Lol yeah, that might be good too. Infest is one of my favorite options, but normal targeted removal is good too.

Nice deck! I've always like Chronozoa, but I've never found a deck to use it in properly. Why not Veiled Sentry? I don't think it's Modern legal, so it could be a good option as long as you don't care about legality.
If you're using snow-covered lands, Scying Sheets is a pretty good option to help you out while topdecking.

If you wouldn't mind, could you give me some feedback on one of my decks? Here's a link:

Yeah, I thought that the cards in here costed a lot less- the reejereys themselves (uncommons) come to about $7- I don't think that this is the best deck myself.

Most of the time, I'd just be focusing on getting enough mana out for my own spells to be cast- after Stranglehold is out, the mana they have usually doesn't matter anyway. Thanks for the advice!

I don't really think I need to Splash- since Blue Sun's Zenith lets target player draw any number of cards, It's just as effective of a kill spell as any of those other cards are. I could add in some other Braingeyser type cards, but I don't think it's too necessary. What do you think?

The reason I chose to put more Knowledges in was because Knowledge can dig deeper, but I suppose that since 1/3 of the deck is made of creatures that it isn't necessary to dig that deep- I'll add in a Soothsaying and take out a Knowledge.
Tezzeret's Gambit is a good card, but Steady Progress is Instant Speed- An extra card for two life isn't bad at all though, so I'll put it in Gambit in to the sideboard.
Grozoth is mainly there to be a defender and to tutor for Inkwell Leviathan- The 4 mana required to make it able to attack is a little costy anyway, so I usually end up using it as a tutor+blocker.
Thanks for the feedback!

I did play against your Golgari deck, but I didn't look at it when making mine. It was very tempting to make my deck Golgari, but I decided on mono-green instead. I actively decided against Krosan beast because of the mana cost, but this deck doesn't seem to have too many problems getting mana because of Werebear and Mulch. I'll take out the Anurid Barkrippers (don't know why I decided for them over Krosan Beast) and add in Chloroplant and the Best. Thanks for your feedback!

This looks good! The only thing I would suggest is something to hold down creatures while you're trying to dig up the combo. Propaganda might be a good choice, Man-o' War and Ather Adept are also good choices (you probably wan man-o' war because of the two colorless). Tell me what you think!

I was actually going to suggest that you remove two War Chant for two Vipers, but it appears that you've already added the Vipers in. I think that it would be good to take out two War Chant for two Clan Defiance- Drawing multiple War Chants won't really help you that much, and Clan Defiance is really efficient burn that also hits fliers, something that this deck doesn't really have an answer for.

However much I like the combo, I feel that the Disciple doesn't work well in a deck with Heartless summoning because it will be killed by the Summoning most times you play it. It's a cool idea, but the only ways to get the infinite combo working is with a very ideal sequence of cards- Disciple in to Grimace or Mizzium Skins in to two Myr Retrievers. Transmute does help this to happen, but this isn't one of the best decks I've seen you make :/

Wasteland Viper would probably go well in here- I almost want to suggest that you add in ramp and add in a few "X" spells- Feral Animist really likes multiple activations in one turn, but you'd need to add in a few other spells to dump your mana in to to really justify the ramp.

If you're going to run Isochron with a counterspell, Memory Lapse tends to be better and less in terms of $$$.

I think that you could do with some creatures are a little low-costed so that you can hold an early-game. I would suggest the Alara Reborn "Shard Adjective-Blade" cycle as something you should look at (Jund Hackblade, Naya Hushblade, Bant Sureblade, Esper Stormblade, and Grixis Grimblade). Your manabase here is really flexible and can probably support these, seeing as the colors needed in their manacosts aren't too hard to get on the board with all the posts. I'm sure it's obvious, but the posts will give them their buffs. A LOT of Alara block commons are really underrated for multicolor budget, so I really recommend you look through those. I don't see the Courier being super-necessary *if* you do decide to take in a few more of these small multi-colored creatures. Yore-Tiller nephilim is also another possible option. Let me know what you think!

Sure, I'll put it in the sideboard.

Wreath of Geists is an awesome card here- But what should I switch for it? I'm not sure that I want to commit to too many more non-creature cards.

Sounds like a good card for this deck- what do you recommend I switch our for it?

I definitely agree that I need some trample- Rancor is a bit pricey, but I'll add it to the sideboard for consideration.

It's a good card, but I find myself discarding Kessig Cagebreakers more than I do casting it. Even then, Kessig usually swings for lethal in a turn or two when otherwise unaided. Champ is a good card, but I don't think that it's the best for this specific build. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the like! I was considering a whole variety of card draw, and decided against Harmonize because of its cmc. What do you think about Triumph of Ferocity or Keen Sense? I do recognize that my deck really could use some card draw, but am stuck on low cmc options.

Nice deck! This is a cool build that uses simple mechanics to an awesome effect! Have you considered Corpsejack Menace? Force of Savagery would be beastly along with Varolz, and can provide a use for Buried Alives that you might draw after getting the first one to fetch the ghasts.

I have a green deck that also makes use of the graveyard- I didn't use black, but I think that your input as someone who built this deck would still be pretty helpful. Would you mind looking it over?
