I like this. However, I tried three sample hand draws and on two I didn't draw enough mana or mana ramp cards to play any of the non land cards in my hand. Maybe just weird luck - becasue my third sample hand was terrific. Something to ponder.

Yeah, I know. More of a theoretical exercise than a deck that could be actually constructed. But many of the decks on this site could say the same.
In the NewPhyrixia cards there is a War Report that would fit in here. I have also alsways been fond of the Razor Hippogriff. Check them out and see what you think.
I know you said you didn't want to spend any money, but if you are planning to pick up New Phyrixia the Vault Skirge is a cheap flying crature with lifelink that should fit in nicely. The lifelink will help stall and it's cheap enough that you won't have too many pains when you sacrafice it. Check it out.
Thanks for the advise. I took out several of the defenders added more basic land and another dual land set. that should make a huge difference. check it out and let me know what you think.
Not a bad suggestion. It looks like just what I wanted. Makes the deck much more powerful. Thanks.
Interesting. Nearly every other deck I've seen with slivers has a gazillion of the things. It's interesting and unique to see a limited and targeted use of them.
You have 10 cards left for a standard 60 card deck. I'd consider adding 3 forests and 3 swamps and then 4 other dual/multi lands
Okay, so i tweaked it a little and added a couple of more cards with infect. The idea would be to stay alive long enough to kill the opponent with infect. If you have any other suggestions or ideas, I'd appreciate it.
I prefer to play 75 cards. I know conventional wisdom dictates 60 cards, but I often enjoy bucking trends, and I prefer a more robust deck. I find that if I run the number of cards based on their casting cost that it works better for me - hence the 3 Knight exemplar and not 4 (opinions on this vary among my opponents - some agree, some don't). I took a couple of your suggestions. I jettisoned the terramorphic expanse and the disentomb. And I added a few tweaks. I appreciate the constructive criticism - I appreciate you offered suggestions. Thanks for the feedback.
Not a bad deck. i like the idea and it workd nicely. i'd like to see a version in standard.
The mana curve on this deck is very high. You have 11 7+ cards, and none (except your zeo cost) under 4; and only 8 Basic lands. Not good. At the very minimum I would remove the Darksteel Collossus and replace with 2 Islands and 2 Plains
Wow, relying ALOT on counters, not many creatures to give you time to build to the Jace killshot.
Okay, tweaked once again to increase mana. This seems to be a more workable deck than previously. thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
Thank You for the comments. I put the Flight Spellbomb in to cast on the other players creatures. If I do that it makes them blockable by the Cloud Elemental or in the alternative I can tap it with the Air Servant. Haven't had the opportunity to try that yet as the four games I've played I've not needed it to win. (My opponents are mainly my wife and Kid and they don't go a lot for flyers and have little defense against this deck - to the point they don't like it when I play it.)
I know this deck is weak. I didn't realize that there were so few Green Flyers.
Okay - Added a sideboard to imporve the deck's ability to use infect.
This is really just a casual play deck and uses the cards I have available. I'd love it if I had better cards, but right now this is it for Black Flyers. I just wanted to test the concept. It actually works fairly well against my regular players (wife and kids).
I like the idea. Here are some suggestions to make it current standard and more playable. Remove: Suntail Hawk x2 Armadillo Cloak x2 Wild Griffin x2 Mesa Enchantress Heroes' Reunion x2 Rhox War Monk x2 Island x4 Seaside Citadel x2 Sunpetal Grove x2 Holy Day x4 Raise the Alarm x4 Kiss of the Amesha Add: Kor Spirit Dancer x2 Goldenglow Moth x4 Bear Umbra x2 Mammoth Umbra x2 Serra Ascendent x2 Razorverge Thicket x4 Shieldmates Blessing x4 Join the Ranks x4 White Sun Zenith x2 This should keep the deck playing as you prefer, make it current standard and make it more playable by removing those pesky blue cards that were really just slowing this down. Try it and Good Luck
I like the idea of a White infect deck. This appears to move a little slow, maybe removing the queller as suggested would be helpful and replacing with Tine Shrike would be good. This would give you some flyers and that is always helpful for both offense and defense
