Defense of the Heart combo, pulling out either infinite hasted dudes, or a hasty Emrakul, or locking the opponent out of casting spells. Almost certainly a tier 2 or 3 deck, but original, so not gonna draw meta-hate. Still in development, and the last proper mainboard update happened years ago, so I'm looking for suggestions on what to change. In all honesty, Sneak and Show probably does what this deck wants to better in general, but against certain decks, this will perform better. I see Liliana has fallen out of the meta, so I think she probably needs replacing, but I'm not sure with what. The single Lotus Petal and Ancient Tomb are for testing purposes (still unsure about them). The Grindstone is a simple inclusion in a deck that runs Painter's Servant and artifact tutors. The Massacre Wurm (plus a Kiki-Jiki copy if I get it from DotH) can sometimes win me the game when my opponent is sitting on a bunch of creatures. In my limited playtesting, I've found the hand hate and creature removal to be pretty effective at giving the deck the time it needs to survive. My sideboard is complete theoretical nonsense currently.
