Thanks so much! I will definitely keep all this in mind as I tweak this deck further :D

For sure!We played a few games last night and made some pretty notable changes to the deck- I am trying to focus more on BIG SCARY CREATURES, and getting them out as fast as possible. We are definitely getting there!And yes, the Tormented Souls are nice, but they just weren't cutting it for what I want, so I am gonna run the Nighthawks and see how they do now :D I do really love that card, it's a staple in my and my partner's decks- it's just SO helpful! Plus one of the art versions totally looks like Peter Steele, so, bonus.Those are all great suggestions as well! More ammo for switching stuff around as this deck evolves, thank you!I am excited to see how this build works as it is now, and I'll have to think about adding some of those other cards. Many thanks!
PSH, scratch that, my partner just pointed out that Urborg will make the Cabal Coffers into Swamps as well :P THERE we go!
Oooo, yes! That's a nice one. Lots of stuff to try swapping around to see what performs well :DRing of Xathrid, I think I actually had tentatively in this deck for a while but I never actually ran it for some reason. Looking back at it now though I can't see why I wouldn't make use of it. Now I just need something to make my Lich able to block more than one attacker at a time and I'd be golden :P
I don't have anything with swampwalk, so I don't see urborg being much use here!I am not sure whether the Souls will stay- I have a love affair with that card though and I do want to test them out to see how they do :D Otherwise i'll look into something else cheap and fast. I'm just not sure yet what I actually want to have for lower cost stuff. We'll see! Vampire Nighthawk is definitely not a bad idea- they do so well in every deck I have had them in!Phyrexian Obliterator is 100% on board. Especially because of all his black symbols- great for my Erebos! I hope to play a few matches today and see what happens and if I want to make more changes :3 Thanks for the advice! I appreciate all the thoughts. It's hard to see all the angles from just my perspective :P
Oh that's a good item! I hadn't come across it yet, I'll probably add it :D I want to make the lich as scary as possible ;D
The beautiful, big, black deck <3 There isn't a combo really. The goal is just to get as many swamps out as fast as possible- that's the function of the walking atlas, to allow for more lands getting out than normal. Basically everything else is just meant to get more powerful the more swamps there are :D That was the idea behind building this deck, I had a slew of cards that got bigger the more swamps I had in play, so I looked for more cards that did that and smashed them together!I would like to pare it down to 60, but I have a hell of a time making decisions >.o so that's why it's at 65 in the first place. I play with a mix of real and proxy cards- I always just play casually, so our gaming group started using proxies a while back to allow for more creativity in our deck building!So, yes, this is one of my most aimless decks. Just swamps. Many, many swamps. And everything else simply builds off of that!
