Lol very true, that would be hilarious to do if I had {Archon of Justice} in the mimic vat.

You'd have to sac the archon for that to work because vat exiles at the the end step.

[Gorzo]

Yeah, I meant if I were sac'ing things to Ghost Council

[ApexPredator]

Ok lol.  {Kokusho, the Evening Star} is pretty sick when you do that. My buddy runs ghost council and just wastes me with that combo

Oh man, I forgot about Kokusho somehow! He fits in my deck perfectly! And his price is dropping to a reasonable amount in modern masters. I may have to find one and trade for it. So if I were to cut two cards to add it and the Kitsune...which would I have to cut? Hmmmm

[ApexPredator]

I would say
- {Deathpact Angel}
- {Tidehollow Sculler}

+ {Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant}
+  {Kokusho, the Evening Star}

[Gorzo]

I would say
- {Deathpact Angel}
- {Tidehollow Sculler}

+ {Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant}
+  {Kokusho, the Evening Star}

Why those two, if I may ask? Just curious for your opinion. I really don't want to cut those guys (a 5/5 flyer that returns from board wipes and a hand-revealer / trick-nabber) but that doesn't mean they are bad choices - there no cards left I wouldn't want to keep, so hearing why you think they don't make the cut would be very helpful

The angel is awesome for board wipes but besides that I really don't feel she brings much else to this deck. And tide hollow as the disadvantage of dying and the card you exiled returning to their owners hand. Sin collector is much better IMO and can be abused with bounce effects while keeping the cards exiled.

Those are valid points. I need to accept the fact that any cut I make at this point is going to be painful. I need to just rip off the band-aid, so to speak, and get it over with, but I can't bring myself to do it maybe if I sample-draw the crap out of it I'll be able to notice a card that idles in my hand more often than others.

Sample draws and play testing are some if the best ways. I won't let myself go over the 100 cards no matter what lol. So hard to cut stuff that i may cry if I have to cut that much at once

[That_Guy]

Ok so i thought id repay the favour of you helping me so i googled up some similar decks, some cards i found are:
{Deathbringer Liege}
{Purity}
{Unburial Rites}
{Unmake}
Sorry if you already have some of these or if these arent good enough to make the cut 😁

[Gorzo]

Unmake would be nice. Exiling with no strings attached is always nice. Purity would make for a really good "sideboard" card too. My playgroup doesn't use too much direct burn, but I do want a copy of purity close by in case such a deck shows up

I did end up cutting Tidehollow for Kitsume Ascendant after some playtests. And I traded for a lovely be Kokusho on Friday! So I do have decide what to cut for her. I also managed to get my hands on a revised edition {Swords to Plowshares}, which might be replacing {Path to Exile}.

Bump for Spikepit!

In addition, an obvious Theros update:

- {Otherworld Journey}

+ {Whip of Erebos}
