Does Underworld Coinsmith work for you? The life gain doesn't seem like it'd be useful in this deck, and best case scenario, you'll never want to be using the ability, since you could play something much more impactful.

Underworld Coinsmith allows me to have a mana sink so I don't need to overextend in some instances. I also have a lot of enchantment creatures and gaining 1 life at a time is somewhat significant when I am taking life to play the pain lands, fetch lands, Read the Bones and Thoughtseize .

Sorry, not playing the fetch lands (no B/W), I meant the Mana Confluence as well.

Well since you pretty much have only enchantment creatures... Extinguish All Hope ? I mean it's a one sided boardwipe! Worth a shot in the list instead of Return to the Ranks in my opinion. Let me know what you think?

@Kingzerker, that would definitely be a great sideboard card for me, thanks!

Spear of Heliod or Master of the Feast ???
MoF synergies with Spirit of the Labyrinth very well.

Actually Spirit of the Labyrinth
doesn't really synergies with MoF, as MoF makes your opponent draw on your turn, not theirs.
Anyways i really like this brew! +1

I would say run 4 Soldier of the Pantheon as a defalut with anything white in it because he helps protect against early game multis and late game mutlies like Fleecemane Lion , Xenagos, God of Revels , ect. Plus get one life off of him when ever a multi palyed. Also what about replacing Read the Bones With Gods Willing ? get protection, scray, damage to oppents creatures, and life off of anything of your that has life gain. Not a bad deck though.
@Blisterdark I used to play Spirit of the Labyrinth
in anything that had white in it and it worked pretty well in slowing down my opponets deck but the only problem with that card is it also slows down your deck as well so you have to make sure you play the right card or else you kinda shoot yoursel fin the foot on your turn.

@Lriley777 It works great with Drana, Liberator of Malakir !

@cutthroat_x After I continue some playtesting online, I;ll add in the OGW cards.
Definitely looks to be a keeper!

Foul to guess shriek seems cute but I like it. I might adapt this XD

@OtoriShadow May seem cute, but it is my most frequent finisher. Abzan is the only archetype the current deck setup has trouble with. It's eaten dark jeskai, rally, and Atarka red every match.

I like the inclusion of Brutal Hordechief. I have always liked that card and am super stoked you found a home for it in your list. +1 Keep up the good work.

Seems great, but one problem. You're only allowed 15 cards in a sideboard.
January 31, 2016 2:58 p.m.
@Sirius20001 Thank you for catching that. Tappedout didn't recognize a minus sign on the 2nd Kalitas.
January 31, 2016 3:14 p.m.
The deck worked well for me during game day I went 4-5 it had some trouble with the jeski deck and an eldrozi agro deck and abzan but the changes I made was I removed the kytheos and one drana and add a second cliffhaven and emasary and added a murdereous cut and righteous path.

Hello Moomookittie here just curious how you guys think my deck Noyan Dar, land for the win! will do against this.

I would for sure use spirit Bonds. It gives you a great way to get card advantage and works wonders with Sorin.
