#sealed pool

My deck for the Birthday M19 event at Gencon 2018! Went 2-1 and dropped. First round swept against Boros jank, second round fought Jund and switcharooed a falcon for Vaevictis, and third round lost to the zombie that can make tokens from the grave, fueling it unintentionally with rebuilding. Really proud that I did even that well and that I got to be a part of Magic history!

What kind of deck would you build out of this Sealed pool from Eternal Masters?

SOI Sealed Pool Sample

Okay, so I used this site to generate the pool below. From that pool, I built this deck:

Creatures 14 1 CMC town gossipmonger x incited rabble W

2 CMC sanguinary mage R ember-eye wolf R kessig forgemaster x flameheart werewolf R relentless dead BB unruly mob W rancid rats B

3 CMC bygone bishop W crow of dark tidings B

4 CMC voldaren duelist R pyre hound R

5+ CMC ghoulsteed B markov dreadknight BB emissary of the sleepless W

Removal 6 1 CMC sinister concoction B dual shot R

3 CMC to the slaughter B bound by moonsilver W

5+ CMC throttle B dissension in the ranks RR

Other 4 2 CMC expose evil W not forgotten W

3 CMC merciless resolve B

5+ CMC behold the beyond BB

Lands 17 2 warped landscape stone quarry RW foreboding ruins 4 plains 5 swamp 4 mountain

12 B -- 7 W -- 8 R

I’ve currently actually got 41 cards here total. What do I cut? What other changes would you make? My 2 drops are sort of crowded, but I generally prefer those to other options to increase the 3 drops. Also clue tokens, which I can make a few of, provide some card draw and an outlet for excess mana (and a few creatures offer that as well). Honestly not sure if I should play with more delirium stuff. For the most part I’m not terribly impressed by what the delirium stuff in this pool gets me, but it would provide reason to consider running Creeping Dread.

And should I look at Triskaidekaphobia as “You win by dealing 7 points of damage to your opponent” and run it?

Entire pool below the cut.
