Probably my last pre-rotation deck. This is my farewell to Innistrad block.

So, the whole point of this deck is to populate the crap out of ETB effect creatures once you Seance them. Faithless Lootings get you a nice supply of creatures in your graveyard, and populating the tokens Seance produces gives you a permanent copy. Parallel Lives not only increases the number of Trostani's Summoners you seance, but doubles each of the tokens they produce as well. And you get to keep those.

I've had two copies of Parallel Lives and one Seance on the field before when I seance-ed Trostani's Summoner. Sure, the 1/1 summoners are sacrificed at the end step, but I got to keep sixteen of each type of token it produces. This is when your opponent usually hits you with Supreme Verdict, but you didn't spend any mana to put those tokens out. It's was seance's effect. So just slap down one of your three Rootborn Defenses, and that's game.

This trick is silly with any of the ETB creatures Acidic Slime for insane land destruction, Thragtusk for insane life gain, or even Avacyn's Pilgrim for insane mana ramp.

Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is another method of populating these tokens, and Spark Trooper is great for a 12 life swing. And you can use each of them twice because of seance, even if they aren't populated. Of course, they die even if they are populated, but since they have haste, they still swing for a ton that turn.

Despite how ridiculous it looks, I'm pretty sure it's at least fringe viable in a competitive setting, and I'm totally up for suggestions on how to improve it, especially sideboard suggestions.
