Not bad, this is a very interesting deck. I've never seen Voracious Dragon before... o.o It has a lot of synergy, and I like the Empty the Warrens a lot. 8.5/10, very original deck.

The only thing I would do is switch out Doom Blade for Hideous End. 2 life loss for your opponent for one more B. Since you're running mono-black, it wouldn't be a problem to pay just one more black mana for it. Other than that, I like it a lot. :) Very nice job, 9/10.
Very interesting take on an Aura deck. I like the touch of Novablast Wurm, can really fuck up an opponent when it all comes together. The only problem I see is that... Well... Huh, I don't really see to many holes, considering it's an Aura deck. 9/10, my friend. o.O
I would go against Kalitas, there are better cards for less than him. He's nice, but I don't think he'll be any better than a sideboard card, unfortunately. I would say throw an Anowon, the Ruin Sage in there, and for the other Kalitas, take him and the 3 Child of Night out for Vampire Nighthawk. Nighthawk is a staple in any Vamp deck, in my opinion. Also, I would take two Blood Seekers out for Pulse Trackers. Very nice one drops that can do some good damage right away, but it's not a necessity, as Blood Seekers are great cards in their own right. The BA's were a beautiful touch, 4 is amazing to have. Drana's all right, I think her ability's a tad too costly for what it does. Makes it hard to get rid of a lot of creatues >3 toughness if you don't have the mana for it, which there are a lot of in the Zendikar metagame. You could keep her if you like her ability, and it's done you some good, but personally, I would try to get a Malakir Bloodwitch in. Little bit more of a reliable ability, along with protection, flying, and a solis P/T. Consme Spirit's nice, but I would switch them out for Tendrils of Corruption. Tendrils seems a bit more reliable, since you'll have mostly swamps on you anyway, and although Consume can target the player, you'll be surprised to notice that you'll rarely be using them to knock out the player, and they'll mostly be used on the creatures anyway. All in all, I give it a 7.6. Not a bad deck to start with, but some changes'll have to be made. I hope this helps. :) My Lord this is long... x_x
Stole my title... >.>'
Okay, thank you for the sideboard help. :) Hopefully I have some Trusty Machetes, I forgot about that piece of equipment, to be honest... All good suggestions, thanks much, I'll take them all into consideration.
I understand where you're coming from, and I completely agree. I also never stated that this was a tournament-worthy deck, all I said was that it was a standard tri-color Aura deck that I wanted to build. I respect your opinion, but it should have been said to someone who's actually considering a deck such as this a tournament-worthy deck, which I certainly am not. And also, I said this was a standard deck. I don't think I'll be running into any Tranquilities, now will I? =/
Thanks. :) I'm very happy with this deck specifically. I'll check out your deck and rate it.
Ah, my friend has a Transcendant Master! I'll try to Jew it off of him next time I see him. xD And yeah, I do seem to have many Merfolk creatures... Those would definitely be helpful. And I'm sure I have some Safe Passages and whatnot lying around. Thank you for the comment, I'll definitely take that into consideration. :)
Good luck, sir. :)
Yeah, to be honest, I would go with either Urge to Feed, or Hideous End in replacement of Doom Blade in the main deck. Hideous end is an extra of life loss for the opponent for one more B. It's not bad, I think it's a better fit than Doom Blade. Urge to Feed is just a great card in general.], giving you some well-needed counters on, say, Pulse Trackers or Nighthawks.
Ah, yes, Sphinx! You speak wise words, sir. That would be a lovely touch.
This is a decent deck. The artifacts are all very nice in there. The only thing I would think about switching up is the black creature part. I would throw a 4th Black Knight in the deck, and make it a sideboard card, because of its protection. And I think the Reassembling Skeletons are a bit too annoying to use, personally, especially since you'll want to keep your mana for other things such as your artifacts and getting Relentless Rats on the field. I think having more Relentless Rats would be amazing. xD So maybe get rid of the Black Knights and Skellies and add 6 more Relentless Rats? Grave Titan'll be your "chump blocker" creator, as Relentless Rats are always better when there's more than 4 of them, they'll become pretty frickin' huge that way. Other than that, I like the deck. Nice job. :) I hope my criticism helps.
I like this deck a lot! I have a leveler deck myself, so I was interested to see what other takes people had on it. I feel as though this deck works very well, the addition of Deathless Angel and Crystal Ball is a nice touch. May I suggest trying out Lighthouse Chronologist? He's definitely one of my favorite levelers of the set. Very nice job with the build. :D
