WOW there are so many good cards for this deck, didn't realize it when I first came up with the idea. I can't believe no one suggested it but I was looking at it and thought that Goblin Bushwhacker would be pretty bonkers here so am adding him.
Dude, you don't have to do mono white. You can do green / white and you can do it well. The secret to it is revolving the deck around the Ageless Entity + Wall of Reverence combo. This combo is beyond bonkers, Ageless Entity's p/t will double each turn and you gain that much life each turn. When done right it's extremely hard to stop.
Stairc: I'm looking to make a deck that features The Abyss to destroy aggro and Bottomless Pit to mess with combo and control, it would be for multiplayer. I'm having problems completing the deck hope you can help man. Here is what I have so far:
I'm pretty happy with this deck, played it in 6 player FFA and came in second two games in a row. Am taking out one Flooded Grove for a Reliquary Tower though. Venser's Journal would be good but just have no clue what I'd take out for it.
So I got an idea to play The Abyss with Bottomless Pit. This would essentially shut down all aggro decks via The Abyss and seriously screw control and combo pretty hard via Bottomless Pit. However, I am unsure of where to go with it from this. As of now I am thinking of keeping it mono black, but am willing to splash if it makes sense.
Here is what I have for sure right now in the deck:
I am thinking of taking it a few different ways. These are:
1. "Group Hate": A play on the "Group Hug" deck, except insanely evil. This version would combo what I have with Font of Mythos, Howling Mine, Underworld Dreams and Psychosis Crawler.
2. Exsanguinate: Stick with what I have and have Exsanguinate be the win condition. The problem with this idea is though I'm not sure of what else to add besides what I already have.
So any thoughts on where I should go from here are appreciated. Note, price is not an issue my group allows unlimited proxying (which should be obvious from the four The Abyss in the deck).
AEIOUsometimesY: I just noticed you can only activate Birthing Pod's ability as a sorcery, so what I was trying to do with Winged Coatl won't work. I'm replacing it with another Man-o-War. Not really interested in going to the 7 CMC slot as I feel my 6 CMC cards are all good win conditions and are all there for different reasons.
Hmmm, I just realized I don't have any spot removal, I'm gonna have to find a way to add some, probably Beast Within as I just love that card.
On Humility I'd go mono white control with the win condition as Elspeth, Knight Errant. There is a white enchantment that makes it where creatures with power 1 or less cannot attack you, you would definitely want that.
The Mindshrieker does look cool though.
Definitely you also want four Scalding Tarn over four of your basics for mana fixing.
Take out Augury Owl for some real draw.
Skullclamp is just evil, so adding it.
Also took out two Guul Draz Vampire for two Grim Lavamancer.
Here is my green / white Ageless Entity + Wall of Reverence budget deck:
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Sunpetal Grove
8 Plains
8 Forest
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Wall of Omens
4 Ageless Entity
4 Wall of Reverence
3 Canopy Cover
3 Oblivion Ring
3 Sylvan Library
Instants: 4
4 Path to Exile
4 Harmonize
3 Primal Command
Overall this deck will costs you from $50 to $60 and will play very well.
4 The Abyss
4 Bottomless Pit
1 Vampiric Tutor
4 Syphon Mind
1 Demonic Tutor
I am thinking of taking it one of two ways:
1. "Group Hate": A play on "Group Hug" where I'd use Howling Mine and Font of Mythos with Underworld Dreams and Psychosis Crawler.
2. Exsanguinate as a win condition
I'd lose the two Calcite Snapper for two more Sphinx of Jwar Isle. I'd also lose the Inkwell Leviathan for another copy of Plumeveil.
Overall, it looks pretty good though.
Also Ranger of Eos would be good to fetch Serra Ascendant and the Warden's.
Primal Command is also really good in a life gain deck.
Losing Lava Spike for Thoughtseize.
Thanks for the comments and advice all.
Any suggestions on how to improve this deck are appreciated.
Please keep in mind I want the whole deck to have a CMC of 1.

Or you could go B/W and combo Humility with Night of Soul's Betrayal and go creatureless and win via a huge Exsanguinate.
I'd favor the mono white control route, but it has been done and done by tons of people, the B/W version would be much more unique.
Will help out more when you decide what colors you want it.
