Changes made for Ravnica Allegiance.

Standard Sultai deck that needs some help. Really have enjoyed playing it at FNM and have gotten positive results. I have lost almost every match to Jeskai or Izzet control though (have won games but almost always get burned out).

Full description of card choices being added soon as well as proofreading.

Main:

Creatures: Show

2x Underrealm Lich : A big do nothing enchantment that can get hit by creature removal that sometimes attacks for 4. Main purpose is to vastly improve the card selection of the deck and to reach the answers necessary to respond to a threat before an opponent can reach their next one. Lava Coil and Vraska's Contempt makes short work of the Lich.

1x Nezahal, Primal Tide : Necessary inclusion to help finish off Jeskai and Izzet decks. The large 7/7 body is resistant to Fight with Fire and can at least draw a card off of getting hit with removal.

Instants: Show

4x Assassin's Trophy : Versatile answer for hitting any permanent, namely opposing walkers. Keeps with the decks ability to handle almost any card an opponent plays.

3x Chemister's Insight : Helps the deck get up on cards and provides excellent card selection with Lich.

4x Sinister Sabotage : Catch all counter spell that help with draws.

4x Syncopate : Decent game one counter. Best traded out for more situational removal for game two. Opponents generally become more conservative after the first one.

Sorceries: Show

4x Thought Erasure : Perfect for removing the greatest threat in an opponents hand. The card selection makes it all the better.

3x Secrets of the Golden City : Can provide a Divination early game and draws 3 late game. Perfect for a deck that aims to play the long game.

4x Discovery / Dispersal : Essentially a two mana ponder early game and a decent answer late game. Great for answering high cmc threats or buying time for an answer. Carnage Tyrant you slippery dino you.

3x Gaea's Blessing : Seemingly odd inclusion that serves to recycle resources and prevent decking with lich. Also a mediocre maindeck graveyard hate tool. Decent for the interaction with Lich and a number of decks that a using their graveyard as a resource right now.

Enchantments: Show

2x The Eldest Reborn : Powerful three for one that plays out perfectly turn five. Good answer to Teferi and Niv in Jeskai decks.
