.... It's the exact same thing as noxious revival except one small drawback that almost never effects the game. Not worth buying a play-set if you already own reclaim....

no no it's worth it you severely under estimate The power of Phyrexian mana!

Manofwar51 has a point break down the two cards
both bring a card back from the graveyard to the top of library and cost one green to activate
However Noxious revival has the bonus of being Phyrexian green. So even in a mono blue deck you can still play the card by paying the two life for it. For legacy losing 8 life to get the card you need is worth the risk

Thank you grennysohail, for seeing my point but even in a green deck the ability to pay life hence not paying any mana meaning 0 casting cost? Phan7asm you are looking at cards like a fool not seeing how great hey are take Fervent Denial for example it counters a spell for 5 mana now look at Force of Will it also counters a spell for 5 mana though Force of Will is a thousand times better. do the math read the damn cards and you might grow a brain.

I never said noxious revival wasn't a bad card, I'm just saying it reclaim isn't as bad as you claimed in your first comment, "WTF Reclaim? is the shittiest card EVER! run Noxious Revival is a shit ton better! legacy playable even." I'm not trying to argue with you but reclaim is not a bad card as you stated. One mana either way is not a lot of mana to spend.

And yes, I agree force of will is much better than fervent denial

I like this deck its pretty good, but i would add some counter spells or hexproof enchantments such as asceticism to keep people from killing lab maniac other than that pretty good

I might go for a more control feel (with counterspells such as pact of negation and such), then add leveler or something like it.

Nice deck.You need a way to protect Lab Maniac.

I like the combo with Lab Maniac and Ancestral knowledge, but you really do need ways to protect it. You could splash black for undying evil and disentomb, or you could find a way to give it hexproof. Maybe even just a couple more counterspells. But overall i think thatd be a very fun multi-player deck. . . until everyone catches on to what you're doing and beats your shit in. You should try adding fog bank, just about the best defender card ever made.

Thank you for commenting in my standard hord of zombies deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=353080

I like this deck, specially because of the use of transmute I would suggest some changes though so you can better protect the maniac:
-2 Lightning greaves
+2 Alexi's Cloak(Flash)
-4 Mana Leak
-2 Thoughtscour
+3 Daze(mana free)
+2 Disrupting Shoal(mana free)
-4 Youngwolf
+3 Snapback(mana free, and great for bouncing dangerous creatures or rescue the maniac)
+1 Muddle the mixture(amazing tutor)

Then do i take out green and go all blue ? is the next question ! I like some of those cards , i need to get some of those snapbacks for sure , youngwolf was more of a cheap blocker

Gnaw to the bone is amazing but I would maybe change it for Moment's Peace if you want to keep green.

I think it would be better to remove green. Put more cantrips (Make Brainstorm 4). Or go defensive, put in 4 Fog bank. And lastly, put in Cephalid Illusionist (Reacts insanely with your Lightning Greaves).

Keep up the good work!

not counting the protection he could add with a secondary color, with black you could get something like undying evil. But with white you could get cards like the angel card that pretty much phases your card, or brave the elements, or things like those.

Glimpse the Unthinkable? is kinda broken mill yourself a shit ton for two freaking mana! and Phan7asm you have GOT to start reading these cards Brave the Elements only gives white creatures protection for the chosen color not creatures you control so it's not going to help our little Laboratory Maniac friend.

Oh whatever, change the damn thing white with another card. I've been out of magic for awhile and just going by what I remember :P

Also in pure blue why run mana leak when you could just run counterspell.

0

Agreed. Same mana cost for a hard counter instead of a soft possible counter. In a solid blue deck it is much better.

You got some nice ideas in here. I like how you use Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic here :P and Paradigm shift is cool too. But I'd add Leveler here. For 5 mana you can(must) remove your library.
