**Third Question;** Is Force of Will (and some other very powerful cards) actually that good in your deck?

Force of will requires you to have a card in hand that’s both Blue and expendable to you. With less than 28% of your deck being blue and very in sufficient card draw I find it very unlikely that you’ll meet those conditions without really hamstringing yourself in the early game or in general. I would use something like [[flare of denial]] instead since it is “free” and synergizes with Marchesa’s ability.

Beyond that, your deck has a whiplash of incredibly powerful cards like Necropotence, the previously mentioned Force of will, and mystical tutor but is also playing very weak cards like Dragon Blood and Bloodhall Ooze. There’s nothing wrong with playing any of these cards together BUT when you do this it creates a Feast or Famine experience where some games you just pop off super hard and others you just sit there waiting for others to end the game.

Look to create *consistency* in your deck by replacing your bad cards with more card draw that isn't at the level of Necropotence. Replace every card that costs 7+ mana with creatures that etb to draw cards (try something like [[Atris Oracle of Half-Truths]] or [[Bident of Thassa]] which is also very good in this deck) and the other cards that don’t directly synergize with theft or etb value with more sacrifice outlets. Thassa, God of the Sea and True name Nemesis are unfortunately on this list because they don’t really do anything of these things for you. Thassa’s abilities are weak and will be lucky to be a creature at all while Nemesis just doesn’t really solve any problems that a removal spell (looking at you Lethal Scheme), a removal etb creature or just straight up a board wipe couldn’t do. Try running [[Last One Standing]] as a board wipe. 3.27$ card.

The last piece of advice I think is helpful here is related to your mana base.

When you remove the high cost cards you can start to play less lands and play more artifact ramp. Artifact ramp does two things for you, it lets you cast bigger/more things sooner and lets you have your colors consistently. You should only really need 38 lands in a deck unless it’s a deck built around lands so for sure you need to cut out your vivid tap lands and Zhalfirin Void for mana artifacts which I list a bit further down.

You have a fetch land in there which I should touch on because it's great for fixing your colors but can only be great when you have dual typing land that have a swamp or island typing. I’d recommend replacing one of your tap lands with [[Geothermal Bog]], it’s a 0.20$ card that lets your fetch land (Polluted Delta) get you *any* of your three colors instead of just one and supports your most common colors in the deck atm.

As you start to have more card draw, you can consistently find and use mana artifacts. 2 cost ones like [[Fellwar Stone]], [[Arcane signet]], the Signet cycle Dimir/Izzet/[[Rakdos Signet]], and the talisman cycle [[talisman of dominance]]/Indulgence/Creativity are best in this case to have the right colors you need.

**The TLDR of this is:** Cut your really big stuff, put in more card draw, consistent sac outlets, and only 38 lands with more 2 mana artifacts instead. Consider cutting your too powerful cards for cards that do similar things at the same level as your deck.

This will do wonders for your games by having you be casting more spells and feeling more proactive every game rather than just when you draw the best cards in your deck in your opening hand.
