don't play 4 sol ring, anyway it's illegal... it is restricted to 1 in vintage and is banned from any other format...No one will want to play against a 4 sol ring deck!!? As no one would play a deck of 15 mountains and 45 lightning bolt... you have to read the rules...so remove 3 sol ring, add a "sheoldred, whispering one", a "geth's verdict" and a "desecretion demon" and have fun!look out for the theros edition, maybe the land Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx will catch your attention... with all the devotion to black you have here.

You don't say you exile them from your hand.. but you say this : Exile 2-3 spells for Niva and swing for 7-9 Damage on turn two. So if you exile 3 spells on turn 2, you have to do it with a pact... the pact of negation can't be cast unless you can target your own spell which is possible, but in any case.... the odds I have any kind of "kill" cards is really high... swords is one of many, terror, terminate, diabolic edict, geth's edict, a simple lightning bolt will kill your guy before his + counters.... and then the pacts resolves and you lose because the second ability resolve at your upkeep, you can have any number of ways to slaughter me... 8 pacts, is 8 super heavy risks... say what you want
10/1/2012: You exile an instant or sorcery spell you control from the stack, not an instant or sorcery card in any other zone.You just CAN'T remove those spell from your hand, you need to CONTROL them... Your hand is not in play, the stack is.... Still, you can cast the pacts... for 0... but here is a funny thing... you attack, I declare nothing, you cast pact of the titan, exile it to be proud of your +2/+2... I cast swords to plowshares on nivmagus, removing the nivmagus effect from the stack, pact of the titan resolve... I winSuper risky cards... even with a lightning greaves/hexproof thing... If it is your only creature, watchout for diabolic edict
true, but I can't help but stick to the vintage rules
Well, true, you can play with anyone who accept your rules... but you could also buy a big red button written "I win" on it and press it alone :P I would never face a deck with 4 sols...
I play only vintage, so old cards are my friends :) let's say, all the family : propaganda, ghostly prison, sphere of safety, etc.. could do the trick
Ok the 2 sword thing is great then... but since you must sacrifice so much with phyrexian... and you have so less to sacrifice..... you have copper gnomes, why not blightsteel colossus? or darksteel colossus...I still don't understand the congregate, you say yourself that you don't have much creatures, you sacrifice most of yours and you exile most of your opponent's.... ghosty prison could be nice instead!
ok now I understand, 4 sol ring and 4 mana vault...yeah rightYou have to read the manual first, banned or restricted cards have rules too.
a simple card can block you, ensnaring bridge!
ok I try to understand this one...you wait and exile everything coming at you until you have a tastumasa, aluren, phyrexian and righteousness to pop all out?So you have to block an attack for the combo to work? what if he have unblockable, shadow, infect/wither?You know you can't have more than one tatsumasa in play at once?cathedral sanctifier < soul warden
true, its fast... but as any single-direction deck, you have to be lucky to make it work... and win! still, a nice deck at a fair price
..? 55 cards you need 5 more mountains.Your deck description doesn't work... how can he be 6 power, you don't have the mana to play all of these on turn 2.Hellrider is great, but since he is not a vampire, for the "theme" you could replace him by 2 vampiric fury
Good deck now!Take a look on this black drawing deck if you want!http://www.mtgvault.com/hexo666/decks/bad-dreams/
sure as a mono black deck, replace doomblade, you can't target with geth's verdict but someone will get killed for sure. Doomblade wont hurt black guys, or shrouded/hexproof or protection from black creatures...Bubbling muck is nice, but dark ritual is so much more... you can cast 2 of them at the first turn to get 5 black manas and let's say... put a crypt ghast on first turn doubling each future manas... or a nighthawk with equiped greaves! maybe 3 greaves would be enoughIt's great to have big monsters.. but if you dont get the mana in time, you will be stuck with those in your hand, then discarded... There is another way to get these on the table... doomed necromancer, apprentice necromancer, entomb, buried alive, sheoldred, etc... avatar of woe with unearth... and a massive discard thing like zombie infestation and altar reap... well... you choose! there is so much to do, all depends on the idea and on money
You should add 4 dark rituals, 1 sol ring, forget about the bad moons, they are strong enough... maybe 2 palladium is enough because what you need is black manas... bubbling muck? geth's verdict?
Good Idea, but for better results in all sorts of situations, I would put a little less of these : -1 Vizkopa, -2 basilica, -2 doom blade, -2 go for the throat, -4 pacifismAnd put a little more of these : +3 thrull parasite (speed), +2 well of lost dreams (speed), +2 swords to plowshares (no type limitation + exile), +2 ghostly prison (4 prison is more global than pacifism), +2 disenchant (you need to defend yourself from key enchantments and artifacts)
You should try shattering spree instead of rack and ruin!
