Fuel for the Cause is pretty bad. When are you going to have 4 mana open for a counterspell on a 20 land landbase while playing creatures every turn you are able?
You don't exactly play a deck where you play one creature and then sit back and ride it for as long as possible, then play the next creature when the first one dies.

A well timed sweeper (wrath of God) kills you pretty good. More card draw spells would be a good idea.

i understand fuel for the cause is terrible overall but it proliferates and as far as being vunerable to a wrath i know that to i was thinking that with the arcbound reclaimer if that happened id just bring them back but i know if i want to do that ill need to add more copies of it i was hoping to get some tips as to what to remove and what to put in

try using grim afflictions and some black suns zeniths, you should get some drowned catacomb dual manas nock out the fuels for grim affliction at least 3 and 2 Black suns zenith at least.

thanks for the tips im gonna try to work in the grim afflictions and dig around in black i was wanting to add grafted exoskeleton either for the arcbounds or mainly the triskelion i am hesistent to put in the black suns zeniths as i wouldnt want to give my own creatures any -1 counters or do you mean i should have them a sort of alternate wrath effect just in case and are there any cards aside from the fuel for the causes that anyone thinks i should just remove

hagar1337: Why would you want to be playing black sun in an arcbound deck?

i was thinking of swapping the fuel for the causes out for tezzerettes gamble and i wanted to work in a few grafted exoskeletons and 2 more everflowing chalices my big question is what should i take out like energy chamber i like it but i feel that with proliferatebeing a big thing in the deck i dont really need it what else could i take out to fit in say 2 exoskeletons and 2 chalices

i made a few changes mainly swapped out some fuel for the causes for tezzerets gambit and 2 other creatures for steel overseers

so far i can at least call it a deck and its not the worst ive ever made at FNM i played it against 4 other peoples playtesting decks and it owned but against proven decks it cant hold up im really wanting to make this a competetor id like to stay with a similar concept but am willing to listen to whatever anyone has to say

Maybe you should use Inexorable Tide for proliferation. Also Core Prowler and Plaguemaw Beast work well together if you don't mind using a little green.

just add 4 x island, 2 x thrummingbird, 1 x contagion clasp and 1 x contagion engine and prolifferate like crazy

This is almost exactly like the conversation we just had about the infect decks.

Alright, I repeat my recommendation for a Viral Drake - especially in blue. It proliferates very nicely.
