LOL well that's only 3/4 of the decks value. :) Good Luck. At least you have the Snapcasters. Still need to acquire mine.

Very Nice deck! The swords are exactly what Geist needs to stay alive while swinging. Personally I like Rune Snag over Mana Leak which I know is going against what the majority of control players think. I just find it's more effective late game when opponent have the land to pay 3.
First turn. Swamp- Dark Ritual- Entomb search for Gaea's Revenge- Exhume . Pretty nasty. Main problem being Entomb is a $30 card.
Looks very fun to play in a casual setting. I'd definitely switch the guild gates for Blood Crypts. If anger is in your graveyard you def wanna have a mountain.
Defiantly.with that done I would go to 8 swamps 4 Islands 4 Mountains 4 Steam Vents 4 Sulfur Falls. or add fetch's if you have them. (Pricey Buggers they are.)
opps you are modern my bad I'm currently reading 2 dif decks lol
As well since your not going modern 3 or 4 Dark rituals will be better then the cluestones all together.
It sounds great to use contagion engine that way but what else is protecting her for 2 turns? Your opponent does get to play too.
So best case scenario- Turn 1 Swamp nothing else, Turn 2 Island Spellskite, Turn 3 Swamp Cluestone, Turn 4 Land Liliana comes out on turn 4 regardless of cluestone or not with a extra land with no 1 drops to use it. Then protect her for another 3 turns to ultimate? Like I said looks fun but against any aggro deck your dead on turn 5 or 6. I have been wrong many times before so...But I think you should put the Cluestones / Keystones to 2 ofs if you wanna keep them and wurmcoil to 2 of and Add 6 burns or 6 counter spells depending on your personal play style.
Looks fun to play but a bit slow to get going in my opinion tho. (I very well could be wrong without play testing it) I'm assuming your gonna add The Chain Veil from M15 when it's released.
Anger of the Gods will be your biggest downfall, which is huge in modern right now. Pretty much any deck in modern that has the ability to cast it will have at least 3 if not 4 copies. If not that most will have graveyard hate like Graffdiggers Cage, Rest in Peace, and Tormod's Crypt. Hopefully your able to snatch them up with your Thoughtsieze's, Kozi's and Duress's. Just something to keep in mind. That being said Nice deck.
Unflinching Courage instead of Armadillo Cloak would make it modern legal.
Another thing I just realized Skyscribing would make you loose at the same time since you would both draw evenly. Perhaps a dif draw like Blue Sun's Zenith or Braingeyser.
Consider using Lightning Greaves to protect your combo creatures and Paradise mantel for an additional combo with training grounds and Pili-Pala. As well I prefer Banefire to Conflagrate since it can't be countered. This is my version I made a few weeks back. http://www.mtgvault.com/maniacalmaniac/decks/burning-water/
I like what it is made to do.
I don't see any need for apologies for helping others. If someone is upset with your apparent "tardiness" they probably don't deserve your input. In my opinion that is.
Ello Ello all. Great Idea BurtonErnie! If anyone is willing to give me some more advise on my Standard deck it's appreciated and I will give my opinions on whichever deck you post on it.http://www.mtgvault.com/maniacalmaniac/decks/hexproof-enchantment-standard/
Indeed I was simply defending the comment I made about the devils having no place in here and to use in a burn deck like mine with lavamancers .
Guess it's just me but I love my devils in my burn deck its a 1 cmc card in my graveyard for my lavamancer to eat up .
My suggestions would be Liliana's Caress, Thoughtsieze and Liliana of the Viel, and Read the Bones for some card draw.
