if you were to make this deck, cobra and a swarmlord could probably be switched out for 3 khalni heart expidition and 2 explore, though it wont be quite as fast.

I agree with dagbaker. you have way to many 5 drops for 20 land. also, 4 overwhelming is a bit to much. 3 is plenty, though i usualy run 2. i'd also drop atleast one glint hawk, because you only have eight artifacts. also, i think this deck could really use emeria angel. it is a sizable flier, and give you tokens. it's kinda a win-win situation. i'd through in 2 if i were you. i'd suggest dropping giant growth for 2 more land and atleast 2 garruk. that should make the deck solid. hope i helped
so i'm looking at your mana curve and you're not gonna be able to do much till turn three. the answer would probably be birds of paradise. a full playset.swap your hedrons with everflowing chalices. they're more flexible, and you wont be using the draw from hedron anyway. if you want to swarm, i'd suggest Garruk, skittering invation, and of course beastmaster ascention. Also, you should change get another two rootbound crag, a playset of copperline gorge, and of course 4 eldrazi temple for your mana base. all your one-offs just aren't that helpful. cut chandra for another stampede, and drop conscription, artisan and crusher for 3 hands or a just raise one of those three eldrazi to 3. also, all is dust could help alot once you've got a bunch of spawn. Hope i helped.
as long as your running black lotus, why not run EVERY OVERPOWERED CARD EVER. such as glimpse the unthinkable, underground sea, archive trap, tome scour, damnation, Jtm, and the other ones i've forgot simply because they're to expensive. and if you have grindstone, where's painter's servant? hope i helped.
ya, i was actualy just thinking that pox is kinda suicide with this... i'll take all of your advice, even though i usualy wouldn't think about lowering the liege count. Thanks a bunch. i'll let you know if it helps.
4 thrun? u do realize he's legendary, right? i would drop him to 2 and add another GSZ. and this deck just doesn't look all that agro. i mean, u can play thrun quickly alright, but that's it. if they manage to get a blocker, your dead. so fit some more agro in there. i'd suggest vengevine + fauna shaman, leatherback baloth (birds, arbor, and llanowar will make the GGG no problem), goblin guide and hero of oxidon ridge, also, the swords are not very agro. especialy at 3 each. i'd cut it down to one each, if any. hope i helped
i no this is quite creature heavy for reanimate, but u have to understand how this works. entomb, merfolk looter, burried allive, or intuition puts reya in my graveyard. then i just reanimate her, and let her do the work from there. that way, this can be quite creature heavy. I still agree with u though, i went a tad overboard. but i just dont know what to cut. what do u suggest?
i've found that for me atleast, entomb seems to run best at 3. idk y. and i only have 3 dark rit simply because it sucks once you've got a looter and a reya out and u draw a rit. it'd rather be drawing reanimation targets than them. in my experience, 3-4 reanimate targets just doesn't work unless i'm simply splashing reanimate. otherwise, i usualy run atleast 7. yes, this deck is quite reanimate-target heavy, and i would like to drop some. which do you suggest? i've also been looking for a place to slip in counters, but at the moment they seam to just slow the deck down. even force of will just doesn't work to well in this 'cause i need the card advantage. i've been looking at some of the hand disruption, but once again, i just dont know what to drop. what do u suggest?
i was thinking about steady progress. the thing is, what should i take out? the hydra is a one-hit wonder. because the way trample works, it's first hit is not dulled at all by the -1/-1 counters, so it's simply a finnisher if i cant find inexorable tide. i no about core prowler, but he doesn't really fit the deck, in the sense that i have nothing to sac him to, and he costs quite a bit of mana which is a not what i need after i've layed down inoxerable tide. ichorclaw is in here because early game they may let him threw for fear of loosing or crippling one of they're early game creatures. that's insane in this deck because it needs that poison counter once i drop inexorable tide. though i am thinking about maybe swapping him for plague myr. what do u think?
i actualy had a few tarmogoyf in here for a while, but i couldn't figure out what to take out. so i dropped them to make it sixty cards. ive also been thinking about exterplate and haunting echos, but once again idk what to take out. do u have any suggestions of what to drop?
i think this looks really great, and i was going to make one myself when new phyrexia is released. but u seem to be missing a few magor things: Bloodghast, Dark Tutelage, and death's shadow. once those are put in, this deck could become a force to recon with. hope i helped!
Gerrard's Verdict may be good for this deck. maybe souls of the faultless if for some reason they get a creature out? also, where's tidehollow sculler? seems like a good exraction card. if it wasn't for the mana curve, i'd suggest identity crisis. Though come to think about it, you've probably already seen and considered those cards, being the master of extraction you are. Speaking of which, i was wondering if you could help me with my take on a bitterbomb deck. Here it is: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=173501
i understand your dislike of harrow. i didn't like it when i first saw it. but atleast try it out. i find it to be quite the mana fixer and axeller. and if u think about it, it is effectively one mana for an extra land. three mana, one of which is sacced, for two untapped mana. so that's effectively two mana for one extra untapped land. which is effectively one mana. think about it.
i'm saying that, if you want to go for a dragonstorm deck, than i understand the inclusion of dragonstorm. but if you want to go just a tribal dragon, your mana ramp should mostly consist of cards like incubator, dragonspeaker, and cloud key. what this means is that dragonstorm becomes a 9 cmc dragon tutor up, which seems a little ridiculous when with a speaker out, all your dragons cost 6 or less. though if u have a thing for dragonstorm, i understand. as for the overgrown tomb, i axcedentally overlooked the lack of black cards. my bad.
well, i think u should atleast try him. though if he doesn't work for you, i understand. and do some playtesting. i want no how this monster does. :)
this looks ALOT better. just watch out for the legend rule. i forgot to suggest one other thing: Squee, goblin nabob. i believe that's his name. anyway, he would really fit the deck.
holy shit. i hadn't seen that one before. that just shouldn't happen. ever.
you should go either all out drogonstorm or all out dragon deck, not amixture. if u want to go dragonstorm, look into boggardan hellkite, kusho the falling star, and lots of mana exel spells. if u want to go just dragons, urza's incubator and dragonspeaker shaman are a must, and u should actualy think of dropping braid of fire because the mana drains out of your mana pool before your draw step, and therefore can only be used for soulbright flamekin. speaking of which, soulbright flamekin is kinda unnecisary. i'd suggest birds of paradise instead. crucible of fire, to be honest, is overkill and not needed. harrow, in my oppinion, is much better than fertile ground. so those should be swapped. zodiak dragon is good, but doesn't cut it. go with kilnmouth dragon instead. trace of abundance isn't that great, and if you're going to be adding incubators, u might aswell drop it. and ofcourse drop dragonstorm. and your lams to be quite off. i'd suggest dropping rootbound crag for three overgrown tomb, then drop one blood crypt, one stomping ground, all four copperline gorge, and one dragonskull summit, and both blackcleave cliffs. then add in 3 swamp, 4 mountain, and 2 more forest. that should help a bunch. hope i helped!
wait... which one is the good extraction one? the one that u can play? i feel so noobish saying that...
that looks much better. i actualy ment to say reya instead of razia, because she recurs your ceratures. my bad. but trust me, if you put reya up to 3, you wont regret it. you could drop a razia for that and you should think of something to drop for another patraircs bidding. for some reason. for some reason, those guys run best at 3. hope i helped!
