Nyxathid doesn't work with torpor orb/trickbind. The only abilities they work with are "when X enters the battlefield" They DO NOT work with "as X enters the battlefield" I have a similar deck here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=211823

Nyxathid doesn't work with Torpor Orb, it's not a triggered ability.
Fog of Gnats isn't a skeleton but it would fit nicely in this deck
I ran almost the same deck last week at FNM and went 1-4. Everyone where I play has 1 CMC removal and three people got a spellskite out on turn 2.
Cool idea, though it looks a bit slow at the moment. You should have at least a couple one-drop creatures like student of warfare or sidewinder sliver to speed it up. Worship also seems a little out of place though its not a bad card.
This looks really good, but wouldn't some trample be in order, or some other way to guarantee hits? How would you deal with a deck that can pump out a lot of tokens or chump blockers? Also Battlegrace Angel would be great for this, though it is very expensive.
If you can get emrakul out you probably don't have to do anything else, that's a game winner right there. Unfortunately unless your opponent's deck is impossibly slow you'll never pull emrakul before he kills you.
I like it. Made a variant here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=194329
When you restart the game with Karn you draw seven cards. Unless you have a way to discard your hand when the game restarts it won't work.
I really like your deck, I made another one based off it that I feel is a little more streamlined. I also splashed some blue for control and so I could put in Diminish, which is a great card. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=186611
you should add glistening oil, its an enchant creature that combos well with carnifex demon
good call, though more risky if they manage to get a second creature up by T2
you should add some artifact lands so that they will be affected by unwinding clock
There are a few lands you could use izzet boilerworks is like 50 cents, so you should probably just go with that also: cascade bluffs, crumbling necropolis, shivan reef, steam vents, vivid creek, vivid crag
quietus spike is better, you don't lose half your life with it
you put psionic gift and presence of gond on two separate creatures
embargo might be good if you can take the damage
primeval titan is the obvious addition though it is expensive as hell if you wanted more land search maybe lay of the land or cultivate
