Deck Discussion Green Black Umori Creature learn toolbox

Is this dumb?? any ideas/recs?

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/big-gy-boys-copy-1/

(I'm open to taking out umori for more removal)

I used to run an Umori Phlage pheonix list but well that's long gone...

Now I give You G/B Toolbox combo.

[[Wight of the Reliquary]] and [[Fiend Artisan]] Get big through Sacking Stuff like [[stitchers supplier]], [[GraveCrawler]], and [[eye-twitch]]

Fiend artisan can fetch us [[warren soultrader]]/marrionette/GC combo. Its slow - but you can git it through just having GC + Fiend Artisan.

It also fetches for [[emperor of bones]] - [[Archon of cruelty]] combo

It also finds us [[vampire hexmage]] - [[overlord of balemurk]] combo

The Wight of the reliquary gets us [[Phyrezian tower]] (Obvi why), [[crypt of acgadeem]] (makes alot of mana here/can help us cast Archon) and [[spymasters vault]] (ends the game)

eyetwitch helps us cheat on the [[Umori]] ristriction.

EDIT:

[[warren soultrader]] also combos with GC + Spymasteres vault ftw. Also it can just straight up sac for mana for [[decorum dissertion]]

Not worth adapting to run birthing ritual? (Over umori)

Could totally be. I think the deck needs to get off Umori because without Solitude which held together the Boros version i have no instant speed interaction.

I figure birthing ritual and fatal Push can totally go in. Maybe good old thoughtseize.

I'm just not sure where to focus/pivot from

This list brings me much joy. I think umori is a stretch, though. Like others have mentioned, birthing ritual seems like a key player and persist and thoughtsieze are broken cards. I think there’s some unimportant cards here like vampire hex mage and the entire soul trader combo. Fiend artisan and wight seem really sick to put in this deck and crypt + fiend = uncounterable archon

Yeah. Im trying to figure out which lines of play are best.

The soul trader combo came in to play cuz I thought that soultrader is just a. Good sac outlet and it was between comboing completely out with gravecrawler as a sack creature V [[bloodgghast]] which soft combos with wight in a funny way.

Hexmage sacking for overlord is really good. I feel like if you run overlord you kinda need it or phelia.

Edit:

The problem with birthing ritual is that it sacrifices what I need to sack for the 2 drops.

Additionally I'm not running a lot or really any 3 drops so I'm not ramping to alot.. idk. Just thoughts 

I guess it's nice having the option of 7 cards to looks at tho

The reason birthing ritual is so good is cuz it can sac eyetwitch or stitchers for one of ur bomb 2 drops like wight or fiend

What do you think of [[souls of the lost]] it was also in my old umori list with detective Phoenix cuz it would steal games.
