I have had a deck in the back of my mind for a while. Oona, Queen of the Fae Stax. I was inspired by the Tezz Stax list that was in contention in SCG Providence. I think it would be a fun idea. Just spitballing here. Every time I have sit down to put something together it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?? Combos are okay. I am on my phone so can't post the Stax list, but link is http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=45967.
Hey I love block. I have stalker and self-mill that I test regularly. Anyone can hit me up anytime to test some block. Just drop me a chat first to make sure I am open and not in a daily or something.
Your list is very similar to what I want to try except I want to include 1-2 spider spawning,4 splinterfright and 1-2 kessig cagebreakers and splash black/white for vault of the archangel. Another card I have considered is sylvok lifestaff as a 1 or 2 of and brindle bore as a chump blocker that can gain you life. It probably wouldn't hurt to include 4 of some kind of removal,just to deal with pesky threats that you can't chump block.
As much as I love Vault, and I do love Vault if you look at my previous post, is it worth a double splash?
Also, Vault would work in an Esper-Tezzeret-Tempered Steel Control build. Elixir of Immortality , Ratchet Bomb artifact creatures, white life-gain spells and standard removal (Mana Leak, Dissipate, Curse of Death's Hold, Tragic Slip) all make sense here. I obviously haven't given it as much thought, but it could work if there is not too much going on.
Tempered Steel gives you some more board presence, but isn't your win condition, oddly enough. The main point is that it racks up the life gain from your lifelinking creatures, and pairs nicely with a Vault of the Archangel activation. I'd give a second look to Angel's Mercy, which you can use end of turn to get your chalice's flipped, and start ruining the game.
For colors, you're mostly going to be white, with Black splashed for removal and possibly a drain effect, if there is one.
Wurmcoil engine would be pretty good. This is a good possibility.
I have been wanting to brew a viable Chalice of Life deck. If someone figured out how to gain sufficient life and get Chalices out, game over.
Recently, I have been thinking Vault of the Archangel would be very good in this brew, and this is sparking this mentality. I have had 2 ideas at the moment:

Hit me up.
I've played this for a couple weeks now. It is soooo much fun.

After much deliberation, I think Vault of the Archangel is a very good card here.
It could fit in a 4-Color Reanimator build where the main creatures reanimated are Flayer of the Hatebound and Inferno Titan with Vault going when they come in via Unburial Rites. Other card possibilities include The Green 1-Drop mana Crew (Birds, elves, pilgrim), Faithless Looting, Mulch, Tracker's Instinct, Chalice (of course), Phyrexian Metamorph, Gnaw to the Bone(Plan B).

I haven't tested anything yet other than a 5 minute B/W tokens list that didn't work out. Let's make this work!!

There is some good stuff in here. Thank you a lot.

1. A B/W tokens skeleton
2. A W/B/R Frites skeleton with Inferno Titan and Flayer of the Hatebound, which overall, turns out to be kind of awkward mana wise.
Elixir of Immortality seems to be a good card for the deck. Also, Druidic Satchel seems like it could help, maybe. Finally, Buried Ruin for insurance??
Any ideas would be appreciated. Let's Brainstorm!!
I joined the site looking for some advice on a standard deck. I think I will enjoy posting here.
Thanks.
