FIRJA & LOATHING IN THE MULTIVERSE

A little backstory on this deck- it began as a beloved Liliana, Heretical Healer  control deck. My playgroup is generally open-minded and tolerant of most strategies, but it was quite an oppressive deck and I was rightfully hated out of games fairly quickly, whether I was performing well or not. It temporarily evolved into a Tergrid, God of Fright  deck, which I played digitally before release. It was my attempt at leaning heavily into being the villain, but that got old very fast.

Then during a Kaldheim draft, I pulled Firja, Judge of Valor and instantly fell in love with the showcase art and the idea of building a sort of orzhov spellslinger/second spell themed deck. I didn't do great in the draft, but I took apart my nasty mono-black deck, gathered up a bunch of the cards from it, and built this...

The deck's primary focus is card selection and graveyard recursion. Ideally we don't want to be casting the creatures at the top end of our curve, bringing them back from the graveyard instead so keeping a hand with one of them in it is a bad idea. Our main reanimation targets, however, are Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Gray Merchant of Asphodel , which is part of a combo with Karmic Guide and Reveillark + a sac outlet.

The double spell subtheme remains and the cheaper the spell, the more we can cast on each turn, the better our overall card advantage. It also focuses more on our own things than theft and hand disruption, so less feels bads for our opponents.

Suggestions are always welcome if you're so inclined, keeping in mind my decks are never built to be competitive.

Resplendent Marshal out, Renegade Reaper in - both interact with the graveyard but in drastically different ways. I like Resplendent Marshal but ultimately I felt it wasn't likely to provide much benefit, whereas the Renegade Reaper has the potential to gain us life (which could matter, who knows?) but mainly helps fill the graveyard upon entry rather than exile it for a few counters.

Seraph of the Scales out, Angel of Finality in - Angel of Finality is great graveyard hate, something we could always use more of. Seraph seems more of a goodstuff include.
