Really liking this. I'm building a similar deck myself, this gave me some good ideas.

Cut Safehold Elite for more lands. I also don't like Mana Confluence. They should be more fetch lands. I found in play testing that you often get mana screwed due to not enough lands. BoP can be removed and shouldn't be counted as such. Safehold Elite is a win more card in this deck and isn't necessary for your overall strategy.

So basically what this is, is a splinter twin deck that takes even less time than splinter twin.

I would play a couple Gavony Township so that if all else fails, you can still go for the beat down plan if your combo gets stopped

I don't really like Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip in this build. She doesn't really get you towards your combo(s), or save your boardstate if you're behind. Seems like those 2 slots could be used for something else (disruption). Am I missing something? +1'd of course, sweet deck.

Gavony Township in the main is a must. I cannot reccomend it enough. I personally own this deck, and I cannot say just how many times it has saved my ass. Also: Zulaport Cutthroat over Blood Artist. Reason: It gets around Leyline of Sanctity.

telepathyoverdrive Liliana is used to disrupt control, stabilize, and get back "Silver Bullets" (Qasali Pridemage, Scavenging Ooze, etc.) She's kind of a must.

Phyrexian Unlife Is very good with melira because you can't die from damage.

I know you have an intended alternate strategy of overruning the board, but with so many blood artists and viscera seer as early game drops isn't Eldritch Evolution a good option for a strong tutor for key creatures in the combo, futhermore you could sacrifice voice of resurgence for the token (if it is wise in the matchup) and get out a murderous redcap/ other needed piece for a combo, also the deck is pretty cheap so most things can be found off two or 1 drops. I know i've said alot but are there any budget options, such as cheaper removal and control, I am keen to build the deck but I don't want to spend too much immediately, maybe cheaper manabase options you could propose, and good control options ( Luckily I have 3 voice of resurgance so thats no worry )

Dawndragon88 Eldritch Evo may be quite good, but I still like Chord better because it's an instant. Also, what if you can't afford to sacrifice a creature to get your last combo piece?

Love it. Easily one of my favorite decks in the format and maybe the whole game.

Are you still playing this deck? How would you update it if you wanted to play Renegade Rallier? It looks like a ton of fun so I think I'm going to trade into this. I feel like it gains a lot with the addition of Rallier.

Nice design, I like what you're trying to do with the deck. If you have a chance check out my version of persist. It utilizes some of the newer cards and makes it very reliable turn 3-4 deck constantly and abuses the persistmechanic fully.
