Deck Challenge: Legacy Megrim

Ok so I normally don't do this but I was trying to come up with a new legacy deck when I came across my megrims so my challenge for is to build a consistent turn for turn five deck with megrim as the main win strategy. The best one will get played in legacy tournaments. Good Luck!

This is my megrim based deck.

Underworld Dreams (ug) and Megrim (m) to make them take damage whenever a card move to or from their hand.

Sign In Blood (sib) and Bloodgift Demon (bd) are used to force them to draw and take damage.

Quest For The Nihil Stone (qns) deals damage to them as their turn starts.

so my general combos for it are force them to draw and take damage (sib/bd), take damage from drawing (ud), force them to discard however you can, force them to take damage from discarding (m), then going to their turn they take more damage for not having any cards in their hand (qns).

The */* card, Mortivore, is nice since it goes off of the number creatures in all graveyards and you are forcing your foe discard meaning that they should have a good chunk in their graveyard. That and you can regenerate it for one, keeping it alive. It is one of the few cards that i dont have in there focused towards discarding since if your foe has a lot of big creatures you need to be able to defend yourself.

Also, sorry for changing the deck as often as i am right now. I have been putting a lot of work into finding the best mana/discard ration while keeping the deck cheap since I have been working on getting this deck for myself as well. I have most of the cards but am looking to make it very worthy to play.

Liliana's Caress is (arguably) better than Megrim, so in my crappy attempt at an entry to this challenge I used 4x Liliana's Caress and 2x Megrim.

I totally didn't think of Liliana's Caress. Same thing as Megrim but one less. So I'll mod the challenge a bit. The win strategy can either be Megrim or Liliana's Caress. Oh, btw DedWard I like yours best its the only one that looks like it would be a consistent turn four turn five win.

Ok so I figure this probably dead by now and the deck i like best would have to be racky54's so I will be bankrolling that deck minus the cards I already have and then play testing it in legacy tournaments.

I understand that you chosen racky's deck already (CONGRATS RACKY!) but I was bored so I decided to build one anyway... So without further ado...

I have always like Megrim/Liliana's Caress. This deck doesn't really win on turn 4 or 5 because its more meant for big alll out games, but the idea is all the same with some minor modifications. Megrim/Liliana's Caress, Warped Devotion, and Overburden made a vicious cycle if your opponent wants to play a creature. Counterspell(s) for protection, other cards to cause more damage (Urza's Guilt)

There are two http:// in your url instead of one, so no one can get to your deck from this link.
