There's a guy at my fnm who plays an identical, and I mean literally identical deck to this. Usually beats me just as I'm about to get all set up ftw. Speed is definitely on your side here!

Check out the landfall ability from zendikar, it works beautifully with G/B land fetch.
Damn, I was just about to post that!
My mate used to read these two out every time he pulled one back in the day. Fighting drake and air elemental 7th ed. my actual favourite is of course lava axe though (with werebear in second)!
Make that three captain's calls...
I have a card called captains call you can have for this deck when you get back. If you read this before I tell you in person, you should check it out. Should fill that one non-soldier spot that you had left after last round of donated cards from me. Happy holidays! ;-)
Ah, it's always worth trading stacks of shit for a couple of sick cards...
Hi sorry, I been on holiday for two weeks. Yeah sangromancer rocks. I got a playset currently sitting in my vampire tribal, but I plan to move two of em over to my discard once I'm brave enough to splash out for a set of vampire nocturnus's to fill their place (thank god it's been reprinted, drives the cost down!). Yeah we usually play four player free for all and my guys hate seeing sangromancer pop up even though I don't got any discarding in that deck, so am only using half of her abilities. One thing I would say is that she always seems to go down early to burn, or go for the throat, or crappy green anti-flying stuff. However, with all the hand disruption you're gonna be dishing out that may not be such a problem. Definitely check it out though
Yeah, it's still a good card. I may have to cave in and get a set for my discard. We shall see...
Just don't forget that shimian specter does not cause 'discarding', so no combo with liliana's caress there :(
Yeah student of warfares and probably Lionheart maverick are a must. One drops are so important.
Yeah, I knew you wouldn't like wheel of fortune cause it's ancient. But this is like the new version. I'm gonna get a set myself at some point for my mono red burner. I just thought it would fill your hand back up so you can keep dropping spells like crazy for the pike.
Oh ok. Well in that case the only suggestion worth consideration is reforge the soul. What do you reckon?
Ok, that's fair enough. Another deck done then. Nice!
The first thing I would say is lose mana leak. In my opinion this is the most overrated card in magic. Just do proper counterspells, they're a hundred times better. If you're hung up on modern, just get the jace versus Chandra one. I know they're overpriced, but you seem to have money. For the same reasons, I would say ditch incinerate for lightning bolt, I mean who even uses regenerate these days anyway? Apart from that, I can only really suggest draw spells like compulsive research. Better still though would be reforge the soul, as well as speeding up the deck, it woul combo perfectly with sword of w/p. You should check it out buddy.
No worries.
Yeah, wrath/judgement same thing. I know it affects your mana symbol occurrence, but did you not want a damnation in place of one, incase you got no plains. There's more chance you have black mana anyways. W zenith is good, shoulda thought about that myself. I know they're only to sacrifice, but had you consider entreat the angels? If you can cast it for it's miracle cost its way better than zenith! Plus you get beat down options as well. As one of my friends always says 'control the skies and you control the battlefield!' u could do with some anti flying anyways cause otherwise only the board wipers can offer you any help there. You should at least play test it and worst case scenario assign it to the sideboard.
Oh, you play modern? Fair. Well in tat case it really is finished then. I can't think of anything else to add. :)
Sword works. It's expensive, but the 'green' side of what it does will leave you free to bust some more creatures or spells out in your second main phase. That should empty out their hand pretty fast, clearing the way for guul draz and quest's ability. Have you considered kormus bell? Would work excellently with sword. Take out the gftts if you do add it, you don't need them anymore with all that mega discard n beat down. Sideboard looks good. Leaves you one damnation for your other deck, and makes use of some of those cards we talked about/you had to cut from the mix before. Good build. Finished. Triple a plus dude
Ok, well that clears things up a bit. Let's begin how we did last time. Firstly, I would take one of the sorins out for the reasons we discussed before. For him I would suggest 1 damnation, and 1 wrath of god. Board wipers sorted. For this reason, I would lose the flayers, cause you won't need spot removal anymore. If its not that important, take out one or two of the dais, or a couple of the less important creatures, like butcher ghoul. This will allow space for a playset of either conqueror's pledge, or nomads' assembly. Personally I'd go with pledge, but you could try two of each... You know, I'd probably take out all the ghouls and all of the dais for a set of elixir of immortality. No draw, but limitless creatures to keep on sacrificing. What u reckon?
