10/26/13: Won a 4-player at SCG Indy against Krenko, Mob Boss, Treva, the Renewer, and Borborygmos Enraged.
12/6/13: Won a 3-player against Nath of the Gilt-Leaf and Jenara, Asura of War on the back of multiple insane flips to Lurking Predators. I don't think I missed off a single trigger.
12/10/13: Won a hard fought 4-player against Jenara, Asura of War, Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet, and Diaochan, Artful Beauty.
12/30/13: Won a 4-player vs. Braids, Cabal Minion (he didn't use the commander as it's banned, just needed a mono black general), Jenara, Asura of War, and Zur the Enchanter. Then lost a 3-player to the Zur deck, playing along with the Braids deck again.
1/2/14: Second in a 5-man. Hazezon Tamar, Lord of Tresserhorn, Melek, Izzet Paragon, Sapling of Colfenor. I started off really strong and became public enemy #1. A reccurring aetherize made it so I couldn't really attack alot. Eventually Melek and Tresserhorn died and Hazezon had numerous creatures and a Eldrazi Monument. I Triumph of the Hordes + channel Arashi, the Sky Asunder to take him out. Sapling and I fight back and forth, and I eventually lose to his Lurking Predators + Top.
1/3/14: Someone else piloting the deck won in a 4-man vs. Jenara, Asura of War, Oona, Queen of the Fae (me), and Thada Adel, Acquisitor. Even though the 3 blue decks all had Consecrated Sphinxs on the board at one time, Snakes pulled it out in the end.
1/6/14: Someone else won with snakes vs. Jenara, Asura of War and Sygg, River Cutthroat.
4/2/14: Played against Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Shattergang Brothers. Had a slow start and in addition got my board wrathed early. I rebuilt and started to take back the game. Eventually I had a commanding board pressence and due to my lack of attention, failed to kill Avacyn when I just needed to send one more attacker at her. Lost a game I could have easily won.

You might also try Door of Destinies and for another buffer Adaptive Automaton

All of those suggestions seem good. I'll look into getting them.
Any suggestions on what isn't the best in the deck?

I don't think that Reliquary Tower is necessary. You may also want to look into Snake Basket .

Reliquary Tower is based off my playgroup. There are alot of helpful cards like Otherworld Atlas , Howling Mine , and the like. Not to mention the card draw off of Seshiro

And Ohran Viper instead of Krosan Constrictor ? It is a good snake!

Yeah. It is very sweet. I'm going to be sure to look for alot of the cards mentioned here. The current list is just the stuff I had on hand.

Is Parallel Lives really helping you that much? I mean I'm not really seeing that much token gen to warrant the use of it. Also you don't have one of the best snakes out there, Lotus Cobra ! Also what do you think about Glass Asp as an addition? Nafs Asp is a lower CC of Glass Asp , both look like a lot of fun though.

Firerunner, I agree on the Parallel Lives and that will probably be my next cut. Glass Asp seems interesting by probably not enough of a priority for me to search one out as it's a little low impact.
Eroqnroll, I'm not a fan of epic spells in decks that don't have the tools to make them good. Endless Swarm fits the theme very well, but I don't think I'll be adding it.

Remember that Chameleon Colossus is a Snake, because he is everything.
Lotus Cobra is a Snake too. So are the new Nemesis of Mortals and Nessian Asp , but the latter is bad. Riptide Replicator will make one big, angry Snake.

Lots of good suggestions here, yeah. Maybe consider Steely Resolve in case removal is ever a pain.

Nessian Asp and Nemesis of Mortals are a couple of new fatty snakes that might be fun in here.

Snake Basket is always a funny card, and it would be a usable fit for your theme.

trousseau11: Nemesis of Mortals is already in the deck.
LeIceTea: I'm on the lookout for a Snake Basket
Update: +1 Lurking Predators , -1 Awakening Zone

Wild Pair would turn every creature in your hand into a tutor. Patron of the Orochi is also a very good card for such a deck, as a possible alt general.
