Mikaeus the unhallowed works well with Vish if he's your general. You can kill all the creatures your opponents control (Sacing vish to himself and using the undying counter for his second ability) and if you have a token generator (ogre slumlord, pawn of ulamog, requiem angel) you have infinite creatures you can devour the next turn to 21 general damage another player or just outright kill them with aggro. Also you can just kill them on the spot if you have blood artist or falkenrath noble in play.
Giving undying to your creatures is really great if you keep the non-human count up.
Also, try Nim Deathmantle. It's that good. Cathar's Crusade is really nice in a deck like that too, your creatures get big FAST.
vizkopa confessor seems bad one are from one person bad body you have to pay life
darkest hour seems bad without teysa 1.0 at the head
blind zealot seems really small in edh you lose one card someone else loses 1 card and the other two player gain card advantage on you and whoever you hit with blind zealot
weathered wayfarer is sweet with Urborg and coffers at least it has been for me even when coffers or Urborg are gone land drops every turn are good
@Cornebus: I'm looking for a Mikaeus. I might try Cathar's Crusade.
@Mik1994: I put in cards that I have that I don't have any other use for. Norn was only a "win more" card in the build. The Planar Guide is in here for protection against board bounce cards. The confessor is more powerful then you think.
I'm looking for cards, so not all of these cards are permenent. Here's a few I want:
Norn is a one sided board wipe for me
Planar guide seems fine he's just something odd I haven't seen it before
Confessor seems super bad, especially in multiplayer pods
I agree that confessor is better then castigate I suggest both are bad your spending one card to take one card which is a really bad set up in edh if you play one vs one then he might be borderline playable. I feel like there must be better options for whatever effect your wanting out of that (either extort or disard) there's mind twist for stripping one guys hand
EDIT - unless you have something super relevent and opionon changing for me this will probably be my last post on the confessor. I feel like neither of us are being moved
Whatever I'm not keeping it in the deck when I get some of the cards I'm looking for. I've thought about Sadistic Hypnotist or maybe Identity Crisis for a one shot trick.

Blade of the bloodchief is an auto include if you play Vish Kal too.
Mirran crusader seems really small, like he might block a guy or two before a wrath, or might beat for four but he's small.
FlickerwispI know he's used in death and taxes but I don't see anyway to really get value off of him here, is he just resto angel part 2
Planar guide seems cool but I know playing black white I want the wrath not the anti wrath, but he seems fine
hero of bladehold this guy was super unimpressive for me honestly
vizkopa confessor seems bad one are from one person bad body you have to pay life
darkest hour seems bad without teysa 1.0 at the head
blind zealot seems really small in edh you lose one card someone else loses 1 card and the other two player gain card advantage on you and whoever you hit with blind zealot

elesh norn, grand cenobyte? Where she at your in white and use these creature things

They must be foil.
When Dragon's Maze comes out, I want to get:
Teysa 2.0

Pontiff of Blight (maybe)

Life is irrelevant. I would use castigate, but I can't abuse it like I can with the confessor.
