This deck doesn't have a win-con (outside of agonizingly slow beatdown), and it certainly isn't a good deck.
Casual creature destruction to befuddle the Timmy's in my circle.

It's quite fun.
Wouldn't be difficult to make it modern if one chose to.
My circle has no problem with Vintage/Legacy, and it's what I enjoy playing.

Ha, I was wondering when a fellow Dune fan would end up here. Convenient you happen to be a Magic player as well. Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to change the name here.

I've generally had decent luck drawing Vraska, but Deity of Scars and Reaper of the Wilds are my alternate win-cons. I've found that when I don't draw Vraska, I end up drawing one of them, and in my casual group they do fairly well. Reaper of the Wilds is a somewhat underrated card in my opinion. She's actually won the game for me nearly as often as Vraska's little blades.
While I am dismayed that Glissa's second ability goes to waste here, she is the perfect blocker (again, in my circle) and discourages a lot of attacks that would have happened otherwise. Unfortunately, none of the deathtouch artifact creatures are G/B (excluding Wurmcoil Engine). I'll consider switching deathtouch out for infect as an alternate win-con. Revenge of the Hunted and Taunting Elf would certainly become even more useful.

It gets rid of all of those pesky friends, fast.

Those could certainly work. Will probably add Recoil as I'm looking for more 3CMC's.

Was just going to suggest Gilder Bairn. Might help you win a few turns earlier. Obviously infinite mana would make him obsolete, but if you aren't into the whole 'infinite' thing, it's a superb alternative.

Thanks and feel free! This deck started with Scourge of Fleets and rippled out from there.

"Between Scylla and Charybdis." A Greek idiom equivalent to the modern-day "Between a rock and a hard place." The Strait of Messina, off the coast of Sicily, was home to Scylla, a six-headed sea monster living in a cliff face, and Charybdis, a mythical underwater terror who drank the sea three times a day, swallowing ships whole. To escape one, a ship was forced to sail within reach of the other. Odysseus chose to brave Scylla, losing only two sailors in an effort to save the ship from Charybdis. Practically, Scylla was a patch of shoals and Charybdis, a whirlpool created by tides thrice per day.

I run a Lord of Extinction deck (I'll post it here eventually) that's always good for a chuckle (on my end, anyway.) Also, I'd recommend Rite of Consumption as a fun surprise. And Dread Return instead of Zombify (gives you options.)
