So, the big big problem I'm seeing here is that your only way to interact with someone is 4 copies of three steps. The second big problem is you can't really do anything with your combo until a lot later in the game. Guilded Lotus is 5 mana and the only reduced you have is Artist's talent. You're likely gonna get hit by [[unstoppable slasher]] + [[bloodletter of aclazotz]] before you can start going off

Not saying that it can't work, it's just you're gonna need a few more tweaks and help to make it viable

#

I'll use the most recent combo deck in standard I can think of: Floodcaller

#

So right away, the 2 key pieces in [[valley floodcaller]] and [[enduring vitality]] are not only way cheaper to cast, but vitality has built in removal protection. This makes the combo easier to cast and easier to protect

On top of that, there's buckets of interaction to keep the combo safe AND remove any threats before they can get in the way of the deck's gameplan. [[this town ain't big enough]] is amazing for both removing threats, protecting combo pieces, AND triggering the combo. It's a 3 for 1 card in the deck

I really want your deck to work. I like the idea, especially with doppelgang. It's my favourite card in standard rn. But to get it up and running, we're gonna need ways to get combo pieces out faster and bully people that try to go for wins or threaten the combo

@fringe stratus would cards like arboreal grazer in pioneer work well in this deck
