Highlights:
- One of my favorite decks, very fun to play.
- Can play very controlling game, or ramp aggresively and beat down with giant sea monsters. Versatile, flexible and powerful.
- Chasm Skulker is one of my favorite cards in here. Does a lot for 3 mana.

Notes: 

- Probably wants a Sculpting Steel. Maybe Mycosynth Lattice too?
- Not quite enough removal/interaction.
- Need Duplicant, and maybe Brittle Effigy (Trinket Mage target).
- Could also use something like Vandalblast to deal with enemy Artifacts.
- Mana base is missing a couple of pieces, like Cascade Bluffs; occasionally get color screwed.
- Wouldn't mind having Faithless Looting and Brainstorm as well, but can't find room.

Highlights:
- Deck is usually pretty quick to set up some kind of value engine, and reliably draws tons of extra cards.
- Can sometimes present a quick, early threat, but usually tends to fly a bit under the radar, and appears non-threatening (however, sometimes it does have trouble actually presenting a threat).
- Alhammarret's Archive and Top are awesome when used together.
- Very resilient despite feeling like the underdog in most matchups.
- Unwinding Clock is sweet, especially with a Shimmer Myr in play. Basically this deck's version of Prophet of Kruphix.

Notes:
- Needs more Double Strike- Bastion Protector, Nahiri's Machinations, and Open the Vaults are great new tech for Aurelia, but I'm just trying out Odric, Avacyn, and Archangel of Tithes. Not sure about those yet.
- Stone Have Outfitter is on theme, but is a nonbo with Skullclamp, so it may come out later, if that interaction keeps popping up.
- Would like to have a Daretti for this deck, as well. Used to have a Trading Post and it worked pretty well, so I might want to find room to squeeze it back in.


Highlights:
- Got the good ol' Land Tax + Scroll Rack value engine. Some of the best card advantage W/R can get.
- Gisela and Aurelia make a formidable team, should you be lucky enough to stick both at once.
- Heros's Blade is generic, yeah, but actually really good with Aurelia, making her a 6/6 for free.
- Boros Reckoner + Blasphemous Act is fun; so is Boros Charm + Blasphemous Act.

Notes:
- Bygone Bishop is being tested out, but due to low creature count overall, not sure if he's good here or not.
- Have not yet cast Sorin, Grim Nemesis either, but pretty sure he'll be fine.
- Everything else is pretty well vetted and proven worthy. Should probably find room for either Solemn Simulacrum or Burnished Hart, as I do have a low land count.

Highlights:
- Necropotence is a stupid, stupid Magic card.
- I've never seen an EDH deck this happy to have a Soul Warden on Turn 1.
- Sunscorch Regent has actually been legitimately GREAT in this deck, more than once.
