Not your standard Standard. :)

Quick break down. I'll get to a detail of this later.

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse + Overlord of the Floodpits = + 1 Card, +4 Life.

Currently I'm contemplating swapping Day of Judgment for Temporary Lockdown. Only reason I may not is the deck handles the beginning of the game well enough for the most part.

Update [2025 03 01] Fixed the mana base. Removed Deduce for Stock Up. Figured digging for answers/threats was better than just a 2 for 1 for 4 mana. Even at sorcery speed the card is leaps better.

So far the deck is preforming well. It turns very quickly from control to deploying threat after threat that requires an answer. It's been a blast so far (Playing Arena BO1).
