If Cloudpost is as oppressive as it was stated (ruins diversity, it's overpowered etc.) and we aren't sure about the rotation date, then I think it must be banned before rotation.
Well, Flaring Pain works for 2 turns which is enough a lot of times, but if your match is against White Weenie or Soul Tokens, well, I always considered those really bad matchups anyway.
I think Mardu Scout is pretty bad in the format, as it's a 2 drop that dies to anything.
It might be a fine sideboard choice against non creature decks though, but not main.
Besides this, your list is pretty the standard. I would include one or two Goblin Heelcutter in it. It does a lot of work.
I don't like 8 copies of Mogg Raider/Sledder, I always use 6. You are fine when 1 sticks on the board and those guys alone are pretty bad. I play the playset of Arsonist. (They are very good with the Raiders/Sledders and with the Grenade).
I'm not sure if we can discuss paper only lists here in the online thread. Personally, I don't mind.
I like having extra creatures in the sideboard, it makes bad matchups like jund better because they can only have so many discard spells and removal spells. Also, what do you think of postmortem lunge for the board? It can reanimate a dead creature for a turn to get in that last bit of damage.
I think you may give it a try for a grind matchup where you gather the pieces and then go all-in bringing back the creature, but I don't see it as reliable as it might seem.
i'm seriously interested in tapping into this deck.
Just for fun sake, love to try out Prowess Dudes!
Is there a reliable way of splashing a Color?
Green for pump, black for discard?
Also, isn't Bedlam Reveler suppose to be pretty good here?
Maybe stuff for the Sideboard against Jund or UWR?
Bedlam Reveler is a nice card but it seems to slow in this build, I think. The time you manage to put it on the table, you probably already are on a really bad shape.
Our matchup against Jund and Control decks is pretty hard, but I don't really know if we have any solution without dilluting the deck's core idea.
For budget reasons, I don't splash, but I don't know if splashing really manages to improve the deck.
I went 2nd place with a 3-1 record (2-1 without the bye) on the Single Elimination event Modern Inquisition at this monday, it's a Player Run Event on gatherling.com, check it out.
Defeated MonoGreen Stompy 2-1, two attrition games and one game that I just comboed off on turn 3 for the win.
Defeated Bogles 2-0, two amazing games, one I think I managed to deal 30 damage on the last turn even with Path to Exile removing one of my threats.
Lost to Death and Taxes 0-2, this is a very bad matchup. Game 2 I probably could win if my draws were a bit better, though.
That is so nice of people to choose to refrain from using Cloudpost, out of compassion for their fellow Mages.
I also will abstain from Cloudpost this week, choosing to become a pure Black Mage.
I discovered that the card NECROPOTENCE is showing as Legal when I searched the Heirloom Legality Checker. And it is not listed as a banned card on page 1 of this forum (as at the time of posting this message). Does this mean that I can go wild with 4 copies of this card and go to card advantage heaven?
We use the Legacy filter, in which Necropotence is banned.
It's a lot more resillient: the creatures are better, you have a lot of creatures (1 drops and 2 drops), not only 12 or so like Infect. Infect is an explosive deck, but Stompy is far miles above because of its consistency.
I don't think it's worth. Your opponent can just play in sorcery speed mode and the best you get is a 3/5 with 0 devotion for 3 mana. (Or 1 devotion if the rules were changed)
If Cloudpost is as oppressive as it was stated (ruins diversity, it's overpowered etc.) and we aren't sure about the rotation date, then I think it must be banned before rotation.
The rotation happens some time after a standard set release.

I think I should update this primer anytime soon with this succesful list. Explaining the variants. (as this formely was a non Reanimator deck)
Congrats, muuchan!
Also, will you publish a topic with details on the event?

Here are the list and matchups.
Yes, not tier 1 decks on my way, but I was impressed by how consistent my deck and plays went through the tournament.
Young Pyromancer made my last game against Goblins so much easier.
