{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi Sacrapro,\n\nThe deck seems solid! I'm a little worried that you wouldn't necessarily be able to lose life as freely as you want, as in, having the pain lands is good, but having some alternatives would be useful too, as being forced to pay life to make your colours when your Death's Shadow is already big enough, or they're threatening lethal is not ideal. \nPerhaps something like the fast lands would be a good addition? Which from memory, are reasonably priced, but that may have changed since I last checked. A Terramorphic Expanse or Evolving Wilds may not go astray either, as being able to find the lands you need at any given time is pretty important. \nAs for additions, despite my above comment, I'd potentially recommend some other life outlets, to hopefully get you to the life total you want (~10), such as Bitter Triumph, or any of the Defiler's (Defiler of Faith, Flesh, and Instinct.)\n\nSomething like some reanimation might not hurt either, so that you can discard Death's Shadows early on when they're not doing anything for you, and bring them back later once they're useful, via things like Unearth, or an Extraction Specialist. Committing to solely Orzhov, Rakdos, or black may also be the way to go, but admittedly having the toolbox of all 3 colours is still very useful. \n\nFinally a haste-enabler, like Tuktuk Rubblefort, or Song of Totentanz may be good additions, as there may be times where you're on 4-5 life, and need to kill your opponent before they untap, but can't attack. I especially recommend the Tuktuk Rubblefort, or Crashing Drawbridge, as they're also blockers in times of need.\n\nDon't get me wrong - the deck seems good! Most of these additions should likely be play tested before committing to them, as they may make the deck worse/take it in a direction you don't want, but never the less I'd recommend considering the above!\n\nHope this helps!\n\n(p.s. A Leyline of Sanctity is a must have for your sideboard, because Red or Boros burn would be very punishing to play against)\n"}]}
