Liliana Vess does help out, but not enough for 5 Mana, and I just don't like her in general.

Sadistic Sacrement costs quite a lot and I want to have Mana open for my Counterspells.

I meant with the kicker ability, but still, I don't think it's that great of an effect and like I said, I want to keep my Mana open.

Persistent, aren't they?

I'll try to avoid the Blue Elephant in this deck, *cough* Jace the Big Douche *cough* and look at what could be of use. *grins*

Since I'm guessing this is T2 standard, my usual control freaks are pushed out of the equation. In all honesty, though I see why you might have done it, the Disfigures and the Doom Blade seem kind of out of place. Why not utilize the ridiculous power of Grasp of Darkness, regardless of the mana occurrance issue? would free up a few spaces and get rid of some otherwise less-effective cards. Of course, I also have bones to pick with Duress and the Inquisition of Kozilek. I know they're there to pick out what you don't want your opponents to have specifically, but they're just so specific. Unfortunately, there's no other cards in Standard right now to help with this issue unless you change to blind discarding.

Sorry about that painfully long paragraph. Next, I've got to question the choice of critters. Grave Titan is a tremendously helpful card, WHEN you can get him out. I have much the same issue with the Oracle, since his mana cost is really not worth his ability, unlike our awfully large friend. If you drop the Oracle, Call to Mind could be of great use to this deck for various purposes. Creaturewise, the only critters I xould see as possibly more beneficial to this are card draw or the Screeching Silclaw, which isn't exactly catered to in this deck.

Overall, Aa, I like the deck idea, and see it in use, but it does have a few problems, mainly in the way of defense and offense. Without that Titan, you'd be sunk, man.

6.8/10
