I am more likely to take out 2 more lands than put ghast in. he just doesn't have enough power for 2 mana. To me, Cull blade is a bad Guul Draz and child of the night is in the same boat as ghast.

pretty much swarm.
Where would I want to trim though?
I'd have to agree. I think raid bombardment and furnace Celebration would work really well together, that is potentially 3 non-combat damage per creature. OR You have the raid bombardment and Beastmaster's Ascension in play. you attack with say seven spawn (no counters on the BA yet). that is seven damage right there, and then you activate the beastmaster's Ascension. Ideally you would never be playing Beastmaster's ascension until the turn that you try to use it it to win anyway to lessen the chance of it being removed.
Looks pretty solid and straightforward. Looks like it might be a bit lacking in defense against anything that can take car of it's creatures. If you don't mind, have a look at my current standard deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=138709
How long does it normally take you to get the lock out?
He just lets you draw out while skipping his own turns. In a tourney most players will scoop as soon as they see the lock in order to have more time to try to win games 2 and 3.
I'd go with 4 lashes. they are too good with strobe and giant growth in your deck.
I feel like the Iron Myr are overkill with 22 lands. Maybe use Burst Lightning instead. Check out my Red Deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=137206
Is this specifically for standard or can I suggest older stuff?
Blue gives the deck draw power, which was missing, as well as access to more control elements.
Drop the techtonic edges. 20 Lands should be enough.
just a stasis deck. they are too slow now for most good decks now-a-days.
updated the zombie lords
better name description but it doesn';t really have a solid strategy, just a bunch of slightly similar stuff put together in random numbers. 11 creatures in an infect deck is too low.
Into The Roil would probably be helpful to you, but definitely not in place of Mana Leaks.
This is not black control. This is a black deck with a little control.
but completely Legacy Legal
everyone needs one...
I actually have most of the cards. I think I am only missing the Haakons and the Mercenary Knights. (Knights of Stromgald and Order of the Ebon hand are functionally identical.)
