I'm finding more and more low to the ground aggro decks than when I first made the deck. So Murder just isn't making the cut for mainboard play. What I'm moving in is Flaying Tendrils as it provides a much better ability to stabilize against the faster meta. I am going to have to agree that the speed in which stabilization occurs is much slower than it should be. I am also moving Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet in over two of the TKS as he helps with lifegain and providing a few extra bodies. I think given a more midrange meta's the setup i had would be more optimal, but not with the aggro matchups I've been having. Lastly, Distended Mindbender is getting the axe, I don't have enough targets for it and never find the med to pull it out of the board. I will be trying different things in its place but I'm open to suggestions.
I tried it out a bit. I like it but it does seem a bit muffled. Though I don't see an obvious upgrade anywhere, other than making sure you have both Kalitas and Gonti maindeck.
I kinda felt Live Fast was weak, and in trying to think of a replacement I was thinking maybe Cryptbreaker, maybe packaged with Voldaren Pariah Flip, but I'm not convinced. Demon of Dark Schemes was good, but always seemed like at a disadvantage against the opponent's top end creature, and I wish that ETB effect was -3 instead of -2. Deadlock Trap was good... it's all kinda good, but yeah it feels sluggish somehow when playing it.

i tried my version out last night, it did okay, but i got beat to death by ulamogs and emrakuls that i failed to exile in time, shame really because i really liked playing the deck.
