Just wondering, you keep telling people to playtest and it seems like your just goldfishing the deck (not playing against other decks) I playtested this against U/W Tempo and U/W humans and flying blockers, spot removal/bounce, and counters crushed this deck.
Bouncing a Skaab, then countering the replay was crippling. It neutered (if not killed) any splinterfrights and destroyed GY based resources and completely erased your attack.
Yes the sequence that nets you 17 power on turn 4 with unburial/titans shenanigans is awesome but when unburial gets countered you're not in a good place.

@popeyroachI like Elixir of Immortality, but with all the miilling that gets done I'll more than likely never get it. Besides anyone milling me is actually speeding me up.
@ottosmagic12For the spot removal and bounce, did you SB in spellskites? Nothing anyone can do against counters except fight through them, around them, or fight with your own counters. Thank you for letting me know that "COUNTERS" are an issue, negates are in the SB now.

Too bad getting red in is just too much... Things like Faithless Looting and Urabrask the Hidden should be nice to be seen here!

It seems like adding 1 or 2 permanent removal cards would be worth considering. How about Beast Within? You could use it to get rid of any type of opponents permanent and just deal with the 3/3 beast, or you can cast it on something of yours if need be. Also, I did playtest this and the cards came as expected. Great build! +1

Wow I can't believe I overlooked beast within.
Thank you for playtesting the deck, I suggest you play against some real people. It actually does pretty well against other decks, TEMPO decks are the true issue. I've sb'd for that :D
Thanks for the +1

Needs more Black sources. If you're self-milling aaaand, "Oops! There goes 3 of my 4 Black sources!", what do you do about Unburial Rites?

When you're selfmilling you self mill your Unburial Rites also.

I dunno. I'd still like to see some more Black sources. If you draw Unburial Rites, it's dead in your hand until you get a Black source.

I've never had a problem casting Unburial Rites when I wanted to
