Deck Description

I am new to magic, and this is my first go at making a deck, I think you can get the jist of it from the cards. I would love everyone to offer their opinion. (I recognise it needs a sideboard, but I'm not sure what).

Edit: 24/1/2011 - sideboard added too. Tested the main deck; won consistently vs u/w control, but lost vs g/- elves. I have replaced grave titans with Bloodhusk Ritualists and tumbling magnets with mind sludge; the aim of this was taking out some of the 'control' to add some more 'burn', making the deck a bit faster and more focussed around Punishing discards with Liliana's Caress, Painful Quandary, and Quest for the Nihil Stone.

Edit: 26/1/11 - decided to focus the deck around Q.f.t Nihil Stone: Swapping in 4*Sign in Blood and 2*Temple Bell to combo with discards to add counters to a late played Nihil Stone, if their hand is empty already. I can also use Painful Quandary and Liliana Vess to control their hand after turn 5-6 as well. This new deck needs testing.

If you just started then have fun getting 4 grave titans. They run at about $30 a piece.

try removing 2 of the 3 enchantments, i think its to heavy and add a few more discard and removal. you can add inquisition of kozilek or duress up to four and for the removal maybe gatekeeper of malakir or consuming vapors as its good to buy you time against fast decks. take a look at mine and tell me what you think
