Hi jarrettbeast97, Very nice deck. One of the best decks you've posted. With your incorporation of some of the better suggestions this deck is looking pretty strong. Have only minor suggestions they are more see how they work for you than strong recommendatons. Test use of 1 Sunblast Angel in mainboard over using Entreat the Angels. Test 1 or 2 Snapcaster Mage over 1 or Dungeon Geist. Test adding 2 Delver of Secrets over 2 Dungeon Geists. Try 2 Surgical Extraction over 2 Gut Shot in sideboard

Hi DedWards, I see you like Torpor Orb as much as I do. Minor things might try adding 2 Dismember substituting for 2 Bone Splinters to increase chance of using Tragic Slips. Disemtomb or Postmortem Lunge in sideboard as tech against counterspell. Might experiment with adding 1 or 2 Black Sun Zenth over Fling they can be used to remove +1/+1 counters to help undying creatures gain undying again. Some people claim Volt charge is good decks with lots of counters you might experiment in adding 1 or 1 over Brimstone Volley. Would really appreciate your opinion on my standard Tainted Undying Evil Deck.

Mikestriker, Took at look at your deck and left couple comments and suggestions.
Hi Mikestriker, You ask me to look at your deck. Nice solid deck. Don't often see a goblin war drums in a vampire deck, but I see the utility of the card. Still I think Urge to Feed or Dismember might be of greater utility Some cards to think about adding Captivating Vampire instead of Markov Blademaster Verdant Catacombs 2 Dismember and 1 Tragic Slip over Volt Charge

Hi Jestrix, Interesting idea. But I think Bonfire of the Damned is technically only superior to Black Sun's Zenith when it is a miracle. As this deck has no wayto search, find, and re-order cards there is no way to hurry into a Bonfire of the Damned miracle. I also think I would prefer to use Black Sun's Zenith because it reshuffles itself into the the library. As Bonfire also is Mythic I really don't want to spring for the cost just yet.

Hi bboycesar, You asked me to look at this deck. Well I don't see anything particular wrong. Mana base is good. Nice general distribution of creature casting costs. Side board seems to address most common concerns. The only unusual thing is you don't seem to be using some of the common tricks to persist decks; Black Sun's Zenith (in main deck), Fume Spitters, Hex Parasite, all are used to remove +1/+1 counters so as to persist again. Some people also like to run Torpor Orb with Vexing Devil. Also not real sure that you are running enought zombies to make gravecrawler worth while. take a look at Front Page deck "Hell's trickery" to get an idea of a strong B/R build see link Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=329995
Don't know alot about Tribal deck rules here's what I found at one site A player's deck must contain a minimum of sixty cards, and one-third of every deck must be of a single creature type. No sideboards are allowed in tribal formats. Tribal Wars is based on the Legacy format, so all cards on Magic Online, including promo cards, are legal. The following cards are banned in Tribal Wars Legacy games: Arboria Balance Channel Circle of Solace Demonic Consultation Demonic Tutor Engineered Plague As the deck is currently no it is not tribal legal it needs 20 or more Merfolk in the deck and the current deck only has 6.
Hi enel39, Congradulations on front page. I was just about to post a torpor orb legacy demon deck when I noticed that you already had made a standard one. While I agree with you that the combos are too slow for legacy tourney environment it does make a nice fun deck for casual.
at minimum -1 Return to Dust and maybe -1 Day of Judgement personally I'd take two out of each. Remember you have Snap Caster to recast Surgical Extraction for lots of exiling fun
Nice deck Arvedin, I agree Cavern of the Souls is definately going to be used alot in all sorts of decks in the future. Your deck reminds me of my Legacy Goblins Test deck which was base on 1st Place Legacy Goblins Deck by Iain Bartolomei http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck.asp?deck_id=762175 you might also look at a couple of my goblin decks to get new ideas Goblin Deck - Legacy Test Deck Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=139785 Goblin Deck - Legacy Test Deck Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=170046
Hey Jayden_Cruickshank1, I don't know if your just tweaking my posts and reposting them or great minds think alike but this deck looks like a minor twist on my Black Sundial Deck Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=218152 If you are just tweaking decks, just say so in the intro and post a link to the deck you borrowed from it's just considered good MTG Vault manners. I've done so with a few decks that I've tweaked and you should too. If you never saw my deck before now, like I said great minds think alike.
Who puts together a deck that supposed to lose? Me, for one. I got sort of tried of seeing joke decks that claimed to be amazing and contained only Storm Crows or Camels and the occassional Bone Saw. So I set out to make the "World's Worst Deck" built so that almost any card you played would force you to lose by turn 2 at the latest and with a "lucky" draw by turn 1. Check it out at World's Worst Deck Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=194349 Cfybbdrummer has just added 4x Immolating Souleater 4x Trespassing Souleater as new ways to lose and that after taking a suggestion from clancy.oshannessy Still it is an amusing deck even if the idea is not orginal to Cfybbdrummer. MTG vault needs a little humor now and then to lighten the tone of all the serious analysis that goes on and which I am often most guilty of doing.
This is group casual play. Tourney legacy is brutal, sideboard's would eat this alive. Yeah, it might win with a good hand first game, but Duress or Force of Will + Surgical Extraction is too good for a deck like this to handle. Make something like this for gourp casual and have fun.
Hi Firemind279, Glad you like it. If you have any deck you'd like me to look at post it here.
Where are the surgical extractions???
heliosofcows, You may have a point about Venser, it is fairly costly at 5 casting cost but I find smokestack really slows down the game so much that I often have plenty of time to put enough mana sources for Venser. Also FOW is a bad idea for the deck even if you add standstill as there would only be 15 blue cards to possibly exile in the deck including FOW itself. So about 45% of the time you won't be able to cast FOW for free. Interesting idea with Leyline but Sundail is cheaper (may add to sideboard if I ever make one for this deck) and Ormi's chant is technically better. Have made changes.
