A couple of players running this in my meta, I think they settled on fleshbags as their answer to chameleon. It's something...

Probably a good idea to run Infests MD due to the massive popularity of Soldiers and Elves.

I don't see why Trip Noose  is not used. Fleshbag isn't a 100% way to deal with it - Noose is.

Fleshbag always works for me. I've never had to use Trip Noose. A positive thing about the Fleshbag is that he stops the CC in one turn vs every single turn.

No. Only if the card says it counts as a swamp and forest. This is a nonbasic land.

I really don't see how you can make the game go in your favor for Fleshbag against collossus. If they have other creatures and you don't draw into your Fleshbag or keep the board clean, you're going to get rolled very easily by CC. Fleshbag is unreliable hands down.

What you can do is use other removal. Profane Command  is also very helpful. Use profane's -X/-X ability, as well as the reanimator ability, bringing back fleshbag. After everything but CC is dead, it has to be sacked. Sweepers like Infest and Earthquake (if you're playing with a red splash) help kill other things too. ('quake can also kill it). But in an aggro-heavy meta, it's hard to kill everything besides CC. Especially with GSS also in the meta...
Decks I play:
Esperghast, a deck filled with tech over the brim.
Jack’s Beanstalk Army, a land-ramping token deck.
NayaFire, a combo TurboFog deck that wins with Runeflare Trap.

Here's my take on this deck, with the cards i have atm: 22x Swamp  - might add in one more swamp.. 2x Leechridden Swamp  24 spells 4x Corrupt  4x Tendrils of Corruption  4x Duress  - no moneyseize, but this works fine 4x Sign in Blood  4x Doom Blade  2x Lilliana Vess  - tutor, discard, really worth it imo 2x Scepter of Fugue  - surprise discard that works well so far 12 creatures 4x Black Knight  4x Hypnotic Specter  - i plain like it :D 4x Murderous Redcap  - nice little critter, against heavy burn a good Tendrils target :P Its still under construction. Im a budget player, and i dont want to invest into expensive cards that rotate, so im gonna try and manage with what i have (Corrupt is cheap and needed, obviously, but i guess Consume Spirit will come in its place post rotation in case nothing better comes). The deck seems to work fine overall, and of course has problems with pro B creatures. Thus the side i am working on: 4x Fleshbag Marauder  4x Deathmark  4x Infest  3x Memory Plunder  The way it looks like now, im trying to incorporate some big finisher like Dread  , Midnight Banshee  or, (best option post rotation so far imo), Nyxathid  in the deck, along with some Makeshift Mannequin  , because it seems to go well with the Marauders and Redcaps, mb even add some Shriekmaw  instead of the Blades if thats possible. Im willing to try the red splash with 4x Terramorphic Expanse  + 1 Mountain instead of 4 Swamps, and add in some Puncture Blast  vs pro black, or even put Earthquake  as everyone suggested, but id like it to stay mono if its really not needed. One more thing, is the deck thinning with terramorphics still a good idea, or should i go with with the setup i have now? Thx in advance for any advice, i hope with some tweaking i can surprise some people with the deck at FNM this week :D.
