When Serrated Scorpion dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield), it deals 2 damage to each opponent and you gain 2 life.

Added some new cycling creatures from LOTR as well as Drannith Stinger for extra damage and Serrated Scorpion for a draining blocker.

I’d suggest something along the lines of (as an example):
- 4x Desecration Demon
- 4x Gatekeeper of Malakir
- 4x Blood Artist
- 4x Serrated Scorpion
- 4x Geth's Verdict
- 4x Fatal Push
- 4x Sudden Edict
- 4x Tribute to Hunger
- 4x Infernal Grasp
- 1x Bastion of Remembrance
- 1x Grave Pact
- 22x Swamp
legendofa on best draw cards for modern …

As a thought for Vexing Devil, it could work with cards like Claim / Fame and Call of the Death-Dweller. Fill it out with something like Serrated Scorpion and Perilous Myr, maybe some sacrifice effects like Viscera Seer, and that might be a decent casual deck. (Dumping ideas off the top of my head, so I'm sure there are better card options.)

Hey, nice card changes, but you now have less lands than before and are below 30 lands? You shouldn't cut lands to add other cards since you need lands for your deck to function. If you need more room to fit other cards in then some advice is to streamline the mana curve by choosing the best cards at 4 CMC or higher and cutting the others. Chatterfang is a great upgrade especially because you have Plunderer. Cutting The Ozolith was the right choice; great that you see that.
Making a basic structure for your deck would help you're deck building:
- 35-36 lands
- 25 creatures
- 10+ ramp
- 10+ draw includes tutors
- 10- removal includes board wipes, counterspells
- 5+ flex spots includes combos, win conditions, unique cards with your Commanders, special tech against your playgroup, etc.
This is just a basic structure to start, not all areas are covered and some areas can have different amounts. The most important part of this structure is the amounts of lands, ramp and draw since these areas that make your deck function. Some cards can go in many areas which is really what you want from the cards you play. The combos you're trying to assemble take a lot of mana (made up of four and five drops) thus it would help gameplay having 35-36 lands and 10+ ramp sources.
Some cards that could be cut to add lands, improve the deck structure and streamline:
- Victory's Envoy
- Drizzt Do'Urden
- Dramatic Finale
- Tendrils of Agony
- Archon of Sun's Grace
- Leonin Warleader
- Felisa, Fang of Silverquill
- Icingdeath, Frost Tyrant
Some cards that could be cut to add more ramp and draw:
- Serrated Scorpion
- Vorpal Sword
- Shaile, Dean of Radiance
- Indulging Patrician
- You Happen on a Glade
- Banishing Light
- Trelasarra, Moon Dancer
When you streamline you cut the lesser cards that are at the top of mana curve. Ghave, Guru of Spores and Sporemound are two best five drops here because they're part of combos. Shadrix Silverquill can be tons of repeatable value. Wandering Archaic  Flip, Mirari's Wake and Inkshield are powerful for five mana. Victory's Envoy is not needed because one of Shadrix modes is to put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. Envoy and Drizzt Do'Urden aren't good enough to replace any of the other five drops. Ikra is also a five drop which have to keep in mind.
Pitiless Plunderer and Life and Limb are the two best four drops here because they're part of combos and Akroma's Will is powerful. Damn and Devastating Mastery are also four drops since consistently they'll be cast for four mana. Rhox Faithmender is fine, but you're not really going for life gaining strategy. All the other four drops could be cut since most of the three drops here are better. Prava create a token costs four mana which should keep in mind.
One drops are great in Commander, but even a one drop has to be worth one mana which Serrated Scorpion and Vorpal Sword aren't. Vorpal may be one mana, but it takes more mana with strict color requirements to actually use it and you have much better equipment here that you would rather spend mana to equip. Scorpion is not needed because you have Blood Artist. These two are examples of cuts to add more ramp or draw.

Hey Balaam__,i hadn't noticed this deck ^^.Put some ideas:1) Cryptic Caves or Barren Moor in the mana base? 2) Sanctum of Stone Fangs or you want to do damage only with istant and sorcery? 3) Play Serrated Scorpion,it's very strong!!!

I recommend running Serrated Scorpion over Vampire Cutthroat/Vampire of the Dire Moon

I'd cut the bad stuff and lean 100% into the enemy lifegain theme. This means up to 4 Tainted Remedy plus 4x Kavu Predator , and cut Idyllic Tutor , Serrated Scorpion , Twilight Prophet , Gonti's Machinations , Roiling Vortex , etc.
I know Blessed Alliance and Rest for the Weary are used with Tainted Remedy, but the best cards with Remedy are ones that have a "drawback" that involves your opponent gaining life and Remedy/Kavu turn that drawback into an advantage. I see you already have Wall of Shards and Grove of the Burnwillows , which are classics. Some other ones are Oust , Fiery Justice , Solitude / Condemn , Devour Flesh with Nature's Claim for the sideboard. Alms Beast is also funny.
Atomic_Spider on Daemogoth Titan Pest Deck

I'm trying to build as good of a standard deck as i can utilizing cards like Daemogoth Titan - cheap, overpowered card that makes a good target for my tend the pests Wurmcoil Engine - good board wipe, tons of damage, usually ends games Tend the Pests - My main/secondary win condition, sac my titan for 11 pests Serrated Scorpion -creatures that like to die Murder <- or other better removal
Could someone build me a good decklist with this main idea in mind? i'm not too up to date with the last 8 or 9 sets so i'm not sure what other cards are out there that can help me. as a bonus - if you could link a modern version of the deck as well that would be amazing to
