I prefer Ghost Quarter because you can use it early game and it takes card of fixer lands, and utility lands early on.

Seems like a good deck. Not sure about Avalanche Riders . you could probably find a red card that dose the same thing.But, without Echo.
Overall seem like a fun deck.

The echo isn't really a down take because you use it, blow up a land, attack. it dies, then Violent Outburst and get it back and blow up another a land, and attack again.

Michael Hetrick went 5-0 on the first day of Pro Tour Born of the Gods with Living End combo (though he did drop off on Day 2 and failed to make Top 8). Here's his decklist for reference:

Some of those lands are quite expensive, and you could very likely find some replacements for them, but I thought this would give you at least some inspiration to build a great Living End deck. His sideboard choices are similar to yours and also are sweet.

Hey, nice build. I had a build similar to this before I saved up and cracked down to get some Fulminator Mage and Verdant Catacombs . I'm not sure how prevalent the Splinter Twin decks are in your area, but I got stomped on last weekend by them, mainly due to the fact that they have counters. Think about a few Ricochet Trap and Damping Matrix .

Any thoughts on trying to incorporate some maybeboard inti sideboard?

This is a really cool deck! I honestly can't think of any changes I would make.

What's funny is that the only huge difference between this and the expensive Living End decks is that this one just doesn't have the fetch lands

In my opinion, you should opt to use Valley Rannet instead of Pale Recluse . The Valley Rannet lets you fetch Blood Crypt and Stomping Grounds and has more power. The only thing the Pale Recluse has to offer is its reach, which both Deadshot Minotaur and Jungle Weaver take care of. That's just my opinion, i can see where the Pale Recluse might be better (Lightning Bolt would take care of Valley Rannet), but Valley has more use.

Point taken. Only putting 1 back in for now. I like spiders : )

+1 here. My only concern with this deck is how it would deal with counterspells because if someone just counters your violent outburst or even your living end than it seems like you're out of a win con.

That is very true. I haven't played it at a competitive level yet. But that definitely weighs on my mind.

I copied your deck then splashed blue into it just so I wouldn't be copying you 100% ;P The End Hovers Over You check it out if you want! I like running Valley Rannet over Pale Recluse .

Seems good man. I would find room for tec edge or Ghost quater or something to fill the spot of fulminator mage. I really dont know much about the way living end works, thats why i wanted to playest it some.
