I wouldn't play this deck without Tarmogoyfs under any circumstances. Sorry, but it's the truth.

Agree, also, Garruk is also needed here(but to a lesser extent.
I also pretty much agree with BassmanARW on most things, but I think Ohran Viper should be here as a 3-of also. Oblivion Ring is what needs to go. I know that you play more white for Wrath(should be Damnation though), but Oblivion Ring should only be either SB, or MD as a 2-of IF you have room(which you shouldn't). Stupor is also a SB card, IMHO.

Alright so I did pretty good with that list I posted a little while ago, I made a couple changes which probably helped:
-3 Chameleon Collossus (couldn't find any for FNM)
-1 Llanowar Elves (Already got the birds, so 6 manadudes seems good enough)
-1 Oblivion Ring (Moved it to the sideboard)
+2 Mystic Enforcer (Next best thing to collossus, the flying really helped against faeries too)
+1 Primal Command (This card won me so many games, especially on turn 4 after a turn 3 Mwonvuli Acid Moss.
+2 Ohran Viper (I dunno, the only two times I got this card to stay down it drew me into game-winning cards that I otherwise would not have had the chance to see...I like it in here still, if only as a two-of)
Oh and I got to borrow 3 of my buddies Murmuring Bosks so I took out a Gemstone Mine, a Gilt-Leaf Palace, and a Caves of Koilos for those.
Anyways, onto the tourney report. I can't remember exactly what order I played people in, but first I think I played against a U/W Reveillark deck that wasn't running the combo (just the CA machine which was still REALLY good) I beat him game 1 and 3, but it was pretty close all three games (sideboarded Mwonvuli's, Krosans, and the third O-Ring are what won me the game).
The second round I played against the best version of faeries possible (he is insanely rich and netdecks every deck he plays...so you can imagine what kind of craziness he's playing). Surprisingly this matchup didn't give me even the slightest headache, the only trouble I had were his counterspells and I played around those with Treetop Villages and cheap spells until he had wasted them all. I have to say, Tarmogoyf is probably one of the best spells to cast when your opponent is sitting on some counterspells that you want them to get rid of, no one wants to see him sitting across the table from themselves. :D
The third round I played against a janky UWB deck that one of the more scrubby players was playing, I beat him pretty easily, although I'm probably gunna help him with his deck cause he seemed like a cool enough dude.
The final round I played against R/B Goblins and lost! I couldn't believe it, his deck was just perfect against mine, he just had too many dudes and I only got to use 1 damnation in both games! Even after sideboarding in the other two!!! Ahh well I still got second place and won 10 bucks, and it was fun as hell too, first time I've gotten to play competitive magic in like 5 months cause the local store finally got reopened. All in all, a good night indeed. :D
Oh yeah, HAPPY 4/20!!!! (Almost...)
peace

Now that I think of it, they won't help me too much except for accelerating... I have Bitterblossom for chump blockers. Other cards to consider: • Thoughtseize  • Shriekmaw  • Nameless Inversion  • Doran the Siege Tower  • Vexing Shusher  ----------------------- I'm thinking of doing: -1 Oversoul of Dusk -3 Garruk Wildspeaker +4 Thoughtseize Should I? ----------------------- Looking for suggestions. Thanks!

You are running no Doran. Also, you are running Oversoul. These are both problems for your deck.
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

I agree. I don't know why you posted this in the Doran thread if you aren't running Doran.
I think the Oversoul is ok (not here), but not as a 4-of.

Oversoul is horrendously slow. In this coming metagame, that's bad.

It's right for certain decks, but not this one.
