You have lots of etb abilities, so to maximize on those i suggest Whip of Erebos for reanimation etb. Maybe 2 copies? +1 from me

I think you're right! The lifelink will help my beatsticks accomplish that much more. I also worry that as a midrange deck, If i don't kill them fast, I'll just be too close to dead... Sooooo, What do you think should get the boot? Dissolve? since.. I don't often have that much of a chance to keep 3 mana open?

I actually think Siren of the Fanged Coast should get booted. It synergizes nicely with Kalonian Hydra , (which I think you should add more of), but is easily removed and i think people will usually not pay tribute.

As long as I have a corpse jack on the field, I'm ok. and it serves multiple purposes, It has semi evasion, and counter generation, meaning I can move counters to it, from it, sac it to Scourge if i have to. Or if the person lets me, i can just have an extra creature. It's not the most amazing thing. But it synergizes particularly well. I haven't gotten to test play it, and I know it's normally a rather weak card by itself. But we shall see when i Test play it. If it doesn't uphold, I will take your advice and kick it out.

You have a very high curve and only 4 pieces of ramp, not to mention only 22 lands which I would only ever run that many if my highest cmc was 3. I'd suggest pulling out some of the more clunkier pieces such as Herald of Torment or Elusive Krasis in favor of some ramp such as Elvish Visionary or (and one that goes very well in this deck) Gyre Sage . I'd also cut those Siren of the Fanged Coast . If you want a flyer that synergies' well then I'd look towards Cloudfin Raptor as you don't have to invest too much and it grows on its own with Corpsejack Menace .

Sooooooo.... I got into top 4 at my Local game store, we all drew since it was late, got 6 packs out of the deal.... Was really surprised how well the deck went.

As long as i drew into removal against aggro-esque decks, I wasn't too bad off, But because of the two scourges, and bioshifts, My opponents never knew what was really a threat or not, Just that giving me tokens was a terrible Idea... At one point, I took a stormbreath dragon with my Siren, simply because they didn't want my corpsejack to make it a 7/7, out of fear of me doing anything with the counters..... I had a hand full of land, and just beat him up with his own dragon and a 1/1 flyer.

Whip has proved invaluable against removal efforts, So I added yet another one! Thank you guys =)

I reckognize the value of a 1 mana flier, and Yeah, I misread herald of torment, thankfully it wasn't in there during the competition. ; However, as much as I love Elusive Krasis for a lot of reasons, Unblockable, good blocker turn (helped against boros reckoner), grows, gets damage through if I just can't get a trampler on the field. and it's a good sac for Scourge.... But i'll give 2 Gyre sage a shot in it's place, (they die to fire a lot more direct damage adn -x/-x effects... But I'll give it a shot, because more ramp would be nice.

Master Biomancer for more counters.

Golgari Charm in SB for protection vs sweepers.
