[Kaleo42]

Revisiting our esper aristocrats idea (otherwise known as Roach) and am very impressed by {village bell-ringer} as an enabler for {skirsdag high priest} as well as very relevant blocker that this archetype generally lacks. {Deputy of aquitals} just adds to the silliness with untap triggers and instant speed dudes. Sideboard takes a more aggressive approach that I anticipate will sneak in lots of early damage regardless of their sideboard picks.

[Coffee Vampire]

I think that {Lifebane Zombie} may be a better mainboard option than {Sin Collector}, because there are just so many more green and/or white creatures in standard that are relevant than there are instants or sorceries.

Also, against control I could see siding in {Geist of Saint Traft} for your {Village Bell-Ringer}s. Geist is extremely aggressive, and provides an additional creature that you can sacrifice before your end step every turn, which enables high priest also.

[Kaleo42]

Lifebane is not a human. Every nonhuman I use weakens the synergy. Besides there are often more green creatures or white creature, but none that I am super concerned with. {Sphinx's revelation}, wrath effects (without {blood artist), {unburial rights}, {battle hymn}, and a few others are much more problematic when they hit play. As for traft I dont have any available right now, but what would you replace for them in the side. Despite being not human it is an amazing clock.

[JordanCirk]

For Geist, shouldn't you just have cavern mainboarded since you already have alot of humans, also I'd take out 1 Thalia for another Geist.

-1 cavern (mainboard it instead)
-1 Thalia
+2 Geist

Love the deck idea, going to play test it and see how it does.

[Kaleo42]

I dont really need the cavern in very many matchups. The moorland is vey helpful and I want to see one nearly every game. The cavern is to increase my land count or go more agressive on the human aggro.
