Isn't Timely Reinforcements a SB card? {Lingering Souls} is a better card.

Plus, {mana leak} over dissipate and {doom blade} over murder. Yes they rotate in 2 months but no reason not to play a couple commons that are clearly better.

AND, about the creature selection...I think you want some ETB effects seeing as if you pull a creature from the GY they can answer...Gisela is an excellent card, but a lot of people realize that flaw...she doesn't really make a huge board impact especially in this kind of deck.  She benefits from having other cards support her. {Grave Titan} is a good example of a Solar Flare fatty...{Flayer of Hatebound}? I think it's called is a pretty good reanimator card too since he deals damage right away and helps your other guys do the same.

No I understand. I took your advice and changed it bc they are better decisions. 😉

Thanks!

Can you imagine gisela and flayer combo? Dead real quick lol

Should I maybe do this?...

-1 {Chancellor of the Dross}
+1 {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight}

[Willthomjr]

If you run gisela, I'd run 2. Dross is ok but 3 life is negligible

[Ghebert]

Starting out with 3 extra life with this deck would be pretty good for this deck since I'm not really getting anything out until turn 4-5

[Willthomjr]

Maybe that's a problem yøū need to address then.

I have counters and the lingering souls now. So dross might not need two spots. But atleast one. I like him and even if I don't get him in my opening hand. He's still a 6/6 flying lifelinker.
