1. Terramorphic and friends are b/c I didn't feel safe running less than 10 blue sources or 10 islands, so i use them instead.
2. Although red has more eldrazi themed cards, I prefer blue for the consistency it provides with Preordain, Selective Memory, and Brainstorm.

Switch the islands and forests numbers.

How about Mind Shatter over Painful Quandry. It just seems to be a little more versatile mana wise, and, by turn 5, you want them to discard their large drop NOW. Plus, the random discard is nice. Other than that, thank you for the black tribal! It really will help me and my friend's tribal metagame.

Ranger's Guile is good protection, but I prefer sheltering word. You gain life when normally you'd be getting an irrelevant +1/+1 (it's a fatty so I'm guessing it's already big enough). Also, Arbor Elves is usually better than Llanowar Elves.

Honor of the Pure can be taken out for Long Forgotten Gohei. Also, thank you for making this! I'm sure my friend will love it!

I know right. It's so boring to face the normal elves/goblins/merfolk/faeries. What's fun is facing all the weird tribals. If you want to play a tournament quality deck, go to a tournament. Stay away from casual.

I'd add Gloom Surgeon to at least your sideboard, as he handles any other non-burn aggro strategy very well.

Use Nekrataal instead of big game hunter. He's way less situational, even with the non-artifact/black clause, and first strike can make a difference. Also, you should probably run more Royal Assassins than Gul Draz Assassins. And if you do, run more tap effects, such as Sleep, and low mana burn, such as Lightning Bolt. The reasoning behind Royal Assassin is that you want to limit them to 1-2 creatures to ensure you are dealt no damage until Thrax can screw them. liliana can be taken out for Tribute to Hunger for a bit of lifegain.

How about stabbing pain? It taps AND kills stuff. Also, good job with the killing wave. I never noticed the synergy with Scarblade Elite.

I'd take out Tribute to Hunger and try to add in Faithless Looting or Terminus somewhere. Looting b/c whenever i play a higher land count than 23 i like to have some way to cycle through my library. Terminus though is fantastic. Other than that, good job! I've always liked B/R control and you just added the next logical step

With all that mana, you might want to add Myr Battlesphere or Pentevus (works well with proliferate).

Thunderbolt can be sided, Galvanoth removed, Devils removed, Eruption removed, Increasing Vengeance removed, and -2 Thunderous Wrath. This leaves room for Lightning Mauler, and Somberwald Vigilante.

Also, journey of discovery as well.

i would include mulch to help increase you hand count and lands in hand.

I'd take out the Curses and Flayers and add in 4x Archwing Dragons and 3x Angel's Tombs. They are lower drops and can deal quick damage. i'd also add in Furnace Scamp, as he goes well with the Lunges too.

Thank you!

Love the inclusion of Mentor of the Meek here. For additions, how about Restoration Angel. It combos well with stonehorn Dignitary and the Monk. Mimic vat works as a second copy of Seance for some of the part and Day of Judgement puts things in graves.

i second the Deadly Allures. Also, Revenge of the Hunted might be good.

I LURV GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool deck!!! however, it may be a good idea to run 2 more lands instead of asceticism to make sure you hit 4-5 mana by turn 4-5

Hi!!! I would remove 2x burn at the stake and add 2x sphere of the suns to help you get those 4 drops out sooner. also, burn at the stake is not so good when you already have instigator gang pumping many of your creatures so that would deal more damage attacking anyway. it's still a good extra win con though, so i'd keep at least 1 in.
