alright, i've got no budget limit on this build, so fire away at any ideas or things that could help this deck, i want to make this as good as possible, while being rav. block.

this is what i have right now:
4 godless shrine
4 overgrown tomb
4 temple garden
5 forest
3 plains
2 swamp

4 order of the stars
4 loxodon hierarch
3 gleancrawler
3 wood elves
3 ghost council of orzhova
2 angel of despair
2 grave shell scarab
2 blazing archon
1 tolsimir wolfblood

3 debtors knell
3 farseek
4 putrefy
4 mortify

the only card that isnt rav block is wood elves, any idea how to replace?

you have no way of getting cards into the graveyard for the knell, there's no point in the order of the stars, as in rav block every deck is gonna packs 2-3 colours at least.

i thought about that too, and i can always sac them with ghost council, or even kill em with putrefy/mortify, or swing my guts out.

My GWB list
3 Plains
3 Swamp
5 Forest
4 Temple Garden
4 Godless Shrine
4 Overgrown Tomb
2 Vulturous Zombie
4 Loxodon Hierarch
4 Grave-Shell Scarab
4 Farseek
4 Birds of Paradise
3 Necroplasm
4 Keening Banshee
4 Mortify
4 Putrefy
4 Angel of Despair

You really seemed to ignore the fact that Glare would own your version of the deck. You simply had no way of dealing with it other than 2 angel of despair or a miracle fast blazing archon. Not so good. A case could easily be made for using signets instead of the other accel thats in this deck. Just something to consider.

OMFG....Wood Elves is savage tech Very Happy

There's nothing like Wood Elves. The closest being Civic Wayfinder on the creature side or Farseek/Signets on the mana accel side.

Take your pick.

Carven Caryatid is nice against Aggro.
Rolling Spoil is good against Glare, definitly 4x as this is prolly your worst matchup.
Moratorium Stone is good for a lot of matchups.
