Dying Shades. Version 9.(Thank You all for the suggestions on Version 8. )Version 8 can be found here:http://mtgvault.com/lithionlx/decks/dying-shades-v8/This version:*Adds Blood Reckoning x2*Side Boards Essence Harvest x2*Removes Gateway Shades from Sideboard.*Sideboard contains alternate win mechanic.Questions and Answers:Play Testing of Version 8 Revealed:Version 8 Is just as impressive as Version 7. Having the Merciless Eviction handy was just wonderful. Version 9 however is a strong move toward "Who wants a little" By adding Blood Reckoning. Want to see your opponent stop swinging? Drop that on the table. Reanimator, Jund, Naya, RDW.. until they have the removal they need. Their decks stop while you keep casting and keep extorting. Play Testing of Version 7 Revealed:Version 7 curb stomps RDW and can hold its own against Re-animator but found the Illusionist's Bracers to be cast and available to equip, but no real time to do it. To much priority on the field. very excited.Essence Harvests and Extort:Even if you Essence Harvest for 2. You can extort that four or five times in some cases. turning "take 2" into Take 7. A real treat is already having Exquisite Blood on the Table or the Vizkopa Guildmage. Either of them make your extorts just above and beyond.For those of you new to magic there are really only three kinds of Decks.Combo , Control , Aggro.Esper Control (is ofcourse Control)Red Deck Wins (is ofcourse Aggro)Junk Reanimator (is ofcourse Combo)Likewise Dying Shades is a Combo Deck.
When making a combo deck the focus is harmony. How many different paths can I take to get to my combo?1) Extort and Harvests into the Guildmages Ability or into Exquisite Blood.2) Play the Guildmage, Exquisite and Reckoning as soon as possible.3) Utilize your creature destruction and extort your spells always.4) Blood Reckoning in play forced your opponent to stop swinging.5) Blood Reckoning with Exquisite Blood in play, REALLY makes your opponent stop swinging.This is a Drain life deck. It is not an infinite Combo Deck. The goal is to leech your opponents Health Directly and often. The Orzhov infinite combo is in this deck, however it is considered now to be a bi-product of the actual intent.Exquisite Blood + Vizkopa Guildmage (2nd ability) + extort (or any life gain) = Infinite Drain Life / infinite Gain Life.Having Issues? Sideboard the Reckonings for Essence Harvest or Dying Wish. depending on if your losing creatures to fast or what the issue is. Utilize Dying Wish and Essence Harvest to refill life loss, Use creature destruction as required. Possible to Crypt Ghast into Lord of The Void on Turn 5.Again... Extort as much as possible.

Looks nice as always :)How about switching Devour Flesh for Tribute to Hunger? While it costs 1 more it gives you the advantage of the life-gain. Of course you won't be able to sacrifice your own pumped up creature, but doing so won't win you the match any faster. Lord of the Void seems a bit out of place, if you want a huge flying creature Griselbrand fits the life-gain theme and gives you more cards than you could ever want.

Just a thought instead of the guild gates go with a playset of isolated chapel
