My attempt at a ghost dad deck, with a bleeder spin to it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ummmm, this may sound stupid, but what exactly is ghost dad? He sounds creepy...

Ghost dad was the best tempo deck ever created

Thanks. It seems a bit slow for tempo, though. My friend likes to play azorius tempo, and the point is to cram as much low-cmc value into a deck as possible so you can outrace your opponent through disruption. Here you seem vulnerable for the first few turns (so aggro will annihilate you) and depend on large spells not getting countered in order to win.

Why are you playing Dark Confidant with anything card that costs more than 4CMC.

because I haven't played much competitive magic. And the original ghost dad used the original ghost council, and that's 5 CMC

[Birdbrain]

It's kinda funny that you could make it insanely broken just by changing lose to gain

Anyway. If I ever get the cards to build this. I'll take out the dragon and Liliana. Thanks for the input

The highest drop is 6 so its not like its a huge difference and he has enough lifegain that the extra 2 won't matter as long has he can develop his board and doesn't lose turn 4. But I'd take out Yosei, he is too high and does too little (literally nothing against some storm decks). Although, if its not an extremely competitive deck, {Kokushu, the Evening Star} works well here.

I had added the dragon to be discarded with the shoal actually. I had never planed it to be cast

Still take 6 life from having it revealed off of the top.
