Would you mind giving me suggestions on my deck? I'm not sure what to add or remove?

Consider replacing Liliana Vess with Liliana, Heretical Healer Flip when in multiplayer settings.
Now, i know it probably won't be good, but Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger would be so annoying in this deck, and funny. Come on, you know you want to....
Have you tried running Spore Frog??

I'm personally a fan of Defiant Necromancer, but Liliana Vess is unquestionably MUCH better in EDH. Nobody really cares at all about her +1 or her ult; she's good because she's five mana for, potentially, at least two opportunities to tutor, with more should she somehow survive long enough.

Why Savra when you could use "strictly" better commanders like Meren or Jarad, even Karador (If you want to add white).
When I say strictly I don't mean these commanders are better, I just find Savra slightly underwhelming...Also you want both Mikaeus and Sheoldred.

EnderPlaysCompetitiveMTG yeah why would anyone choose not to play only the best commanders.
My guess: Savra is fun to play and use as theme for the deck. And she is certainly not underwhelming with her table-sweeping ability at just 4 mana. Jarad's ability is pricy and he only grows strong when you manage to have filled your graveyard. Same counts for Karador. Meren is fun and strong, but also requires conditions to work. I have played many Meren-games (and won) without being able to bring her out because a. she would be killed instantly, b. no fitting creatures in the graveyard, c. no sac-outlet in play.

doctorhydrogen we're sidestepping here -but who cares, I don't think Seredin comes here very often ;)-. Part of competitive EDH-play is the not drawing an -I'm scary hit me- sign on yourself. My friend plays a Mizzix-deck and wins everytime, because he's not a thread and just duddling around. And then suddenly blasts the table. Savra at least has a chance of not drawing too much attention. Until her friends hit te table at least.

Well, that depends what kind of tournament. EDH-tournaments I have seen, you get points for winning, but also point from other players for fun and original play. So Narset might win the game in 5, but probably get 0 point for gameplay since missing the point completely on the idea of EDH-format.

I think Nim Deathmantle is a must as it will help you sac and reuse different creatures

"Competitive EDH" meant something very different 5 years ago when I uploaded an already 4 or 5 year old decklist to this site than what it means today.

You should add Words of Wilding. When combined with skull clamp and asnods alter, which you already have in the deck, it can give you infinite creatures, mana, and draw all at once.

- @lukisheretic. Unfortunately that doesn't work as you can't kill the produced creature token with skull clamp so you would need (x/1) tokens on the side.

Ah but it does...The three cards are out. Ashnod, words, skullclamp
You have to have three mana. Don't draw make a 2/2. Attach skullcap to it for the 2nd mana, sac with Ashnod to make two mana and with skullcap u can draw twice. Dont. Make two bears with the two mana. Attach skullclamp with the 3rd land mentioned previously. Sac it to make 2 mana and get two draw sac the 2nd bear for 2 more mana... now you have 4 mana and two draw, make two bears for 2 mana don't draw, attach skullclanp for 1. You now have 1 mana floating and can sac 2 bears for 4 more mana and 2 more draw, total of 5 mana, use 2 for 2 bears and 1 for skull clap. You end up netting one mana per rotation. Eventually you have enough mana to make infinite bears, which leads to infinite draw... You pick. Your win condition.
Happy hunting

lukeisheretic, So now for the odds of getting all 3 cards on the table at the same time ;)

Tyr_W They're good on their own too and he already has two of the three included in the deck.

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet does everything savra wants. A sac outlet and fodder generator. The graveyard hate is a bonus.

I have a whole list of thing I would say but I think just posting my deck might do a better job of it.
I will say this much.. Mikaeus and woodfall primus. Blow up the world.. also.. Works with Puppeteer Clique. Add a sac engine and Blood Artist. You can sharp shoot everyone..
Also, you only have 9 consistent Sac engines and 6 token markers, seems kind of light in order to keep your opponent from having creatures.

Updated again. I haven't bought any new cards in ages, just trading here and there.

I actually Just made an EDH deck a lot like this without even looking up this deck. Savra Is my Commander and my deck revolves around her.
Did you ever consider Dictate Of Erebos , Torpor Orb , Mikeaus , The Unhallowed or Birthing Pod?

Have you thought about putting Izoni, Thousand-Eyed in it. She goes great with your commander, especially late game with her undergrowth ability to make a bunch of black AND green tokens, and has her own sac outlet that gains you a life and draws a card, plus the effects your commander will give, paying to life to make all opponents sacrifice a creature but then gaining the life back plus the extra from Izoni. She could bring a lot of value to your deck.

You know I just noticed this deck doesn't run that many basics. Why is that?
