A grave pact  or Butcher of Malakir  would both be handy additions to the deck.

Thanks, I wonder what I should remove to make room for them.

I've gradually been changing my deck up. This is my planned deck: Commander - 1 Ghave, Guru of Spores  Removal - 8 Mortify  Aura Mutation  Maelstrom Pulse  Barter In Blood  Tribute to the Wild  Vindicate  Aura Shards  Return to Dust  Mana Producers (Ramp) - 8 Cultivate  Yavimaya Elder  Sol Ring  Evolution Charm  Fertilid  Earthcraft  Ashnod's Altar  Darksteel Ingot  Main 'Engine' Cards - 35 Mycoloth  Twilight Drover  Darien, King of Kjeldor  Juniper Order Ranger  Sigil Captain  Chorus of the Conclave  Doubling Season  Luminous Angel  Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter  Triskelion  Kavu Predator  Skullmulcher  Fungal Behemoth  Hornet Queen  Squirel's Nest  Fangren Firstborn  Scavenging Ooze  Selesnya Evangel  Storm Herd  Necrogenesis  Pollenbright Wings  Symbiotic Wurm  Sprout Swarm  Aquastrand Spider  Spidersilk Armor  Vigor  Forgotten Ancient  Asmira, Holy Avenger  Butcher of Malakir Blade of the Bloodchief  Rhys The Redeemed  Mephidross Vampire  Mine Excavation  Blasting Station  Footbottom Feast  Draw & Tutuor - 11 Fecundity  Diabolic Tutor  Etched Oracle  Eladamri's Call  Diabolic Intent  Phyrexian Arena  Primal Command  Skullclamp  Worldly Tutor  Enlightened Tutor  Sterling Grove  Non-Basic Lands - 17 Command Tower  Temple of the False God  Rupture Spire  Kjeldoran Outpost  Evolving Wilds  Vivid Marsh  Vivid Grove  Vivid Medow  Tranquil Thicket  Barren Moor  Secluded Steppe  Golgari Rot Farm  Selesnya Sanctuary  Orzhov Basilica  Oran-Rief, The Vastwood  Deserted Temple  Cirty of Shadows  Basic Lands - 20 Plains  x7 Swamp  x6 Forest  x7 I think the deck is week to flyers and have added, against my better judgement, Spidersilk Armor . The reason I don't like it is because it stops Sigil Captain from working. I might swap Arashi, the Sky Asunder  back in again. I don't like the guildmages they are easy to cast but very expensive to use and as above I didn't choose to take anything that just gives my creatures +1/+1 it needs to be tokens. The most expensive card I think in the list is Doubling Season but it's vital really, as is Ashnod's Altar and Earthcraft There are still cards I keep thinking about for the deck: Nemata, Grove Guardian  because if you have say 40 tokens attacking you can sack any that are blocked to boost the others without messing with Sigil Captain I'm pretty sure I want a Bramblewood Paragon  in there somewhere too. Replenish  seems to be very useful. Academy Rector  to get that Doubling Season or Earthcraft into play. Jugan, The Rising Star  also seems interesting. I'm not too happy about Luminous Angel and also haven't included any Planeswalkers but Lillian, Elspeth Tirel would be great to start with. Phil

Just hit me could try a Doubling Season and some poliferate effects as well. For proliferaate you could use Contagion Clasp  and Plaguemaw Beast  just for starters.

I know Doubling Season , I have been looking for that card for nearly a year and still no luck. But how would Proliferate help? It generates counters, not tokens.

Doubling Season puts also twice the number of counters (second sentence), useful with Sigil Captain which also puts counters on creatures. Does that mean if you play a creature and proliferate, you will have four +1/+1 counters ? :D

Poliferate would help with myocologist  , twilight dover  , fertilid  , Scavenging Ooze and the thalids, and mycoloth  . Could throw a Spike Breeder  and then just pump out tokens. Use proliferate effects to replish +1/+1 counters on ghave.

Ghave specialises in changing counters into tokens and vice versa. The beast, however, would let you add counters to Ghave, Vish-Kal, Asmira, Mycoloth, Twighlight Drover , Triskellion and Forgotten Ancient (they are the ones I picked out of the list). If you've got Juniper Order Ranger or Sigil Captain in play then the creatures you generate have +1/+1 counters on them so proliferate would add to them as well. I'm not sure if you've considered some of the plays for the deck for example: Ghave, Sigil Captain/Juniper Order Ranger and Ashnods Altar? Doubling Season really adds to the options which is why I think it's a must and am considering buying 4 from Australia and then selling three on over here in the UK. I'm not sure if you've seen my other post but there's also a Legend coming in Innistrad and From the Vault that I think rocks in this deck and would also benefit from proliferate. Phil
