Kind of a compromise between BoneBolt and classic Speed Poison. Fails terribly versus any kind of CC but otherwise works pretty well in PvP. It slaps around Mono Aethers and Lava Golem Rushes.

Never seen that Parasite/Voodoo Doll thing before... neat! As for the problems with CC and your Parasites - I doubt Nightfall would help much. Maybe Nightmare to slow your opponent a bit.

Once you up this deck, I doubt you'll need the arsenic because of Bloodsucker's much better attack.

The only way I could see to cure your CC problem would be to use Cloaks; did you try them yet?  Mass CC would still be a problem, but there's not much you can do about that either way.

I thought about Cloak but you are often choked for Darkness and many of the major CC threats come from the hand so there's its hard to know when exactly to play your Cloaks. I also am reluctant to give up Steals as they deal with permanent CC and are in general too good to pass up.

But I'll try 2-3 Cloaks and see how that goes.

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

I have always liked the idea of the voodoo mechanic,  and after seeing this deck i wondered if you could combine this and the most popular use of voodoo doll gravity pull using the Op ability of nova to generate quanta.

I think the deck could use a bit more tweaking but the idea is there and the deck works pretty well.

Deck Build:
I initially had death pends and darkness mark but found i was swimming in death quanta and needed darkness.
Darkness legal for war. just a nice added bonus from that change

Card Explanation:
Voodoo doll: the main damage source of the deck. and target of just about every other card.
Parasite: cheap and is your main combo with voodoo supplying the poison damage.
Mind flayer: kind of an awkward card but it serves to stop momentum, a main weakness of the deck
BB and Gravity pull and fog shield. These are the deks only form of stalling and in turn also damages the opponent.
Lycan: the only really attacking creature: but it makes use of the darkness quanta. can be substituted with a vampire stilletto
Cloak: protection from RT and targetting CC. Especially helpful during the setup when your parasites are most vulnerable.

There is no PC included because the deck is not really hindered by shields or weapons. Especially wince BB on a doll delays the weapon slot.
