K. I took out the deathrenders for pandemoniums, that was a good call. Kiln fiend would be nice except that I don't want to get away from the phoenix creatures. I had the firemane angel and hedron field purists in here, but I took them out for that reason.

As I look at the deck closer, I realize it would not work on your mana givers; however it still could be worth a look.
Yeah try putting those in, but maybe sideboard Iona's Judgement. It would be useful against decks that rely on specific cards to be successful like the titan ramps.
Steel of the Godhead would be pretty wicked awesome in here as well. Its cheap to play so you could use it without the sovereigns if you wanted to, and whatever creature its attached to would get +2/+2, lifelink and become unblockable. Easy win if you use it when Rafiq of the Many is on the field.
Iona's judgement is a little slow, and by the time you have five mana you'll probably want to use it on an angel. Maybe replace it with a one or two cost defensive spell like pacifism or even a life gain like rest for the weary, also consider removing one of the serra angel and/or shepherd of the lost for some lower cost cards as well. I really like this deck, I had actually thought about making a prison type deck with angels that had a splash of blue in it. I guess the only thing you should keep in mind is that you will be just fine about the time you hit 4 or 5 mana but until then, you should do all you can to stall.
Consider trading the nature's claims for gleeful sabotages. With the emphasis on getting out a lot of creatures, you'll have more than enough to copy it as many times as you need and still have creatures left to use. And remove the beast attack, too costly for only two beasts. Maybe add another rampaging baloths at least. Also if someone you want to help me out with either my rise from the ashes or landfall (all hail the woodcrasher :D ) it would be greatly appreciated.
Congrats dude on a 100 decks, that's quite the milestone. I wish I could have achieved the quality of deck building that you have. 1. Favorite card has to be pillory of the sleepless because I have annoyed more than one player by playing three or four of them at a time. 2. I'm really trying to get my phoenix deck to be something I can enjoy, and yet still have it function successfully. How do you create that flow with a creature type that doesn't really...flow? lol. How did get your decks out there so that you could get the feedback to help you create these terrifyingly awesome concoctions? 3. Favorite 3 decks: Elves and Wolves, Cry me a river, and Intereo In Obscurum. Congrats again. Keep up the good work.
Also if you ever decide not to make this type 1, and decide to add in the dark rituals; also think about temporal extortion.
I think Gul Draz vampire over Viscera seer would be a good addition becasue it can become a nice and cheap beat stick. I know you can't sack it outright, but I see you have many other roundabout ways of doing it, so you should be just fine. Also consider adding one more Pawn of Ulamog.
I had thought about replacing the Kuldotha Phoenix with a Shard Phoenix, but the Kuldotha is a 4/4 that I do have roundabout ways of brining back, and frankly I don't like the Shard Phoenix artwork.
I knew the phoenixes would be tough, but I had to try. Magma phoenix will kill almost all my other creatures, (unless they are equipped) but the point of the deck is I wouldn't care; by the time they die, most of my phoenix creatures will be easy to bring back to my hand, or even the playing field. This should be made easier by the slight lockdown of the white.
I know it isn't quite as versatile as most spells, but lava spike is not a bad card for a one drop.
What about primeval titans at least in the sideboard? Nice beat stick, and they can take lands out of your deck pretty darn quick.
Prismatic omen, prismatic omen, prismatic omen. And also you could look at the bringers to replace the scion. They are single colored but they can be played cheaper by using one of each color
How about a goblin sharpshooter instead of the pyromancers? Equip it with basilisk collar and it becomes insane...at least I think that works, I've heard some debate.
I want this deck. I love decks that piss off your opponent, especially the guy I regularly play against because he's one of those magic "experts." Here is the deck I built please help me out. I could use some proper advice. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=86092
All hail the woodcrasher. Throw a scapeshift down and he's darn near unstoppable. I have a bant landfall deck that uses him ramaging baloths roil elemental and admonition angel. Please check it out and comment. Its not the most consistent but it works. :D
K. Well ill put them back just in case.otherwise I do know that copy artifact will workfor sure.
Yeah it wasn't finished at the time. I was looking for three more cards, but decided to go to bed. :) Its legal now, but I am very open to recommendations; the deep-sea krakens were last minute because I realized steal artifact isn't permanent, so I just threw them in as beat sticks.
