Type 1.5 deck combo -any suggestions?

[Killerbob]

Hello CPA ´ers!

Long time since my last visit, but now I need some advice, and I think that the CPA Community would be the right place to ask...

Wizards have finally made my favourite format popular (that is type 1.5), so I´m wondering if I should play tourney at saturday... if only I can make this rogue deck work.
We have had one type 1.5 tourney before. Sligh and Different survivaldecks were dominating, so I guess these will be the most impoortant matchups. I lost big time with stasis. My new idea is some combo-survival:


12 forest
4 bayou
4 wooded foothills
2 windswept heath

4 wild growth
4 overgrowth

4 survival of the fittest
2 shallow grave
4 corpse dance

4 fyndhorn elves
2 elvish lyrist
1 elvish scrapper
1 rofellos
2 llanowar druid
1 wood elves
4 spike feeder
2 caller of the claw
1 deranged hermit
1 triskelion
1 squee


The trick is to have at least 5 landmana on table, llanowar druid on top of graveyard, and play corpse dance. This can be done an infinite number of times, and I will then play caller of the claw with an infinite number of bears. All in opponents end of turn phase. With 6 mana I can make infinite mana, and deal infinite damage with triskelion, or take infinite life with spike feeder.
Survival should make it possible to get the right creatures in hand/graveyard. Of course lyrists, scrapper and deranged hermit are there for general annoyance . Wood elves is nice, since I dont have that much black mana, but I´m not sure hes worth it.

But I´m not used to this kind of deck, and havent really been updated after the newer expansions (since onslaught or so). Did I miss some good creatures with sac-ability? Preferably green, black or artifact, but I guess it would be possible to include a third color. Does there exist some creature with tutoreffect? Maybe a creature which you can sac to mill opponent?
I´m considering mindless automaton to draw cards myself, or wall of much for the same reason, but I dont think they will work.
Control would probably be a lost game anyway...

Should I play living wish? Or vampiric tutor?

Is this deck playable at all? I´m not getting up early to get beaten...
:yawn:

Hope someone has some ideas

EDIT: I guess Nicol Bolas is worth a try. Maybe instead of deranged hermit.

No Squee?

Yes, he´s there -at the bottom

I forgot spike weaver, and should probably include the new guy who makes a regrowth when he enters play. Ravenous baloth might be better than spike feeder. I dont now. Muscles are good, but the main purpose is the 4 life, and then cc3 mana is better than cc4...and spikes can (admittedly only on very rare occasions) make counters for triskelion.
But I dont think the deck will work anyway. Too many manacards needed, and a first turn duress or a deed would spoil all the fun. I´m afraid thats its too easy to disrupt. If I cant get survival going I will just sit there drawing useless mana and weird creatures. Maybe I should find space for duress myself.

Anyway I´m not going to the tourney -someone expects me to celebrate my birthday saturday...this deck has to wait a little.

Gobbo-Sligh and ATS are the current TEIR I decks as of now. I have been studying the format lately at www.mtgthesource.com and those decks are neigh impossible to beat.

However, a deck out of California seems to be doing okay called:

The Zoo RGw (I got the list from an article on Starcity)

4 Goblin Legionnaire
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Blastoderm
3 Werebare
3 Savannah Lions

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Incinerate
4 Fire/Ice
4 STP
2 Tithe
4 Isochron Scepter

4 Plateau
4 Taiga
4 Savannah
3 Wooded Foothills
2 Windswept Heath
1 Mountain
1 Forest
1 Plains

SB://
4 Hidden Gibbons
3 Mother of Runes
2 Honorable Passage
2 Ray of Revelation
2 Naturalize
2 Artifact Mutations

It gives ATS fits and burns Goblins something fierce.

My answer to ATS... It is truly focused on ATS - but handles any creature-based decks very nicely...

4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Blastoderm
4 Blurred Mongoose
4 Eternal Witness

2 Humility
2 Erase
2 Disenchant
4 STP
4 Abeyance
3 Honor the Fallen
3 City of Solitude
4 Cursed Totem

4 Savannah
2 Krosan Verge
1 Kjeldoran Outpost
7 Plains
6 Forests

SB://
3 Damping Matrix
3 Naturalize
2 Hunting Grounds
3 Exile
4 Scragnoth
