I don't think {Phyrexian Obliterator} really belongs here, although bob is a nice touch. I would recommend bumping up to 4 {Liliana of the veil} and 4 {ensnaring bridge} in the mainboard in place of the obliterators.
Quote from: Teysa karlov on January 12, 2014, 08:46:51 AMThe main point of 8-rack is that {The rack} and {Shrieking affliction} are your wincon and the deck isn't vulnerable to creature removal.Quote from: abstractApathist on January 11, 2014, 03:17:15 PM

I'll do some play testing. With your suggestions. Though the obliterators are pain for my opponent and they are I win con.

Have you tried running a version without {Ensnaring Bridge}? I've been doing a fair amount of reading about this deck for modern and legacy and it seems that if you want to get the most out of using creatures (ie Bob) its better to not have the bridge since you can't really attack.
Instead you use more removal spells like {Darkblast}, {Victim of Night} or {Dismember}. Also, if you do go that plan, you can add {Mutavault} as an extra beater that gets around symmetrical sacrifice effects.

I really like this deck. It's also pretty cheap with the exception of {Liliana of the Veil} and {Dark Confidant}, but both of those are Modern staples, so it's not like you'll never use the cards again.
Quote from: Teysa karlov on January 15, 2014, 04:10:56 PMI'm thinking of slapping this together, proxy the pricey cards, and if I like it, possibly invest in the deck.Quote from: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on January 15, 2014, 07:27:03 AM

Quote from: Teysa karlov on January 26, 2014, 08:51:27 PMUnless tokens is in your meta, {Illness in the Ranks} is terrible. Also, what is {Vampire Hexmage} for? I'd swap them out for more {Torpor Orb} and {Pithing Needle} since they bring so many decks to a full stop.
Made some changes to sideboard and landbase.

The {vampire hexmage} is for anti Planeswalkers.
Would run {hero's downfall} but to expensive.
