xD I knew someone was going to say it anyway...

I really hate to ruin what would be a great idea, but it won't work. Mountains are Basic Lands by definition, so nonbasic lands (such as Voclanic Island) will not apply. These nonbasic lands only add R mana to the pool.
One more issue: When you use Grove of the Burnwillows for R/G, all of your opponents GAIN one life. So, in essence, using Punishing Fire in combination with the Grove makes sense, but is only dealing one damange each time it hits, not two.
Er, you do realize you've rendered Valakut ineffective, right? Valakut must have mountains come into play and be in play for its effect to resolve. With this, you'll never see it do the damage you want.
I might be missing something here... Why's there only thirty cards?
First off, I like the deck, it has a nice theme to it. BUT: I CAN get through it, easily, unfortunately for you. A few ways, easily: A Spell deck, or an artifact deck will cause you plenty of pain. Spells - well, Global spells are going to toss your creatures for a row while the damage spells give you pain you can't always defend against (e.g. Ghostfire). Artifacts - Obviously colorLESS, so you're not going to be able to affect its damage greatly. Rated 5/10.
*facepalm* I knew I forgot something. Thanks, n3ffy, completely forgot about Terminate.
Oh, and deadlylist, if you don't mind, don't post a comment on my decks for someone else's deck without even commenting. Somewhat rude.
Well... I see a few issues. First, what's Stalwart Shield-Bearers doing in there? He's the only Defender creature, so he's void. Second, you don't have an "lifegain win" card in here, so you'll either have to pummel your opponent with your mostly defensive creatures (VERY slowly) or you could add a card that I've been spewing a lot lately, SANGUINE BOND. Sanguine Bond + Ajani's Mantra = a match made in Standard Heaven. And there's a lot of different creature kill spells floating around in here. Why not stick with a few good ones and keep the restart button (Day of Judgement)? And another thing: MORE Suffer the Pasts! One isn't going to do it for a deck like this, at least 2-3. Lastly, your Enchantments are just a mess, man. Stick to life-giving and -taking enchantments and you'll be fine. But this mash, especially the Strengths and Necrotic Plague, can be tossed. More Lifelinks, it's a great card, cheap and effective.
Interesting deck, idea man. Surprised that you did "The Wall" instead of "Dark Side of the Moon". :D I like the idea, but it could use some card-draw (e.g. Wall of Blossoms. Wall of Omens) and some more Flying defenders (e.g. Sunweb, Angelic Wall, Wall of Vines). Very interesting deck, though, would like to see it play. 9.1/10 " We don't need no education, We don't need no thought control, No dark sarcasm in the classroom..."
Automatically, I see AC/DC. Excellent choice for the theme, and the deck compliments it perfectly! I do have one suggestion, however, that comes all the way from the Kamigawa block: Feral Lightning. 9.5/10 "I was caught, In the middle of a railroad track, I looked around, And I knew there was no turniung back..."
Great deck! Fits the song perfectly, as well. I like the idea of a shifter deck, it can go practically any direction it wants to go, and all of your lands come into play untapped because of it. Excellent combination. "I can fake it with the best of anyone, I can fake it with the best of them all. I can fake it with the best of anyone, I can fake it allllll...."
I like the Birds of Paradise as well, but the Noble Hierarch has that one upside: Exalted. Not to mention the Lotus Cobra helps to make up for the mana slack Noble Hierarch lacks. Overall, great creature deck, though it'd be neat to see something that would devour those Saprolings from the Thrinaxes. 9/10
I appreciate it. I think the reasoning is that it's themed Foo Fighters and Skeletons, a winning combination. :D
Excellent deck, man. I agree about the Deathgreeter, but glad to see a sacrifice deck! Only other thing I can imagine that would be a great addition is the Fleshbag Marauder (SOA) for more sacrificial power, and Bone Splinters. Both effect both parties, so either way it help you.
Er, there's 6 Goblins total in here, and 3 Goblin-spawners. Other than that, neat deck, really, but why add in the Goblin Assaults? Are they there just to add a quick defense, 'cause I can't divine the reason behind it. A suggestion: To compliment the Goblin Assault, add in Voracious Dragon? He eats them and basically spits them back out at your opponent. Great addition to any Goblin-based deck.
As I've mentioned before... SANGUINE BOND. Oh, and where are the Vampires? I'm trying to see them past all the Banshees, Faeries and Bats. I understand the need for creature diversity, but if you insist on naming it Vampires, don't take this wrong, put in more Vampires. And IEatKukiez is absolutely right; Vampire Nighthawk is a great card, us it to the advantage you can. Tendrils of Corruption is really unneeded in a Vampire deck, just replace with some Last Kisses to add to the lifegain (not to mention only 2B, and would go nicely with the Sanguine Bond). Why's Snuff Out there? If you're aiming for a Legacy-type deck, there's tons of cards that can help, but that one not so much.
No problem, everyone likes to have their decks cross-examined by someone else. Speaking of which.... Check out mine too. *grins* Always looking for criticism. Oh, and as side note: if this is going to be Legacy instead od Standard, Shadowmoor has some great Auras for you, as well as some good Aura-enhanced creatures. And also check out Zur the Enchanter from Coldsnap, a great Aura creature.
The reason I didn't add the Spiritdancer was twofold: One, I was aiming to use Ally cards mainly, and I just didn't want to use a card that everyone else is prone to use. I was aiming for originality, and using the same creature that everyone else will logically use just doesn't help, even if it IS one of the best for the theme.
I disagree. I don't NEED the Spiritdancer, it would be a good addition though. And I'm not sure why I overlooked Spider Umbra, thanks. I really wish this set had a Aura-regenerating card of some sorts, it really annoys me.
