It's a good thing rakdos charm is so mediocre no one will even sideboard it, thus i see few problems with this deck.

Thanks you guys!
I agree that Whip of Erebos is sick with Commune with the Gods , I'm just sick of seeing that damned card. :)

i know everyone is mentioning Whip of Erebos .....and im no exception
eventually dropped 4x Sylvan Caryatid for 2x Gatecreeper Vine and 2x Whip of Erebos
literally makes everything in deck except Elvish Mystic a wonderful reanimation target. I know you hate the card...Even if you use that 2 slots for fieldwide lifelink its a great add to a deck full of giant beaters...let alone giving you a alternate strategy that doesn't affect the synergy of the deck unless you let it (and i know you're good at the game)
i mean...Korozda Guildmage even breaks it further late game....8 mana gets you a big booshy hasty creature and then turns hiim into a pile of saprolings....i mean...that's efficient as hell. And you got life back from the big booshy creature regardless.
i can understand card hate though...i still refuse to play Thragtusk and Geist of Saint Traft in any deck due to an outright hatred of the two crutches of Innistrad lol
Anyways...i shall be taking this to FNM at my next chance and ill be sure to tell you how it fares. Thanks for the wonderful idea and as always you come up with amazing ideas!

How about Reaper of the Wilds ? With her and Desecration Demon , you can scry for days.

You might want to have Abrupt Decay sided just in case you run across a white deck running a Rest in Peace sideboard.

Deathrite would not help this deck. It's garbage in standard.

DrFunk27, not true, with the Grisly Salvage it can be used to exile your own cars, and with the removal from Desecration Demon and Shadowborn Demon it can get some more life.
I would drop the Korozda Guildmage for 4 Deathrite Shaman and a Shadowborn Demon , a Desecration Demon , a Nighthowler , and a Nemesis of Mortals for 4 Commune with the Gods

CW Deathrite Shaman was created as an eternal card and is much to weak for the current meta. It's not even used in G/B builds.

I'd second Abrupt Decay . Perhaps cut two Korozda Guildmage ?
My main concern is that there's no direct mainboard removal.

I think I understand where the suggestion for Deathrite Shaman is coming from. The idea seems to be to take advantage of the non-creature cards that end up in the graveyard.
There's a similar deck by Conley Woods that uses DRS and Drown in Filth to make use of those non-creature cards.

Nice deck, although I feel like Whip of Erebos should replace Nighthowler here. Whip gives you extra use of the graveyard, as well as padding your life total. You can even throw in things like Underworld Connections , for extra card draw, and Commune with the Gods , which acts like Grisly Salvage 5-8, and can also hit both whip and connections!
