i feel like True Believer is very limited as a "you cant target me" provider, at least with Witchbane Orb you have hexproof being able to interact with urself for stuff (i dunno maybe doing something crazy like recurring a Diluvian Primordial into Traumatize urself?), its not attached to a 2 toughness creature and has another effect, other than Witchbane Orb i would say going with leyline

@ slowilly Witchbane Orb does not belong in my deck. It's not a creature so it doesn't have any way of coming back from my grave. What if i dredge/mill it? True Believer could be interresting, wish it was hexproof and not shroud.....

by that logic why do u use Mind's Eye instead of Regal Force , or Soul of the Harvest or anything else that isnt a creature?
the card stand by itself and you can mill it and recur with things like ewit or beacon of unrest

Soul of the Harvest does not have any initial impact on the board. Regal Force could be an option to replace Mind's Eye . The reason i use mind's eye is because it can dredge on the opponent turn. But your are right, it's not a creature...

I'd think about putting in Sepulchral Primordial for added (free) reanimation

@canterlotguardian well, yeah i guess i could add all three primordials. But they are so damn expensive to cast... I'll add them to the maybeboard and they could make an apearance enventnaly.

I see Mikaeus, but nothing with which he goes really crazy, like Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter (limitless -1/-1s to creatures), Triskelion with a sacrifice outlet (limitless damage), or a persist creature with a sacrifice outlet (Woodfall Primus is particularly cruel). Is that intentional?

@Aneximines no, unitentional. First i had Triskelavus in there but it has been cut. Triskelion is a big no, my playgroup banned infinite combo ( altough i might try to bring this one back, since it is essentialy a wrath effect using two card...). I do own a vish kal, i'll add him to the deck. And i'll look if i can get my hands on a woodfall primus too.
Also, mikaeus is generaly a good card in that deck and interract with all ETB creatures.
Thx for pointing that

@ tlk_lone_knight it does indeed....
And every graveyard removal there is. Fortunately, i built the deck with a lot of redundancy, so i can always leave key cards in the library while dumping the an equivalent in the grave. I'm also very carefull not to activate Hermit Druid if i can't close the deal

trust me i understand completely, i play against a couple of these kind of decks and they hate my Greater Auramancy + Rest in Peace to be on the field by turn 3

@ tlk_lone_knight yeah, that would be chalenging to deal with. But droping those turn 3 would probably make me change my strategy and keep low profile for a few turns, hoping to draw removal.
Waiting more turn so opponent can fill the grave with key cards is another option, but an experienced player will know his weakness and won't compromise.... Honestly i don't know when is the best time to soft lock graveyards, unless you can do it split second......
In a free-for-all it would be possible to recover in my casual meta, probably not in a cut-throat meta.... Those two cards screw my deck so much that most opponent will just leave me alone...

this is very true normally i will leave the soft locked player alone, but im also playing Gisela, Blade of Goldnight most the time im not worried about that one player whos soft locked as i one shot most players,
