New primer should be going up by next week, possibly this weekend.
If there is anything in there that I failed to mention or should be explained in more detail just let me know. Criticism is a healthy part of learning.

Holy crap guys this card is REAL...
Imagine someone plussing a liliana on you when you have like 5-6 mana up, just wow.. the value wtf. This is such a good lategame card too if you can trigger the madness, reminds me of entreat the angels. The lifegain is the thing that Makes this card at all viable though, sucks sooo much taht they come into play tapped(at least the lifegain helps offset this alittle if you're being pressured a lot) but wow this is an Excellent lategame card and still decent in the midgame for sure. I'm Very excited for this thing, tricky part is triggering madness without much mana investment, currently seems like loothouse is the best way to have that function. (jace as well, unfortunately because I don't really like the 2 mana jace! Hopfully the come out with some better madness enablers forthcoming soon!)
Since you're only wanting to go madness mode on this card in the lategame, 1 or 2 loothouses might be fine to run since by the lategame you are likely to run into one of those lands by that point.
This thing is like a nightmare for jund, makes them think twice about using lilianas and thoughtseizes.

I know they're a little outdated but they're the most recent ones I could find. The CFB people typically know their stuff and I feel that for anybody even mildly interested in the deck, seeing it in action could be a plus.

The card is indeed very interesting, but I don't like the fact that you need to discard it for it be really interesting.
Yeah, I just am frustrated with the few "modern playable" discard outlets that we have access to atm. Seems like just loothouse and baby jace. Loothouse is kinda expensive (ideally a 0 mana outlet is preferable for maximizing zombies) and baby jace is fine, it just idk it kinda sucks for decks with a lot of counterspells in them since you cant use babyjace to flash those back effectively.
Honestly I'm picturing a Dreadship Reef control deck (along with a loothouse) and with 1-3 of this card in it as a finisher.
I'm Really just hoping that they print better discard outlets, like on a land or something. Something like tap: add (1) colorless mana, and a second ability (0):discard a card, pay 1 life. Or just (0):discard a card. Unsure if they need the life loss for balancing but yeah (they probably do? Maybe discard a card at random, lol :)), the deck definitely wants something like that very badly. Here's to hoping.
yea probably true, altho idk maybe if it had enough strings attached! Like the old "Activate this ability once per turn" clause . Maybe also lose 2 life or something.
I'm happy to see you'll be taking the head over this thread.
