I might add that Rest in Peace is a nonbo with Souls, sometimes people do ask about RiP without considering that.
I don't see Celestial Purge or Disenchant on the list.
Some people have tried Stonecloaker but I think that's pretty peripheral.
Maybe add Caves of Koilos since it provides C (relevant for Oath) and we don't usually need to tap one for color more than once or twice in a game, so it compares favorably to Godless Shrine.
Thanks much for the hard work to put everything together in such an effective form.
Anyone else running into trouble with G1 Wurmcoils, Steel Overseers, etc.? Anyone try out Victim of Night yet?
[EDIT] Also, it occurs to me that Painter's Servant would have the side effect of making All is Dust a 100% board wipe and game reset, leaving only current cards-in-hand and life totals .
This deck needs colorless so it might play better here. But based on my extensive play testing experience, I think the idea that it is going to power a T2 Sculler is optimistic.

Losing Souls means we have no air game at all and is unquestionably a bad decision for a BW build, in my mind. I rely on Souls to chump for 2-3 turns in many games while I set up my fatties (I run zero Maps).

TL;DR version: To have B on T1 with 90% frequency we should be at 14 sources for black and to have W on T3 at 90% we should have 12 sources for white. I don't see that as realistic if we want to keep Vault of the Archangel--which I love and would never cut in a Lingering Souls deck--and at least 2 Ghost Quarter.
It is my sense that Sculler puts way too much pressure on the manabase and therefore doesn't fit the curve particularly well despite its obvious synergy potential.
Thanks much!
Seriously, though, I am truly interested in the chance of finding certain cards in my decks and would love to know if you have a quantitative basis for those figures. I agree that I need to change things up, which is why I posted.
Here's to good draws and sharp thinking. Carry on.
