If i may make a suggestion, i'd remove 1 Far / Away and 1 Hero's Downfall and add 2 Devour Flesh . It would give you a better turn 2 imo as right now you really only have 2 Doom Blade (Pack Rat is more like a turn 5 creature, you don't want it dying without the possibility of of making a token). Otherwise +1

looks cool, but how about a way to recycle your GY or get discarded creatures back?

@shinobigarth - He can use Whip of Erebos to recycle creatures.

yeah i meant more than just that cause theres only 2 of those and he's gonna be tossing a lot of creatures. i think at the least, Whip should be in there x3.

I suggest 2 Mana Confluence instead of Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx . You have 8 sources of blue for 11 blue symbols. You are not always going to have the blue in the early game. I'm not saying your mana base is inconsistent but Mana Confluence provides a safety net. Plus , with the prior, you're running 6 total colorless lands. Bad luck will say, "Opening hand of 1-2 Mutas and Nyx, 1 swamp. with double swamp spells". Not saying this will happen all the time, I'm sure you're doing fine with mana but just suggesting a "tune up", What I would I do. Also how has Nykthos been working for you? Does it hinder you more than help you? Would you rather have blue? Say it is convenient in a game, is it's effectiveness worth it?

Other than that, I think your deck is very sweet, I'm planning on building a version of this very soon. Good job on brewing this. +1. Yes it's an annoying deck, because of Merchant and Pack Rat, but you have my respect because it's original, creative that plays Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver . =)

Thank you very much. I see too many decks at FNM that run the same junk. They see top decks in tournaments and recreate it card for card. Nythos has been paramount when generating pack rats. I don't see myself removing them completely. Between underworld connections, whip, and creatures, it generates a lot of mana. I rarely get screwed with colorless. It has happened but very infrequently. They provide more of a boost than a liability.

+1 Nice deck, I was sceptical at first but after play testing it seems solid..

Nice deck +1, but I think you should throw in that card that whenever they draw a card they lose 1 one life it's some sort of hag.

I like to run Dakra Mystic . With Notion Thief out it becomes U Tap: Draw 2 Cards.

So how useful would you say Liliana of the Dark Realms actually is in this deck? I don't mean to insinuate anything, but does it do much other than provide a swamp and count to your devotion?

well if you get her ultimate off, if you have the Whip out, each Swamp tap lets you bring 1 dead creature back, also she's good at killing annoying things.

Remember though, you have to tap the god weapons, so even still, while the mana ramp is great, you only get to whip back one creature per turn, and his deck isn't built around the whip either, but I don't mean to imply ramp doesn't help on the other hand...

Sounds great :) I was going to take it to a SCG open but was unexpectedly unable to go due to other circumstances. I'd like to see how it measures up in a competitive environment.

Psychic Intrusion Would work well with this. Maybe 2x instead of Whispering Madness
