Hmm.You should watch covertgoblue (call him cgb) on youtube.He's posting a video everyday.Part of the trick is that he records more material on some key days to divide into the days, and he even has an emergency stash if there's problems with the server.He also has a number of other people who he watches frequently because they are up to dateAnd he uses his fanbase to pick new decks.He also don't mind sharing details about how he works, so he should be really valuable to you if you want to learn extra tricks.It's very impressive how he's been posting more than 900 videos without a halt, and I'm considering to try to post a deck each day in here, so I'm keeping an eye on him.You will also learn how he deals with haters and voice control and a ton of play psychology.

Did you get around to read this article:https://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/deckbuilding-and-storytelling/Is pretty relevant to your project...
Just saw a deck by isacfish running both phyrexian unlife and death's shadow, and come to think about it, that might be exactly what you need.A mardu variant of scourge might be the right way.Angel's grace might be usefull too.I think he might be working on an adnauseam death's shadow variant, but he's a bit too random about it so far
Heh, I meant all rolled into one. A control mill with the capacity for aggro.Let's float this QA a bit...
Aggro-control Mill :)
You got lucky with the mana when picking a liked mtgvault deck, because after a closer look the mana is distorted in proportion. Your luck rests in adding the ramp as it fixes things more or less.Many of the most liked decks on mtg are liked by trolls spamming the place, which is why I meddle so much.I just hope you didn't copy this mana from someone on the good users list.I suggest you use their work rather than the most liked decks, because you can't trust likes alone :(Here's a breakdown of how many lands can produce a given color in your deck.Plains = 16Island = 11Swamp = 12Mountain = 10Forests = 13In normal 60 card decks you need a minimum of 12 sources to reliably cast a card with two of the same mana (ww, uu and so on)So in an EDH deck the base for black, blue and red must be quite awful.And the number of green mana sources is probably dangerously low.I like the methods you used to design the deck, but they it's based upon a trust that you are dealing with quality material of others, but quality in mtgvault is low, and so your method will become distorted by the material you used.I hope this is an eye opener for you.Don't trust mtgvaulters, not even me.I strive to produce greatness, but I usually venture outside some safety zones of my own.I usually mark my best material with competitive, but I wouldn't trust that tag in here.I use mtgvault as an inspiration, but I only use top8 results as trusted quality source when a number of decks share the same cards... I place some trust in the people on my good users list. Some...Enough bitching, carry on my wayward builder...

Looking at your basic lands I see some sort of system going on.Wanna share the Intel or should I crack the code ? :)
I'd put more emphasis on the temple bell than on the original, howling mine.Controlling when draws happen can become really important.As an example if noxious revival was in your deck and an opponent was casting a key spell that would kill you, you could respond by reviving dawn charm to the top of your deck then draw it with a bell and counter the spell.Noxious revival can also be used to stall the opponent, by putting something stupid on top of their deck before both of you draw.
Added some more to my last comment above while you wrote ;)
[[Echoing return]] is totally badass in a deck with 4 of each creature like your design.Here are some alternatives if your deck changes nature or you build something else.[[Aid the fallen]] (if you decide to include a planeswalker)[[Cemetery recruitment]] (if you can find a decent zombie)[[Corpse churn]] (if selfmill becomes relevant)[[Disturbing plot]] (might be interesting in your current build)[[Grim discovery]] (maybe sb against land destruction)[[Macabre waltz]] (if you are the type of player who can keep land in hand)And a turn down the memory lane...[[No rest for the wicked]]Good against sweeper decks but a bit oldschool.Thanx for reminding me about echoing return.First time I saw it, I thought "wow that's gotta be broken"Then I forgot about it...But now that you brought it up, I realized which deck to put it in...A deck with [[rat colony]] :)

Don't loose eyes on the goal :)I've seen you improve your descriptions lately :)Do you plan to add more venture to the deck over time, or is fates reversal just a filler for a better revival card(Maybe kolaghan's command?)
Sounds great :)And to quote uato:"Men call me the watcher"As he said when he contacted deadpool from the side of a toilet stall, proving that sometimes watching can feel a bit misplaced...I don't have quite the same vigilance, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.
No problem :) Many other content creators face that...

A deck theory ?Interesting :)
I think your build might be able to abuse 1 or two cyclone summoner.In both of The games I saw you had plenty of lands for it, and ninjitsuing it back into the hand could be an idea.One direction where I could see developement is by using creatures with haste.I know that there is a couple of black and artifact creatures with both haste and evasive abilities, and ninjitzuing them will be a nice speed up. You don't cast them at the directly same turn but rather the next where they can attack alongside whatever else you played.I'll drop a few cardnames in a few seconds...[[Gingerbrute]] is the obvious card but [[avalanche caller]] and [[vengeful reaper]] might also be of use.I actually had a 2 cost bat in mind, but it wasn't legal.

Here's my take.https://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/gain-likes-in-vault-article/Treefolk harbinger and other stuff to search for the combo.I'm sure someone will make it pauper somehow.How about presence of gond on nettle sentinel ?That should be thematically correct.
