trying out esper Raffine Scheming Seer fringe pile

here's the decklist, maintained by me and a friend; https://moxfield.com/decks/y8v2ANTv-Uu7zsti5K-koQ

started out as a hashaton reanimator adjacent deck that tried to reanimate big creatures that win the game by overwhelming opponents with card advantage or by just not letting them play which then devolved into a very creature heavy, control shell that can also crack doomsday piles in addition to a bunch of stuff it can do

im questioning what other stuff i might add or would work for the deck and what its trying to do. right now im trying [[umezawa's jitte]], [[tymna]] and [[delney]], and [[lavinia azorius renegade]] but im also looking into possible swaps for [[grand abolisher]], particularly [[myrel shield of argive]] which plays well into the "go wide" strategy of raffine that provides additional card advantage;
also considering [[spider woman stunning saviour]] instead of [[charismatic conqueror]], or [[grim hireling]] over [[rev tithe extractor]], or if i should replace the cards that contradict each other ie [[wan shi tong librarian]] when im also running [[opposition agent]]

Hello everyone, about a week ago I found this website called edhlab.gg while scrolling instagram reels, and I decided to check it out and it has potential as an alternative to Cockatrice, Xmage, untap.gg or Spelltable. It's an online simulator for EDH games and it has worked pretty decently so far. Only thing you need to create an account is Discord but other than that its completely free.

It's super easy to use, think the goldfish option for Moxfield but you can actually play with other people in it. You can directly import your decks from moxfield or archidekt by typing in your Moxfield username, and it will automatically put it in for you (though its a bit buggy in my experience). If you don't want to play with anyone else at the moment, you can playtest with all the decks you have in Playtester so you can simulate goldfishes and mulligans based on seats, with each seat having a different deck.

You join online games with randoms or by creating your own table in the play online option, where there's a menu of tables you can join, table name, players and rule zero/brackets labeled. There's also built-in voice chat so no need for a secondary application to talk with the people you're playing with, and if you don't have a microphone there's always a chat option. There's also game logs, though it is quite sensitive as it lists every single "game action" each player makes, even if it would technically make no sense if you only followed the exclusively game logs.

It's relatively new and still being actively updated by its developers who push live updates almost daily, so it's still very rough around the edges. Right now they are looking into adding sideboard and support for stuff like stickers or companions. But I wanted to share here since the community is actually so far dominantly casual, mostly playing games of brackets 1 through 4, so i've never gotten a real cedh game on it, though I feel like it would be a better experience than Cockatrice or Xmage (untap and spelltable ive never gotten to use).
