Look into playing Magus of the Candelabra over Voyaging Satyr. I have made the switch and I am loving it.

First they would have to have a way to get their creatures into the grave. Secondly by size and shear numbers of your cycled creature how could even there biggest creatures be a threat against 15-20 power on the board? You may not see it in this budget version(lacking Fulminator Mage) but Living End is a tempo deck that uses main board land destruction to keep your opponent off mana to cast their larger threats.
Lastly you can not put spells that cost less than 3 into the deck. When you cascade at the end of your opponents turn you want to hit Living End and attack for lethal on your turn. Not hit a Rakdos Charm. If you want to wipe a grave just use Jund Charm.
I have been playing this deck for nearly two years.

You can't use Rakdos Charm in Living End. It's mana cost is less than three. Also Faerie Macabre will do a good enough job taking card of the creatures in your opponents graveyard.

Use your Google-Fu and check it out. It also works with Tendrils of Corruption which is a better card.

Ok guy, let me break it down for ya. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth makes all lands Swamps in "Addition" to there other land types. So your 6 mana you payed for Corrupt would net you 12 damage and gain your 12 life. Since your swamps are not Swamp-Swamp for there land type. So Corrupt and Urborg "Do" work. Don't trust me? Google, its your friend. Or ask Carlos or Jeremy. Also a what is there to decided. Games are won on Card Advantage. Griselbrand gives you the best card advantage machine in Modern and Legacy. He also doubles as a 7/7 Flying beat stick with Lifelink.

Corrupt, but no Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth? Also you are missing the best demon ever printed. Griselbrand is simply amazing.

I like it. One thought tho would be to also use the new Chandra. Mix that with Domri Rade and you can get some serious card advantage.

The Reason Mox Opals price jumped 17$ to 37$ is because the legendary rule changed making it much more playable in several decks.

Manaless is still competitive. It has placed top 8 in two SCG Legacy events in the last 2 months

I don't understand. You stripped down two Phantasmagorians and two Nether Shadows. Those are two of the most valuable cards in the deck. You need Phantasmagorian as a discard outlet. Not only does it let you empty your hand, it helps you out race graveyard hate like Deathrite Shaman or Relic of Progenitus. I can see siding out one Phantasmagorian in game two, but never only having two in the main. Nether Shadow make is possible to win turn two. By cutting them you loose a creatures that gives you consistency. Why are you using Chancellor of the Dross? What does that get you in a deck that mostly combo's out (in your case) for 10+ 3/3 zombies with haste? Why the Blightsteel? Are you planning on not winning the turn Spy hits the field? Since you are not running the Flayer combo why don't you just Dreaded Return Golgari Thug? Blight is great against some combo, but not main. I also don't understand the singleton of Chancellor of the Annex. That is a card that is a four of or nothing. In your case with the diminished number of Phantasmagorian, Chancellor of the Annex would be your only Deathrite Shaman defense.

Really Nice Naya Human Zoo. I have one suggestion. You should try Champion of the Parish over Boros Elite since almost all your creatures are Humans.

You are only using 7 Instants/Sorcery spells. Why are you using Delver?

I have a lot of experience with Death Cloud and Rock. Your not doing a lot of Ramping or really any. You should replace Sylcan Scrying with Farseek or Sakura-Tribe Elder since they both place the land in play . I also think you need field sweep cards like Damnation or Black Sun's Zenith. I know you have Pox and Death Clouds but Death Cloud is a Mid-Range deck. How will you deal with aggro decks like Jund or Affinity. You can't Small Pox a swarm and if they get bigger than your mana pool for Death Cloud your in trouble. I would defiantly main board 2 Black Sun's Zeniths.

PS, I would up your Treetop Villages to 3 main board. He is one of your biggest win conditions after a Death Cloud.

There is a much simpler way to try for a Mindslaver lock. Look up the U/B Heartless Summoning deck from Worlds 2011. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMSKJansKcI
Its an old standard deck, but you could build it pretty cheap and change it up for Modern for not much more. This deck was a beast and when ever I would cast Mindslaver they would scoop. Its a much smoother deck, with more synergy.

I like the deck, you might want to look into using Serum Visions over Gitaxian Probe. I love the you can pay 2 life and draw, but Scry is so Important to this deck. Especially when you are trying to search out a Second Sunrise.
Check out my newest Second Sunrise deck, I call Bitter Eggs. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=277508

Really liking this deck, but you need Semblance Anvils. That should help drop the casting cost of your artifacts and creatures. I run If your building for Modern and not standard you should change the mana. You should look into using Verdant Catacombs. Help clean out your deck from pulling lands when you really want the artifacts... Another Idea is using Dark Steel as a land so you can help with your 3 artifact Sac...

Not bad, look into using Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur. If you can drop him on turn 2 you will speed up your draw, dumping your toolbox and then drop your opponent's hand two Zero.
