If I could give you +10, I would. I've been waiting for someone to utilize Nyxathid in this manner, and you've finally done it! All your card choices are great, including your removal package (although you may want to consider a few Slaughter Pact and or Disfigure /Smother depending on your meta). I was going to suggest replacing the Gatekeeper of Malakir for the Small Pox, but you've already noted that in the details. Again, great deck! :)

Firstly, thank you for the positive feedback :-). Secondly, I have previously considered Slaughter Pact but throughout all my games I have never particularly thought, "damn, Slaughter Pact is crucial here." Finally, I've been testing Smallpox recently but I feel that Gatekeeper of Malakir is slightly better in this deck. I will continue to playtest and let you know!

A single Bojuka Bog is absolutely amazing against Tarmogoyf or decks with Snapcaster Mage in them. Just running 1 keeps the landbase consistent enough to be reliable, and the Bojuka Bog is a bonus.

@JexInfinite:Thanks for the suggestion but I think it is better to have a sideboard ready for Tarmogoyf /Snapcaster - ie. Relic of Progenitus - instead of having Bojuka Bog mainboard. Also, It could potentially hinder my tempo by coming in tapped.

Yeah I thought about it a bit, and although Smallpox works more towards setting up your Rack effects, Gatekeeper of Malakir probably plays better for what your deck is tailored to; adds tempo by providing a body.

why dont you play Liliana of the Veil /Liliana Vess ? just for the interests

@tchau204Couldn't have said it better myself! :)
The truth is I can't afford her so I built a deck that doesn't need her. By adding Liliana of the Veil , it'd be as simple as removing most of my removal and adding in Ensnaring Bridge and The Rack .

Nice, good discard deck with alternative win.cons instead of the classic 4-8Rack combinations (which I use on Handfall (7Rack))
+1 from me... let's spread the love for discard decks! See you around.
