Very cool! Seeing the possibilities with luminarch ascending now, sorta makes me sad that I didn't take advantage of it back in the day :P

sorry for the third post, but geist of saint traft in place of lingering souls is probably a better idea. Geist with lets say 2 intangible virtues out let the angel token swing in for six
Also, lingering souls doesn't seem like it would help much because you don't get the second use out of it. maybe geist honored monk? it drops in 2 fliers with her
I would drop one favorable winds to max out on intangible virtue, yes flyers get +1/+! but with intangible they also get guaranteed vigilance. and also all your flyers come from tokens
Well as this is a pure black deck, it might not be much, but instead of diabolic edict, why not try geth's verdict? the opponent loses one life as well as the creature sac
griffin sentinel replaced with 4x spirit mantle and drop the count on nefarox and angelic benediction and run sublime archangel. Potentials to think about: Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and Ajani, Caller of Pride
If you are gonna splash green, get rid of cathedral and don't try to run exalted, with green you wanna hit hard and fast, you could use green ramp like rampant growth and farseek to get your mana fixed. and if you have m12 doom blades i would run those over murders and side board murders because they are cheaper and less mana is better. or you could go 2 and 2? your choice
I would drop 2 plains and 2 swamps and add cathedrals of war. and I agree with the above comment in terms of tormented soul but not so much duty-bound. After my experience with this deck and seeing a late draw duty-bound isn't bad, but more of the time you want something more game changing. I would drop the essence drains as they don't help too much because of the mana cost. I would recommend doom blades or go for the throats in place of murders as well until they rotate. also drop 1 nefarox, i have found 3 to be too much and drawing into him early game doesn't help. In terms of liliana, I like her, but she doesn't really help here in the synergy of this deck. I recommend Ajani, Caller of Pride and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. and I don't ever see the need for vigilance with the exalted creature as you will most of the time be attacking with only one creature, instead of the rings, I would recommend spirit mantle.
Have you thought about Sorin, Lord of Innistrad? And how is testing with it in terms of land? I personally always find that when I want to draw land I never do even though it is at 24 in my build.
I would drop the duty bound dead and add the knights of glory because protection is important, basically it guarantees you will hit when you use exalted. I teched spirit mantles for my exalted and I love it. If you ever get time, you should look at my exalted. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=369979
I see rewinds, but I don't see any mana leaks? I honestly like everything else in the deck, and since you said post M13 and I'm assuming you want to keep it standard for RtR block, then you'll just have to wait for the dual lands in RtR block to add to the current Drowned Catacomb, otherwise I would tell you to get darkslick shores.
I highly recommend mind scupt haha great two mana drop and for good blockers belltower sphinxes
Gotta say, intuitive name and deck idea! I like it, I don't think that I would personally change anything, but then again I'm not crazy familiar with this play style haha
So I like how you deal with the issue of hitting through the opponent to make sure the damage connects, but I was thinking of something simpler like Spirit Mantle. I like the amount of removal, but I feel like the amount lands you have doesn't work well, maybe it's just me but even at 24 land, I'm sometimes having issues with the mana for something as simple as a vampire nighthawk. And Faith's shield protects you from one color, what if your opponent is running more than one color? Why not run spirit mantle in it's place? Just my two cents worth, hopefully it helps! I would like your feedback on my current exalted deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=369979
Have you thought about Jace, Memory Adept, and in terms of protection of your commander, mask of avacyn? I know that mask can be expensive but hexproof is worth it
Yeah, with what you said in mind, I made some edits: -1 Worldfire -1 Tibalt -1 Phyrexian Rebirth -1 Flameblast Dragon -1 Secluded Steppe +1 Sorin, Lord of Innistrad +1 Sublime Archangel +1 Ajani, Caller of Pride +1 Angelic Benediction +1 Cathedral of War
No sheoldred? haha that card is amazing! I think you should drop kalastria for sheoldred, in my opinion. You need the sheoldred in any edh deck that can utilize black, except for maybe kaalia's because she cannot throw out the sheoldred from hand with her effect. This deck looks great! It looks like you changed the general from last time? Can't wait to play it!
Wow haha I like the build very much! It looks very different from the first time I played against it. I look forward to playing against it again! I think I have no chance at winning :) haha I will put my updated EDH online probably later today!
Thanks for the ideas, I will probably make the build more like you said, I was just waiting to get some of the cards, like a playset of the angelic, champion parish, etc. But, I like the way you focused the win condition for this deck. again thanks!
You should add Gideon, it'll help force attacks at you and more tapping will ensue!
