Currency Converter, Collector's Vault and Ebony fly feel like the weakest options here unless I'm missing something. For consistent draw, I'd either say a less mana intensive option like Guardian Project or Great Henge, or for big bursts, assuming Indo's gonna get huge with Return of the Wildspeaker or Rishkar's Expertise. Ebony Fly is either a low priority 2 mana rock, with Fellwar Stone, Mind Stone or Rampant Growth likely outperforming, or it becomes a consistent mana sink for an ok-ish ability that I'd rather invest into an equipment that gives flying like [[cloak of the bat]] or [[Zephyr Boots]] . The only situation its really great in is if Vrondiss is out, but thats not something I'd rely on, cause you have a 1/6 chance of him blowing up the fly, and thats if you can find both pieces. If you can use all 3 modes for Fly, its ok, but I dont see it performing that way
As just an addition cause you already have half of the combo part, but [[Mikaeus the Unhallowed]] goes infinite with Triskelion or Walking Ballista. If you give Indoraptor indestructible, you can just infinitely ping that and the raptor will win the game by mowing everyone down instead of Triskel/Ballista if thats more your style. If you want the combo, its there.
And cause making Indoraptor massive sounds funny, [[Heartless Hidetsugu]]
I'd maybe also consider throwing in a little bit of Lifelink, [[Whip of Erebos]] being #1, cause most pingers themselves deal the damage, so if say Plague Spitter triggers on upkeep, it hits all creatures and ops, you lose one but gain 10+ cause Spitter itself deals the damage, triggering lifelink. Also silly with Hidetsugu

Legendary Creature — Zombie Cleric
Intimidate (This creature can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it.)
Whenever a Human deals damage to you, destroy it.
Other non-Human creatures you control get +1/+1 and have undying. (When a creature with undying dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.)
5/5

[[Last laugh]] could be a great boardclear that also sometimes just wins you the game?

Similarly, things like Subterranean Spirit seem waaaay slower than simply casting [[Fiery Confluence]] and choosing the first mode three times.

I'd also recommend adding in a lifelink enabler (personally, I'd likely swap the Field of Ruin for a [[witch's clinic]]). And if so, I'd recommend adding [[arcbond]] as it's a super versatile card on its own and truly fantastic if you can pull it off with lifelink

Thanks very much guys the for feedback

Yep, Ebony fly is indeed solely there for the rare off chance of getting it and Vrondiss out (Vrondiss only damages himself so the fly is safe), and the occasional overcosted Evasion. Honestly Maybe Vrondiss can slip out for Mikaeus? Vron is ok, but hasn't seemed amazing. I just like that it stays in theme.
Converter and Collector are for draw/filtering and to give a little gas if decks ends up drawing dead. I like how they don't require setup or creatures to function, and also get a little bonus out of it in Tokens/Treasure.
I don't claims those are 'the best' reasons to include those, it's just why I have them. If you're thinking their not good enough over simple efficiently maybe I should drop them. I was running Fauna Shaman & Survival of the Fittest prior but found them to be too much dead draws if they weren't in the openning hand.
[[Last Laugh}} I like on paper, but found to be too uncontrollable to be useful unless the setup was just prefect.
I agree Subterranean is straight up 'worse' then Confluence, but it demi-combos with Cacophodon. Does that make it better in slot? Or should I stick with Confluence?

I do like thems zephyr boots...
Hidetsugu, yep I see a lot of people using that in Indo builds. I might be completely off-base here, but in my test games I find he's too slow, and a bit of a unprotected target.
Erebos's Whip & Witch's clinic are good ideas that tempting tempting life gain is too good to ignore, and I have noticed I'm not utilizing Black enough in this deck.

Good advice! Always open to more! =)

Unless the spirit is being buffed somehow, even with the cacophodon, you're still only getting three triggers from it, no?

But I should be looking to fit fiery confluence in there somewhere...

Ah you are very right! I missed that line of text
