I ended up taking out the wild beastmasters and ended up going with the generic standard tournament style humans. Pretty stale to play, fun if you just want to beat some people down fast.

Vorel is too slow I rather be dropping Renegade Krasis, Dreg Mangler or Varolz T3. Corpsejack just seems like overkill to me. Thanks for the suggestions though!
And regarding token cards. Lingering souls definitely has potential but other than that, this is a non-token creature based deck to revolve around Kessig Cagebreakers and the graveyard better. The wolves should provide enough sac options if the game lasts that long.
Haha, was trying to put this together right before work. Gravecrawler was definitely on the list, it just didn't cross my mind when I was putting everything in. Thanks for reminding me!
I like the idea. Take out the Faith's Shields adding another Obzedat. Use 4 of the Godless Shrines and Isolated Chapels if you have them. Essence harvest used on a Desecration Demon with Dying Wish and Murder Investigation on it would be really awesome! It is just a matter of putting those pieces together which may be hard. I'd say drop the Bloodthrone Vampire get a fullset of Bloodflow Connosieurs and Cartel Aristocrats. If your deck is running the way it should I'd remove the Gather the Townsfolk and add 1 more Lingering Souls. You will deffinitely get your tokens worth out of that card alone and then add a couple more removal spells. Vampire Nighthawk isn't a bad idea either just for what it is, but that is optional.Have fun! :)
I'm still waiting to get my Wild Beastmasters and then can start playtesting this exact version. But a similar version won the Grand Prix in Quebec City a couple of weeks ago.
I could possible sideboard Odric, although if the deck plays the way it is supposed to it crushes a lot of standard decks before he becomes necessary. Mayor is huge, with the potential of a turn 1 Champion of Parish moving into a turn 2 Emissary then Mayor or even sometimes Emissary, Emissary and then Mayor it turns into huge damage so early in the game!Thanks for the suggestions!

If it's casual I think Unexpected Results would be really fun with cascade!
After playing a very similar deck with less high costing spells. I've got to say it does matter, and although Duskmantle Seer is my favorite card of Gatecrash; it is rather useless at the moment in Standard :(. May have potential in a control build with Delvers and Augurs/Snapcasters as the only other creatures.
yeah Gauntlet of Power and he mine as well throw in Sol Ring too
Well that combo is more of a half-assed win condtition really. This deck can stand on its own without it. I dropped the Boros Elite for Blood Artist because that is obviously all around way deadlier when involved with Blasphemous Act going off or saccing tokens with Falkenrath Aristocrat/Cartel Aristocrat. The reason the tokens are in the deck is first of all to maybe get a T1 Champion and T2 Gather the Townsfolk which usually is never bad at all, the tokens set me up to get Battalion on my Frontline Medic quicker and now with Blood Artist; Falkenrath Aristocrat can get out of hand in a hurry while dealing damage and getting pumped up. Cartel is just an alternate outlet that can stay alive and still sac/as well as be part of a battalion trigger.Glad you like the deck though :)Thanks for the suggestions!
Yeah, I'm missing a Geist :( time to take the Aurelia's Fury's to FNM! haha
Abundant Growth maybe?
Good point, I did not come to that realization. I did a large revamp though; whether or not it's viable at FNM it'll still be a fun casual deck! I'll start looking at sideboard options now, avoiding boardwipes deffinitely seems to be the biggest problem.
Yeah, I guess I have no protection from board wipes. I just really liked the idea of overloading Mizzium skin and triggering Wild Defiance on all my creatures or making Biomancer huge with Increasing Savagery and then jacking up any creature that I play. But I'll look at making a bunch of changes tonight when I can sit down and look at it all again. I was thinking of Primal Surge, so maybe it is a good idea! A couple Cavern of Souls clearly wouldn't hurt as well even saving Craterhoof if Biomancer is on the field.Thanks for the feedback!
Well at the moment I'm running 22 lands and 2 chromatic lanters, plus i'm also missing 3 Dragonskull Summit and 1 Blood Crypt and it has been working well. I was thinking once I have the other dual lands I'll drop the lanterns add one more land and find some room for Rakdos' Return. I'd prefer not to drop any vexing devils though. Thank you for the feedback!
Sorry for getting back to you so late, I've only used it casually and didn't have a full set of Demonlords and missing a Liliana, but for what I had it was a fun deck to play with. Overall the deck is probably too risky because playing without a torpor orb can sometimes get you messed up.
Lets just say you end up mulliganing to 4 maybe 3 cards and still no mindshrieker, then what? Just seems unlikely. Not trying to be an ass just seems to be Mindshrieker or bust. And in a match it won't take long to figure out if they destroy the mindshrieker they are pretty safe.
I understand exalted jacks them up but maybe look for a heavy hitter like Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis. These creatures are an easy wipe with cards like BSZ.
