This is my first deck, it's been tweaked a couple of times already.

For the past few months I've been playing EDH around the kitchen table once a week with a 'less competitive, less spikey' and more enjoyment based casual group. The meta is more into cool card interactions than finely tuned crushing machines but the folks definitely are playing to win.

Up until this I'd just been using a preconstructed deck but everyone else builds their own so I thought I'd give it a try.

Essentially, I'm working Ayli's sacrifice abilities Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim + Serra Avatar , Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim + Wurmcoil Engine , or the unholy spawn of Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim + Phyrexian Processor to pump my life up - with decent access to graveyard recursion via Oversold Cemetery, Dawn of the Dead , Nim Deathmantle, Gift of Immortality in order to keep that engine rolling. Lifegain interacts throughout the rest of the deck, there are a couple of combo win conditions that I can use based on Vizkopa Guildmage, Sanguine Bond, Aetherflux Reservoir... I also seem to get good late board control with either Dread Cacodemon and/or Pestilence Demon fetched up.

I've played it a few times and it's fun so far, but any advice is kindly appreciated.

Thanks!
