I aggree about the fireball. I really don't like the card: way too slow and expensive in manacost to be really effective.

Add Reassembling Skeleton to "feed" Mortician Beetle's ability to make them big very fast.

Way too slow in my opinion and your defence untill you can use the mind control cards is probably the bouncing. Bouncing can only do so much and your bouncing cards will run out eventually.

You'll probably lose a lot of life in the early game. Come up with a strategy that lets you survive long enough to use your mind control strategy.

Also I think that this strategy is way too one sided and way too risky.

Good luck.

I think you need more cards that forces your opponent to discard and draw cards to increase the synergy with Liliana's Caress and Underworld Dreams.

See my discard deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=116431

this is also a deck present in magic the gathering online the demo version.
Wich means that there are a lot better cards in excistence :)

I miss something like Rathi Trapper in this deck so you can choose which creature you tap via Rathi Trapper and Kill via Royal Assassin. I run this in my Royal Assassin/Sacrifice deck and Royal Assassin deck.

And Necrotic Ooze is really a good choice for this deck because there are so many activiated abilities in this deck. Really flexible :-).

I don't get it. The ability from Cunning Sparkmage can also be played turn after turn. And why use 5 mana (3 for the pyromancer and 2 for Emblem of the Warmind) to achieve something if you can achieve the same thing for 3 mana?

If you put the sparkmage in the deck you have the chance to spare Emblem of the Warmind for other creatures.

I also think you need more agressive spells like Lightning Bolt.

try cunning sparkmage instead of Prodigal Pyromancer

also lose ajani's mantra and add soul warden, soul's attendant or angel's feather instead

Add these cards: Kabira Crossroads, Boon Reflection.

Lose Arrest and lifelink => use spirit loop instead.

Forget about Emeria Angel and add something like Knight of meadowgrain, soul warden or soul's attendant.

Serra Ascendant is awesome in life gain decks.

Conqueror's Pledge is way too expensive even without kicking it. Add something that boosts your creatures strength and defence. For instance Honor of the pure.

I think Contagion Clasp is really necessary in this deck since the deck lacks the strength of bigger creatures. It is a good way to massively infect creatures and add poisoncounters to the other player's life total. I think 4 mana isn't very expensive especially since the benefits are pretty great. Also it's colorless mana which decreases the time I need to be able to use the proliferate ability of Contagion Clasp.

And about Flight Spellbomb: it can be usefull, but to add this in the deck I must remove other cards which I think are more usefull than Flight Spellbomb.

I'm gonna think about Ichor Rats though.

Thx for the comment!

Sinister Strength can be usefull also thinking about Cranial Plating.
I need to power my infect creatures up as fast as I can so Bonesplitter could be handy.
Hmmm gonna think about a little more

Yeah I think you are right. I need something to permanently boost the power of my infect creatures that corresponds with Livewire Lash. But I can't use equipment since "equip" is an ability not a spell. So my options are very limited and I haven't found anything worthwile. Enchantments would be the logical choice but that isn't black's strong point, and blue enchantments aren't offensive enough.

I'll keep looking :-).

And yeah I know that you probably wanted to use Fling in combo with Traitorous Instinct :).

I really don't like cards like Arc Runner. In my opinion there are too few situations where they can be usefull.

I get it that you put fling in your deck. It was my intention too, to put it in my Kiln Fiend / Chandra's Spitfire deck until I saw Soul's Fire. It does exactly the same but you don't have the sacrifice your creature and this for 1 mana more.

I would also put in more removal card like lightning bolt to use the ability Fire Servant and Chandra's Spitfire more frequently.

Thx for the comment on my deck btw! ;)

Goblin Tunneler is really important in this deck since it makes Kiln Fiend and Chandra's Spitfire unblockable.

The sparkmage is used to "feed" Chandra's Spitfire's ability.

Could be a solution with other changes to the deck.
I just uploaded a Kiln Fiend/Chandra's Spitfire deck.
Check my profile to take a look at it :). Thank you!

Lose the Prodigal Pyromancer

Changed Gerrard's Command for Armadillo Cloack. A long time power boost is more usefull in this deck I think :).

Thx for the tips!

Yeah I was doubting between armadillo cloack and shield of the oversoul. I decided for the latter because I wanted something that was anti-flying. Maybe I should reconsider, don't know :).

As for Watchwolf: I aggree it's a pretty solid 2 drop for a 3/3 but it is just a 3/3. in my opinion there are more usefull cards.

And yes I really would like to have Kitchen Finks in my deck but it costs about 4 euro (that's 5,63 USD). Little expensive for me ;).

And I choose Cultivate because it can grab 2 lands :p.

But glad you like my deck :) since I'm still a rookie in my opinion :)
