Yeah, drop Ambition and add in 2 more Diabolics. The Ambitions are dead cards early and they are hurting your curve. From there, consider uppijg the Negate count to 4, or add in 2 draw spells. -4 Ambition +2 Diabolic +2 Negate/draw Hope this idea helps.

That gels so much better. Nice swap. Ive got a Mono Black build (Black Hole) thats similar to this. Feel free to check it out for some other possible ideas.
This looks solid, but i know how blue can be with speed at times. Trying to find room for a couple High Tides might prove useful, otherwise, Mystical Tutor to fetch a counter that Snapcaster can nurse might help in the protection area. Thanks for the comment on my Probe deck. If you could lend insight to anything else id appreciate it, just click on my name to see the deck list.
Not knocking, but all that burn will likely lead to many empty hands. Look towards Browbeat and/or Scry options like Flame Jet or Serum Visions/Preordain. They should help your card quality out tremendously. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ).

Rancor i can see passing up, but the Library? Its one of the best card drawing engines the game has ever seen. Draw, then draw 2, pay 4 life per card additional cards drawn or put them back. Only 2 have to go back, so you basically get to choose 1 of 3 cards every turn and never get penalized unless you choose to keep one beyond the first. So good in EDH!
Whybplay Cabal Coffers if you have nothing above a CC of 4? I love Pox, but i question its effectiveness in this build. Youre lacking a card drawing engine, and search, to help you maintain control after you Pox/Smallpox. Dont leave yourself open, you dont want to start a top decking race even though youll have the means to Crucible your lands. That said, theres nothing wrong with playing Strip Mine here and Tutor for it to maintain control "permenantly". Hope this idea helps.

Wall of Blood and Fling could make for the ideal finisher here. Theyre both Modern legal, too. Hope this idea helps.

All those artifacts and no Thoughtcast or Thirst for Knowledge or Fabricate or Trinket Mage? Splash some bkue, get the replenishment so youre not sitting with nothing in hand. Even Override could be solid here for some defense. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ).

I forsee mana issues with only 18 lands and no accel. Cinsider Extraplanar Lens or High Tide to help churn out the mana base. Mystical Tutor never hurt anyone in a casua fame, too. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Worldly Tutor, Rancor? Two easy additions that are cost effective ajd easy on the curve. But cinsidering green, Sylvan Library is a MUST HAVE for EDH. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Tezzerits Gambit will give you cards and proliferate. Theres no reason that card should not be in this deck. But i agree, proliferate needs to be a part of this to help the hatching occur faster. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Since Alabaster Potion is here im assuming thus is casual and not modern. That said, why not just throw in Necropotence or Yawgmoths Bargain to drop your heath faster? Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at one of my builds. Just click on my name to see the deck list. Thanks.
See, this is better. Nit only is it balaced better than your other builds, but it also follows a central theme that youve stuck to. You use acceleration here, something you dont do in your walkers deck, and you have a much more moderate curve that i can believe works consistently. Use your theories from this buikd, along with the appropriate counts following the game mechanics, and you should find deckbuikding to be much more fun and rewarding. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Otherwise, any comments youd like to leave on any of my decks would be appreciated, just click on my name to see the deck list.
Im having a real hard time believing that this plays well at all. You have too few forms of dual mana producers in a 5 color deck, no acceleration, and a curve that is out of control. Not only that, but having the correct coloring you need for the walkers you have on hand at the time simply wont happen with this buikd. Go ahead and keep the artifact theme going, but make it two colors. Keep only the walkers that work together in the build, balance the mana base, and lessen yiur curve. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Your curve is smooth enough that you could easily make do with 22 or 23 lands. However, you will need that defense, Geths Verdict might be a better alternative for you, as would some form of counter. Youay even find that some of your creature base is unneeded, trimming the fat should help build the consistency. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Id strongly consider tutors in the build, at least in place of the Dismembers. Verdict should be enough to keep you protected, so up that to 4, drop both Dismembers and add in a tutor. The vanilla Liliana will give you the card quality here, too. Sign in Blood or another drawing engine couldnt hurt either. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Pastimes in Niles,IL has good prices, look for them online. Otherwise eBay all the way!
Considering everything loses there benefits, triggers, etc., why focus on ajything other than accel to churn iut that first Essence? Basic green land accel will help with the mana base, coloress or green artifact tappers would lso be solid play as they wont succomb to the Essences ability. However, losing creature abilities to become vanilla 6/6s is kinda blah. Reanimation might be the bet play here, tbh, which would mean splashing black. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Splashing blue for some draw might prove useful. Thoughtcast, even Thirst for Knowledge could easily find aplace here when used with or without the added benefit from the Confidant. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
Small change, but i think youll find Orims Chant to be a better alternative to Silence especially when used in conjunction with the Stick. But i agree, you are a little vulnerable, but thats nothing Wrath if God or Ghostly Prison cant take care of. Hope this idea helps. If you get a chance, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Any help would be much appreciated.
