I happen to think it's a very skerry combo to be honest ;P The deck looks pretty solid, and you can't really go wrong with the Jinxed idol or Blood Pet. Something I would add would probably be a couple Culling the Weak for some more mana acceleration and another sacing outlet.

This looks semi similar to my Blightning Vampire deck :P You have a nice build going. I would probably replace some of the lands with Terramorphics only because you may get colour screwed with the specific cc cards like Blightning, Nighthawk, and Hideous End. Also, I find a lot of times when a deck runs more creatures than spells Kiln Fiend kinda sits on the back burner. You may put some kind of mass kill in the sideboard such as Pyroclasm and the like. Just in case. I hate token decks lol. Another side option is artifact destruction. Maybe Crush for a cheap destroy because your other kill will take care of the creatures. Either way you slice it the deck looks pretty solid, and I really can't think of anything else.
First off you have way too many lands. This deck easily runs on 2 without the Contagion Clasp. 18 land and you should be good to go. You may want to cut the proliferating out of the deck as it's too slow. The Grim Affliction is an alright kill card with the extra proliferate as a bonus, but don't rely on proliferate for the win. With this kind of deck you want quick. Like greg said you'll want Giant Growth's and definitely Mutagenic Growths. Explore really isn't needed because if you cut down your land then you won't have as many in hand and won't be able to use it effectively. I would also cut the Contagion Clasp as it's too slow. With your creature base it looks like you'll be going pretty quickly. Another card you'll want to add would be Ichorclaw Myr. It's one of the better infect creatures. You can check out my infect for inspiration, although it's not t2. Good luck with your deck!
You could try Harrow, and possibly Llanowar Elves. Nothing's better (in a ramp deck) second turn than casting Harrow one turn early (with Llanowar) and using your two untapped lands to cast a Rampant Growth for a total of 5 (6 if you have a land in hand) available mana third turn. Also, if you're feeling adventurous you could put 1 or 2 Fireballs in and a single Mountain. That way late ish game when you have a good stockpile of mana you can Fireball for a lot :P Once more, I would take out the Ascension and the Holy Strength and add one more True Conviction and Celestial Mantle. Sure it makes your mana curve increase, but you have a better chance of drawing one of those two.
Well you have tons of mana acceleration. You can easily cut the Rituals and the deck will still run very quickly. Your best play is turn two with the Glistener (just like mine) and you don't even use a Ritual for that. I really think the Lotus Petals and the Spirit Guide are plenty. Mine only has 15 basic land and no ramp. You could add creatures such as Blight Mamba or Rot Wolf. I'd go with the Mamba because odds are (even if you're early game) that you'll have the mana to take advantage of the regeneration. However Rot Wolf will let you draw cards for killing creatures. Other pump spells to consider would be Predator's Strike or something of the like. Trample is amazing ;)
Nice deck. Looks a bit like my infect, but with rares and uncommons :P The only thing about having such a small amount of creatures is that you may not get one opening hand. I've had this happen many a time and cost me the game. Just a thought to bear in mind.
Nice deck. It seems extremely consistent. You've come up with a very creative combo, and I like it.
This kind of deck can be slow at times because your creatures are so big. You definitely have plenty of land, but not the right kind of land. Look at your Mana Symbol Occurrence. 77.5% of your cards are green, 22.5% are black, but your mana is 50%/50%. Try making your land ratio match up with your colour ratio.
I know, right? The fact that most of them work together seamlessly doesn't help the argument that there's a "bad" BW card. Best first and second turn ever is Nip Gwillion and Edge of Divinity. Best second and third is Mourning Thrull followed by another Edge. Honestly thinking about it the only thing I would try to cram into this deck is Mortify. Enchantment and creature removal all in one package. Of course one could delve a bit further into the past and pull up Vindicate. However, I'm sure you've already known about these cards which renders my suggestions nearly useless ;)
Being an artist I also love the name, and I have a soft spot for Orzhov decks myself <3 This looks like a more expensive version of what my Orzhov does. Just pump and kill stuff. You do with creatures what I do with spells. I'm not really sure what I can add to this deck, but yeah. Much love for Chiaroscuro :D
That works too! In fact it was probably a better choice to help your Mirrorworks/Throne of Geth combo. Are you trying to keep this type two? Also, would you mind checking out my Disney Toy Factory deck? It's one I've been working on for the last week or so and I'd like some help with it.
Nice deck. I can definitely see how this could get nasty. The only thing I would try to do is squeeze some more card drawing in. If you don't get one of your Infect cards very soon then all that proliferate will be pretty useless. However, it seems like you have plenty of items to use proliferate on.
It seems like you have a lot going on with just 1 or 2 of everything. You could try to cut things down by narrowing your strategy and include 4 sets of the cards best suited to what you want your deck to do.
