faunvine

Hi, I've been working on this deck for a while now and I just wanted to post it somewhere to get suggestions.

Creatures
4 Vengivine
3 Gravecrawler
3 Fauna shaman
3 Birds of paradise
2 Basking rootwalla
1 tombstalker
1 memnite
1 vampire hexmage

Spells
4 Entomb
4 daze
3 Force of will
3 Thoughtseize
4 Brainstorm
1 Life from the loam
3 Intuition

Plainswalkers
2 liliana of the veil

Lands
4 bayou
3 underground sea
1 tropical island
4 verdant catacomb
3 polluted delta
1 misty rainforest
1 volrath's stronghold
1 dark depths

I havent worked on the lands that much, I think the land base could be a little more loose to not worry about wasteland and it probably needs more kill spells for the main. As for birds instead of deathrite is because I wanted guaranteed mana ramp, I could be wrong with that

I realize that it is similar to the survival decks that were rampant, that's what I was going with. Like I sayed I would just like some possitive suggestions.

I would drop blue and instead splash red for Goblin Bombardment and possibly Faithless Looting and a couple of bolts. At 14 blue cards you're going to be struggling with Force of Will. Intuition seems sweet but I'd say looting + liliana should be able to get your Vengevines into the yard. Alternatively you could see if you can find room for one or two Buried Alive.

Having tested a similar deck to this I can tell you that Fauna Shaman is slooow. Instead I'd go for playing another discard outlet to dump your hand such as Lotleth Troll or even Wild Mongrel.

Bloodghast seems like a card you'd want to be playing. I'd also drop the Dark Depths Hexmage plan as it seems too narrow and both cards are more or less dead without each other (okay, the Hexmage can kill a planeswalker which is nice). I'd also find room for Abrupt Decay and drop the birds of paradise in favor of Deathrite Shaman.

This used to be a viable deck when Survival of the Fittest was legal. Not so much now.
