Could be intimidating against my deck but then again, if I get the hop and you don't have early removal... well. If not my midrange might get you.

Well, so much removal kills Drakes, White, Red, Golgari, Blue.
I think that the deck sideboards well against the meta too as it can go extremely low with cheap removal, or more lasting with 4 Treasure map and 4 Tyrants + Walkers.

The only thing I should've maybe added to SB is Sanguine Sacrament

That deck looks like a beast. It may have a bit of a hard time vs very aggressive decks though, and no idea how it holds up to heavy control. It may well work for both.

Heavy control you just play your lands and wait to kill their threats as they don't play that many of them, force them to tapout or the Tyrant makes work with 2 Reborn to get them back. Or just play karn tokens and vraska tokens with ultimate.

Post board the Karn tokens are hilarious with treasures as they can enter as a 7/7 easily.

Hard aggro is okaish, I usually wipe t4 and just do 1for1 removal with a walker ticking.

I wasn't sold on Karn in my Golgari decks but he's a real monster.

Wanna play some sets vs. my Selesnya tokens?

8 sweepers is very intimidating, but it does mean you should have a very hard time against Izzet & control.

Sure, but busy today.

Why hard time? Soot is dead true, but so is their removal

Ok, I think I got the deck, so far it's working great against the meta, especially everything creature based. Still debating on the Soot/Cast Down split... I added soot after playing a few golgari decks where I just wished I had a wipe for all those weenies. On the other hand Soot is really bad against drakes, but we have like 16 other spells to kill them. Maybe the split should be 0 Cast / 4 Soot?

//Creatures (4):
4 x Carnage Tyrant

//Planeswalkers (6):
4 x Karn, Scion of Urza
2 x Vraska, Relic Seeker

//Non-creature Spells (26):
1 x The Eldest Reborn
3 x Settle the Wreckage
4 x Treasure Map
4 x Vraska's Contempt
4 x Ixalan's Binding
2 x Cleansing Nova
4 x Ritual of Soot
4 x Assassin's Trophy

//Lands (24):
4 x Isolated Chapel
4 x Woodland Cemetery
4 x Sunpetal Grove
2 x Plains
2 x Swamp
4 x Overgrown Tomb
4 x Temple Garden

//Sideboard (15):
4 x Cast Down
2 x The Eldest Reborn
4 x Moment of Craving
4 x Adanto Vanguard
1 x Plains
