I'd ditch {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite} and {Inquisition of Kozilek} for 4 {Thoughtseize}.

Also, you need basic lands, so I'd ditch the checklands

[DylanW18]

Yeah was iffy on Elesh. And I think Inquisitions better for fast modern, but can you tell me why Thoughtseize?

[abstractApathist]

{Thoughtseize} is generally better because tron and {Birthing pod} decks are out there, and being able to strip a {splinter twin} is also pretty nice.

[DylanW18]

Yeah... Maybe Inquisition in SB against faster decks to replace Thoughtsieze?

[abstractApathist]

It just hit me: this deck needs some bobs. Since you're running a curve that tops out a 3, he could be really nice.

About IoK, I agree with running a few in the side so you don't kill yourself against zoo, and you find yourself siding it in with {Thoughtseize} to really wreck combo.

[DylanW18]

Oh Bobs.... What to take out...?

[DylanW18]

Drop the Dismembers and 1 Sphinx's rev for 3 Bob? Or are the dismembers really good?

That sounds about right, although you'll probably want to keep the {Dismember}s in the side for combo matchups. So far this is probably what the sideboard should look like:
3 {Inquisition of Kozilek}
2 {Dismember}
3 {Torpor Orb}
3 {Rest in Peace}

I think id rather {Tormod's Crypt} over rest in peace... I need flashbacks and stuff

[DylanW18]

How about 4x {Extirpate} (or {Surgical Extraction}, whichever is better) vs. Combo? Or no?

[abstractApathist]

How about 4x {Extirpate} (or {Surgical Extraction}, whichever is better) vs. Combo? Or no?

While those work vs. Melira-Pod, they don't do much vs. Living End, which is what I think you need {Rest in Peace} for. Maybe you could run {Ethersworn Canonist} to deal with living end.

So how viable do you think this while deck is honestly? It's had really good hands that win, and sometimes the hands are meh

[DylanW18]

Took out Bobs, they killed me a lot

Took out Sphinx's Revelation, never really worked

Currently +2 {Brimaz, King of Oreskos} and +3 {Dismember}. I still want some lifegain though because fast decks wreck me

[DeathlyFoiend]

Cryptic Command. Don't say you're playing control until you play 2 or more of these.
