I have but two things to say; Trinket Mage isn't new, he's a reprint from back in old mirrodin. Also, this is good and all, but this just isn't quite tournament quality to me. I like the deck though, it's good, and there's no offense meant by the statement about it not being tournament quality. Oh, and the one weakness I see is burn. My friend runs a burn deck that is fixed enough to beat legacy tournament decks, and it's standard.

Looks like a better version of a deck from an article I stumbled upon at TCGPlayer, something about staying ahead of the meta or what not. I hate playing against elves, but I have to say this is pretty nice.
Interesting deck, I've seen very few decks that win by shoving cards down their enemies throats, and they're mostly mill. This is by far the strangest method of burning somebody I have ever seen... Also it happens to be one of the best, and most amusing. 10/10, I hate to say it but it really doesn't need any editing other than maybe sideboarding an eldrazi for going against some of the faster mills.
I think I'm in shock, it's an original MBC! IN STANDARD. You sir/madam, earn my respect for this.
That's actually really funny, I tried to use some of these creatures in my previous sacrifice build, and it would not fire off. It seems that the whole thing for either style to work. Glad Bloodghast works for somebody in mono-black, I have to use W/B otherwise he just failed me to often.
Needs some more land, and perhaps some deeper voodoo. I suggest throwing in a playset Reassembling Skeletons, and a Viscera Seer for stability, and another threat other than Grave Pact. Extractor Demon, Abyssal Persecutor, and Demigod of Revenge are some good back up plans.
It's still pretty nice, but it appears that this one is much more reliant on the Everflowing Chalice. I like the card, but it's really bad when your only(and very needed) ramp card is able to be hit by ONE Cranial Extraction.. Also this build feels more like an angel deck than a straight control, and could do with some final tweaking.
I like the idea of a blink deck, but there are some better choices. Unless you intend this to remain standard, in which case it's pretty much optimal.
Wow, this is incredibly hilarious! Also reminded me of nettlevine blight, known in my circle as 'gonasyphyherpelaids'.
I like it, not a planeswalker person myself, but this is a quality control. I'm asking of you one thing, bemuse me with a legacy design of this.
Pretty sweet, and a lot more stable than most discard decks I see. Includes one of my favourite spells even(blightning), which is sadly absent from a lot of discard decks... Overall 8.7/10
White, like the albino from the Venture Brothers.
This is the BEST. GREEN DECK. EVER!!! I usually hate green as a primary colour, but here it works. I usually just splash it for mana ramp, but this makes me want to run it lol 10/10 for being AWESOME
Ah, in my meta we all play with decks we've flushed against legacy tournament decks. Not expensive, just competent. We have at least one control deck around here, and they're usually U/B with mill, or in my case mono-black sacrifice. And they run SO much faster than white exile that it's stupid, I've seen only a few exile decks that had been good, and most of them W/U, or W/B. For in your meta this is probably a beast already, but I think it will become enough for almost any meta soon.
It looks like you should really hate U/B control... I've seen a lot of similar decks get their haze hit turn two by dark ritual+memoricide, and it's not pretty usually. For going against ground and pound this is fantastic, however I see a lot of flaws against discard, mill, and basically every control deck.
Me likey, most multiplayer black decks I see are demon, or vampires... This is one of the few original mono-black decks I've seen in awhile, and it doesn't suck! Not really any glaring problems that wouldn't be fixed with some easy sideboarding, so overall a 9/10
It's the inversely politically correct power rangers! Heheh, this is amazing. I love the Urza lands, but I never thought of using them with Myr! 10/10
Interesting deck, I've been looking for new ideas to tinker around with, and this seems like it should be rather enjoyable. Only thing is that I find Drowned Catacomb's to be oh so much better than Darkslick, overall though 9/10, bravo!
Also, once it hits legacy this will have greater stability since you get stuff that has the same uses as your required cards.
This is an intersting little standard deck, I can see it being fun games against some extended, and maybe a few legacy decks... I have very few problems with this, all I'd like to see is drowned catacombs rather than Darkslick. Overall I like it, when it hits legacy I expect to see Grave Pacts out of you now. 8/10
