jarad's order has some great synergy with Loyal Retainers to tutor out legendaries for 3 mana. Life/Death might be a better version of exhume. you probably get this a lot but Entomb ? also Sheoldred, Whispering One or Akroma, Angel of Wrath both are great for the deck. maybe cut baneslayer? thats the best I got

I don't think that Magister of Worth is good enough for the deck. Sure, people get to vote which is fun and stuff but it will come back to bite you as much as it will pay off.

Also, I feel like the vivids, guildgates and bounce lands are not worth it. Sure, you might get a bit of extra mana (total) from the bounces but they dont ramp and you're running 38 lands already. I would recommend ditching the following:

Golgari Guildgate , Golgari RotFarm, New Benalia , Orzhov Basilica , Orzhov Guildgate , Selesnya Sanctuary , Vivid Grove , Vivid Meadow

for:

Isolated Chapel , Godless Shrine , Overgrown Tomb , Temple Garden , Fetid Heath , Twilight Mire , Wooded Bastion and A utility Land (Volrath's Stronghold , High Market , Rogue's Passage , Phyrexian Tower - one of those, I know some are already on your to get list). This will also mean you can look into things like Nature's Lore , Three Visits and Skyshroud Claim - one of the best ramps spells in the game if you ask me.

Hope this helps :D

All good. The land base for a tri-coloured deck is one of the most important things to get right. Unfortunately lands are one of the more cost intesive things in the game, but luckily you already have your ABU duals so that will help a lot. Another card you MIGHT consider looking into (and this will need a lot of thorough testing to see it its worth it) is Boseiju, Who Shelters All . It will let you get all of those field wipes off without having to worry about pesky counterspells.

Another card that comes to mind that is defiantely worth running is Knight of the Reliquary . She makes land fixing awesome, and with so many good utility lands, she is just broken.

so enpc I tried using Homeward Path and High Market and I found that the later was FAR desirable over its counterpart. Homeward Path returns the creatures you steal with Teneb, the Harvester to their owners control. Not even the graveyard. High Market has been wonderful in every scenario I've needed it so no complaints there- it stays.

As for Knight of the Reliquary , I only own one and it is in my Tolsimir Wolfblood EDH deck. Its such a fantastic card and I'll have to pick up another for this deck.

Homeward Path is a niche card that is for "after-the-fact" creature stealing. For your deck, 99% of the time you wont use it's ability as you're the theif :P however for those 1% when a vorinclex has been Bribery 'd from your deck it is awesome. Its a card that involves weighing up the pros/cons. The cool thing with both Homeward Path and High Market together is that you can sac a creature you stole, get your thing back and then reanimate their creature again. But yeah, if you find its not worth the space then swap it for something better and if you find you need it lots again, its easy to sub back in as you have it.

Entomb ?

I want Entomb but it's a little pricey. It's on the eventual buy list though. Thanks for the feedback!
