I was about to recommend Tormod's Crypt as well. I would run it over Relic for the reasons you mentioned. It's probably more of a sidebord card though.

So now there is a card draw engine to help with this issue.
You could replace a few of those islands with Radiant Fountains or Tomb of the Spirit Dragon.
This deck in fun and can run super fast! Glaze Fiend is your main enforcer. The problem with this deck is that you quickly play out your hand and are left without any fuel for Fiend.
Updated the deck a bit with some more recent cards. May try to work in Butcher's Glee as well.
I don't get how the Sprout Swarm combo works. It seams like you would only get one token out, unless you paid the buyback cost, which would be hard to do multiple times. I don't think you can use convoke to pay the buyback cost, but even then, you would need 5 untapping creatures to pull it off.
Can't wait to see it! This deck has earned me lots of wins.
Hardened Scales!!
Or rather Vines of Vastwood
Added Ethereal Armor, as well as Cho-Manno's Blessing W/instant speed which is nice.
Okay, I managed to swap out cards without much difficulty. As long as the creatures have Shadow, it doesn't much matter.
Thanks for the info! It's just a first draft and need some adjustments, but I think it has potential.
Added Vines, I'm choosing not to run Mutagenic growth yet, I just don't seem to need it. With a mana curve of 2 I'd rather have giant growth.
Vines! I've been looking for this card! I will def. be adding it in the future. This deck already gets wins. It only really fails against control decks. Of all the color combos I've tried B/G just works. Unearth is just awesome. Plus I really try to build my own decks. It may end up just like everyone else's but it happened through my own trial and error.
Invigorate is banned in pauper format. I would suggest Predator's Strike
Have you considered Hardened Scales? It ramps up the heroic effect.
Take out Revenge and this could be a pauper deck.
How about Vesuva. It can copy any other land so you can copy one of your Urzas and still get the mana boost.
If you just replaced Cloudpost, this deck would play modern.
The chariots are there for their firststrike ability. This paired with deathtouch can kill most anything since you kill the opponents creature before it has a chance to deal damage.
