I like the fact that you decided to take a break from the game (or at least, that's what I understood), but keep in touch with the community. I really appreciate it, because you seems quite the player and possibly have something to teach. As for the deck, it's definitely something special. Great battlefield manipulation, and awesome assortment of cards to deal with any kind of situation. What I would do here is adding Blood Artist, to fully take advantage of Grave Pact and Skullclamp suicides. I would remove fauna shamans (4 buried alive shall be enough in my opinion) or the elves (birds of paradise are enough too). Other than that, really awesome. Bravo Blackfire :)

Yes, I thought about that and about Coat of Arms, but I decided that it's better to have more Slivers instead of something that power them up. I'm really happy you're looking my decks and enjoying them!
What, no Nekrataal?
I love the fact that Jaya Ballard is in this deck. Really nice touch.
One of the best door decks I've seen. My only advice would be to play some tutor or some blue spell like intuition to fetch the door.
The Dragon is very good indeed! I'll replace the Rathi with it right away, thanks for the advice and for commenting back on my deck!
Well, for the way I thought it, you wouldn't even need to worry about enemy creatures, because that kind of combo kills you in one hit lol. It inspired me to make my own deck based on this idea, be sure to drop by one of these days and check it out :) I'm glad to be of service, and don't worry, you helped me a lot in the past too, it's the least I can do. :)
I guess you want to go land ramping. In that case, replace Ranger's Path with Explosive Vegetation, and possibly Farseek with Cultivate. Also, your lands are screwed. You have more green spells but less forests, I advise you to fix them. Also, they are too many, Hope this helps
This deck looks very interesting. I like it for having 5 colored big creatures, they are really outstanding. How do you play Progenitus with only 1 plains by the way?
Hello Beo, Want to hear my 2 cents here? I loved the idea, but I think you got REALLY carried away. Black shouldn't really be necessary, and here's why. You are using Decree of Pain to draw cards and thus make the Archivist more effective. But first off, how do you save your own creatures? And second, isn't it too much? This is what I'd do. Put in Stroke of Genius, make the opponent draw like 8 cards. Then start with the Archivist. If you got enough mana, you don't even have to worry about milling yourself, because the opponent would have the cards of Stroke of Genius already. Hope this gave you some ideas. Ciao :)
Remove Shrieking Affliction and play The Rack. Also, I fear you don't have enough burn. I would replace 4 mind rots with something that costs X. My recommendation would be Soul Burn. You also don't need the Stab Wound. Your point is to make the opponent discard, not play. And if they do, you have 4 dreadbore to control them. 4 incinerate could be handy, also you could use them to destroy creatures if you ever needed it. Hope this helps.
Thragtusk is good here. Eternal Witness is nice as well, Elvish Visionary to draw. I would focus on white creature control more than blue, adding swords to plowshares and/or condemn. Blue has the evergreen mana leaks, arcane denial, and vapor snag. But still you don't have any real win cond, so it's more useful for you having some way to destroy creatures. Also, a couple creatures with haste are necessary. Only one that comes to mind is Gaea's Revenge.
Lmao Monty Python reference
Bone Splinters is a poor choice here because of you having few creatures (and thus not being able to sacrifice one). Dark rituals could also be useful for a 1 turn taskmaster. Also, a couple Diabolic Tutor and/or Sign in Blood for fetching the taskmaster.
The deck is good, it has some interesting ideas that I've not yet seen in reanimate decks. I just don't like the reanimate spell, my advice is replacing it with something that doesn't backfire so much.
Good stuff.
It's not bad actually.
Things that could work well here: - Enchanted evening for obvious reasons. - SB circle of protection: red for burn decks (they work great against this) - Ancestral Mask and/or Yavimaya Enchantress for having more firepower - Rites of Flourishing and/or Argothian Enchantress to speed up the game In my opinion you don't need the 4 Thragtusk.
I think you might have some problem in flipping Erayo, especially if you play Rule of Law first. That way it becomes impossible. You may want to switch it with Curse of Exhaustion. Also, it seems like you have no real win condition other than small creatures. Also, this kind of deck is slow so you'd probably need some way to gain time, for example counterspells, Capsize, and Fog Bank. Please refer to my mono blue Erayo deck for other ideas, and drop a comment if you've time. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=382243
Since you're not using millstones & such, I would add a couple traumatize & broken ambitions.
