Notes:
Got bored. Probably needs work, not much conscience to draw outside of sign in blood.

Underworld connections. It's a bit mana specific but a GREAT way to keep cards in your hand.

Updated.

Wanna test it out on cockatrice before I think about building it though.

Debating on skullcrack for Thragtusk and sphinxs and any form of life gain.

I gave you a great suggestion, and you didn't even acknowledge it. You really think people are gonna come running to give you more? Lmao

Mothaelon

I actually tried incorporating UC, but I found a better solution. I trimmed down the overall CMC of the deck and I added staff of nin for constant draw and dark realms for fetching to my 5-6 lands to set so I can play anything in my deck.

It came down to either adding in UC and filling up more of my 3 mana slot (I do include my sideboard when I configure CMC also) or reworking my whole deck to fit it in.

I've also been twiddling my thumbs around faithless looting just for digging answers.

Honestly I am not sure why there isn't more extort here. With such low cmc it seems bonkers to me. Maybe include blind obedience in the main and some value extort guys which can chump for you. Maybe the 1/4 guy. Being as midrangy as this looks I feel like  {Blind Obedience} at very least is good here

Agrajagzz9

Also deck has no valuable targets for resto angel on curve maybe also consider  {Boros Reckoner} over nighthawk because it gets value out of opponents tryin to burn it out. If I were you I would go with a jundish feel with reckoner  {Olivia Voldaren} and  {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} it seems better

Agrajagzz9

I posted my list to show what I mean. The decks are similar but I feel like my version might be altitude more versitile

It's under Kaalia aggro

Wsuryanjeska

I agree that you should mainboard Blind, and yeah Olivia or sorin should definitely be replacing the resto angels that have so few targets.

Mothaelon

I wanted sorin, he was another card I thought hard about. And reckoner too. And I had nighthawks simply for life gain. I find this Deck loses to early burn/aggro sometimes. So I wanted to have a decent early game life gain presence. I'll look into extort as well. Reckoner can be better in some circumstances as well, I agree.

You need some instant removal.
