Update: added necrogen spellbomb buried ruin combo to softlock lategame topdeck and to trigger dredge. Added 3 grisly salvage for consistency and a tasigur. Thoughts?

Recent 8 rack suggestion focused on getting additional value out of life from the loam by recuring manlands and utility lands and fueling retrace.

Loam and ghost quarter give us preboard game against tron and and affinity. Burn matchup is still rough. Any comments or ideas (espescially concerning matchups and sb) are very welcome.

At some point I would like to upgrade with liliana and fetches.

Considering hissing quagmire and sea gate wreakage their interaction with loam. Possibly corpse churn main and pulse of murasa sb.
