I'd love to see what you could do with Elves. Also, no offense dude, but I play against the Elf decks made by Wumps, and I still like the tribe...gonna call ya out on that one =P

I have a lot of thoughts about this man. For one, the immediate thought is that only mono-green can be Stompy. However! A few cards in other colors have recently added to people's confusion about this, because these few cards are "stompy-like". Abyssal Persecuter is a prime example of this, with Phylactery Lich and Obliterator being others to an extent. Does that mean that eventually other colors will be stompy? Well...Not really. See, as the other colors push into the higher numbers of mana-efficiecy, so is Green. For that reason, mono-green will always be the absolute most efficient.

The second thing I see is that the deck can be very fast with some tweaks, but is at the moment a tad slow. I get the idea of using artifacts for the Lich, but I don't know if it's worth it without focusing the deck too much in that direction. I do like the use of Lashwrithe, but that's it really.

Abby is a powerhouse, no doubt about that. But with him, you gotta have some consistent way to kill him off when the time comes. Moving the deck more towards a theme of blacksac could easily take care of that and work right in your favor. Bloodghast is as always an excellent addition, and would again do well for the sacrifice idea.

I think you should do something like:

4 x Abby
3-4 x Obliterator
4 x Bloodghast
4 x Mortician Beetle
[A bunch of sac outlets]
[other good stuff of your choice]

Hope that helps dude!

OH WAIT! One last thing...running sub-20 is dangerous unless the deck is specifically made to handle the lowered count.

My tap deck is about tapping enemies and keeping them tapped. Gigadrowse is more of a reactionary version of that idea, so I used a different card in its place.

Glad you like this though. =]

Now there's a name! I stand by what I said before, it makes absolutely no sense that Skeleton's are such an underrepresented tribe for Black. I like this deck more than I even thought I would. An army of low-cost regenerators with deathtouch will have your enemy screaming at you.

By the way, I noticed you have no tribal decks...

Thanks man. I had to get myself away from making tribal deck after tribal deck, so I put this together. I really hope Innistrad brings back the dual colors because this reminded me just how much I love B/W =P

Eh, Extraction isn't that good in Vintage. That extra speed and higher versatility given to other decks allows even combo designs like this to escape the reach of Extraction. Sure, Extraction gets the speed boost too, but it impacts them less than others. =/

I do agree with your comparison though. To add to it though, I have to quote our shop-owner when talking to someone about my Extraction deck(s). "It's not so much that he knows how every deck works, but more so he knows how every deck WON'T work."

I like the design though, and it does seem to have its own quirks to it that make it tuned to you. THIS, by the way, is one of the prime examples of why Y.W. is overpowered as balls. =/

This is also why I still think Legacy players are the best players in Magic.

Standard is full of boring decks played by a bunch of pansies and lazy/bad players.

Extended is played by...erm, who plays Extended again? =P

Legacy is played by people who play CONTROL decks violently, and will gladly lose 12 life if it means the opponent will lose the next turn (or that turn).

Vintage is just...Whoever can abuse all the broken/overpowered crap better on turn 1 wins. Rinse and repeat...

Thanks guys, glad people knew what the title meant. I love...pretty much everything about Orzhov. I don't think there's a single "bad" B/W card, which is a crazy claim when you think about it. The deck is so far very consistent, and with all the insane artwork and abilities, it's also a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Eh, they're sort-of Prison. Closest thing since "Extraction" isn't yet a deck type you can select. By the way, the deck you linked isn't even my current best Extraction.

That one is =P

This looks good man, always glad I can be of help! =]

I think this passes as a Noggle tribal...And I'm pretty sure that makes you one of like...5 other people in the world lol. Thing is...yours is pretty decent =]

Geth's Verdict has a little bit more bastard crammed into it versus Diabolic Edict, other than that...not really.

lol I've thought about using Bone Saw, but eh...I just didn't like it in the deck =/

Wow, I just realized that new Cat Monk is friggin' nice. I like this man. Monks can be crossed off our list lol.

First thing that came to my mind when I looked at the deck:

So...yeah. That's basically my reaction to this. I love the design, but christ man I would want to smack you if I played against it.

It's a real testament to someone's skill and understanding of the game when they can confidently say that Yawgmoth's Will, not Black Lotus, is the most broken card ever made.

...and that's because they're actually right. =P

A set of 4 of them would set you back about $1,000...so have fun! =P

I got lucky and pulled one of mine from a pack years ago =}

Dark Confidant. His name is Bob =]

Not terribly. It'll cost you a bit, but it won't give you a heart attack =]

Holy crap everyone's back! And now I'm back!

After testing this a bit, you guys are right, it makes a hell of a lot of mana. I did indeed put Bob into it AND Syphon Life (creepy huh?). I realized also that the Cradle is a catch-22 in this case. Lemme edit up the current design. =]

Exactly. It's a surprising amount of worms to be honest. I wish soooooooo much that Spawnwrithe was a Worm Elemental, but it's not =/

It fits the theme sooooo much

Wake Thrasher. I wanted the deck to be an aggro token-ish design with the control-ish aspect from LULZmage. Until I had Wake Thrasher, I never had that nice balance between power-house aggro and control without over-doing one or the other.
