{killing wave}! Sets you up for a servitude, and will affect your opponent in some way, whether it be damage or loss of creatures. And with a {blood artist} on the field, things can get nasty. This style deck is probaly one of the only decks that could run killing wave effectively and competitively!

Never thought about this... But i like it.
Only thing is, what happens when someone drops a dissipate on your servitude? I like the concept but maybe think of some answers to control?

I'll think on it more and get back to you

That is why you run 4. Also run golgari charm to regenerat boardwipes when you dont want them. Also tragic slip and putrefy.

{witchbane orb} SB for control matchups may be good

I mean like that's nice in sb, but i'm trying to think of mainboard answers to counterspells.

I like this, don't get me wrong, but I believe the blue version of this deck, mainly replacing voice with snapcasters, is much more reliable. Check out Rouge Deckbuilders's version on yt, it's really fun.
+1 just for having a immortal deck

I think this build looks pretty good.  Your answer to counterspells is {Voice of Resurgence}.  The deck does not rely on {immortal Servitude} to win, although that is the most fun way to get there.  You can just beat face with 2 CMC guys all day, or just chump block them into your yard until you draw a servitude.  There aren't too many decks that play counterspells right now, and you're resilient to wraths to the point where wrathing will often be detrimental to your opponent.  {Rest in Peace} is pretty much the worst card for you since it counters the death triggers on Voice and {Blood Artist}, so some enchantment removal is a must, but you can probably save it for the board.  I've seen {Skirsdag High Priest} in a few versions of this, along with {Lingering Souls}.  I think this deck is super cool...if I had the lands and Voice I would build it in a second honestly.
A reliable way to get rid of rest in piece is abrupt decay :p
