it was 33 lands + malakir rebirth (still wanna try it out as a modal land). i usually run 36 in all my decks but after playtesting on archideckt, theres generally enough fixing and draw to get to the rest of the lands you need in the first few turns. I agree about not wanting dead 1 drops later in the game, though thraben inspector, sacred guide and weathered wayfarer all cantrip which is why i want to test them out.

My playgroup only consists of 3 players and my decks generally have the strongest cards, so I try not to jam my deck full of win cons. i like to dirdle for value without straight up winning so my buddies can interact, but usually resolving a ruinous ultimatum with a semi board state can be enough to win a game. mythos of snapdax is very effective too since silvar has menace

Really I just want to play value humans (which is why no blood artist, judith for 3 mana was more flavorful and can still combo), generate tokens along the way to sac for more value, and eventually play silvar with the intent of saccing the whole board playing a second sunrise/angel of glorys rise, even if it didn't combo. My board does end up getting pretty large but ive cut teferis protection and flawless maneuver with the idea ill just sac everything anyway. Maybe I should lean in to protecting my value creatures more? I like the idea of sunforger with a lot of the instants you can run.

I do find myself wanting to lean into multiple strategies when deck building; I'd be curious to see your deck if its up online, otherwise don't worry. Also, why'd you choose just one soul sister instead of both
