Honestly. the deck is nasty as is... Kalastria Healer for infinite life steal. add Impact Tremors or Purphoros, God of the Forge for even more infinite burn. You really never need to attack, so no real need for Angelic Captain Iroas, God of Victory and the such that get infinitely big. I would add search, like Demonic Tutor Diabolic Tutor and the such so you can find your Deadeye Navigator faster and you have yourself a deck meaner than most sliver tribals.

I'd go for the full on combo approach, but this will be played in a max 75% meta, with an intense hate for combo finishes (I share this feeling, the game gets boring if it's just fetching for combo pieces).

Also we don't have almost any (2/9, one of them barely played) creature/combat phase heavy decks, so as it is now I'm in love with the balance of it. It combos off at times, but with combat alone it can finish just as fast (turn 6 average). And if I do get my stuff wiped, I've plenty of effects to try and bring a whole horde of allies back to win by the plentiful ETB triggers.

I know that the consistency of the deck would skyrocket with some tutors, but some randomness is what I want. It has that juicy bit of tutoring from our beloved Tazri, but it's nowhere near too much.
Knowing my goal for this deck, are there any things you'd change? (barring out some expensive choices, this is balancing itself on a budget)

Mass blink such as Legion's Initiative or Brago, King Eternal will do ridiculous things without comboing off.

I plan on grabbing myself a copy of Eerie Interlude, the new amazing blink spell coming in SOI. I've also thought about getting Legion's Initiative and/or Brago, King Eternal, but I'm on the fence about it. I'm guessing I'd want 2-3 blinks max, as they don't do anything if I don't have a multitude of creatures to blink.

Also on my agenda are to obtain Bring to Light (I ordered a SWEET hand painted alter), Shared Animosity, Mirari's Wake and Steely Resolve.

I added Coat of Arms, Mana Echoes, Zendikar Resurgent and Tajuru Warcaller and plan to update the list soon.

Freed from the Real? Infinite mana with Harabaz Druid, extra activations for Loremaster, Occultist, and Vanguard, although I can certainly understand not wanting a somewhat limited combo piece.

It's rather cheap, so I'll pick up a copy in the following weeks and playtest some before adding it to the deck. If I see the card before I cast General Tazri, all I have to do is find a Harabaz Druid and get to activate Tazri's ability infinitely. But, if I don't have one of the four tap-creatures around with Tazri still on the table as I draw Freed from the Real, it'll just sit around doing nothing.

It still might work, as usually I go for either Harabaz Druid, Sea Gate Loremaster or Kazuul Warlord if I'm not going for a particular strategy off of the first tutor. I can imagine drawing ~15 cards a turn with Loremaster + FmtR.

Thanks for the suggestion.
