I guess it is just for casual. I don't like Pierce Strider costs too muchIt might be beneficial to have carddraw like Faithless Looting (would let you discard Gravecrawler)Consider Bloodghast? (Faithless Looting likes bloodghast as well, letting you play it for a landdrop)Add Reckless Abandon and other fling type spells? (Instead of the bump perhaps)

It has a snowflakes chance in hell, any black deck will rip you to shreds via removal. (yes removal exists)You don't need the spirit link, or heros remembered... if you pull off heros, then you are already winning. You just need a test of endurance card, and a way to save your creatures from dying. Pristine Talisman is fits for your ramp, Chalice of life is an alternate win condition via the flip side... etc etc
Vision isnt modern legal?
fun casual. I love looking for interesting artifacts. Doesnt that whole deck fall apart after the first few turns though?
This is still a template for my extractor decks. My favorite version to date was when I used artifacts (still not having the Phyrexian oblits) and tumble magnet-ed Emrakul to a extractor mill victory. xD
Cute, but I also added in a way to get 1 mana of every color... getting the bringer out another way.
You don't play cavern for the color, you play it for the ability to play against blue decks that would counter the few myr creatures sometimes.
Cards to consider... Inquisitor Exarch Peace Strider Batterskull and if your serious about the control part try these... Norn's Annex Isolation Cell Divine Deflection Drop these... Terminus Archangel's Light Elixir of Immortality should be replaced by another chalice of life and pristine talisman in my opinion.
Oh duh... I've been using that clock in draft, doy I'm an idiot. *goes off to wreck havok*
Also... too many creatures for prison... I mean they are win conditions instead of preventions.
Orims Chant instead of Silence... Hide/Seek should be somewhere... maybe instead of No mercy. Have you considered mana drain? the counter spell that gives you mana... I know you don't play blue but the isochron scepter... Might want to consider Extirpate instead of surgical extraction, split second matters in vintage and casual.
Scalding Tarn instead of the Shivan Reef... And use STEAM VENTS. ;)
The Red and Black version of this is wicked, old standard deck though. :(
Oh I was so naive. I've learned so much since 2 years ago. I'm working on being a proper extractor. surewhynot is my favorite magic player and my inspiration, and no one where I play understands my decks. My best one to date was extractor in the zendikar/besieged standard when I milled and extracted eldrazi decks and valakut, and controll withered under the pressure. Was awesome. Wish there was more extraction in standard right now...
It looks like the black version of my modern storm deck... only black stuff costs more and gives more mana. xD I've gotta try this...
Why make it so complicated? Pick a creature bomb or go with self mill tactics, don't try to do both at once. Gilsela for example is beast, Lingering souls, doom blade and oblivion ring for spot removal, as well as red sun zenith, Flayer of the hatebound is fun to reanimate, anything with haste that is boss like urabrask the hidden, I mean reanimate something threatening!
Other then preordain and ponder being banned.... looks interesting. wouldn't faithless looting do the same thing here?
This loses hard to maze of ith. Anyone with sculpting steel if the orb is out. And... anyone with unsummon. Doom blade... so many common counters to it. might consider that wielding pot from mirrodin that costs 0 and sacs to regen an artifact.
My version uses 3 isochrons. I use it on everything, path to exile, etc... And where is HIDE//SEEK ??!! isochron and that is a threat a turn gone and health gain!
urborg tomb of yawgmoth, great for giving everyone swamps.
