Please explain this one :)

I love Unshackled! Consider Maralen of the Mornsong with Unshackled.
Opponent can't draw and receives 10 damage every upkeep!

Hehe thats really nasty man :D In this combination i think Erebos becomes really powerful :) But alone the cant drawn, search library and 10 dmg is just sick :D Sanguine Bodn also a staple for lifedrain decks man really like this one :D

Hm also use Sinister Possession a lot in my Rakdos Deck, really helps getting Rakdos out and keeping the pressure on ;)

Fun times!

Is it me or is Fate Unraveler kind of useless with Maralen? Vampire Nighthawk would be nice with Sanguine Bond.

Thought the same thing. Would rather replace Fate Unraveler with something else. Even som e simple sign in blood, that way if you need to get some card advantage you can draw, or if you have Maralen in, its a nice 2 dmg for 2 mana since oponnent can't draw cards.

I like this deck but unless you want it for the regenerate, i like virulent swipe more than necrobite

Surely I'm not the only one to notice this but you have Sanguine Bond instead of Exquisite Blood. Your deck revolves around your opponent losing life and you gaining it, hence Exquisite Blood. Either way add both of them because the combo is brutal I have it in my Vampire themed deck - http://www.mtgvault.com/sugarrush005/decks/drain-n-gain/

You should also look at some cheap CMC creatures with life link or deathtouch like Vampire Nighthawk to replace Fate Unraveller, Spiteful Returned and possibly Servant of Tymaret. I understand that you want this deck to be enchantment based so you should have 4 Grim Gaurdian too.

Additionally (now I'm not sure if you want this deck to be Modern but...) if you want some accelaration in your deck add some dark rituals or Ob Nix is probably not going to come into play with the combo of Maralen.

Otherwise good deck idea, who said red was the only burn deck.

I would change the land base to this:
4 Cabal Coffers
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
16 Swamps

You will be very happy with the mana ramp you can get with Coffers and Urborg.
I also second the idea of adding Virulent Swipe instead of Necrobite if you want deathtouch.

I disagree here. I prefer paying the extra mana of Necrobite and regenerating as well.

Too many 2-ofs, not enough 4-ofs. This deck won't be very consistent.

Satb Wound, Sinister Possession, and Dying Wish are too situational and therefore not good in the main deck.

I like the idea of having many ways to deal damage or cause loss of life without attacking. Have you considered pairing up Fate Unraveler with Underworld Dreams and/or Bloodgift Demon. It's focusing a bit more on 1 aspect of the deck but Psychosis Crawler would also work wonders with these cards. Soot Imp may also help you out too as well as Curse of Wizardry.

Sorry also going with the draw-to-damage part, Sign in Blood and Harrowing Journey are good cards to go with it. They're slightly situational but they can either help you in a pinch or potentially deal good damage to your opponent's with the right cards in play.

It's the first time I've ever done it now calm the fuck down. I've given the guy more than enough input into his deck and he advertised on one of my decks, of which I don't have a problem with, dick.

Don't fret, she is always hating :)
French women must be really pissed off all the time.
I looked at your deck, c smith 1989.
Suggested several changes, don't hate me for it.
Mainly it needs draw cards and a creature like Aetherling. Pinging your opponent, even if you have lock down, for 1 damage 20 times is slow as hell and not practical.

Advertizing is one of the few ways to get any notice on Magic Vault.
Another method...flood people's decks with views/good suggestions/honest reviews/advice.
One other method is to pick very good deck tags and interesting deck names.

Ugly, ugly deck. I'm a fan.

Only adjustment I'd make if I was playing it would be to take out the contaminated ground and dying wish and put in some direct removal like Murder or Victim of Night to help you hold off the bad guy while you get the beatdown setup. Having some removal handy is never a bad thing.

This is practically lethal! - I could also see Viper's Kiss being a good edition - especially vs. creature cards with pesky activated abilities - AND its only one mana.

it needs exquisite blood to be awesome! and maybe a few non basic lands would bump up its effectiveness?

definitly, i would drop 2 claim of erebos or 2 necrobite and add 2 exquisite. plus non basic land will always improve it slightly

I already tried to get him to change up his manabase, but no luck there. Here was what I suggested:
4 Cabal Coffers
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
2 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
16 Swamps

Gotta pick your battles. :)

Any monoblack deck will be better with Coffers and Urborg. Period. There is no denying that fact.

Love learning a new evil combo: Maralen of the Mornsong and Ob Nixilis, Unshackled it's definitely good combo for an tourney EDH deck but its probably is too slow for a legacy, vintage or modern tourney deck.
Your adding Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond is the icing on the cake with ice cream.
Here's my casual blue black version of your deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/planestalker/decks/opponent-cant-draw-or-play-cards/
