The card that puts it over the top is Flaying Tendrils. Hard to lose when it comes down and 2 for or 3 for 1's. However that card misses a lot of GB early and is a dud by mid game. What card would you suggest as a SB replacement. I am testing Quarantine field but with all of the Fragmentize, Appetite for the Unnaturaland Release the Gremlins running about I worry I will just see the threats again.
I am also not nuts about Gonti, Lord of Luxury. Maybe its because I never seem to roll into something useful with him and he is a 4 cmc damage sink then. He does make a nice blocker for Liliana but I wonder if a different legendary (so it can be tutored for) might be better. Maybe Tamiyo's Journal for draw. Not sure I want to give up a lineman for my QB (liliana) though. On the other hand I virtually never tutor for that card as I have more pressing targets in my deck. So is there a good one of card that has some built in card advantage and can help protect the PW.
I think I lack the experience to predict the impact of cards and it tends to take me a great number of games to realize if a card rocks or underwhelms.
Out of Curiosity, why Flaying Tendrils over Yaheeni's Expertise? You have some good cards that are 3 cmc or less that can be played for free putting you well ahead after a sweeper.
Thanks for the reply. Yahenni's Expertise into Liliana, the Last Hope would be a game winner as she could put the finishing touch on anyone left over, but I really hate seeing those Scrapheap Scroungers over and over. So Chose Tendrils as I thought I would still miss the same GB cards with the expertise.
The card advantage does sound appealing. I think i will try it in earnest this time.
Actually Yahenni's Expertisewill hit too many of my own creatures. I think I have to try something else.

If you're not opposed to going a little bit bigger, Demon of Dark Schemes is a great card. A 5/5, flying, graveyard stealing Flaying Tendrils
