Upgraded Braids deck. Made purely because of my love to the Braids. (That's why i run Braids, Cabal Minion there too, you may replace it by anything you wish, ex. Guul Draz Assassin )
Has many, many synergies. Ayara, First of Locthwain
+
Bitterblossom
+ Braids, Arisen Nightmare
+
Mirror Box
.. Basically any combination with the removed legend rule and Bitterblossom (Or budget Dreadhorde Invasion)
Also a small combo of Braids, Arisen Nightmare
+
Dakmor Salvage
Which forces opponents to sacrifice a land or make them lose a life and you can instantly get the Dakmore back. Might work best with two Darkmors on a board, which let's you play a land at the end step and at the beginning of your next turn you can play the second one and repeat the process every second turn. Or sacrifice creatures from Bitterblossom.
This is where i see a small value of Braids, Cabal Minion as she forces the sacrifice of something on the opponents board and you can fuel her with tokens from Bitterblossom.
You also have pretty much stable way to retrieve and play expensive minions from opponents / your own graveyard straight onto the board by Animate Dead or Liliana, Heretical Healer
transformed.
Languish Is a stable in my deck since I sadly have to deal with many aggro decks, but can be replaced by any removal of your wish. Perhaps a Cut Down / Go for the Throat etc..
Dauthi Voidwalker May seem like a bad choice since it removes ability to play Animate Dead on any opponent graveyard but always remember it's a magnet to removals and serves as unblockable 3/2 and also let's you play anything exiled without paying for the mana.
Eradicator Valkyrie is just a great flyer with lifelink and protection from annoying planeswalkers.
Braids, Arisen Nightmare, Castle Locthwain, Ayara, First of Locthwain serves as a decent card draw engines which also hurts opponents in a decent way.
Takenuma, Abandoned Mire is not necessary to run at all, same as Cabal Stronghold. I have Takenuma only as a small failsafe and Cabal because i had one spare :D
Tragic Slip and Eradicator Valkyrie with Languish are enough to have as a removals.
Hard to not mention the power that Mirror Box yields to Ayara, First of Locthwain and Braids, Arisen Nightmare.
To protect yourself against milling yourself or by any blue deck I suggest having Cranial Archive on the sideboard!
I'm open to all suggestions and changes, but this deck has more than 100 games with Dreadhorde Invasion instead of Bitterblossom and Guul Draz Assassin replaced by Braids, Arisen Nightmare which i feel is just a change to the better, and it worked super well even before.
