Basically VCA decks function like a one sided Ethersworn Canonist, but with discard. To replace Sorin, I dunno really... I don't make this kind of build, so I can't give an answer worth your time really.

This is pretty neat man, and viciously brutal. I've always liked wither, never really been able to get it to work for me, but it's rocking out over here!
Good focus on 1 cc and 3 cc, but you're going to hurt a LOT from so little on 2 cc. Tarmogoyf is also your king, if you run green there is no reason not to run a creature that is routinely a 3/4 turn two. Also, I'm kind of confused by the lack of good ol' StP... Yeah it's only a play set of removal, but it will save you against Reanimator, and is beneficial to have in virtually every MU
Also, it's ON. Call me Chef man, cause I'm about to sing you a little song about why Reanimator is the KING of evil! I'm still testing Lim-Dul's Vault and Beseech, but it's done it's job only a turn slower than it's previous perfection. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=153692
Gee willikers gang, I've done been served! It definitely achieves its lofty goal, but leaves me wanting... Wanting you to hang the budget and use some revised lands :D I stamp this with Lovecraftian evil!
Virtual Turn Advantage, it's the core of my MBC's. You take turns yeah, but it seems like I'm taking twice as many :P
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=153585 Escalation time, and I'm upping the aggro.
Not cool dude, I logged on to make this kind of build lol
It's headed in the right direction man, recursive spitter is great for dealing with Blackguard's too.
I like it, first hand I tested had a turn three activation, and room for a FoW left. I feel that says all that NEEDS to be said about the deck. This is also one kind of deck I wouldn't mind the CDA from rituals all that much too, so props for that.
Erm, Joe you might want to check this one again.
Wait, Vial? 0_o I'm like the king of attrition here, and they'd still go turn one Lackey I guess if your meta is more aggro-centric, it makes sense, but for going into an unknown meta it's ill advised. And Kokusho is one of the best nukes you'll find, EVER. But Sorin, eeeeh. He's a bit to slow for my tastes, but to each his own. And Abyssal Persecutor is great, but he's not really the ideal finisher to me. I prefer the VTA method, but a lot of people in standard this kind of route now, so I guess whatever floats your boat.
Fume Spitter is one of my favourite cards from the current block, so I'm a bit biased in that one. So yes lol
Also, a bit above I explain Underworld Dreams, it is to blue what Spore Frog is to most things.
The reason I don't run dark rituals is a whole debate between blue and black players man, I only run two because it's easy to be hit by a two-for-one if they counter the card you play off of it. Dark Confidant, meet Braids, she's here to shank you now. And Bloodghast is recursive, at next to no cost... I've been thinking of replacing the Lake with an Undiscovered Paradise so he'll recur even easier. He works because he's like Jose Canseco, he don't give a @#$% 'bout no crabs!
The deck is a bit mana intensive, three skinrenders, two Drana, and three Wurms is a bit much no? I like it, but it seems it could lighten up on the high mana cards.
I'm not really sure which would win, after light testing it seems a bit favourable though.
Sinkehole will pay you back with a game won for each penny spent dude, I wholeheartedly approve of that. As for a play set of rituals, well I'm a blue player(shocker, isn't it?) so I see the card disadvantage before the speed advantage... I just don't know how I feel about running more than two any more, it's just to east to be hit by a two-for-one.
Joe, your affinity is just cheating... I'd have to take it to a different level and use some of the builds I did for Vintage to deal with that thing lol.
I can honestly say I haven't seen this one done before, and that I am glad of that. I think Imma fork over the stamp of evil over to you, you have taken it to a different level of douche man.
