This is a deck which i was thinking of making becuase looks like it would be a fun/annoying deck to play/verse. Basically makes use of death touch and also regenerate. I'm looking for more cards that will make use of regenerate for example global removal and bone splinters, so like a disadvantage that isn't really disadvantage cos of regenerate. This is just a skeleton (sorry couldn't help the pun, please forgive me :P) of the deck i was thinking of help me finish it please and give feedback on what i have so far. Thanks
Hmm...mono-black only offers Urborg Skeleton left. (If you don't mind the kicker cost) What's up with Viridian Longbow? That damage won't contain deathtouch, y'know. There's also the problem that this deck relies a bit too much on Death Baron. Maybe a few Bad Moons or so.
Why are you using only skeletons, if you could also include some better zombies?
Also, a Rimebound Dead and only Snow-Covered Swamps is strictly better than Drudge Skeletons and his brothers. It also opens space for a multicolored zombie deck. Maybe a little white for Tidehollow Scullers.

Wait, you realize that Bone Splinters won't work like you think it will, right? You can't regenerate a sacced creature. Same deal with Infest, you won't be able to regenerate after -X/-X effects...why not something like Pestilence? You can regenerate from that, and then maybe use something like Corrupt or Tendrils of Corruption to keep your life up.

Sorry, but "{T}: This creature deals 1 damage to target creature or player." and "Whenever this permanent deals damage to a creature, destroy that creature." actually works very well together.
Also thought about using Angel's Trumpet to force opponent to attack our unkillable creatures, while giving vigilance to them. But didn't tested so far, cause i don't own Trumpet.
Angel's Trumpet looks nice but it requires Death Baron on the board to make it effective.
I don't know about you but I play in a multiplayer environment so Death Baron is essentially dead the second the skeletons hit the board and with no way to protect it, all I'm left with are weak skeleton creatures.
sorry bout all the rule errors haven't played for a while and kind of rushed through the list. Thanks for all the feedback this is what i have got based of it. And also would door of destinies be worth slipping in there somewhere i think it could be pretty deadly
The best skeleton availuable is Skeleton Scavengers, it's almost a slow version of Figure of Destiny but that can regenerate. Just regenerate it EOT of foe's turn, and you'll have a bigger creature at your side.
Without any hand control, this deck is really open to any disruption. Duress, Thoughtseize, Distress (budget version) are really necessary.
This deck needs CA, and Drudge Spell gives it, or control decks will eat ya. Or you use it, or use Night's Whisper / Phyrexian Arena, but without it, you'll be shortly into topdeck mode.
Cover of Darkness is really neat to alpha strike, but this is not NECESSARY, i just a way i took the deck. You can also force the creature removal through Angel's Trumpet.
You can even use my old strategy before Death Baron was out, in a deck i called Waves of Destruction, where Necroplasm took the Baron's place, and kept cleaning the board, while my creatures regenerate.
This deck don't rely onto Death Baron, his just a plus. Skeletons are not weak creatures, in fact, they are very hard to get through. Also Bad Moon just makes them threatier.
Hope being helpful.

"Now i lay you, down to rest, you'll never be more than second best" (Megadeth)
Withering Wisps and Pestilence is bad. For every one mana you tap on it, you have to tap one to regenerate each skeleton. It's too mana intensive to make really viable.
Skeletal Vampire is also underwhelming. For six mana 3/3 flyer it's bleh.
I agree with Halted Asylum in that this deck needs some form of disruption. Augur of Skulls can be nice in following the skeleton theme. Any of the cards he suggested work also.
If you're in a multiplayer environment, Necroplasm is a must as this deck will have trouble against multiple players.

Thats what i was thinking so i agree with you on that one.
Thanks Asylum this is what i have come up with based on your feedback. I'm not sure about the makeup of the deck though i'm not sure the numbers of each card are right what do you think?
4 Spawning pool
18 Swamp
Creatures
4 Drudge Skeletons
4 Restless dead
4 death baron
4 Kjeldoran Dead
3 Wall of Bone

Looks like a neat idea, but there are some already mentioned disynergies in that decklist (infest, splinters). I would suggest following changes:
+18 Snow-Covered Swamp, +2 Scrying sheets (-18 Swamp, -2 Spawning pool)
+4 Rimebound dead (-3 Wall of bone, -1 Kjeldoran dead) : the best 1 mana skeleton
+4 Withering Wisps (-4 Infest) : Pestilence for 3 mana
+4 Bad moon (-4 Bone splinters)
+2 Skeletal Vampire : the best skeleton finisher
Last 4 slots can be anything : removal / lifegain (Tendrils of corruption ?), card draw (Night's Whispers ?), disruption (Duress ?), equipment (Bonesplitter ? ) ... you name it
edit: hm, and where is the Augur of Skulls ?
Sorry, but "{T}: This creature deals 1 damage to target creature or player." and "Whenever this permanent deals damage to a creature, destroy that creature." actually works very well together.
just my 2 cents
