Some Changes
Murtagg, 11 years ago
I decided that having Portent of Betrayal in the deck slowed it down. In order to get it to work, I had to have 5 mana up, plus a Bubbling Cauldron. Since that usually doesn't happen until around turn 6 or 7, I'm already winning or losing. I changed them out for Lightning Bolt I also removed Sanguine Bond for the same reason and replaced it with Dictate of Erebos. Hopefully that will help clear my opponent's board. Still looking for suggestions of course! Still deciding on whether or not to splash white for Gift of Immortality and Athreos, God of Passage.
-3 Sanguine Bond +3 Dictate of Erebos -4 Portent of Betrayal +4 Lightning Bolt

All cards added. Only missing "In Garruk's wake". I'll add it once it's available

In the Mail

The current maybeboard is in the mail, while i got a couple other new additions in boosters, those being Odric, Master Tactician and Gleam of Battle, also got Dynacharge and Weapon Surge and they are now in.

So I got the physical deck, minus the sideboard today. It's a lot of fun! With an average draw it was able to successfully defeat all the other decks it versed consistently, hitting a nice balance of aggro and control.(keep in mind that I casually play with friends, not competitively). The only trouble it had was if I drew a weak opening hand against a pure aggro deck. Over all I'm pretty happy with it though.

Testing

Testing with some random people at Untap.in and never win against aggro and midrange deck.. this is weird.. hahaha

Made a few changes to the deck structure, Athreos, God of Passage actually messed up the flow of the deck a lot by accidentally removing the key enchantment Gift of Immortality when creatures are sent back to hand. Also, Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts wasn't causing board changes fast enough, so now switched to Blood Baron of Vizkopa.

Just thought I'd clear comments cause they hit double digits
The deck is now Casual!

I caved, and figured that since it's going to be in casual play anyway, I might as well make it better.
The additions of Nightscape Familiar and Curse of Shallow Graves should make it hit faster and harder than before.
Chopping block

Stuff I intend to swap out at some point:
Athreos, God of Passage,Clone,Colossus of Akros,Dimir Doppelganger,Filigree Angel,Medomai the Ageless,Myr Battlesphere,Razor Hippogriff,Serene Master,Sharding Sphinx,Sphinx of the Steel Wind,Sydri, Galvanic Genius,Treasury Thrull,Xathrid Gorgon,Darksteel Mutation,Oblivion Ring,Underworld Connections,Elspeth, Knight-Errant,Barter in Blood,Divine Reckoning,Paraselene,Akroma's Memorial,Batterskull,Cranial Plating,Death Denied,Silence the Believers
Won't necessarily swap them out in the near future - most are good in a generic 'artifact goodstuff' deck like this currently is, but I'd like to eventually take the deck in a more combo-focused direction. (or, alternatively, I feel like they're necessary but have obvious upgrades)
Another update
mookie990, 11 years ago
Traded for a bunch of fun things. Huzzah!
-Thopter Foundry - not as good without Sword of the Meek
-Esperzoa - my curve tends to be too high to take advantage of the bounce
-Enigma Sphinx - weaker without topdeck manipulation
-Dakra Mystic - cute, but political really isn't my thing.
-Spear of Heliod - I rarely keep mana open, and it's not worth playing an anthem
-Phyrexian Reclamation - again, awkward to recast stuff.
-Courier's Capsule - low impact, never worth recurring
+Memnarch, Cranial Plating, Fabricate
, Trinket Mage, Steel Hellkite, Everflowing Chalice, World Queller
Added Krark-Clan Ironworks to sideboard, pending getting some more cards to take advantage of it
Mental note: cut more high CMC cards next time.

Azorius Arrester continuously failed to pull it's weight, so it has been replaced by Skirsdag High Priest. Two seemed to be an appropriate number to add, as it relies first on the exploitation of the reanimator mechanic to function at its best. The sideboard has also been modified to address conspicuous threats.
All in all I am quite satisfied with the feel and consistency of this deck in virtual play. It is now on it's way to my house to be battle-tested in casual play, then perhaps FNM. Thank you all for your suggestions and/or general support.
Big Changes
jeboner, 11 years ago
I've made some pretty big changes to the deck and sideboard. I think I've come close to where I want this deck, but any and all suggestions are appreciated.
