I was thinking about building a similar deck with the cards from the new set!

Why the Orzhov Guildgates? Put in Sunpetal Groves/Woodland Cemeteries/Isolated Chapels instead. Seeing as you have arbor elves in there, you are still considering the blocks that will be rotated out in September, so these lands are more worth it than guildgates.

I really like the idea of extort with the archangel of thune, since each trigger activates separately, your creatures will get huge quick. Perhaps a 3rd Archangel of Thune will ensure you have that combo more often will be better, and since you have ramp having one more creature with CMC of 5 wont hurt. I would personally take out the Obzedat, Ghost Council for the 3rd archangel.

Nice! Yeah I think it will be a great combo in standard, provided that Archangel of Thune is fast enough for tournaments. The reason why I left out the Innistrad lands was because of the cost and the fact that they're rotating out. I'm guessing their price will tank when Theros comes out.

I want to keep Obzedat because he's great against control. I currently play American Midrange so I'm use to playing AEtherlings. But yeah I will throw in an extra Archangel of Thune.

What do you think of adding Thragtusk, Restoration Angel, Sin Collector, Gyre Sage, Deathrite Shaman or Centaur Healer?

[lusantos]

i think centaur healer perhaps as a SB for aggro decks, i like deathrite and sin collector as SB. Tusk and the angel will rotate out soon so they're probably not worth it to get more of now, but if you have some they're great cards.

why is obzedat good against control? is it just because of his phase out/in ability?

[dsims9t]

I have Restoration Angel, but no Thragtusks, so I'm probably not going to run either of those or Centaur Healer. I think I'm probably going to be running mostly black/white with a splash of green for Deathrite Shaman, Scavenging Ooze and Abrupt Decay. I'm still undecided on Vraska, The Unseen.

As for Obzedat it's phase in/out ability is great for Archangel of Thune plus it's resistant to board wipes, provided they're not running quicken.

no splash of green for varolz, the scar-striped? lol

i still havent decided if i wanna run green yet, but here's the link to my similar deck: http://deckstats.net/decks/5415/22877-xathrid-junk-tokens/en

Yeah this deck definitely doesn't absolutely need green to function. I was debating whether I wanted to drop green or black, but I think I'm staying with 3 colors in case I want to eventually run voice of resurgence. Also scavenging ooze's/deathrite shaman's ability combo's nicely with Archangel of Thune.

Xathrid Necromancer combos nicely with Doomed Traveler. Maybe you should consider putting some more human tokens onto the battlefield with cards like Gather the Townsfolk or if you splash red consider Thatcher Revolt. Also have you considered sideboarding Lifebane Zombie?
