So, after losing multiple rounds/games today simply because I could not draw a 4-of in my deck has made me hate standard again.
I wanna actually see the spells in my deck. Ugh.
You should try not to make decks that rely so heavily on a specific card. A certain portion of the time, you just won't see the card you need, so you shouldn't be dependent on it for victory.
I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine. Catpoints: Spoiler:

What are catpoints?
A way of measuring how much I love you.
How do I get catpoints?
1: participate in my forum games/contests.
2: make awesome posts.
3: destroy Carthage.
What can I do with catpoints?
You can ask favors of me. I may or may not agree to your favor, depending on how big the favor is and how many catpoints you have.
Who has how many catpoints?

The games I lost were midrange mirrors, where I didn't draw any Thragtusks and they drew many.
Its not that I generally need Thrags to win, but when my opponent plays 2-3 or more and I see none, its hard to win.
Oh, and I lost a game to Havenghul Lich.

Havengul Lich ?
Was it one of those  FRites decks running around? Just curious is all.

I guess, had Grisly Salvage, Mulch, Deathrite, Thragtusk, Havenghul, Rites, a little bit of removal and Vampire Nighthawk. Might have been some other stuff that I can't remember, but thats about it.
Deck lost hard when I had aggressive draws, but game 1 I never drew any Thragtusks to finish him off and game 3 he had Lich and took the game over.

I figured. I just wanted to see if that was the case. When the version of FRites started showing up I looked through the cards to see what it had that was actually worth using over  for. I saw Havengul Lich and thought to myself, hey, this might be a decent 1 of. Essentially Unburial Rites  number 5 in the deck. Could prove useful since more and more often people are running Slaughter Games  and Unburial Rites is usually one of the go-to targets against Reanimator. Seems like he could be kind of cool with Deathrite Shaman  and Griselbrand  too. Still think the version of FRites is better though.

Deck did better than I thought, but I think part of that is because he had T1 Deathrite shaman every game and I ran no removal.
The games he won he was at 40+ life (hit 60 at one point) mostly because of Deathrites.

At that juncture you should be running Chalice of Life  - the sad part is that I'm not even kidding. It's a gross alternative win con in this sluggish format.
