I kinda want to work in blighted bat or something to give my ooze haste but the combo is already so many slots, I also want to work in the lab maniac jace as an alternate wincon aaaaa

I probably need a Grave-Shell Scarab to make sure I can always mill my entire deck too

This deck could use Morphling to make your Ooze trickier to kill.

After reflection, I think I want to bring the focus in more on dreams of the dead and cut the clunky goo combo

The main synergy now is that you can flicker creatures brought back with dreams to remove the upkeep cost and have the creature go to the grave when it dies to be brought back again. I'm using angel of despair and wispweaver angel over ashen rider and Restoration Angel for budget reasons and so I don't feel like I need to splash white to cast resto :v Archfiend seems nice with all the looting effects I already wanted to include anyway in this kind of strategy for wide boards.

I think I'm finally happy with this :v I realised Charming Prince was the early game this deck really wanted, and worth the white splash.
