Newest EDH build, taken from my Volrath deck and adjusted to be a big, fat mana machine in the hope of spitting out a massive Maga to the dome, or some similar win condition.
Phthisis actually won me a game today. Good old Darksteel Colossus and lifeloss.
I'll definitely try to get a cube and Vesuva. Surprisingly, the Diamond isn't that bad of a mana accelerator. Just another Coldsteel Heart for the deck. I'm also trying to get a hold of a Star Compass.
One thing I did find today while playing is that mana accel is a take-it-or-leave-it situation in mono-black. So any piece of acceleration, mana-fixing, what have you, so long as it produces only black mana, is open for consideration.
Change those swamps to Snow-Covered Swamps for the Extraplanar Lens and then you can add a Scrying Sheets.
Also the land that lets you pay 1 to untap target land makes for a psudo-coffers.
I've been debating about making the switch to snow-covered. That gives me access to Sheets and Mouth of Ronom.
I'm not sure how I feel about Deserted Temple, nor am I sure I really need it. I did a solo goldfish earlier and dropped a Reiver Demon on turn 4. Pretty sick play.
yea, you definitely need the deserted temple to go with coffers/vesuva. this deck should be able to crank out HUGE amounts of mana, and for EDH, redundancy is key.

Maga is truely a big fat bomb, I can't count the number of times i've seen him get countered.
I love the idea and I'll play around with this see how it works. One player we have was playing him and down to his last opponent in a 6 player game. He did a sick 31 points of damage on his opponent with cabal coffers, doubling cube and gauntlet of power out.
Pestilence is a great end game finisher, just have to make sure your life can take it with drain life, soul burn etc...
If you can afford it ... The Abyss is the stone cold nuts in this deck.
I drop it and start dropping Maga turn after turn ... even with rising costs, if your pushing out 40+ mana, a few casts usually call it game even vs 3+ opponents.
I have this EDH, very similar. I have won a number of multiplayer games. I actually have Phage The Untouchable she wins when I drop her and Lightning Greaves and people are like, scoop. : ) If they have blockers, I run a Dauthi Embrace to make her virtualy unblockable.

also, scroll rack deserves a spot
Yes, I do need a Scroll Rack.
I'll test Deserted Temple, then. If it powers up Maga or another kill spell, fine by me.
Also looking at possibly running Pestilence, Dark Depths, and Æther Snap. Any thoughts on those?
