fill in with land or more creatures !!!
The idea is to stay alive long enough to get the hermit druid working. The reason for the walls is to keep your opponents attacks minimal until you can get your cards so play them as you get them. If you plan on beating with direct damage instead of creatures then stick with the highest defensive walls you can find for the lowest casting cost. Black has life giving walls and red can stop shadow. Also consider the swap of the Songs of the damned and drain life for 8 of your creatures. The cards you must have to win are: Eater of the Dead, Hermit Druid, Haunting Misery, and either Fire Whip or Kyren Negotiations. Sounds like a lot but with the new mulligan rule, try test draws and see what your odds are to get 2 of the four on the open draw. As long as you draw some land and some walls you should survive even the Winnie decks. Once you get the Druid play it at once and start tapping. Once you hit a land, put it in your hand and put all others in your graveyard. The whole deck plays from there. Watch for the Forbidden Crypt, you must have one in your hand it does no good in your graveyard, “Whenever you would draw a card, instead return target card from your graveyard to your hand. If you can't, you lose the game. Whenever a card would be put into your graveyard, instead remove that card from the game.” Remember to play the Crypt after the graveyard is full. If you have the druid in play, at least 8 lands and draw the Mana severance cast it for (2), tap the druid for (1) dumping everything you got into the graveyard and then cast the Crypt for (5). If all went well you are playing around turn 10 or so and have about 20 to 30 creatures in your graveyard along with the 20 spells. Because the crypt allows you to pick ANY card you want from the graveyard when you draw a card you are in control now. Need life, pick a Blossoming Wreath and gain 1 life for each creature card in your grave yard. Haunting Misery will do 1 point of damage for each creature card you remove from the graveyard. Put a Whip on Eater of the Dead or play a Kyren Negotiations and do as much damage as you have creatures in your graveyard. Remove the red cards, go all direct damage, adjust your land and your odds grow even greater. There are only 3 rare cards you have to have and the rest are all commons or un-commons. It can work without the Mana severance but it will take a lot longer and is less effective. BIGGER IS BETTER. Just keep your “odds” or draw ratio the same as a 60 card deck and amaze your opponents, or get thrown out
Life is short
Have fun !!
