So basically the idea is to shut down the opponent with the removal suite until Magus+Umbral Mantle can combo off into a killing Consume Spirit (or just Magus attacking across a cleared board). Alternate win-cons are Dread beatdown (which is fairly common if he gets ritual'ed out early) or Liliana's ultimate (which happens more often then one might thing if the removal is operating as intended-if it isn't, she tutors for combo parts).
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or suggestions, I gleaned a lot from my other deck thread.

These are just some ideas for where you can take the deck. If you can keep your opponents hand and field clear of threats and answers, you can take your time drawing/searching for your 2-3 card combo.
So you could use the mana that Magus of the Coffers + Umbral Mantle is creating to feed the Deathtouch Ping, and when no one is in your way to block untap and attack with your big Magus of the Coffers, Rather then using Consume Spirit as your win condition. And even if you still wanted Consume Spirit around just because you like it theres always your sideboard!
@GPM: I like the idea of adding some discard elements...don't have to kill creatures that never hit the board!
@Kenneth: Tendrils of Corruption/more edicts might be a good idea. Kinda sad nobody likes Ghastly Demise, it was my tech in this deck...nobody expects a kill spell with one mana open.
@Joey: That looks like a fun idea, but maybe one for a different deck. Plus I already have a deathtouch ping deck (mono-red).
