I would run Blood Baron mainboard. He's a threat to every deck, and helps with your lifegain. I can't count how many times I've lost to this one card. I would even switch Erebos to sideboard and main in Blood Baron. I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but Back to Nature is a very real threat, and you need some way of dealing with it, even though you have some Brain Maggots and Duress in there. Blood Baron is a threat even after Back to Nature drops. Agent of Erebos is kind of a waste of a sideboard card, unless Dredge is really big in your meta. I'd try to get your hands on some Thoughtseizes too, if possible. Otherwise looks really good, and reminds me of my standard deck- http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/drunk-constellation/

Thanks spiritualpizza! I do have an extra Blood Baron of Vizkopa sitting around somewhere. And yeah, he's the main reason why Devour Flesh is in my sideboard. Dredge is pretty popular in my meta but that might change soon because everyone is having an orgasm over Ensoul Artifact , so maybe I'll cut Agent of Erebos at some point. Also Back to Nature is real scary, and I might have to grab a couple Thoughtseize to prevent a catastrophe, even though it's expensive. By the way, your deck looks kickass.

Hey bro, I found your decklist. I will say that Llamadowns is my best friend in real life, and this deck does some real work once multiples of the Two-Mana Trio come out, especially Underworld Coinsmith . Often times, once Sphere of Safety hits the field, this deck will have 4-6 enchantments out, which often times spells out gg. +1

Why is Empty the Pits in your sideboard?

keattz I anticipate a fairly Thoughtseize heavy format, so in light of that and playing a few more non-creature, non-enchantment spells than I used to, I figured Empty the Pits would serve as a decent finisher. I haven't actually gotten a chance to side it in yet, though, so we'll see.

Why not Heliod, God of the Sun he makes 2/1 enchantments for constellation.

wolfwatashi I previously dismissed Heliod, God of the Sun because I found him to be too mana-intensive. Repeatable constellation triggers is nice, but I'd much rather be drawing cards from Erebos, God of the Dead . However, since the format is slowing down, I may yet fit it him in somewhere. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll test it out!
