Lol. I bet its a lousy deck, but I LOVE the idea! :D

Sweet. Very good idea. It seems like a fun deck to play. You could check out the Zubera's, as they give benefits when they go to the graveyard. If you do, be sure to include Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker, as he will bring back your Zuberas every end of turn.
Thanks. :)
Hm. Maybe there might be place for Momentomus fall in this? I saw it in xXDEM1GODXxs deck, and think that would be fun to play. :)
I've played against a similar deck, and it whopped my ass. But it had Emrakul + Everflowing Chalice in it. (The elfes made the Everflowing Chalice big quite fast, which in turn got out Emrakul.) As you only have 8 forests, I would definitively exchange Arbor Elf for Khalani Hydra. But then again, I don't understand why you have Misty Rainforest and Verdant Catacombs in this deck. Am I missing something? I personally like the Nissa-Nissa combo, and Nissa Revane is also the only thing in this deck that produces (a lot of) life, so I wouldn't change her. But I think that you can step down to 2 Nissas Chosen. All in all I think this is a fast and good deck.
Coretapper would help you with speed up the charge counters, if you can spare any walls? It seems fun to play - thumbs up! :)
Nice deck, seems like its very fun to play. I recommend 4 "Reflecting Pool"s in any deck with more than one color of mana in it. I also agree with Jaremo about using "Salt Marsh" - but since you have 4"Windfalls", the deck is not legal even in vintage, so you might aswell go for "Undeground sea". I still recommend the "Reflecting pool". :) Also, I find the "Apathy" a bit odd - but is it working out when you play the deck? I have a deck that's based on getting your opponent to draw his or her deck out and giving them pain in the process. It would be fun to try to play it against your deck. Are you on LackeyCCG, by any chance? Here is the link to my deck, "Draw and Die": http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=21036
I assume Reg means the "Intruder Alarm" / "Presence of Gond" combo? I just returned to magic after a many-year long break, and was quite happy to see this combo. Thank you. Nice deck - seems very fast
This is brilliant! What an idea!
I know "Millstone" is 1 cheaper to use than "Grindstone", but isn't it worth the extra cards it will mill? I really don't know, what do you think? Anyway, the "Grindstone" / "Painter's Servant" combo is nice in any mill-deck. :)
Nice. I was looking for a deck like this to teach my girlfriend. Would a two-colour-deck be better, to teach the difference between mana? Also, I would throw some enchantments in. Have you tried the deck yet?
If you sacrifice many Zuberas at once on f.ex. "Devouring Greed", won't the Zubera effect only trigger once, since they all go to the graveyard at the same time?
I loooove the idea, and am inspired to make a Zubera deck of my own. (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=21913) I would put more ways in to sacrifice creatures - the "Phyrexian Soulgorger" is way to slow. (Many many good suggestions in this thread.) Also, I think that there are better ways to get you're creatures back from the graveyard. Personally I like "Living death" - (especially in combo with "Iname, Death Aspect"). "Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker" as StainxOfxMind mentioned must be a mindblowing combo! (I only play with multi-opponents, and look forward to sacrifice and get them back 3 times before its my turn again.) And when you get the mass-sacrifice going - why not throw in "Dragons Appeasement" and draw cards way faster? "Grave pact" will also bog down you're opponents as you keep sacrificing. If I understand you correct: If you sacrifice multiple Zuberas at the same time, each of them will count only itself going to the graveyard, as they go at EXACTLY the same time? If that is the case, I'm going for "Goblin bombardment", "Life Chisel", "Phyrexian Alter" and "Phyrexian Ghoul".
If you add the "Heartstone" - "Pili-Pala" - "Paradise Mantle" combo, you get infinite mana, and then infinite life (or at least 50 very quick). :) (Which I didn't invent, but found here: http://www.mtgcombos.com/view.php?fid=2&tid=1151) Other than that, I really like your deck - thumbs up.
I'm just a noob, but doesn't the "Ebonblade Reaper" actually only DEALS 1 damage, so that the "Vampiric Link" will only gain you 1 life? I would think that the "that player loses half his or her life, rounded up" is an effect, not dealt damage. Other than that I think it would be nasty and frustrating deck to play against. I would throw in some "Dark Ritual"s as I do in any all-black deck, but I'm old fashioned. :)
