Trying to play with cheap amonketh :)

Still not sure about the cycling playstyle with Archfiend of Ifnir (waiting for new big creature with new expansion). I added Keys To The City in order to maximize the cycling/drawing cards. This combo is perfect if there's Hapatra into the battlefield, because he can attack directly the opponent and put even more -1/-1 counters.

SIDEBOARD: Cycling cards who can be useful agains some decks.

MAYBEBOARD: 2x Baleful Ammit and 2x Crocodile of the Crossing, in order to make the deck faster. Liliana for more control. She can replace Archfiend of Ifnir and the cycling technique of the deck.

There's Tree of perdition. U can put -1/-1 counters on it. Then use its ability in order to low your opponent's life. It's a pretty idea, but I haven't tried it yet.
