The general used to be Sedris, the Traitor King, but the deck didn't need him, as he avoids abuse so well with unearth's replacement clause causing exile. Thraximundar replaced him because I felt the need for more removal. Thraximundar also just happens to have synergy with my sacrifice effects.
Haunted Crossroads is here for anti-graveyard hate (it's become prominent in my playgroup) and it can massively improve card quality.
The mana base is mostly cards I already had, so I know it's sub-optimal. I may change it eventually, but not soon.
But I will try to get a Volrath's Stronghold
Edit: Forgot deck's function.
The deck simply gets out ETBF and LTBF effects on dudes and recurs/bounces them. The best card by far in the deck is Dawn of the Dead.
I'll think about Crosis's Charm as very versitile removal, and gargadon as a better sac outlet (probably replaces Stronghold Assassin), but the rest I can't really use except Venser, Shaper Savant and I have a strong aversion to counters.
Since you have Trinket Mage, you could easily search for Expedition Map in addition to other artifacts. I actually used it to grab the necessary B to cast my spells. In addition to that, you'll be finding other players have access (or money) to cards like Kor Haven or Maze of Ith so Tectonic Edge is one of your answers.
Isn't Edicts beneficial to Thrax too? Just waste your own creature and your opponent's and your own boss will get 2x +1/+1 greater. You can use that to swing an even more powerful Thrax if your opponent has one more creature left. You also have to think that your opponent might have more creatures than you.
Did you see my edit that stated the purpose of the deck?
The general used to be Sedris, the Traitor King and was strictly based around the ETBF/LTBF effects that he abuses. The purpose of the deck remains the same as before, it just runs on its own and Thraximundar is just powerful removal.
Well, we both have different ways on using our color. However, I'm wondering how effective is your current decklist.
Have you tested them on different occasion in multiplayer games since your deck is designed for that? If so, were there any times that you draw that card and not able to use it in certain scenarios other than its cost?
with it that betrays i know it costs alot but in my play group someone always plays a mana flair effect which allows me to cast sorry i was thinking about my groups play style but he if you get a hold of a Mana Flair try them out
Well, you could tell us what's wrong with your deck by playing it. It's better to know your weakness 1st hand than putting it together without playing it at all. Looking forward with your report.

I'm looking to replace Stronghold Assassin and maybe even Attrition. I need better sac outlets.

Edit:
-1 Stronghold Assassin
+1 Smallpox (Over Barter in Blood because I won't ussually have enough guys to be able to not sacrifice Thraximundar)
-1 Attrition (Couldn't find targets often enough for it to be a real sac outlet)
+1 Fleshbag Marauder

I just don't have enough swamps for mutilate, and not enough search to rely on Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.
Thank you for the suggestions.

One of my friend who used the same color and use Cauldron Dance which he used cards in the graveyard like Clone, Body Double, and even Izzet Chronarch and his hand.... a Bogardan Hellkite or something like Blood Tyrant.
You could also use that Chronarch for recurring Time Stretch, and even Word of Seizing.

The general used to be Sedris, the Traitor King and was strictly based around the ETBF/LTBF effects that he abuses. The purpose of the deck remains the same as before, it just runs on its own and Thraximundar is just powerful removal.
As such, I will try to fit in Barter in Blood and possibly Fleshbag Marauder or even Innocent Blood.
But the deck is not meant to just control and play Thraximundar.
Even if I added expedition map, I would still not have enough tutors to utilize Mutilate so it won't be added.
Izzet Chronarch does not have enough relevant targets for me to use him repeatedly and effectively.
If I ever revise the mana-base, I will add land hate cards like Strip Mine, Wasteland, Tectonic Edge, and Ghost Quarter.
Thank you for your input.

Just costs too much. The effect is fine for the deck but I can't consistently generate that amount of mana.

If my playgroup ever develops to where Mana Flare effets are common I'll try it out, but that probably won't be soon.
