Because his Lotus Cobra, 4 Plains, Azorius Chancery, Emeria, and Selesnya Santuary can all produce white mana to play it.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm not fond of Inquisition of Kozilek. I haven't used it much but I think maxing out on Mind Rot, Mire's Toll, and Psychic Miasma is better. Just a personal opinion, it's up to you.
+4 Bloodhusk Ritualist. It balances out your Creature/noncreature ratio and is also a good discard creature. +2 Quest for the Nihil Stone. Nothing's better than smacking your opponent for 5 life loss every upkeep. If you've got them top-decking with Liliana and Quest in play than it's game unless they have draw power. -3 Duress. Replace them with 4 Mind Rots. It's a great card for its mana cost and Duress is very limited to what it can make your opponent discard. +2-4 Sign in Blood. Great for combos to further make your opponent discard AND is black draw power which is all but crucial in any deck. -2 Sorin. Face it, he's too slow and doesn't fit with the scheme of the deck.
-2 Rhox Pikeman -2 Steppe Lynx +4 True Conviction.
But even if all the opponents are dead the damage still isn't resolved and thus the game doesn't end, resulting in a draw.
-4 Viscera Seer + 4 Hand of the Praetors.
IMO my friend has the scariest ally mill deck that's Blue/Green. Harabaz druid + Crab umbra with more than 3 allies on the field = infinite mana. Throw that infinite mana into a genesis wave for GG.
Wall of Omens for a early-game defense and draw power via blinking it with Venser's plus ability. Glimmerpoint Stag, I found that's it's an extremely under-rated card as you can blink ANY permanent on the battlefield so again, you could blink a Wall of Omens for an additional draw or throw in Aether Adept for two bounces plus you can blink them with Venser when you get him out so it could get pretty nasty.
Hmmmm, I would replace Pelakka Wurm with something like Terra Stomper.
Oh, quick tip. Mulldrifter isn't in standard. It's actually the only card in your deck that isn't so other than that you're set ;-)
Okay....you have a Eldrazi-spam deck but you forgot the best card, Raid Bombardment.
Cerebral eruption is best in a high cmc deck such as eldrazi. My friend revealed into a Pathrazer and stomped my platinum angel today :C
I'm fairly certain that Spawnsire's ability only targets Eldrazi spells from your sideboard, not just laying aside....
Oh and he also had an Out-of-standard version of the deck that ran Myco-synth Lattice and Darksteel Forge with Indomitable Archangel and he literally couldn't lose unless someone used global REMOVAL as all his stuff had shroud because of Archangel, everything he had was indestructable, he had an Angel on the field so milling/poison/etc. wouldn't kill him, and all he had to do was sit there.
My friend made a "you can't lose deck" but it was very different. He ran 4 Ornothopters, mennites, and Mox Opals and used Koldotha Forgemaster to bring out an Angel like turn 4. Also I would use semblance anvils, reducing an Angel's CMC down to 5 makes it MUCH more manageable IMO.
Wow, way to resurrect a thread from 2009 you scrubs.
Traumatize? Keening Stone? Memory Sluice?
Okay for a good valakut deck you want about a land vs. nonland balance of 1 to 1 so basically 30/30 or maybe 35 nonlands to 25 lands. -4 Primevil Titans for sure -3Cobras is fine -4 Oracle of Mal Daya's as they're creatures to block with and mana ramp as well. -4 Cultivates and Harrows along with 4 Valakuts. -Rampaging Baloths (3 is ideal to run) is scary if you throw it out early-mid game. -Lose all that RDW crap, lose the Chandra, Cosi's Ravager, Melt Terrain, Cerebral Eruption, and Searing blaze. - 2-3 Koth's is ideal.
Um.....have fun hardcasting him or getting 3 of your 8 black creatures out at once....chances of getting him out are slim to none, plus he doesn't have haste so he's wide open for a turn so have fun with that white creature control aka pacifism/arrest/journey/etc.
Maybe Semblance anvil? Imprint an Ornothopter when you cast it to make both Platinums cost 2 less, might be able to get them out faster or get multiple on the field at once for basically GG.....(Until someone fracturing gusts you in a non-standard game :D)
