I really wanna try this now, sounds really fun. It's really awesome to have a 2 in 1 deck, and really hard to pull it off. I do really think you need that 4th {Chord of Calling}.

Chances are I will squeeze it in somewhere :)
