That seems kinda risky to me, but then again I love defenders... Do you think this will work fast enough to handle the life loss in general?

No doubling cube? da-f*ck 0.o?

can you even make a bad deck? seriously...

*cough* spellskite *cough*

if you want more glissa maybe you could toss in Glissa's Scorn, and if your feeling ballsy maybe liquimetal coating.

Tron reference?

Oh and to answer your question its not just whenever you play an instant or sorcery but when you play one and put a counter on the wand. Because for whatever reason you can actually choose to not place the counter on it after you play the spell. So in short the counter from the instant or sorcery triggers the damage, but the other counters will still add to the damage total.

I just recently did something similar to this called Vedalken Tumbletron. I think you should drop the wand and the argentum armor, but i dont know what to replace them with yet. You dont really have a solid win condition in here so id be looking for some sort of finisher.

Your deck inspired me to build one of my own, check it out if you want. Its mono black, but i think it could do pretty well. Its just called Wall of Blood. (creative huh? -_-")

For creature removal replace both Go for the Throat and Doom Blade with Duh and Devour in Shadow. Both black and artifact alike will shake in their boots.

Yeah i like the idea of the crusader better. If things arent going your way he wont be stuck in your hand as long and he has some nice built in protection. :) Also have you considered replacing Stabbing Pain with Virulent Wound, they both have their upsides, but that wont mess up your pretty nicely balanced mana (which impressed me alot btw so good job ;D). Possibly even using the Plague Myr in place of your Ichorclaw Myr. You would lose his nice pumping ability but you may get off the ground a little faster. I suppose only playtesting and preferences will determine that though. Good luck though, so far this is looking pretty awesome.

that's two words...

I really love this deck. Once i saw it I slapped together a proxy and it is so fun. All i can suggest is to experiment with those one of's to find the best fit. Personally i think ill be dropping one signal pest and having 3 powerful one of's that i have in mind. Good Luck to you ;D

Those cards really arent that useful in this deck, and if they were added the deck would most likely suffer from it.

i really like the "toolbox" aspect of this deck, and like you were saying above, having those options tends to play out a little better.
Im also trying to find a comfort zone with Tezz and i chose Master Transmuter to work with him. If you would check it out that would be cool.

doubling cube can make a pretty big omnath

thanks for the idea for Noble Hierarch, its not multi colored but its just such a good card.

dash hopes is a nice card

that mana doesnt leave after the turn is over.
