Yeah the souls would come out against combo. The deck is so good against delver/creature decks that I decided to cut an abrupt decay, the only thing it kills that I care a lot about is a deceiver exarch. Could be wrong though.
I think you need some kind of proactive gameplan against control and the blockers are useful against midrange and aggro. It is also one of the best cards to cast from your graveyard/pitch to looting. I think you either need lingering souls or bloodghast to apply pressure. Either that or go more creature heavy with goyfs. I ended up cutting an abrupt decay,magmatic insight and a molten vortex for 3 inquisitions. Then I swapped the assaults for zombie infestation to try that out. I haven't played too much yet but I think I will like it.
Updated my list a little bit. Went 3-1 at FNM.
Round 1 was Burn easy win he had bad draws.
Round 2 was also Burn, lived with 1 life in game 2 by constantly dredging brownscales.
Round 3 was Jeskei Twin. Barely lost to my friend. Rest in peace + Relic of projenitus was just a little too much to handle.
Round 4 was Bogles, really easy matchup with Smallpox.
I feel like I could use 3 Inquisitions in the main deck. IoK to get information on what they are playing and sculpt my hands with the correct answers for that. Does anyone have suggestions on what to cut?
Also I have a really outdated mana base from before the friendly fetches were printed. Are Graven Cairns still useful or should I just stick with fastlands/shocklands/fetches.
Yeah you are probably right. I was even thinking of going up to 27 lands just because it runs so much better when you have ample lands. Especially with the 4 of Magmatic Insight and no Tormenting Voice.
