I love this concept and I'm determined to make it work. All suggestions encouraged.

I've recently tested the idea in real-life play and I didn't get the 'wow-za' results I was hoping for...but I think that with the right combos it can be deadly and potentially tournament worthy.

I have a lot of cards here that I think are undervalued, cheap but crucial to the success of this deck.

Profaner of the Dead was a card I had success with in controlling the board. The sacrifice of a creature clears the board and also destroys tokens in the process. If you're waiting for Assault Formation to show up, this guy is a huge help. Even if Assault Formation is up, he basically clears the board and you can swing away.

Commune with the Gods is a card I'm going to use to draw for anything I feel I need in any given situation. With that being said, I want to combo it with Treasure Cruise. But Treasure Cruise may also not be as useful as Foul Renewal could be. Initally, Commune with the Gods left a bad taste in my mouth but the Foul Renewal could be the card to not only kill a very powerful creature, but bring back a finishing card you had to discard.

Sultai Charm has 4 because of the obvious: it has a lot of choices. If I need to draw, kill something or destroy something, it is there. I can't think of anything else to take it's place.

The rest is pretty self explanitory. I want to maybe replace Torrent Elemental for something a bit better and I'm considering Prognostic Sphinx for that role. Potentiall even Scourge of the Skola Vale
