really nice list youve got here. Seems pretty tight already, but if you had some room, id suggest Tainted Remedy shuts down other life gain decks on sight. Erebos doesn't hurt the opponents just shuts it down. Pairing Tainted Remedy + Beacon of Immortality is hilarious.

also along those lines Tainted Sigil youve got aetherflux reservoir already in there. you would pay 50 life, shoot someone for 50, sac the sigil, gain 100. even a well timed Exsanguinate does amazing with this.

Thanks @chubba, I like the idea of tainted remedy/beacon of immortality and will test it out to see how it goes!

Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder is a really cool card to consider since he would never produce Thrull tokens with Divine Visitation on the field and therefore never actually die from his ability.

Really sweet deck though. When Divine Visitation spoiled I drafted a Ghave list around the card and you've inspired me to go back to it. +1

I love Oloro! I also play the life gain route, just not so much focus on tokens and more focus on taxing. I suggest Storm Herd, Martial Coup and Sorin, Grim Nemesis that seems to be in theme with your shenanigans.

bohemen86: Those are some spicy suggestions...Storm Herd sounds disgusting in this deck. Will definitely find space to test them out!

Nice list! Looking at it has made me want to revisit my own Krav & Regna list. One thing is confusing me though. How does the Mentor of the Meek + Ophiomancer + mana producing altar draw you a card for free every end step if Ophiomancer only makes the snake on each upkeep. Did you mean that on the upkeep, in response to the Mentor trigger you sac the snake token for mana and then draw the card? Just wanted to know if I'm missing something because I'd love to draw for free on each end-step and keep the snake token around for the turn in case of being attacked.

imSandstorm: Good catch, I've corrected it. It turned out that you have to pay to draw at each upkeep afterall. But it will be essentially free with Pitiless Plunderer in play and a free sac outlet.

Gotcha. Have you gotten to test Kalitas yet? I've always wanted to try him out in my list. Might just order him since he seems so useful on paper. Also have you considered Curse of Disturbance? I've had some success with it by getting the table to attack another player with a faster deck early while setting me up to just cast Krav and get immediate value off the free tokens.

imSandstorm: I haven't gotten to test Kalitas yet but the reason for inclusion is purely due to having a few graveyard-centric decks in my meta. Over the weekend I had to play around a Meren deck and that almost wrecked my board if not for a timely boardwipe (having Kalitas out would have stalled his shenanigans for a couple of turns). Curse of Disturbance is interesting, I think it's worth testing it in this list. The only caveat is that it hinges on an aggro-centric meta to make full use of it. My meta is a hit and miss with aggro...in some games we have just control players that does not use the combat step so I will essentially only net 1 zombie a round which is kinda anemic.

What's your plan with the new Teysa Karlov. Is she going to be the new head of your deck or slotted into your 99 for value?

Kaizer_Marano: She'll be in the 98. She's actually better as a support than a commander.
