Nice. I like it - very straightforward. Also, Phage is just awesome. Might be a little slow though if you can't draw her.

how about spore frog instead of Undergrowth (or Darkness)? that way you'd even prevent combat damage if you spent all your mana.
also, even though i'm not really a friend of rituals, this really seems like a deck that could benefit of dark ritual (or more swamps). with only 8 swamps you are not only dependant on drawing phage but also 50% of the swamps in your library! (if you're looking for a cheap dual land may i suggest Tainted Wood?)

alternatively you'd at least exchange the llanowar elves with birds of paradise. you definitely need more black mana sources if you want to get out phage before turn 25

Made these changes also remember there is plenty of mana ramp in the deck which will speed it up quite a bit. Although this deck wasn't built to be fast just fun!

yeah i saw the ramp, unfortunately it was green mana and phage costs 4 black mana so the ramp wouldnt really help you in this regard. should be a lot more reliable with cultivate, rampant growth and the birds now. really nice

just use taunting elf, it's much faster to get out than prized unicorn, and has nasically the same effects.

and if your not drawing phage/swamps then use lure on a greater basilisk to kill all of the opponents creatures

this deck wont work, your forced your oppented to kill phage if they block... but if they block they chose how damage is assigned as phage can only deal 4 no doubt they will take it with only 1 of their creatures so well done youve only killed one thing, if your oppent attacks and phage blocks you can only do 4 damage so lets say 1 to each creature phage doesnt have first strike so your going to kill 4 things tops , in my opinion this combo doesnt work its a nice idea but falls short of what you think it can do phage will become everyones target for shoot and the fact its 7 mana to play means a very late game card by the time your oppent is going to have things up and running

you wouldnt use lure on phage. you'd use it on any other creature so that all creatures have to block the other one and phage can go unblocked and thereby win you the game... no need to kill the opponent's creatures first

Have you thought of adding whispersilk cloak to put on phage? Like the deck. Tell me what you think of mine. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=214084

You have 4 Spore Frog, Darkness, AND Fog? Switch out either 4 Darkness or 4 Fog for 4 Dark Ritual. The Dark Ritual's sole purpose is to get Phage out much earlier than you naturally could!

To protect Phage, you can use Spellskites or Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots. (Or the more expensive aforementioned Whispersilk Cloak.)

I hope this helps! Phage is an amazing card.

I like using Nacatl war-pride but it becomes a pain in the ass to explain to opponents so i've just stopped using it all together.

Spellkite to prevent your phage from dispatch / dismember / swords to plowshares etc.
Vexing Shusher and Boseiju land on sideboard to fight with a blue decks.

Nemesis Mask /Whispersilk cloak/Tutor cards is a good choice. (Sometime you can set up your board but can't draw the win condition)

If your willing to add red or white to the deck, you can put in a couple Master Warcraft's to choose how creatures block.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have fog and darkness in this deck? You wouldn't need to use the taunting creatures twice.

ha, i dig it! :) i love unblockable stuff! though, i think it'd be kinda cool if you had a tad more control / card advantage to bring 'em out.

check out my new UW deck? it would be a rough matchup for you. :P

You have absolutely nothing going for you until you can play your 7 drop...

Aggro wins - Runs you down before you can play phage

Control wins - counters your only win con

Mill wins - mills out all your phages, or your entire library before you can even drop it.
