played a few contagion clasps -- not really much white proliferate to work with :/ also readjusted the creature mix a bit, the mana curve is a bit off so i may keep fiddling. thanks again!!!

sorry -- of course, the ability :) i'll look into readjusting it to take advantage. thank you!
maybe i'm being silly but i can't find a card with this name in standard?? :(
thanks, great suggestions -- i have added in both, and also cleaned up the creature mix a bit. let me know if you have any other thoughts.
Comments/criticisms are welcome
great. thanks again for your advice :)
Alright, done and done -- I've also removed black entirely as it was starting to feel like a distraction. The mana curve is now a bit off. Let me know if you have any other thoughts. Thank you!
Very cool! Some inspiration here for my own demon deck (Necropotence is a quite nice play.)
Thanks -- I have removed, and adjusted the mana weight/curve slightly. Let me know what you think.
very nice. i might adjust the mana curve a bit -- switch out some 1-casting cost spells for a few threes, other than that this is quite cool.
sweet. it could maybe use a coat of arms? i would also want some instants/sorceries.
nice! i might suggest aether vials?
As for a common theme, I've been considering it. Returning permanents back to people's hands and counterspells might round out the wizard theme a bit. Also could add more nameless ones perhaps? Love to hear your thoughts. thank you!
While this is more an exercise than anything else, most of the cost here is in the Ertai, the Patron Wizard and the Voidmage Prodigies. If you can find inexpensive replacements for those, you're sub-$40 easy.
