The biggest problem I can see going Trisk/Eater is Pithing Needle, or to the same extend Cursed Totem. Both cards are seeing a decent amount of play right now with Deathrite Shaman owning the format. That being said, I think that running an alt win out of the side board is probably the best way to go right now, well that or a decent amount of artifact hate.
The only reason that the deck is not played or listed is the same reason mogg fanatic is not as good as it once was. this deck was possibly the most fun deck in its standard but with out damage on the stack the deck loses so much of its gas. i will test it but until then i feel like piloting with out that is like racing an airplane with a car. it just cant compete. but ill test this out and see if i still feel the same. best of luck if you can get it to tick like the good ole days.
@aaronc didnt read that post >< but if you do it during combat now the sacced creature and dad our out of the combat equation. but i do believe you may still be able to use it as a defensive tatic.
There are a couple of things i notice here. the main one is the over abundance of 3cc or less cards that dont get the job done in the board... that was the fact that made this deck good when it was standard (ie hit shusher, or meddling mage), also i would if you decide to run board wipe at 3cc, replace Firespout with Slagstorm because cascading into firespout makes it dead, also Land Tax is banned in legacy. Guttural responce has many better alternatives such as REB or Pyroblast even if they require the red you have enough sources that you should hit it. I guess i might even advise running cards with alternate casting at the higher cost like the one ran in The Cure that gives your opponet 5 life for a 2/2
but by putting dark tulage or night hawk in the list you are taking away from some of the power rdw has and basically making standard red death. ive tried splashing each color in its own rights and the only one i personally found to like is the white splash for condemn/journey/board cards and the 4 of white battle cry 2 drop... Accorder paladin... that might be spelled right
ive been running this deck with an ooze combo and the 2 retainer targets and its been doing pretty good, had alot of rage quiters after i get the lock down but its been good, just beat a mighty quin when he decided to halo the creature with the activated ability not ooze and left no mana for silence. fail...
well i guess its a little late but at the pre-re i was playing an u/g/b infect deck but i won a few games on conventional kills, the first of witch was very lucky, i dont remember what i was at but my opposetion was at 18, his turn, game 3 i have 1 card in hand (tel jalied defiance) 11 avaible mana, he plays a leige. i cry. top deck exsanguate. hit him for 9 i go up nine, staying out of his range, he swings in and hits me with a few things 1 of which was the leige. he makes all his lands 8/8's. i draw my only remaining card to end it, my second and last copy of exsanguate. which i had seen one the game before but never played it. i went on to lose only one series. going 5-1 in swiss. it being 6am we decided to chop the top 8. felt good for a 2 hour drive.
Well, i like this deck, seems fun. But another thought is do they want to loose there first striker, and do you want to make them lose it, or loose way to much life. that's right im talking bout assault strobe. though it is a sorcery, it still gets the job done. and at just one mana if they dont have an answer to it that very well could be gg. i have school then work but ill be able to edit to post my list that im going to start testing when i get home at 930 ish est
no love for kinsbaile cavalier? as a silver bullet or even as a 2 of as a better helping win con. just vial in before damage. and... ta da all your buddies are hitting 2 times.
Lord of the Undead, who doesn't want unblockable critters
said before and will be again... we dont want to cascade into it, it gets in the way.

no he meant 2 of the 3 0cc kobolds to combo with the 3rd on is irrelevant.
also Ad Neasaum + a bunch of these + sickning dreams the dreams doesnt get around you but you would have enough life via tendrils
