So, I love Prized Amalgam, I love the "Innistrad side" of blue and I love squee and so this is something I absolutely adore.Also I like how it's still izzet in flavor, even though it's all just zombies. The experimentation and "looting" are there.I'm not sure how good it is, and frankly I don't care, cuz I just love it.The concerns:Elder Deep-Fiend: is it good here? The synergy with those "free" from-the-graveyard-creatures is there but it might be just pure win moreCUTThe inconsistancy: With every deck such as this one. A hand with just reward cards sucks and so does a hand with just enablers or Squees. And Nahiri's Wrath might well be just adding to this.
So, the idea is pretty self-explanatory I think, you discard skaabs and squee, you bring them back, that brings back Amalgams and you win. That's the general idea at least.The ideal would be:T1 Faithless Looting discarding Stitchwing Skaab and whatever, ideally squee or amalgamT2 bring back Stitchwing Skaab, discarding again, hopefully squees and amalgams and bringing your amalgams back.There, you have at least a 3/1 and a 3/3 + all the value squee gave.The deck looks to take huge advantage of Squee, Faithless Looting and Ideas Unbound. This value plus all the early game ramoval and potential board presence should work out very well. Especially considering the fact that your creatures won't die and squee plus your draw spells will take you waaaay ahead of your opponent.Control and value/midrange decks or really, any not-too-fast fair decks should be a good matchup. Many should be almost unlosable unless gy hate becomes involved.The biggest problem should be the already mentioned inconsistancy and graveyard hate but also any combo decks might be a big problem.SIDEBOARD IDEAS ANYONE?

I feel like you are correct to think Elder Deep-Fiend is incorrect in this list, it is powerful and probably has a home in Modern, but I don't think this is the kind of list.The biggest issue I see in the main is the lack of a Dredge or big self mill type of effect, as those would the best ways to fill your graveyard up with Skaabs/Squees/Amalgams. It may be worth to just play 4-8 off color Dredgers (Golgari Grave-Troll and Stinkweed Imp to be the best options) Just as ways to fill the grave up.Take a look at "Traditional" Dredge lists as other choices of card draw, Goblin Lore, Burning Inquiry and Tormenting Voice are all great options when paired with Grave-Base decks.I would also look into other Flashback spells or spells with Retrace, just to give you more options out of the grave. With the retrace spells you could add 2-3 Dakmor Salvage to supplement them (Would also help for a splash for Stinkweed Imps ontop of it all)For your sideboard, Grave Hate is definetely a bad thing for you, but without Black or Green it limits options.I would go with Artifacts as your best option, Ratchet Bomb, Engineered Explosives, Pithing Needle, as ways to stop things.Against Combo, I would say pile in on those Negates and Dispels.

THANK YOU! The dredge was something i was considering but I did not look into retrace for this one.The salvage might hurt the mana base a bit too much but I'll test that with drawing sample hands.As for cutting; 2x deep fiend and then what? Fiery Temper? Nahiri's Wrath?
With enough card draw, you can get away with 20 lands. I think you can get away with cutting Izzet Charms and Tempers. The Axes/Bolts should cover your bases on removal.
Are you set on Modern? Because this would love to run Deadapult and Strongarm Tactics. If not, a strong engine with Squees and Amalgams would be Zombie Infestation and Gravecrawlers. With Zombie infestation as a discard outlet you can reduce the number of cards like Ideas Unbound (ESPECIALLY Ideas Unbound, which is troublesome because of the double-blue-requirement. Would maybe turn your deck upside down but it WOULD be stronger, I guess. Still vulnerable to graveyard hate, but hey, you can't have it all.
Yeah, modern's the way.As for black, I don't want to splash any color and going 3color or actually even splashing a third color would bump the price up a hefty bit, which I don't want.Wait, ghoulsteed and Haunted Dead ? Yop, thank you very much! I'm gonna build a rakdos version as well.
Some other creatures that may be good in here due to their ease of returning to play from the grave would be Gravecrawler and Bloodghast. They're both low cost and fairly easy to bring back.
cute to be a budgetkeep an eye on the deck focus .the creatures are very well matched only Prizzet which I find very slow and is under the lightning . other cards however are not recyclable from the cemetery it with madness or flashbackshowever it is a great deck and a great place to start try this card : Gisa and Geralf, Gravecrawler , Hedron Crab ,Vengeful Pharaoh , Necromancer's Stockpile , Thought Scour ,Darkblast
Thanks for the feedback, the deck is not consistent enough that is true but there is unfortunately no way around that.I don't want to go into black, at least not yet. The color does offer A LOT to the deck but I believe that if I go black the deck just becomes a worse version of rakdos pox or vengevie.
I see, I understand That does not want to change the color .So I think you can choose between two roads or the red madness with type cards Avaricious Dragon, Shattered Perception ,Avacyn's Judgment , Just the Wind,Fiery Temper , Demigod of Revenge (I love this card) and you can be up to Grim Lavamancer ,Reckless Wurm , Chandra Ablaze holding the blue for counters.or you move toward blue and grind your deck whit Hedron Crab ,and zombie Undead Alchemist or card like that Hellspark Elemental , Narcomoeba , Past in Flames , Secrets of the Dead , Burning Vengeance.I'm really curious how come out have fun ;)
