Not sure what to do about sorceries/instants/pyreheart wolf. Might drop spear down to 3 and pillar up to 3. Might swap out loyalist for stromkirk noble. Might just swap out pyreheart for 4 stromkirk and bring loyalisty down to 3.
aristocrat is great at getting past blockers, and champion is also a very good attacker with synergy with the deck. High priest is just high impact with doomed traveler, and being budget your deck needs power. I realize these arent 15 cent cards, but they arent money mythics either
Thanks for the suggestions.
I had contemplated running Champion of the Parish considering I have a lot of humans, but I wanted some opinions first.
I can't believe I never saw the synergy that exalted has with cartel aristocrat.
If I put aristocrat in is it still worth it to keep faith's shield?
Also I don't really understand the synergy that doomed traveler has with skirsdag, care to explain?
Rise from the grave looks good (it's a shame that Unburial Rites flashback has white mana in it -.-)
and yeah I had 4 Duress on friday, but I never drew it due to my poor decision of having very little draw power.
I'll probably end up putting it back in. Undying evil seems interesting, I had a lot of problems with my crypt ghast getting removed.
Maybe drop some removal for 3 duress and 3 undying evil?
This deck should work quite well. I would suggest reducing number of Ultimate Prices and Murders. Issue with Lord of the Void in this list is there is no way to give him trample so he can get chumped by spirit tokens. Sever the Bloodline is going to be more efficent than single target removal. Think about Dead Weight if your meta is more aggro centered, also Curse of Death's Hold is interesting as single one on the board stops those spirit tokens, and almost whole Aristocrats.dec.
I have illness in the ranks in my side for tokens specifically, but I might replace it with curse of death's hold. My meta is very control centered (went up against some netdecked rug deck that wasn't flash, and 2 espers.) Basically Planeswalkers won round 1 and 2 for my opponents (lily and tamiyo respectively) while round 3 I was just too slow (I only had 2 sign in bloods in my list at that time for some reason.) Yeah trying to get lord to do damage is a huge problem, but I'm not sure what I can do about it. Thoughts?
EDIT: It wasn't rug, it was actually RBG (not sure what that's called, jund I think?) sorry.
Can I get some opinions on my budget list?
I went 0-3 this friday (not the exact same list, but a similar one) and I'm pretty disappointed.
Maybe I just can't make it work without the lilys/gbrands?
Game plan is relatively simple, swing with one creature buffed up high w/ exalted while trying to make him
unblockable (rogue's passage, faith's shield or other built in protection) or get rid of any blockers (ultimate price/orzhov charm).
Immortal Servitude for the inevitable board wipes that will hit and to help maintain field presence.
Blind Obediance main decked because it destroys aggro decks and gives me a bit of time to set up.
This is a budget deck so please keep that in mind when contributing (Sublime Archangel ).
Thank you!

Victim of night is such a strong card right now, i'm loving it haha.
Also how would army of the damned help me against things such as esper?
