So the idea here is a mix of Punisher, a little reanimation, and +1/+1 counters in various forms. Any obvious spells etc you think I'm missing, and/or is anything "cute"?
Don't know why i asked earlier... found it in your sig.
Anyways have you thought about Hamletback Goliath? I know hes kinda fat as far as the mana cost. But he might be worth it.
And if you have Exava out then maybe Spike Cannibal might be worth a card slot to one shot someone. Not sure how practicable this is but it might work... maybe...
Also are you planning on running more card draw? At the moment Im seeing only Spiteful Visions which is awesome for group slug/punisher, but if you were wanting more Disciple of Bolas can be pretty dumb in any reanimator. Also nets you life.

Meh, not too interested. They're just big.

Overall looks fun and very interesting to play.
...Whoops. Should work on that whole card draw thing. Added Disciple and Graveborn Muse. Might add Sign in Blood too, I know I have a ****ton of them somewhere...
I don't know why, but "Blood Mary" rings better in my ear than "Bloody Sunday" for the deck name revolving around the general. Sorry i have nothing to add to the conversation other than this. cheers
Have you considered sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer? You have a lot of undying and persist creatures that can fuel them easily, and if you need to dial up the offense you can sacrifice undying creatures with Excava out to give them haste.

Maybe Exquisite Blood to help offset some of your more universal effects? Yes, it can turn you into an archenemy, but didn't the Manabarbs already alert the table? If that's the case, Exquisite Blood just draws some attention off your punisher effects and helps you the longer your punisher effects stick.
Im assuming your planning on conspiring Traitor's Roar to use it to the maximum, but thought I would bring Backlash forward anyways. Same exact affect minus the conspire; although at instant speed.
Havoc festival seems like it would draw a lot of hate and makes you within lethal pretty easily as well Stormblood Berserker seems really bad because he's so small dragon blood seems underwhelming really spending three mana to give haste (and a 1/1 counter) is not great rix maddi guildmage seems bad he takes a lot of mana to do anything
Havoc Festival speeds up the game and makes it so people can't just sit back and do squat.
Maybe on Berserker, but I'd like to see how he plays first.
I don't like the idea of only having Unspeakable Symbol as a non-creature way to give counters/haste. Have any better ideas?
Au contraire, the Guildmage seems awesome. Some of my creatures aren't too big, so she shrinks down the enemy to a point where I can win combat. Some turns I don't see myself tapping out, so having the life loss ability would be a good way to use my mana and to get me closer to victory.
Darn you vorthos!!! You struck again. I was looking at efficiency mostly not on theme necessarily
Yup lol. My decks always have to start pretty flavorful. After a while if the deck proves it'll stick around, I'll start looking at not as flavorful things.

Fair enough.
Is there some grave/library shuffle effect like the Eldrazi titans that isn't on an Eldrazi titan?

Suppose it was more a curiosity than anything else. Mmm, Darksteel Colossus, but he doesn't really jive with the flavor IMO.
So for later today (12:50 am for me), replace Dying Wish and get some more draw/removal in here.

Thanks to Rivenor of Miraculous Recovery Signatures!
That's a good point. Relevant sac outlets I had in Savra:
Mind Slash
Malevolent Awakening
Innocent Blood
Killing Wave
Victimize
Barter in Blood
Ashnod's Altar
and of course Grave Pact.

In terms of draw effects, I like Sign In Blood, Night's Whisper, Ambition's Cost, or Ancient Craving for some quick draws. If you're looking for just raw draw power, then I think you have to consider Necropotence.
Just a few thoughts, I like the deck well overall.
[Primer] WUB Dromar, the Banisher Stax [SOON TO BE OLORO]
Stranglehold, World at War, Diabolic Intent in line with the sac outlet idea are all on the watch list.
