No problem, Blessing is an extraordinary card in this regard running just one makes people paranoid and think you have a 'counterspell' for their doom blade with just 1 red open xD

This is extremely interesting I'll give you that. But how do you protect yourself? I'd expect something like Propaganda or one more card like Evacuaiton, Engulf the Shore or something. But I have no idea how this would play, this is just a suspicion.

The only issue I have is that Thallids are slow and vulnerable to... everything. Ergo it is the best and in fact only viable strategy to get as many as you can to ensure the counters will do something.
That siad Morbid Bloom is quite a weak card.
That too being said I agree that the direction is beginning to crystallize a bit.

Ah, I hate to see a deck be so unfocused. Thalids seldom work, when they do it is because you run like 20 of them, and I am talking of the spore counter kind, the others don't count.

Hang on, hang on. No Bonesplitter? No Lightning Bolt?
Flayer Husk is great against edict effects.
Apostole's Blessing is great in decks that need their creatures alive.
Brute Force is great when playing with double strike.
Journey to Nowhere is better than arrest.
Wind scarred crag maaaaaybe? Not sure on this one...

Really?
Goryo's Vengeance + Emrakul = the equivalent of slapping someone with a moon, aka winning.
Ensnaring Bridge + Leyline of Sanctity = I AM INVINCIBLE. And once you are Chandra wins the game, slowly, not that that matters when you are invincible.

Remarkable for being under 30$, that much I will give you. But I have severe doubts as to how it would hold up against anything unfair or combo-containing. That concern is why people tend to spend a 100$ at least for a budget deck.
You could however include some discard or Painful Quandary, or make a sideboard that is entirely just white hate cards akin to Rule of Law and Suppression Field.

This was a part of a series of decks that just plainly suck. They were themed decks that bore individuals could make to have some fun.
Now that I am here I will try to do something with it however.

Fair enough, although Madness seems more like a sideboard card in this case but I don't know your meta

See, now what you have 8 creatures that get BIG and 8 creatures that don't die. That is hard to stop, that is consistency.

True, but it is not relevant to the board state, where as something like Butcher Ghoul is, in a sacrifice synergistic, board centric creature deck I think we both know which is better.
The issue then becomes whether there is another card like butcher ghoul, and Sultai Emissary springs to mind.

I would opt for more creatures that leave creatures when they die as opposed to ones that do so little as cause the opponent to lose 2 life or give something a -1/-1 counter

I can appreciate that flavor, everything is Gruul but the knights stay mono white.
Jungle Shrine?

When's Whispering Madness good? Also, why so many Extirpate-esk cards?

Hmm, seems like a more budget but worse version of both suicide black and GB aristocrats. I try to avoid decks that opt for a compromise, this I could see working however. BUT, but why play Tattered Mummy?

+1 for the name xD
From what I can see this is attempting to be a bit like jund but to go taller in a sense. Going over the deck that jund would slide under. The problem with these tends to be a diversion of focus, namely the loss of jund's ability to 'beat everything yet have no super good matchup' What I mean is that you might have a fast start that Teferi adds little to, then the early game damage you did stops mattering for 5 or more turns.

If you have done some playtesting I would love to hear how it went, because on paper it does not seem like it would work better than the heavier or more aggressive bant builds (I know it's not meant to be competitive). These decks usually opt for a fast start that never slows down, they play more leaks and paths to preserve their tempo. Or they boast of a heavier top end, one that has a more immediate and noticeable effect on the game, whereas Teferi does not.
But this is just my bored speculation.

It may.... in what setting? And what does 'work' mean in the context?
