So i removed the milling, and made some adjustments. Also chaned the name. Wht do u guys think. Any recomendations? I have a set of {gideon's lawkeeper} on the way. Was thinking if adding for the tap kill combo?  This deck worked great before, i think i improved now, ppl were saying so srop the mill cause it diluted the deck? How u guys feel on the amount of mana i have, thats prob my biggest worry rt now

I don't think it's worth splashing white just for the combo here.  If it was casual I'd be all for it.  As for the land count, I wouldn't go much less, maybe 23 if you had a something you wanted to squeeze in there.  But this looks to me like a solid control deck and you wouldn't want to miss any land drops.   IMHO

I would cut out some of the creatures. {Onyx Mage} is horrible because your Rats and the Grave Titan already have deathtouch. I would just run:

{Typhoid Rats}
{Bloodline Keeper}
{Grave Titan}
{Consecrated Sphinx} (if you need to give back those Titans)

Everything else is just filler. I would also run {Sever the Bloodline} and {Go for the Throat}. Finally, don't run {Cancel}. Run {Mana Leak} or {Dissapate}, at least.

Tanks for theideas, oddley enough i dnt have a single mana leak. Lol but i have an order coming tomorw with a set of them, to put in the deck. I agree with the onyx mage removal, wht are ur thoughts on the {royal assassin} ive noticed it keeps a lil wall up with my rats, kinda slows their attacks down on me, till i pull the Titan or keeper,

I'm not so sure about the assassin. Typhoid Rats is similar and costs 2 mana less. I would still test it out anyways. See how it goes.

So i am going to make more adjustments adding {frost titan} this will work great with my {royal assassin}. This will pull off the tap sac combo.

If you're going to keep the assassin then I recommend {Frost Breath}.
