Good call. If I wasn't trying to keep this deck Standard it would definitely be going in!

Thanks for the input! I hadn't considered Kabira Crossroads, but it looks like it's pretty cheap and would be a good addition. I love Serra Ascendant, such a cool card and good for these types of decks... I just didn't know where she fit into this deck! She'd probably be best used replacing the Moltensteel dragons, but I really wanted them in there. I'll have to see how it plays and see what works and what doesn't and go from there.
Thanks for the tip! I totally agree with you and would like to run Tempered Steel in here. Honestly the only reason it's not in here is because I didn't feel like forking over the money for them!
I really like this deck. My concerns would be lack of removal and flying defense, but like you said in a previous comment: the purists should stop just about anything that gets thrown at you. I also find it interesting that you only included 2 Training Grounds. I haven't played it or anything, but it looks like the toughest part of playing this deck would be the expense of getting the first level on a creature. After that you could just proliferate to your heart's desire. Here's a somewhat similar leveler deck I made: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=174784
I love decks with simple themes like this! Have you considered adding White Sun's Zenith?
Thanks for the input! I agree, for sure. Unfortunately I only own one Vens and he's tied up in a Leveler deck. If I come across another or decide to shell out the money for one he's definitely going in here.
Oh and I wanted to point out a potential early game threat here: Ichorclaw Myr with a Claws of Valakut on turn 3. That's 4 poison counters or 6 first strike damage if blocked.
Thanks for the input! I agree that it would benefit from some black and green, but the challenge for better or worse - was to create a mono-red infect deck. Yeah it's definitely a slow deck. If you have any suggestions to speed it up I am open to them. One thought I had was to replace the Volt Charges with Lightning Bolts since the 2 extra mana to proliferate probably isn't worth it. I could also possibly add a couple Copper Myrs.
I love the idea of an all-white battlecry deck. Here's a similar one I made: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=159451
I like it! I had an idea for a similar deck. My idea included Prophetic Prisms and Venser, though. Venser is nice because he can bounce the Prisms and the Venerated Teachers. And the Prisms would obviously be pretty useful for a 5 color. Of course, that would sabotage your 15 dollar price tag.
Yeah, although I'm hesitant to go over 24 lands. I am only at 23 now, so I'd probably benefit from another.
Replaced Ghitu Slingers with Flametongue Kavu.
Replaced Go For The Throat with Terminate since posting.
Thanks for the tips! Laquatas's Champion/Buried Alive would be perfect for the deck. I will have to work them in here. It is a very creature heavy deck. I would no doubt be screwed if my creatures became locked down. Any suggestions?
Note: Removed 4 Bone Shredders and replaced with Shriekmaws since posting.
