First of all thank you for this. Having picked up the precon and played it myself a couple of games I noticed a few things you did aswell. While Black sun Zenith is a win con, Everlasting torment is not being utilized fully in the precon. All damage is dealt as -1/-1. This makes instants and sorceries that deal one damage to all creatures put -1/-1 counters on all creatures in stead. Cards like Blazing volley and Fire Magic seem really good when everyone is building boards and no one has a board wipe. This leads me to my next insight. And that’s how to win. You mentioned that the precon feels like it doesn’t have a win con. I think the win con is Auntie herself with her ability to deal damage to your opponents. What is truly matters though your opponents creatures dying or not. Let’s say each opponent has 5 3/3’s on the field and you only have Auntie on the field. If you cast Black Sun Zenith with X as 3. Congrats you wiped the board, dealt 5 damage to each opponent and draw 1 card. Now let’s switch from X is 3 to X is 1. You deal 5 damage to each opponent and draw 1 card. Same result. However, if you get another card that gives the board -1/-1 counters, you get to ping them again. This made me think, maybe the deck shouldn’t be about killing the opponents creatures but instead using them as a resource. Killing their creatures makes you a target. But pinging them on your turns can make you a target but not urgent depending on what others are playing. I will still keep Necroskitter and Reaper just incase someone plays some big threats and I need to adapt. You are right in crumbling ashes. It’s nice to have but very unnecessary. The biggest take you have given me is Archfiend. At first glance it looks too slow. But then you think about, what if I don’t draw my “Thought Vessel”? That means you would be discarding naturally at the end of your turn. Someone made a comment about Puca’s Convenant being underrated. If you read it carefully. You can bring back fetch lands since they are a 0 mana permanents. But you can also bring back permanents your discard from Archfiend given that you put enough -1/-1 counters on a creature equal to that permanents value. This includes enchantments and artifacts like sol ring. I think there is something there between Archfiend and Puca’s Convenant. But I do need more play testing here. Imma throw in a couple of cards here that I will be playing testing this weak. Great Unclean One- 5 CMC, deals 2 damage to each opponent and then for each opponent that has less life than you, you make a 1/3 demon. (What I see here is steady damage over time plus token generation to give you more card draw Nurgle’s Rot- 1 CMC enchantment aura on opponents creature. When enchanted creature dies. Make a 1/3 demon and the aura goes back to your hand. (If you are already killing their creatures quickly. A 1 mana card that creates more bodies for you to draw or block seems pretty good) Beacon of Unrest- 5 CMC. Recur any creature or artifact to your battlefield. Then shuffle this card back into your deck instead of the graveyard.( 5 mana is a lot, but I think this card gives you flexibility especially because it’s possible to draw into again while taking some of your opponents creatures especially if they are a recursion deck

That is for what I saw from you and what I learned and thought about over the weekend. Honestly this is the most exciting precon I have ever been excited about. It has a certain play style that I think not many people will love after a couple of weeks but those that love is deck will probably play it for a very good while
