boy you should be using Setessan Tactics instead of pit fight, your creatures get +1+1

yeah, but I have to tap the creatures to use Setessan Tactics, which means no attack following the fight. Good recommendation though.

Don't know if you're aiming for this deck to be standard (I don't play standard so I have no idea what is or isn't standard at any given moment), but if not, Dark Rituals would take care of the Obliterator's cost and let you swap out some of your mana rampers for more useful creatures. Bubbling Muck also came to mind, but you'd need more Swamps for it to really help.
This looks like an awesome deck. Sometimes, it's more fun just to screw with people than it is to actually win. :D

Maybe a Diabolic Tutor would help, to help you find Phyrexian Obliterator.

Hi again DBCooper!
Interesting deck, I must say :-)
The only thought that has come to my mind is: What happens when you play against a control / low-creature deck? All those fight-spells become dead cards in your hand.
Cheers

Also (sorry for spam, no edit function), you should really consider Twilight Mire due to the high number of 's and 's a lot of your cards have.

The third rule of fight club is just be yourself, and have fun.

I agree with Telerik on the Twilight Mire idea. also like was stated while playtesting Basilisk Collar, Ambush Viper and other deathtouch things. Really good for you. Also Abyssal Persecutor instead of Desecration Demon. Things I would consider taking out Mwonvuli Beast Tracker, and 2 Sylvan Caryatids. I also think maybe moving Abrupt Decay to the main would be a good idea to get rid of things that your fight spells can't (Like my Basilisk Collar or Boros Reckoner) I will take another look at the others tomorrow buddy. And I will have a whole new gauntlet for you the next time we play. lol. As always may the draws be ever in your favor.

Here's a meta-call for you: singleton Cavern of Souls. You have seven humans, seven shamans, and four horrors. I can easily see you not running it due to the mana issues it would cause but it's something to keep in mind nonetheless.

This is a great deck - lots of fun to play, and you do feel in control more than with most control decks. +1!
As far as suggestions go, Woodland Cemetery almost never hits the battlefield untapped for me. I don't know if I'm unlucky, but I'd consider upping the land count to 21, getting rid of 1x Sylvan Caryatid, 1x Forest, and add 2 Verdant Catacombs. In my mind, that should iron out the mana issues I've had, but of course, I may be wrong. :)
Abyssal Persecutor from your sideboard would make a great addition to your deck, especially since you can deal damage to an opponent with it, and - if they're at or below 0 life - sacrifice it by having an Obliterator and your Ulvenwald Tracker fight... but I'm sure you know that. I'd take it over Vampire Nighthawk any day under these conditions.
Also, Savage Punch is better than Setessan Tactics by great lengths.

Being able to get Accorder's Shield on your Phyrexian Obliterator would be great.

I would recommend any tutor instead of the beast tracker because it costs less, also dark ritual instead of some mana ramp and cavern of souls to help get out creatures and hurts control +1

the tracker is better. afterall, the only modern legal tutor is Diabolic Tutor which does NOT cost less.

This deck really lacks a big card that helps fighting a lot: Wild Defiance. While this card first of all is a very small amount of mana, it also pumps up the creature your fighting with when you make it fight.

There are quite a few comments above disregarding the first rule of Fight Club...

I'm liking this idea, with the control aspect. I'm thinking Scavenging Ooze would be a nice addition to mine.
Here's a +1 :)

ojmandias seriously. I wish first strike were more useful here. Thanks for giving my deck a look.
