After flirting with Damia, Sage of Stone and Leovold, Emissary of Trest I realized that sometimes this deck just needs a 6/6 Flyer. Damia felt a bit ineffective at 7 mana and Leovold is a bit too much of a target. I could easily slot any of the available Sultai generals in here though, and I probably will continue to rotate through them.
Contagion Engine is nuts, I've recently but it back in my superfriends deck.
The untap function can be applied after attackers, but it is a risk I understand that, that's ultimately why it left my deck. You can tap with Ral Zarek(Although you don't run R being sultai) or Tamiyo(Ultimately her tap ability should be used on an opponent just to remove a permanent that may be important)
This deck has seen quite a few changes since my last update.
I've added a few more planeswalkers and a lot more creature wipes. I'm trying out the two Oaths from OGW, they seem solid on paper, I haven't drawn them yet though.
First off, why Vorosh, the Hunter?

Big shout out to Trev_Ragnar's Sliver Queen Super Friends thread, I got a lot of help and ideas from there to tweak my list with.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Great suggestions, thanks.
Contagion Clasp has already made it in. I dropped Evolution Vat for it.
The others might make it in as well, I'm especially liking Contagion Engine and Black Sun's Zenith.
I would like to eventually pick up Karn Liberated and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. I would also like to improve the manabase at some point.
Cheers!

Wow, Ana Sanctuary is an awesome card, pushes Vorosh into two turn territory.
I'm thinking about trying out Vorel as well, he seems like a strong card for this style of deck.

Mostly cutting chaff for staples here.
Garruk, Apex Predator
Sorin Markov
Jace, Memory Adept (I know, I know)
Liliana, Heretical Healer is another consideration, but I'm not sure I can reliably flip her.
I'm looking at slots to make room for more walkers, and the more I look at it the more I'm not sure of the +1/+1 counter theme in here.
It is actually the more successful aspect of the deck most of the time, but would I be better served if I moved more towards control?
I'm curious if anybody has opinions on the matter.

I do like Gilder Bairn, I believe it used to be in the deck.
I'm not sure it is better than Contagion Clasp though, having to attack with it is rough.
Contagion Clasp isn't in here either, maybe I should make room for both.
The idea of Viral Drake is also growing on me.
Contagion Engine is nuts, I've recently but it back in my superfriends deck.
The untap function can be applied after attackers, but it is a risk I understand that, that's ultimately why it left my deck.

Viral Drake is cool, but it costs 4 to activate just like Contagion Engine. Again, running an untap ability like Ral Zarek or Tezzeret the Seeker to get a bunch of loyalty counters. Tezzeret is a baller with Contagion Engine and The Chain Veil together though.

I'm considering Nissa, Voice of Zendikar as well, just waiting to see if her price cools a bit.
I am planning on sprucing up the mana base a bit more as well, I just haven't got around to it.
