The early turns I will hopefully delaying with Duress and turn 2/3 ill either drop dismember, go for the throat or start the early ramp by dropping a sphere of the suns or pristine talisman for that turn 3 Mutilate. I have been play testing against Naya POD, R/B zombies and U/W delver and have stomped all of them except Naya POD that gives me trouble.

I have a deck somewhat the same, control then heavy creatures. I like how the deck is built but i don't get the sever the bloodline. I think you could change it for another shimian or phyrexian metamorph or so.:))

+1 for you :))
if you have time would you mind checking and commenting on my Flicker deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=371688

During play testing it just helped get rid of those pesky zombies such as gravecrawlers or geralfs messengers. I also have 1 main board for strangleroots or any decks running token spells like lingering souls. I am play testing again tonight and will certainly try out another shimian over it though thanks for the tip!

I'll check your deck out as well.

I'm a big fan of control decks, especially mono-black! ^_^ b

anyways, why not try adding a grafdigger's cage to the sb for dealing with pesky undying shtuff? i dunno. haha anyways, it's already a pretty smooth deck as it is. goodluck at the PTQ!

also, if you have the time, could you check out my grixis control deck? i'd really appreciate any suggestions or advice you could give, for both the main deck and the sideboard. Cheers! ^_^

Cheers for the tips all I took them all onboard and after play testing yesterday I made the following changes to the MB... -2 Dismember for +2 Tragic Slip, -1 Shimian Specter for +1 Liliana of the Veil.

Changes to the SB... -1 Praetor's Grasp, -1 Liliana of the Veil for +2 Vile Rebirth.

The changes came about after play testing against R/B zombies and Naya Aggro. The Vile Rebirth will come in from SB against frites and zombies to get rid of the messengers and elsh norn or other fatties. The -1 Liliana of the Veil from SB was moved into MB over Shimian Specter as I felt Liliana does more for me and every game I was siding out the Shimian Specter for her anyway. The Dismembers weren't doing too much for me except to kill off Huntmaster and Restoration Angels but I feel tragic slip would be better suited for this deck with the board wipers and help remove the turn 1 Mana dork or Delver.
