Thanks for Checking out my deck!

The goal of my Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim EDH deck is to use a combination of creatures, and creature tokens, to fuel card draw, creature/permanent destruction, and other advantages.

Early game, I use some basic mana rocks to speed things up, like Mind Stone, Thought Vessel, Orzhov Signet, Worn Powerstone, Coldsteel Heart, and also a Land Tax. I avoid using Sol Ring since I usually play Duel Commander.

I boost my creature population with cards like Sengir Autocrat, Cloudgoat Ranger , Marsh Flitter, Ophiomancer , Angel of Invention, Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder. I also have a few creatures that can bring themselves back, like Nether Traitor, and Reassembling Skeleton. There is some synergy when they come into play with Soul Warden, Mentor of the Meek and Cathars' Crusade. Soul Warden is to help Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim second ability kick off.

Then I feed the tokens to sac filters like Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Ghoul, Thoughtpicker Witch, Viscera Seer, High Market, Hell's Caretaker, and a few others.

The sacrificing is mostly used in combination with cards like Dictate of Erebos, Martyr's Bond, and Grave Pact, to force my opponent to sacrifice their creatures. To establish card advantage, I use Smothering Abomination, Dark Prophecy, Grim Haruspex, and Skullclamp. There are other cards with synergy here, like Blood Artist, and Bitter Ordeal. I keep my stock of creatures to sacrifice fresh with Sifter of Skulls, Pawn of Ulamog . I also bring creatures back from the graveyard so I can re-saccrifice them and their tokens, with cards like Beacon of Unrest, Reveillark, Karmic Guide,Hell's Caretaker, Phyrexian Reclamation, Athreos, God of Passage, and Sheoldred, Whispering One.

For the end game, I either use creatures like Grave Titan, Sheoldred, Whispering One, or Sun Titan for damage - or an army of giant creature tokens made by Cathars' Crusade.

I have switched commanders a few times with this deck, and haven't had a chance to try Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim yet. I don't know yet how often I'll be in a position to use her second ability. All helpful comments welcome! If you suggest a card to add, I'd really appreciate it if you suggest a card to remove. I am having a hard time taking anything out of this deck.

Update: Switched Secluded Steppe for Arcane Lighthouse , and Phyrexian Arena for Necropotence

4/16/17 Update:

I got to play test it this weekend, and I had trouble more against aggressive decks. I didn't have time to get my combos running. I took out Hell's Caretaker, Athreos, God of Passage, Grim Haruspex, and Pawn of Ulamog . Early mana rocks help a ton, so I added Fellwar Stone . Early removal could have saved me on a few occasions, so I added Vindicate and Mortify. Lastly, I added another tutor, Beseech the Queen.
