I like the idea of judges familiar...helps vs control as you stated and is useful as a few pings or a flying chump blocker (nothing gets to me more than being taken down by fliers) lol

I agree, or you could pump him with Ajani and he can trade with a Stormbreath! Lol. Thank you for posting this decklist. I love it when I look at a list and I think it's ridiculous; then I play with it, and it proves my initial judgement wrong!

Ooops, wasn't noting that in my thought-process. I was only thinking Power/Toughness. I traded the Judge's Familiar out for a {Scavenging Ooze} though; seems to be working nicely :)

These are the changes I've made so far:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/boogyman-down/

The only differences in mine and your tweaks is I left Chandra in and only have 2x scoozes and in the side I took out anger of the gods and deicide and added 3x {nyx-fleece ram} (I even made the elspeth for assemble swap) lol

HAH! That's awesome! {Assemble the Legion} is just too good not to be a 1-of in Sideboard. And I've definitely been considering the {Nyx-Fleece Ram} for the lifegain/blocking abilities; but with so much enchantment removal out there, I'm a little hesitant. I also left in the {Deicide} for those match-ups against Mono Blue where you really need to just get rid of all the Thassas. It's like a {Slaughter Games}, but for two mana! The Chandra, I just feel is an afterthought. Sure, I could pig pig pig someone as a win con; but I decided that an extra {Selesnya Charm} was more beneficial, just because it's a lower CMC, instant speed, and it gives more options.

Dem Scoozes make me so happy! They're usually the first to get popped by my opponent; but that's great, because then they waste removal on a 2/2 instead of my Stormbreath or my Polukranos.

You could always destructive revelry
Costs 2
Destroys enchantment or artifact and deals 2 to opponent
So i think that's a great card that might it in this deck
Just a thought

Great card indeed; sadly, it doesn't affect the gods since they're indestructible. That's the only reason cards like {Deicide} and {Revoke Existence} are better, because they exile instead.

I actually decided to go with revoke exsistence for the simple fact it will get rid of {pithing needle} (which would cripple this deck) as well as the gods

Edit: as a sideboard option

TreeSmoker

I'm just talking for when you Knock those annoying orzhov, esper, bant, and azorius control snobs down to 2 or 1 and they decide to dsphere or whip of erebos
You get the win if they aren't all tapped out

LadyGrixis

It's all a matter of preference. I don't prefer Destructive Revelry for several reasons. The first I've already explained. Secondly, the other two cost a white mana and one of anything else, so there's a little more wiggle room instead of one red and one green.

Just a simple question for LG here - why is {Concordia Pegasus} in the maybe board? Is it some secret tech or something.

It's interesting isn't it? I was skimming through all of the creatures that were CMC of 1 or 2, and the fact that it's a 1/3 (fair toughness) flyer made me consider it. Because if it gets to the point where you can buff him with Ajani, Selesnya Charm, or Unflinching Courage, then it becomes a 3/5 or a 4/6, which is always nice. Sadly, it can't trade with Stormbreath; but I'm a sucker for anything horse-related, so it will remain in the maybes :)
