That's a nice deck, and I'ma letcha finish, but this here ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=131537 ) is the greatest G/W landfall deck of all time. OF ALL TIME. Seriously dude, no lotus cobras?

You're totally right, and I forgot about Avenger somehow (way better than the Baloths). It's a shame this deck would cost like a hajillion dollars and be only semi-competitive, because it's fun as anything.
Okay, this deck MURDERS decks without removal. Genesis wave for 13 is amazing! The only problem is people tend to scoop when they see that resolve :)
BTW, just in case anyone wondered, this deck is TERRIBLE.
Ohhh, good call. Totally didn't think of that. also protects those fragile druids. thanks!
You're definitely right. They're replacing the Talus Paladins. Another thing I overlooked was journey to nowhere, which is WAY better than explore, since It's not a dud off of Genesis Wave.
I like the idea a lot, but I think you're SOL against non-creature decks. You might want to build a sideboard with an eye toward shifting to a control suite to side in vs Pyromancer or other control decks. Also, can't run a blue deck w/out mana leak! Countering stuff is still really good.
Could work quite well. I'd worry a bit about getting the mana consistently to cast your higher CC spells though, and running out of cards (since mostly you're 1-for-1 discarding. What about sign in blood to help keep you flush with cards?
Eh, it's by far the best removal spell available to me. For the few times I run into mono-black I'm okay with 4 dead cards that are amazing in most other matchups. Doom blade is an MVP in this deck for it's ability to kill anything while I count to 10.
Thanks. Obviously the infect decks have a lot of room for improvement, but hopefully the expansions give us some new stuff to work with. Phyrexian Crusader will almost certainly make the cut over cystbearer, and may actually push this closer to mono-black.
White allies are the best allies...
Probably want something to deal with elixir of immortality and eldrazi, or anything else that would put graveyards back into the library. Have you considered ravenous trap, nihil spellbomb, or the like?
Both good suggestions. Now updated with better sac outlets!
Yeah I wasn't sure of the land count. It could be lower, but since the deck revolves around 3 cost spells to win (and ideally, more mana spent on top of that w/ magmaw and furnace), I thought it might be right. There might be room for 1-2 more spells though. Possibly a 4th magmaw.
