Thanks :) The Dread and Vigor aren't meant to be cast, just shuffled back into the deck when they get dredged, so I'd like to keep them in the deck.

I tested the deck and I found I needed that black mana more than I initially thought. Lucky for me, I didn't have all the lands to test with and substituted some of them with black duals and grottos, so I had black to play with :p
Unfortunately (as far as I understand) you won't be able to use Rite of Replication if you bring multiple Kokushos in with the land as it's a state based thing that the Legend rule kills the Kokushos. If you hide one Kokusho with the land and then bring it back once you got enough mana for kicking the Rite, that'd work.
Just some of us show it more than others
Maybe because somewhere deep inside we're all children?
It's a pitty the Magic cards with 'hypnotic' (or similar) in the name are black (Hypnotic Cloud and Hypnotic Specter). Awesome tribal though, makes me want to try make a weird tribal :p I probably won't though as most of my 'free' time is taken up by designing my standard 'reanimator' deck and playing Skyrim :|
Maybe, but running 3 colours is difficult to balance (both green an blue are important here). But cards like Day of Judgment and Oblivion Ring would help. If white does get added, Glacial Fortress and Sunpetal Grove mite be necessary.
I'm still very much in the ideas phase with this deck. Theoretically the one swamp should be enough. Dismembers mana can be payed with life, Unberial Rites should be played via flashback (so I count it as a white spell) and Forbidden Alchemy's flashback is more 'bonus' self mill. Also Mulch, Forbidden Alchemy and Merfolk Looter can dig for the Swamp, so Viridian Emissary isn't the only way of getting it :p
That's what a sideboards are for :p I don't know how it is with your group, but we only have one player who plays a full werewolves deck, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Well, I'm trying to do my own style of reanimation. I'm trying to steer clear of mainstream decks (it's a thing I do a lot when making decks). After talking about this with a friend, I may rework this to GWU to incorporate a few of his ideas (like adding Mulch).
Lure + Obliterator = lots of fun (for you)
It acts as a 2nd 'Fog'
This was just a rough mod of the pauper deck. The pauper deck had a set of wurms and that's why there was mana ramp. Now that you point it out, I can drop the Rampant Growth and add an aura. But what aura? Hmmm...
The thing is I already own the Wurms and I'd rather have a beat stick than an enchantment. I was also thinking of reducing the Black Sun's. The Witch I'd only use in a Curse deck. I'll definitely have Doom Blades in sideboard and I may even work in Dismembers in mainboard. The thing with the Titan is I'd probably only really play 1 Heartless and an army of 1/1 Zombies is no laughing matter.
The way I see it is the combo gets a lot of lands out all at once so that when Doomsday goes off he can hard cast the big creatures.
I should try it out sometime :) I actually bought 4 of the preconstructed deck that had Creakwood Liege and Doomgape back when they came out just to get 4 of each :p
Looks like it could annoy someone, but good luck annoying me :p My friend that taught me to play Magic is our resident 'Blue Mage' and thanks to that blue's annoyance tactics don't affect me as easily :p Sadly blue is my worst colour to play with, so I can't suggest anything for this deck :(
Yes another awesome deck that (other than the rare lands) I can actually put together. How does it run?
With the few illusion decks I've faced, Phantasmal Dragon is completely useless. Also since when has Snappy (or any other card for that matter) been a 'must have'? There are no 'must haves' in Magic, just cards that will work very nicely. Because of the Phantasmals' weakness, why not add in 3 or 4 Elixer of Immortality? Also Swiftfoot Boots can help protect the non Phantasmal creatures. I'd also use Stoic Rebuttal over Negate. The hard counter is (in my experience) much better than circumstantial counter and you do have a chance at the metalcraft.
Some creatures I dislike coming out when playing against reanimator decks are Blazing Archon, Iona and Elesh Norn, but then again I tend to play mono coloured tribal decks quite a bit :p
