Thanks! Incorporated some of your suggestions. :)

It's decks like this that I feel are way above my pay grade.

+1 for confusing the shit outta me.

Dude, this is a really cool idea. :D

Major props.

I for one welcome our new frog overlords.

I like to keep excessive copies of Squadron Hawks in my decks.

Y U HAVE 64 CARD? D:<

Like'd. Do you think it'll be equally effective against creature-based decks? It always makes me nervous playing decks with no physical defense. But that's just me. :]

I find that 3 is a good number. Lets you have variety, but keeps consistency on lock as well. ;D

Nice deck, but a few suggestions if that's ok:

1. There is no blue mana occurence in this deck, so it might not be considered Green, Blue, White.
2. If you look at your mana symbol occurance, you're sittin' at 20 White and 34 Green. Your lands are sitting at 12 Forests and 2 Plains. You might want to make that a little more even (since you may want to play more than one or two of the white splicers in a turn). Even with all the land getters, you might need more mana than 14 total.

My buddy plays a similar deck, and it does get pretty damn powerful, pretty quickly. But the splicers, themselves, are pretty weak. So be careful of that.

Also, you might actually wanna throw in some blue stuff (Wing Splicer adds flying, does quite a bit for flying defense).

Thanks for the advice! I definitely understand your opinion about Reassembling Skeleton, and I'll definitely swap out Dark Confidant for Phyrexian Arena when I can afford it (making that my next goal).

I was using Diabolic Tutor for a while because I just couldn't get parts of that combo out, sometimes (especially deadly when I can't seem to pull a Grave Pact to save my life), so it's just a little insurance. I'll let ya know if it works out.

And I can definitely see Typhoid Rats like DedWards was saying- I'm definitely gonna try that for some early-game deterrance. I might try throwing in Mortician Beetle again, just had bad experiences with those little guys before.

Thank you again, SWN. :]

Kill ALL the opponents!

There ya go; and thank you again. I just didn't want to be too bold by posting it upfront. :]

God that's an awesome combo. It's not convoluted, so it should be pretty easy to pull off. I need Vampiric Link x4, stat. Any other way besides Dark Ritual for you to get more mana for your buck?

I definitely see that. Low CMC decks are the way to go. This would just be punishment to play against.

Just thinking about playing against this makes me die a little. :[

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for explaining it. And I did pair Phyrexian Arena with a Deathgreeter (sac-based deck), so hopefully that'll balance it out.

I really appreciate all that. Also, that sacrifice deck you made a long while back- amazing build. My first deck after picking up Magic for the first time in a few years was a similar build- but I was able to learn a lot from looking at yours (hope you don't mind that I took a few ideas). Some of your combos were just too impressive to ignore (like the land fetches + Bloodghast, never really looked at that card that way, which is why I asked about the fetches).

I try not to ask people for this; but your opinion would be awesome considering how much money I've shelled out for just this deck- I wanna at least try to get it right. Would you mind taking a look at it when you have a few minutes?

Thank you again!

Nice, I've been wanting to do something with Slag Fiend since I pulled it from a booster. Great use of artifact sacrifice. Scrapyard Salvo is naaaaasty.

What do you think of adding in some Solemn Simulacrums?

I'm gonna go ahead and kick out Marsh Flats- Can't afford that stuff.

And yeah, I'll give it a good few playthroughs. Even when this deck was more scattered than it is now, it was still VERY challenging to beat. The only real defense was a good, fast burn deck. Burn is a bit scary if it's played right.

I really appreciate all of your help. Kinda' pulled this combo from scratch when I'd bought a Rise of the Eldrazi intro deck, and it contained Bloodthrone Vampire and Reassembling Skeleton. Just figured that's too good of a combo to ignore. It feels much more fluid now. :]

Please let me know if you ever need any help or critique- I might not be the best, but I did start playing during the original Urza/Phyrexia sets. I do have some experience, it's just really on-and-off. :D

I feel ya there. Lemme know how it fares.

What about replacing Go For the Throat with Gatekeeper of Malakir? It's essentially a double-sac for 3 mana. Since you can cast, and sac the 2/2 if necessary. Or an early blocker. It would give me so much room for activities!

And what's your stance on "deck thinning" cards like Marsh Flats or Verdant Catacombs? Since I can't afford those (they're the only cards in this deck that I don't physically have), would Terramorphic Expanse be just as useful, even though the land comes into play tapped?
