Whoops, its Syphon Soul, which is different from syphon life. Syphon Life is the Retrace. Syphon Soul 2B Sorcery Syphon Soul deals 2 damage to each other player. You gain life equal to the damage dealt this way. Might be an option for multiplayer. In my similar deck, I never get over 40 life, so sovereign might be something to take out for the council. Then again, you have more lifegain than I. Also, needlebite trap is situational. Also might want to SB that. I find I don't get to use it besides in multiplayer. Try playtesting with Syphon Life (the retrace one). It's really useful late game, to keep reviving your spell.

Hey, I run a deck like this at home (not on the Vault). I like. How about... Divinity of Pride? And watch out... Don't give in and turn this into a vamp deck. There are too many of those anyway. SB: Soul Syphon for multiplayer. Syphon Life is cool. Souls of the Faultless is awesome, so you might want to make that 4. Just thinking--if you're running the priests and the wardens, you might want something that makes creatures come into play. Maybe Ghost Council? He also causes Lifegain/Loss on his own, and if you have several wardens and priests, that would be cool.
Lol. By expensive, I mean CMC. As for defense, maybe... Spellskite (if are willing to buy) or maybe dissipation field? Also, ice cage or frost breath could slow them down, but at that point in time, you're wandering away from mill and towards control.
Jace is expensive, although he does evade bolts. I don't know. Are the counterspells et al enough to slow down your opponent generally, before you get jace? Also, does the mana curve work usually? One more q: Do you usually win by infect or by mill, or either? Because if it's only by mill, you might want to replace infect with more defensive creatures. Either way, Thrummingbird was a great choice. Good deck!
Oh, and if you add red, you get this deck that's on the front page right now. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=127031
Splash black for liliana's caress and bloodchief ascension and you essentially get a deck I made (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=208433). Even with the 8 cards at or over 5 CMC, this deck looks pretty good on the mana curve. Pretty cool. Could do well at FNM, maybe a tourney too.
Jace's Archivist doesn't get nearly enough love. He is an absolute monster in any deck. Combos with so many cards. You aren't even trying to combo him, but he already combos with Jace's Erasure. Ridiculous.
Awesome deck btw caress and ascension are amazing with jace's archivist, or any windfall/tolarian winds style cards that get them discarding 4-5 a turn. That's pretty much what you're doing with red, and you're doing it really well. I run archivist with caress, ascension, jace's erasure with some tutors, counterspells, and removal for game. it's really efficient and cheap. I might want to add red for burning inquiry et al. This deck provided me with good ideas, thanks. Here's my deck link. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=208433
Nice. What are you using City of Brass, Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal for? They don't seem that necessary. Maybe just a few more lands and maybe another tutor.
Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't read the card well. Anyway, Innistrad's going to be an amazing set. It looks like the "mill yourself" thing will be a theme with Lab Man, Deranged Assistant, Mirror-Mad Phantasm, and etc. That will be interesting.
Love this deck. Umm, probably not necessary, but how about Treasure Hunt + Selective Memory? I guess Mana Severance + Selective Memory is better, but there's something cool about drawing your whole deck. Also, Treasure Hunt would trigger the maniac, since you would try to draw one when you had none. Then again, you might just want to add tutors for tainted pact instead.
Heads up. You have 61 cards due to an extra Godless Shrine. This deck controls really annoyingly. I love how mindcrank completely breaks Bloodchief.
heh. I love how you can have 2 glissas in play in this deck. That's one thing they did right with planeswalkers (for example, Planeswalker--Jace). Really cool use of Hex Parasite!
And better.
Odds//Ends (dual card). It's a good card in the right situation.
My friend ran a casual mill deck with the lich that i could not beat. Instead of Norritt, why not just run freed from the real? you should have enough mana. Anyway, with 4 pemmin's, you don't really need either. You might need to make more zombies. you might want 4 grixis grimblade. Information dealer is OK... Good deck!
there is. right next to the deck on "my profile and decks"
Yeah, I could see that. And since Loam has Dredge, you really only need to pull 1 per game, and with the Heaths and the Cycle Lands, you should be going through your deck fast enough to pull one. Loam+Sun Titan is scary.
UKTABI KONG. I'd tap that. But seriously, you should probably have at least 1, for flavor. Lol
Nice and simple. This has every good Vamp from Zendikar. You might want blood tribute, as a kind of tribal version of Tendrils.
