Martial Coup definitely keeps the ball rolling, Thanks for the suggestion.

Then souls fire?
The kederekt parasite would work out pretty well, for a cheaper alternative to underworld.
Saw another guy use path to exile to trigger the trap, seems like a great idea. Could pull out the creature counter for them.
Dark ritual would speed this bad boy up alot. With a swamp and a ritual you could drop a cinder n two parasites or whatever is in your hand. My friend plays this deck with Liliana's caress and blightning in there. You may want to consider dropping sign in blood and temple bell. I think they slow the deck down... If you do make that change consider taking out the traps(since their hand won't be so large anymore) and adding barbed shocker/shocker. If you are able to hit with one of those it'll probably be endgame. BTW Spiteful visions is really good in a deck like this.
I have played a deck similar to this before, but a couple differences. Spiteful visions to pump up the parasite dmg. Terminate and lightning for creature control. Good ol blightning because its so damn harsh with liliana's out. There is a r/b elemental (sorry forgot name, from that morningtide block i think) that can turn colorless into either red or black mana. He's a one drop, but it's very useful for the trigger to kederekt parasite's ability and also translating dark ritual into mana for other spells like blightning.
I like the idea. How about terminates instead of doom blades and maybe instead of recycling the evokers use some black card to take advantage of them in the graveyard. I like it though, pretty cool.

I like the build up, but might take off a little slow though. I'm going to try to make a version that will take advantage of Beastmaster Ascension.
Based on your deck and the comments I came up with this. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=96310
I like Oculus' comment about Quest of Pure Flame. For casual, I can see cloudposts or urza's lands cheating manabarbs to pump up a couple of fireballs and earthquakes. While my friends are playing timid because of mana barbs I can stockpile lands for the big bang. Of course, it doesn't really help your deck but I might show some of my buds how to fear mana barbs also.
If you wanna go all out archer themed, maybe pull the black out. Put viridian longbows in for your death touchers. Scattershot archers don't cost much. Assuming greatbow is the key player you should capitalize on his perk with some giant growths or might of oaks to poke the opposite player in the eye when you're blocking creatures. Maybe even go elf cliche and bust out the coat of arms. I wonder if it doubles effect because of the elf match up and the archer match up.
I really like the idea, but I immediately started seeing ideas for going all elf . Probably because I'm not as familiar with the zombie cards, but mostly because elf synergy is kinda op'd. Putting archdruid in there could really help pump out more wolves for the elemental or packmaster. I have always played around the idea of using viridian longbow with deathtouch decks. I like the thornweald archer idea from rthor. Wolfskull shaman could bust some stuff out. Anyways, after the deck gets goen how would a drove of elves do? You opened my eyes to some fun ideas. Maybe even go g/w to get some fun wolves: watchwolf/tolsimir wolfblood, or stay green and howl of the nightpack.
This looks like a lot of fun. Bummer about the Safehold Elite combo wouldn't work; I would probably scrap those for a warrior or enchantment/artifact removal. Pretty sweet token deck.
