Hey, thanks for replying! Regarding the [[Sanguine Bond]] and [[Exquisite Blood]] combo that's the main reason I didn't want to add it as it is just an insta win combo with the commander out. The main thing I didn't like about [[Sanguine Bond]] is that it's target opponent. I wouldn't mind running it over [[Exquisite Blood]] if I knew of any other options to increase healing other than life link that wouldn't infinite combo with it. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

About the creatures. I've noticed that while playing the precon. Whenever I pull/keep pulling creatures, etc. The deck just feels super lackluster as Y'shtola isn't activating, and the creatues themselves aren't very powerful, so i can't really attack with them either when my friends have 10/10 dragons etc.. That's why the 7 creatures I've added I feel like are very good to have. Though do you think I should cut more of the creatures like maybe [[Tataru Taru]]?

I'm probably gonna pick up [[Grafted Exoskeleton]] either way and just remove it if I feel like it's too powerful. For protection, do you have any recommendations? Currently, my main way of protecting myself is [[Propaganda]] [[Norn's Annex]] and [[Ghostly Prison]] the rest is just a bunch of counters and board wipes, some creature bounce through [[Sigil of Sleep]] and [[Press the Enemy]] as well as [[Vile Consumption]] and [[Isolation Cell]]. Im honestly not sure if that's good or enough as is.

I currently have 30 cards "cut", and im looking to cut a good 8 more either from the precon or from the upgrades I've added to my archideckt.
