Pretty close to my list. Have you done any testing with it? If so how do you like Lotleth Troll, he seems semi useful but when I originally had him in my deck I didn't want to lose creatures from my hand to make him bigger and his regen just seems like you are holding back to keep one B up so I cut him cause you want to be doing something more every turn.
Yeah, it may end up being that he's unnecessary but I like having a lot of resilient threats. Normally I just chuck top decks Experiment ones, or lifebane zombies when their hand is empty to him so he ends up with 2-3 counters max unless I'm dumping my hand to him for lethal.
In white with mutliple lifegain outlets and no Archangle?
Don't really see a reason to Troll as you're not reanimating or dredging
Thanks for the comments. My thought process on the Trolls were that tey were also resilient threats. I can pitch late game pilgrims to them, have some combat tricks plus with Ooze anything I pitch can be fed to him. Is there something else you'd recommend testing in that slot?
The name says it all. Lots of resilient threats. Can steal games with the infinite life gain with reckoner and ready/willing against aggro as they never expect it.
Originally I did have Dreg Manglers but I found the 3 drop is already flooded with messenger,captain, and normally I don't drop lotleth unless I have regen mana to back him up.
Rancor lets ghouls/crawlers trade with almost anything and I like the 2 ruptures just because no one expects it game 1 and it can steal a win countering a thragtusk or the like.
Cutting the misers Liliana and putting her in the board may be worth it.

As for my sb, I'm thinking of at least 1 liliana, nighthawks, appetites, death rites, and putrify some mix of that.
