I really love the idea behind Relentless Rats. My favorite decks using them also use Thrumming Stone. All of your rats get ripple 4. Also, replace Raise Dead with Call to the Netherworld (since you are useing exclusively black creatures.) Otherwise, looks very straight-forward. My two cents.

I've never really had a problem drawing the pipers. Of course, I haven't drawn one every single game, but it is consistent enough that I get one more times than I don't. Always appreciate the constructive comments! With M11, I might look into revising the deck a bit.
I have to agree with BrianBell that Kinsbaile Cavalier is a great knight card. I've got a knight deck myself and use 4 of them, but the deck is centered around Haakon rather then the knights' hallmark flanking ability. Other than that, I like the deck.
Also, I prefer the birds for the turn 1 drop, rather than the Druids which cost more mana (not much, but it can make a difference)
As many times as I've played it, I've always had the safe passage and/or vines in hand to protect my early-game. Dauntless Escort helps too, if not for early swings then to help extend things until i can get an eldrazi. Usually have a piper out turn 3-4 and eldrazi out turn after. Thanks for the comments!
I WOULd suggest putting in Doran, the Siege Tower. Makes creatures assign combat damage with toughness rather than power. Only problem I can see is that you don't have any white mana, so that could make it troublesome.
I agree with Donato, you need Snow-covered Forests, if only for the Rimehorn's ability.
Not much I can say, I like it. I think running it with only green mana isn't too big a deal. I do agree that you should switch the numbers on the Wilt-Leaf Lieges and Cavaliers, but most of your creatures will take full advantage of the Liege's benefit (thanks to hybrid mana). But that's just me.
ore doesn't carry Portal.)
Yea, I thought about doing that, but I wasn't sure what to remove in order to up their count (suggestions?) I'm going to be play-testing it for the next week or so, and I'll be changing it based on those results. Thanks for the comments. And I searched for Knights when I was building this. Some great results. Haakon and Kinsbaile Cavalier were the ones that made me want to make this thing. Mercenary Knight was kindofa random find on Gatherer. They're going to be a bitch to find though (local st
Maybe add some Hypnotic Specters. They work like Abyssal Specters, but the discard is random.
Well, you don't need white for Rhys. All the mana costs associated with him are hybrid, so if he has green, then he's good to go.
On a more serious note, you might also think about Krosan Beast (a 1/1 for four mana, that becomes an 8/8 with threshold.)
I personally think, just as a joke (or to confuse your friends,) you should add Form of the Squirrel (http://magiccards.info/uh/en/96.html) and something that would make it untargetable. I'm not sure how you'd feel using Unhinged, but if you did, hilarity would ensue. I've always wanted to see it used by someone...
I think Crucible of Worlds would be a great card for this deck.
Overall, i do like it (im a sucker for zombies; they're just too cute.) Only thing I would do is switch out Raise Dead for Call to the Netherworld. It's pretty much the same thing (mana cost is the same), except Call can only put black creatures in your hand (though that isn't really an issue here) plus has a madness cost of zero, just in case a situation causes you to discard. Just a thought.
wow, is this guy going to troll every new deck on mtgvault? i sincerely hope no one has taken him too seriously ( i find it kind of funny, to be honest). by the way, i like the idea behind this deck, Test of Endurance seems to be the win card so more may be better. the white planeswalker might also be very good for your purposes
sideboard is a little thick, don't you think?
i think it's alright, but you might take a look at some of the new shadowmoor stuff, like Oona and Memory Sluice. Take a look at a deck of mine that I made for a friend if you like http://www.mtgvault.com/viewdeck.php?did=10205
i think the purpose of the junktrollers is to put a card at the bottom of another player's graveyard and then tunnel vision them to mill their entire deck (not taking multiples of a card into account.)
