I need help or a second opinion with Killian Decisive Mentor.

Hey everyone.

I’ve been trying to tune my Killian, Decisive Mentor deck for a really long time, but I still feel like I can’t get it quite right for stronger Bracket 3 tables.

The idea is to play it more like control/midrange, not voltron, but I constantly struggle with:

  • balancing the number of auras and creatures
  • figuring out the mana base/ramp
  • and especially finding consistent ways to actually close games

I’ve tried some win lines with Warren Soultrader / Phyrexian Altar together with Caretaker's Talent, copying Caretaker’s level 2 with Adagia, Windswept Bastion / Ondu Spiritdancer and using token generators like Ghostly Dancers / Hallowed Haunting together with Screams from Within + Altar.

I got those combo ideas from some YouTube videos and while the deck does some cool stuff, I still don’t feel like it can really keep up with strong Bracket 3 decks.

I’m also unsure about cards like No Mercy, not sure if they’re actually worth the slot here.

What would you change?
