Notes:
This is my first deck that I've put together by myself, so please tell me what I should add, take out etc.

This is an interesting deck. I've just started a B/G deck so here's my two cents.

{Black Cat} over {Drainpipe Vermin}. Your flying defence is a bit low so I'd actually cut both for two more {Deadly Recluse}.

Drop some of the singles like {Child of the Night} and for sure drop {Satyr Grovedancer} in favour of a playset of {Elvish Mystic} or {Voyaging Satyr} for some mana ramping.

{Axebane Stag} is a terrible card. I'd run the new {Hornet Queen} in favour of that if you can get your hands on one. I'd also drop some of the Gorgons as they're weaker cards in this theme.

Cut stuff for a playset of {Pharika's Chosen}.

{Sluiceway Scorpion} and {Pharika, God of Affliction} don't get along well. Cut the scorpion.

And here's some new cards.
{Bow of Nylea} adds more deathtouch, while pinging off fliers, gaining life, buffing stuff or saving you from mill.
{Chariot of Victory} with all your deathtouch four of these is a given. First strike, trample and deathtouch is a deadly combo.
{Nylea, God of the Hunt} trample adding to all your deathtouch.

The goal is to have trample and deathtouch on your creatures. Grab first strike equipment if you can. Cut your singles and the weaker instants and sorceries. I'd also cut {Howl of the Night Pack} and {Raised by Wolves}. If you're lucky enough to grab a {Garruk, Apex Predator} he fits perfectly.

Whoops, :P still getting used to this app.

Thanks a bunch bro, I'm about to order alot of new cards, so I'll try to get {nylea} and her bow, and I'll try to get an {archetype of finality}. I'll take in to account all the changes you suggested (I really just had the {drainpipe vermins} in there for some T1 playable creatures, but they don't come out often :P)

{Archetype of Finality} fits perfectly. I'll actually probably get some for my B/G deck. As for the {Drainpipe Vermin} I assumed so. Between {Elvish Mystic} and {Pharinka's Chosen} you should be set for one drops, assuming you take that path. {Necrobite} and {Mending Touch} are two more cards that'd be nice.

I think I have a {mending touch} from when I opened a dragons maze fat pack. I also just ordered an m15 fat pack and an m15 deck builders toolkit!  Can't wait til August 2nd :P

The dbt will have a  {Terra Stomper} that'd fit well. Keep an eye out for those {Hornet Queen}s. They're killer. If you can get your hands on a prerelease kit I had better pulls from those than dbts.

Update, FINNALY switched out the drainpipe vermins with elvish mystics, once my m15 cards get opened, I'll continue editing this deck

ibtrickey

It is standard until October when rtr goes out:)

Popper23345

Another update,

Put in {hornet queen}
{terra stomper}
3 {Necrobite}
And 2 more {elvish mystic}

Took out 2 {drainpipe vermin}
{artisans sorrow}
{colossal heroics}
{Axebane stag} and {child of night}

What would be some good side board cards for this deck?

Tabooist

{Golgari charm}. It can help against board wipes or pop some mana dorks if necessary. I only glanced at the list but it's handy in a pinch. I noticed you had some of your own mana dorks so use carefully.

LinkCelestrial

{Putrefy} if you need more removal.
