it's good.. helps to bring out your bigger creatures.. Another idea would be to use rooftop storm. with disciple and gravecrawler you can set up a 1 for 1(more) exchange between your mana and life.. since you can repeatedly bring gravecrawler back for free.

Hi I think you should rethink what your winning condition is going to be. If you're going for lifepoint death or library death for your winning condition. Once undead alchemist hits the table most of your work done reducing your opponents life points is wasted, as you stop dealing him lifepoint dmg, thus buying him some time to recover or to set his plans into motion. If you are going for the traditional killing method, consider taking out geralf mindcrusher and undead Alchemist. You can thin your deck that way. You should also consider taking out Disciple of Griselbrand as it doesn't add much to your deck. Unless you strategy is to draw out a long game and you need added survivability. Hey feel free to comment on my decks too! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=312453 http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=310345
Have you considered putting in a couple of cheap curses such as curse of pierced heart so that you have something to do earlier in the game? Curse of Misfortunes is a 5 cost card and you have no way to ramp your mana, which means your curses can only start to take effect on take 5/6 earliest? you could maybe take out cards like mind rot? Having 1 of it in the deck isn't going to be of much impact. You might consider putting in another creature for some warm bodies to block creatures and soak combat dmg for you.
Thanks to all who have commented or will be commenting! really appreciate the different views/cards i may have missed while building the deck. One other thing, some suggestions for building the sideboard would be great! I have totally no idea how to go about building my sideboard!
Hi yes cackling counterpart seems like something i missed totally! They would work well with acidic slime too i think.. Any suggestions what I should take out for it?
Hi I see how Venser is a really good combo. Hmm a little reluctant to spend the money for 4 planeswalker though it's likely to double the cost of my deck. What would you suggest i replace it with though?
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=310345 This started out as a land control deck for standard format. Hope i can get some advice on it! thanks everyone!!
Intangible Virtue will be quite a waste to support just 4 doomed travelers, Honor of the Pure is something I've been considering to put in just didn't know where.
You might want to consider taking out Disciple of Griselbrand, most of your sacrifice targets are you 1/1 Humans which will not net you much lifegain..
