Megrim / Liliana's Caress combos well with Memory Jar / Wheel of Fortune which combos with the Underworld Dreams / Spiteful Visions .
5 Manlands (6 if you count Kher Keep ) and Rakdos Keyrune get in there.
A handful of X spells and Pox takes a big chunk. Vicious Shadows and Repercussion can get nasty.
If the late-game needs it, Malfegor is a pretty brutal dude.
Oh, and I just noticed Stensia Bloodhall isn't on this list. It and Shivan Gorge get laughed at, but they're awesome.
Considering Smokestack .

nice :) sounds like he'd be a serious pain in the neck (and i mean that in the best way possible)

Death Cloud ? Sorin Markov ? Vicious Shadows ? Burning Sands ?
Also Kaervek the Merciless is very likely stronger than malfegor here...
I wish you had a better win condition so didn't have to play sketchy stuff like winds of change and puzzle box.
March 26, 2013 10:59 a.m.
have you considered any creature reanimation like Beacon of Unrest to use your opponents best cards against them?
March 26, 2013 11:10 a.m.
Beacon of Unrest and Death Cloud has been in previous versions, and might get put back in. Especially Death Cloud . I've never been a fan of Sorin. Vicious Shadows is already in and HOLY HELL Burning Sands IS AWESOME!
I'm going to pretend like you didn't say Kaervek is stronger than Malfegor. He's a Demon AND a Dragon.
Puzzle Box is sketchy but it's fun. Winds of Change might be better than you think, especially on turn one before anybody else plays a land. That, and when I crack a Memory Jar or Wheel, it's nice to draw into and play immediately.

yeah burning sands is like cracking open a fire hydrant filled with creature deck tears
Seriously though have you played with kaervek, he is so much freaking value, guaranteed to 2 for 1 at worst. And if opponents drop into the realm of about 10 life then they just can't play spells anymore.

Holy shit last night I had AEther Flash and Burning Sands up against a Bitterblossom . It was beautiful.

Just a few suggestions, Reforge the Soul is another good wheel effect. Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood are an instant win if you deal damage to another player and can help keep you alive with all your damage output being non creature based. Its almost like giving everything you play lifelink. Bitterblossom can score you some consistent blockers or attackers at the cost of life. Love this deck, keep up the good work! +! from me

On the fence:
Pyroclasm - This low level wipe could be something more efficient. Going up to 3cmc isn't a big deal here. Drown in Sorrow maybe? Slagstorm has been cut before but Anger of the Gods might be good.
Devil's Play - Red Sun's Zenith came out once upon a time for Rakdos's Return. Flashback is fun but Devil's Play could probably be something stronger.
Teferi's Puzzle Box - The box is great, but I will entertain other suggestions.
Increasing Ambition - IA often seems outclassed when the turns leading up to it could chain Vampiric Tutor into Demonic Tutor into Cruel Tutor- but when you're in topdeck mode being able to tutor for two out of nowhere is pretty sweet.

Daretti, Scrap Savant, Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath and Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker all have potential.

Considering Talisman of Indulgence or possibly Phyrexian Totem.

This is probably one of the coolest decks I've seen. Red Sun's Zenith would be cool.

I spent a good minute or two confused-ly looking over the decklist trying to figure out how you kill people, before I started actually examining the enchantments.
Death by Havoc Festival.
Brutal. Well played, sir.

Kudos for the creatureless EDH deck, +1!
Gotta ask though, whats the win con? It looks like some combination of hand discard + Megrim or punishing them for card draw + Underworld Dreams -type effects.
