This is a very new deck idea I'm working on. I've only tested it a little against my friends and once at FNM. It seems to be working pretty well, I went 2 wins and 2 losses at FNM and have adjusted the deck according to that experience.

The concept of the deck is to mill yourself with Satyr Wayfinder, Commune with the Gods, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and Nyx Weaver, in order to activate Sidisi's ability to create zombies, fill your graveyard for future Whip targets, and be able to play cards like Nemesis of Mortals for as little as 2 mana as well as make Nemesis monstrous for just a couple more, and create massive creatures that just keep on building with Nighthowlers.

Nighthowlers are insane in this deck, as I've come to find out. Even putting them onto an Elvish Mystic can create a huge fighter that will just keep building, and if killed, will just become a slightly smaller creature. Board wipes are nothing against Nighthowlers.

2nd Time at FNM — Jan. 26, 2015

Edit

I had the opportunity to play test my deck even more this last FNM and I have made some slight changes in accordance to my experience.

I went 3 wins and 0 losses (we called the last game a draw to split the winnings, so I didn't even play the 4th round).

Before FNM started I picked up a couple Torrent Elementals and threw them in my deck, replacing the 2 Necropolis Fiends, and since the Torrent Elementals were filling the role of Roar of Challenge, I took them out and put in 3 Negates from my sideboard. This worked even better than I was expecting. The Negates saved my big creatures several times and I was able to Whip out the Torrent Elementals for the win a couple times.

tl:dr I am now mainboarding 3 Negates, and taking out 2 Hero's Downfalls and 1 of my Torrent Elementals.
