In response to Fletcher's Angry Gerrard

I must say man that i love your Angry Gerrard Deck and completely agree with you about the power of Haunting Echoes. I made a few changes that i thought might work more toward my playing style and have come up with an early protoype that i derived from evolving ( can i even use that as a verb?) a Mono-Black Haunting Echoes discard into my own version of your deck. In response to the new Pro-red/black white guy out there i decided to throw in a couple Innocent Bloods and after some playtesting found them so powerful that i now maindeck four of them.

Here ya go.

4 Cinder Shade

4 Addle

4 Innocent Blood

4 Diabolic Tutor

4 Duress

2 Haunting Echoes

2 Death grasp

4 Vindicate

3 Ostracize

1 Yawgmoth's Agenda

4 Gerrard's Verdict

4 Terminate

------------------

10 swamps

4 Caves of Koilos

4 Shadowblood Ridge

2 Battlefield Forge

~Sideboard~ (I have yet to work very diligently on my sideboard but have come up with a few things i see that i need)

2 Void

2 Painbringer

What Else do you think i could use? Thanx for reading this and Thanx again if you post it.

Follow up - from Mike

I sent the modified angry gerrard deck in response to your State championships article. I have been playtesting like a madman and have since reconfigured my deck and nearly finalized a sideboard...here it is if you want to replace the old one or just if you want to see what i have done. I have found that the Desolation Angels provide a more reasonable Kill Device than just the Shades alone, along with the power of Yawgmoth's Agenda. I still haven't decided on a name for the deck as i plan on running it on the 10th in Columbus.
