Yes, I own all cards you see, as I said, that's one of the reasons for those 1-ofs.
The mana base for this one is in constant change because of that, so the cards listed in the lands section are probably not what I currently run. I am eagerly awaiting the next set to be released because that means Theros block rotates out of Type II and THAT means those Scry lands will become cheap enough so I can purchase a bunch of them. This deck is the prime candidate to get most of them.
So far I was torn between "get all five colours and domain for Draco" and "keep it to red/blue/black in order to have a more stable mana base". In the long run it'll be 5 colours, though. This is a deck I probably never retire and instead tweak for eternity. The bringers will have a future here, at least the blue one, as you stated.

I have to trade for the Oracle of Mul-Dal first. Or Courser of Kruphix for that matter because he is way cheaper (moneywise). Then again that GG in the casting cost of Courser might give the Oracle the edge.

I have 4 Forbidden Orchards but they are more needed in my upcoming Oath deck :)

Kaervek seems appropriate on first glance but not on second: It only triggers for opponent's spells ;) Also, I would have to hardcast him, something I don't plan to do. Paying WURBG for the Bringers or 6 colorless for a Draco with domain is the most expensive I can accept.

I'll have a look at your Fatty deck but as I said, they need to have an alternative way to get into play.

Yeah, but I would do so anyway, the main reason is that I have more ideas than deck space, seond reason the limitations of my card pool. That it can also come in handy to veil the actual content and potency of my deck in multiplayer is a welcome benefit but not the reason why I do it.
Philosophy-wise, however, it IS my belief that it is good both for your deckbuilding skills and health of your casual envornment if you built around the limitations of your card pool rather than trying to invest more money or trade singles away to get playsets of the staples. So, for example, when my two Sylvan Libraries are in use and I build a deck that needs more, then I won't trade for more, instead I use Mirri's Guile and Preferred Selection and so on. And if I run out of those, then it's time to use other alternatives, dunno, Commune with the Gods for example, or splashing blue or becoming creative otherwise. I might also change the deck structure and remove the need for yet another Sylvan Library.

Yes, Elixir is always an option, albeit a lazy one ;)
I'll consider it, especially if the Soulnet prooves to be insufficient. (Sideboard for now)

I don't own neither Grottos nor Gravecrawlers but I am considering getting some Gravecrawlers because I would need them for other decks, too. However, they require me to have a zombie in play in order to come back and the only others are the Liches (oddly I have to say) and that Nim Devourer, so I am unsure how that would work out. But yes, Ichorid would be the first creature to cut. Those Necrosavants, however, have special place in my heart :)

I still consider this casual and here is why:
Yes, if the lock is down, it is pretty nasty. However: It's just a creature lock, not a full lock, and there are many creatures that can slip past the lock. But more importantly: It only works with a Spreading Plague in play. Without the plague this is just a sub-par creature deck with lots of dead cards in it. And I have no ways to bring back lost Plagues, zero ways to protect them and only 2 tutors to fetch them. So, all my opponent has to do is to keep the Plague off the table and the deck is civil.
That's why I always recommend others to run at least some artifact/enchantment removal in their casual decks. If a player doesn't run any, then he has no right to complain about a deck like this. Especially considering how powerful creatures are these days and how easy block mechanics, tribal mechanics and so on can get out of control.

And now you also know why I don't run more tutors: It would make the deck straighter, focussing more on the combo and setting up more pressure on everyone to kill either the Plague or me. And then it wouldn't be casual anymore.

About becoming a target:
Never happened so far - usually I am missing the Chisei or I win when that happens or I run out of life/mana before it gets too annoying. Keep in mind that I can only remove one counter per turn so I have to choose between keeping the cumulative upkeep or the life loss in check. Chisei is a legend, so I can't even have two of them in play. In my environment, being able to kill one permanent per turn would make you as many friends as enemies, I just have to pick my targets wisely (read: nasty cards that annoy others as well).
On that note, the card that has drawn the most hate so far is actually that Quicksilver Fountain! I had two games were I drew that early and it dominated the game.

Yes, my kill conditions are "random" but ins ome way that's intentional. When I win via Invert the Skies for example, then I was considered lucky which is exactly what I want. However, I am always open for finishers or other well suited cards. Woodfall Primus sounds great, but I have to trade for it. Same for Glen Elendra. However, I run Troll Ascetic and Kodama for their shroud/hexproof because in my meta spotremoval is rampant.

Recently traded for a Darksteel Plate (still waiting for it to arrive) and might assign it's new home here :)

Eternal Dominion is fun but 10 mana is too much for this deck.

Privileged Position vs Shielding Plax is a tough call. Since my two copies of the Position are occupied here http://www.mtgvault.com/puschkin/decks/cant-touch-this/ I am running with Plax in this deck and don't have to break my head over this decision.

Thx!

If you are scared that your opponents might use Pandemonium against you, there is always Warstorm Surge.

I don't mind which one, why don't you pick one that you think is interesting. I currently have no more decks that actually need help (well, I do, but they are still in no stage to publish and lack descriptions). Decks that you might like:

Pick whatever you want. I am not in a hurry. And will inform you when new decks where I actually need help are developed enough to ask for help.

Thank you, but actually, no - front page material needs to be simpler with more room for improvements. You don't make front page with creativity, you make it by generating replies and it doesn't matter what kind of replies that are. Also, most decks I post are decks that I play IRL (I use Vault mainly to organize my decks and keep track of ideas) and that means many decks end up expensive even when they are casual. And the people around here have a fetish for budget and will stop reading if they see a price tag of 3 or 4 figures. Plus half a dozen of other reasons my decks aren't front page material.

Yeah, pretty straight forward and lots of synergies :)

* Fun combo with Nacatl would be Varchild's War-Riders but it is off-colour

* Saproling Burst is a must for this deck, I think. It is insane with both Doubling Season and Pandemonium (the latter one is an outright kill, if you do the math a single Burst does 21 Pandemonium damage right out of the bat). Unless of course you don't want to enter the realm of combo.

* I just don't know what to cut since the deck is so tight already.

* You are talking about beefing up the Warpride with Oran, Forcemage and so on. Just to be clear: The copies of Nacatl will NOT copy any +1/+1 counters of the original Nacatl! For this reason I think the Oran-Riefs and maybe Doubling Seasons would be the first ones that could get cut (although Doubling Season would go well with Burst - damn!)

* There are a few creatures that have abilities similar to the Wanderer or would work well with your framework:
- Necrotic Ooze is the same as Cairn Wanderer, just for activated abilities
- Soulflayer works similar to the Wanderer. Yes, delve exiles the creatures, but sometimes you don't draw a Wanderer and sometimes you might have spare creatures to delve into.
- Sutured Ghoul might be quite big but also exiles.

* Ways to put cards (creatures) into your graveyard:
- Fact or Fiction
- Probe (could replace those Magus of the Bazaar which are reuseable but also fragile and summoning sick)
- Hermit Druid (since you are low on basic lands, activating him should dump great chunks of your library into your grave)
- Survival of the Fittest (this is actually the #1 card to add, however, it is so powerful it might tempt you to build the deck around this instead of the Wanderer)

* Dregs of Sorrow are a possible replacement for some of the Decree of Pain. The latter kill off your dudes, too.

* Maybe I am missing something but I don't see the use in those Library of Lengs here, especially since you also pack 4 Reliquary Towers. Don't you WANT to discard to the graveyard?

* I also fail to see why you would want to shuffle your creatures from the graveyard back to the library with Piper's Melody - is it because of the Defense of the Heart? If so, wouldn't it be better to have something instant speed? I suggest Krosan Reclamation instead. It is superior in many ways: instant speed, can put back any card (not just creatures) and the flashback means you can use it even if it gets milled or you have to discard it. This also applies to a lesser extent to Primal Command.

* I'd run Quicksilver Amulet over Elvish Pipers. They may be more expensive to operate, however, they aren't as easy to kill as a 1/1 dude and more importantly for 5-colour-100-card-deck: they operate on colourless mana. But it's maybe a good idea to keep a single Piper in the deck so you can use Buried Alive, Defense of the Heart and Necrotic Ooze on it.

Building this now - and upon re-examining this, why again should I add Brago? He basically just flickers my creatures. I assumed they would return at end of turn but instead they return immediatedly, so there is no window to cast Cataclysm in between. And the effects of my creatures trigger when they die, not when they leave play.

Cutting Brago again.

You mention Cockatrice a lot, hasn't that been shut down?

Well, by now I think there is a really big difference between our environments. What kind of multiplayer are you playing? What are your opponents running? Your decks are all tending towards "all or nothing" and "offense is my best defense" which are two things that aren't best advice in most multiplayer formats and against more sophisticated decks. Here the reasonings behind my suggestions:

Walker vs Memnite because 2 extra toughness wears more in multiplayer than 1 power. Your creatures are powered up by equipments (and if you don't have equipments, power 1 instead of 0 won't get you far either). But if the creatures die, all your equipments are useless, so that extra toughness is critical.

Windfall: Because you would empty your hand pretty fast and thus would draw way more cards than your opponents. With Cradle/Academy in play the 0-drops you draw will grant you more mana on the get-go. Basically, you can drop your hand early on, then refill and hit hard before defenses get up. If you win the same turn or the turn after, then it doesn't matter that some of them got extra cards as well.
All of this assumes that your opponents play "proper" multiplayer decks that take a bit time to develop. If they are also playing aggressive suicide style decks like you, well, then Windfall might be a bad idea. That's why I put that question mark at the end of that suggestion.

Haste: Multiplayer is overloaded with removal (global AND spot) simply because of the insane things people can muster in multiplayer these days. At least that's the case in my meta, whether this is my group of casuals or the EDH scene of my city. That basically means, whatever you field, if you cannot use it right away, it will probably not going to damage any opponent, because you give them one turn to find and deploy an answer. Haste denies them that one critical turn. It also circumvents the gang-up factor - during that one turn, alliances can will be forged. If you look too threatening, you'll get picked on. In my meta people would target you just for dropping more than one Sword, regardless of the creatures you might have. Yes, you can potentially gain 12 life per turn etc. but that potential needs a chance to get used. Haste minimizes the probability that anyone interrupts you from unfolding that potential.

Regarding the Whispersilk Cloak: Yes, the unblockable part would solve that problem, however, wouldn't the shroud part cause the Assault Suit to drop off?

Yep, Tangle is a great card (I also love Spore Cloud). I am not decided on the colours and direction yet, though. Everyhting hints on this being only black and white but this would require me to fall back to reanimation in order to get Damia out. Maybe Constant Mists would also be an option since if I have Damia going, I have a steady supply of lands.

Cradle AND Academy :P

Ha, finally someone using Sword of Vengeance! I don't get why it's seen so rarely. However, I think this deck actually needs more equipments that grant haste.

Maybe Phyrexian Walker instead of Memnite? Since you use all those equipments to power them up, that one point of power is worth less than 2 points of extra power. I think. I would also consider Signal Pest.

Windfall?

Yes, "shooting down suggestions" is never a bad thing as long as it makes both parties involved to think and re-think. It's just rare here to see someone thinking like that :) That's why I think explaining yourself is so important.

All of this assures me of one thing: That I really have go for white. Prison Term is a nice card that deserves to see play. Arrest => Recumbent Bliss in this case I think.

Tangle actually doesn't work here. Well, it does, but Assault Suit untaps the creature when control is changed, negating the effort.

Whispersilk Cloak?

Yeah, I know Stampede Driver isn't going to be huge, I just HAD to mention him because of the name, the effect and him being cc1 :)

Both Seal of Strength and War Dance aren't Modern legal, though.

I know how protecion from works. What I meant: If my opponent picked something with protection from white or similar to stay when Clysm resolves. I just worded that awfully.

Running so many 1-ofs is just my style. I usually find more cards that would fit than I have deckspace for and I hate to cut cards that aren't used otherwise, so I just use many 1-ofs instead. I've got this huge collection and hate the fact that 80% of them never see play. While this might dillute the deck and make it less powerful (as opposed to a streamlined deck), it does have several advantages. For one it keeps the opponent guessing. That's especially useful for me because I usually play in the same group of regulars. Seondly I can see what works well in actual play and then adjust later, cutting those that didn't work and up the ones that did. And sometimes a single copy is all I have ... which can also be considered an advantage, I don't have to trade arms and legs to get playsets.

More suspend, yes, sure, that's a thing to have an eye on. It would, however, make this more "all or nothing". The Chronicler is nice because I draw cards while he is suspended. Suspend was an afterthought, by the time I came up with that, cards slots were scarce^^

Gravepact, I despise that card :P I Also, I would have to have that in play beforehand and it just paints a big bullseye on my head ... but technically you are right.

I think I had Elixir of Vitality in this and cut it again for some reason. I'll put it in the sideboard for now (we don't use sideboards, so I always put cards in the sideboard that I consider adding).

I sold my Tarmogoyf some months ago. The other goyfs are nice but not in my colours, unfortunately, the ones of my colours don't add much. Reliquary Knight would also be quite interesting.

I'll play this like it is for now and then, depending on results, I'll reconsider more suspend (and phasing would also be an option)

Yeah, I wasn't about to take out the Jagged, just adding a side dish, probably replacing the Charms. I can understand you, though, that it would hurt to ditch the Charms - I, too, enjoy to give underdog cards a chance to shine. But these days, games are so fast and combos so powerful (and any idiot can slam together a powerful deck now that R&D literally builds their decks for them) that a 3-card-combo hardly cuts the mustard anymore. I learned that the hard way ... beautiful synergy across three medium costed cards is like casting pearls before the swines :)

Well, if 1ccs are so important for you, have you thought about Stampede Driver? Should fit the theme very well.

And if the Overwhelming Stampede is set in stone - what about something like Seal of Strength or War Dance? You can it play early and pop it later in the turn you cast the Stampede. That way you would lessen the risk of only having 1/1s by the time you are able to stampede.
