Watched SaffronOlive play this deck https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/meme-or-dream-acererak-s-unsealing-historic and found that it very entertaining. I've wanted to build a deck that leverages the venture mechanic to some extent and I think this is a pretty interesting way to do it. Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated!

Acererak the Archlich + Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma + Sarkhan's Unsealing - This is the main combo of the deck. Venturing into the dungeons not listed on Acererak lets us recast it repeatedly. Goreclaw reduces the cost and so we can burn creatures/opponent.

Acererak the Archlich + Fatal Push - Since Acererak will always get returned to our hand it triggers revolt letting us remove larger threats on the board.

Draugr Necromancer - Had two of these and thought it would be fun to be able to use the creatures we burn away against our opponent. Also doubles as a weak creature-graveyard hate card, we can just burn things away with Sarkhan's unsealing and then leave them in exile preventing our opponents from recurring creatures.

Mogis, God of Slaughter - Big creature to proc Sarkhan's unsealing. Also useful in controlling the game by either forcing our opponent to sac a creature leaving less targets for Sarkhan's or reduces their life total and means we can kill them faster.

Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner - Card Draw and the Untap ability can come in handy.

Profane Tutor - Can help us search for key combo pieces when we need them.

Bonecrusher Giant - Good for spot removal and then the 4/3 body is good for triggering Kiora and Sarkhan.

Ghalta, Primal Hunger - Designed as a Late game finisher, play it with Sarkhan and Terror of the Peaks to deal with the board state and our opponent if need be.

Planned Upgrades

I'm trying to see if I can build this deck using some cheaper cards. I'm fortunate enough to have one-offs for certain cards but not all. Below are upgrades I will probably make over time since they benefit the deck

• 4x Llanowar Elves with 4x Ignoble Hierarch
• Plan to upgrade the land base at some point but that is definitely outside my budget right now.
