    Thks a lot for yours feedback both of you.
    Now I have a doubt. I do not know if I splash white or if I invest in the mono black with 2 or 3 lili to replace Davriel ...
    ( I do not have the W cards yet )

    List of the last night local meta :

    1 Amulet titan
    1 Bant eldrazi
    1 WB Pikula
    1 Spirit stoneblade
    1 Mono W eldrazi
    1 RG valakut
    1 Goblins
    1 10 rack
    1 Bant stoneblade
    1 Bant soulherder
    1 G tron
    1 U faeries
    2 Jeskai stoneblade
    1 UW Spirit
    1 Jund

    I made changes on the deck following your advice,
    It could be cool this way I must tray it on untapin.

    Here is my decklist if you want to take some ideas:

    https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/673286#paper

    Next Sunday there is a big competition in my local store. I will tell you how my 10-racks did it.
    Did you use Ghost Quarter before? Imo it's pretty weak in 8Rack, good vs Tron, but not worth it to run main because color requirements are high. Also I'm not a fan of Liliana's Triumph, imo it's win-more, I would prefer versatility of Funeral Charm or power of Wrench Mind

    Yes, the two slots of The Liliana's Triumph was dificult to choose. I was between The 3 cards you said (liliana's Triumph, funeral charm and wrench Mind). I just choose The Triumph for my meta (a lot of artifact with de Tron, urza, etc. And Big creatures) but that two slots anyone can try yo use any of The other cards you said. And, if U need more discard, I have Delirium in my side.
    With the Ghost quarter, yes, It can be a problem with the mana, but I think The deck can handle thanks yo The urborgs. And, As well, in my meta there is a lot of Tron, scapeshift...I have Lost a lot of games for not be able to eliminate a land.

    Hi everyone !

    I just wonder if that following Throne of Eldraine card coudld be played as a one or two of :

    Castle Locthwain
    Land
    Castle Locthwain enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a Swamp.
    T: Add B.
    1BB, T: Draw a card, then you lose life equal to the number of cards in your hand.

    It brings a draw mechanism at reasonable cost.
    controlling a swamp seems not a problem.
    What do you think about it ?

    The problem is that with Smallpox and Raven's Crime... You Will never have 4 lands to play the hability of the Castle...

    It can help you a lot. Is a bit old, and need a update, but you can start from there.

    There are a lot of powerful new cards that could potentially be put into 8 rack.
    Dreadhorde Arcanist Recast most of the spells.
    Dreadhorde Butcher Gets bigger on it's own and deals damage when it dies.
    Liliana's Triumph Extra discard bonus on turn 4. When you probably need to kill a creature anyway.
    Tyrant's Scorn Blue tint, good bounce or destroy effect.
    Ashiok, Dream Render Maybe a 1 or 2 off. Stops fetch lands. And you can exile just their graveyard.
    Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage spicy new rack.
    Jace's Triumph If you can find a way to sneak in a a jace there is a lot of value draw here.
    Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin Attacks and you get two goblin tokens. Then 3. This gives you a lot of blockers. Creatures to sacrifice to some other effect.
    Teferi, Time Raveler 3 colors is a bit much for this deck. Still a good effect.
    God-Eternal Kefnet Cost 4's but it fly's. Copy to most spells in the deck.
    Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion Probably not, if only because I'm not sure what to do with the red mana. Probably 2 red.
    Anything that costs more than 4 needs to be very good. On the level of you win the game if you play it.
    Anyone have any new builds with new cards you are trying out ? Anyone playing main deck graveyard removal?
    Deck must do two things: discard, rack. If you put in every card that does something useful you would put in the whole magic.


    Totally agree. I think the only useful cards are Davriel and Liliana's Triumph. Maybe Ashiok as a side
