Forbidden Orchard and Night of Souls' Betrayal —May 2, 2018

Removed the main combo of the deck Forbidden Orchard + Night of Souls' Betrayal because most of the times I used the deck it wouldn't come online and honestly it wasn't worth using a tutor to pick one of the cards. Yes the combo would allow me to trigger Toshiro's ability any time I wanted but it's not really necessary, we are dealing with instants here, you can still leave some mana open and just use an instant to kill a creature and cascade into a series of spot removal for as long as you have mana and/or instants available, so that combo was just occupying 2 slots that could have more effective cards in it.

I actually have my own Toshiro deck that Ive been tinkering with. Cards like Black Sun's Zenith and Mutilate are useful for handling both swarms of tokens and hexproof/indestructible threats, which this deck can struggle with. Another shortcoming of this deck can be games against spell-based builds, which is where graveyard hate and other forms of disruption are especially important.

Shred Memory is also aces as a tutor that also doubles as grave hate (which doesn't even interfere with your own graveyard). Using Toshiro, you can even transmute it AND use the spell side.

I've also been messing around with Praetor's Grasp as a way to snag threats like Iona and the like before they hit the field and to grab ways to deal with problematic artifacts and enchantments. Bitter Ordeal is kind of in the same vein, but I use it as more of an alternate win con.

Sorry about the long post, but Toshiro is awesome and I've been working on my own list for quite awhile. I hope this was helpful :)

I used Sadistic Sacrament in my toshiro deck and many times It's always successful I suggest trying that out Wall of Souls, Stuffy Doll, and Phyrexian Obliterator are also good for defense

gdm1989 Thank you for your comment and suggestions. Sadistic Sacrament I might consider putting in the deck, but the other 3 don't really fit what I want to do with this deck. I don't feel the need to be so defensive with it. Altho they are nice cards for maybe other deck I might eventually do, so I will take note of them nonetheless.

You don't have a single card draw spell on you deck.Not even Phyrexian Arena, you sure it wouldn't feel a little better to draw a few cards sometimes?You can even go with instant based card draw like Dark Bargain.

PedroMarcello Yeah I was actually thinking about adding more card draw into the deck, already put Dark Bargain in there, and will also put Harvester of Souls when I buy one.

I like the way you used Toshiro in this deck, really shows off his versatility. Only thing I'd recommend (since you mentioned draw) is Necropotence because it usually draws me into gas very easily and since we both use Sangromancer, Kokusho, and Gary you could definitely nix the lifeloss.
