I came up with this combo using Fugitive Druid+Whip Silk+Cadaverous Bloom. The combo works by getting into play a Fugitive Druid and Cadaverous Bloom, then casting and recasting Whip Silk on the Fugitive Druid, drawing cards and at the same time putting the spells on the stack, then finally finish your opponent off with a Tendrils of Agony. I know this combo seems rather janky and inferior to other combo decks such as Draw7 and Dutch Tendrils, but I just want to make it work. I was thinking of maybe adding control elements and disruption such as Duress, Hymn To Tourach, Unmask and Pernicious Deed. I was pondering the idea of which mana accelerators to use such as Eladamri's Vineyard, Emerald Medallion, Moxes and Land Grant. Any suggestion on card choices for a possible deck design would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but what I want to know is this: Your idea bears remarkable similarity to the goal of Enchantress based decks. I think the use of Whip Silk and Cadaverous Bloom is definitely interesting but I think you'd be better off dropping the Fugitive Druid and use the Enchantress cards: Argothian Enchantress, Verduran Enchantress, and Enchantress's Presence. If you find that doesn't leave you with enough card drawing, only then would I suggest the inclusion of Fugitive Druid. As a sample, the deck might look like this:

Creatures (16)
4 Argothian Enchantress
4 Verduran Enchantress
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Wall of Roots

Enchantments (15)
4 Whip Silk
4 Cadaverous Bloom
4 Enchantress's Presence
3 Phyrexian Arena

Other Spells (7)
3 Dark Ritual
2 Consume Spirit
2 Tendrils of Agony

Land (22)
14 Forest
8 Swamp

***

You may notice that I include two kill mechanisms: Consume Spirit and Tendrils of Agony. I do this becasue 1) Consume Spirit can also be used to pick off key creatures and 2) Even though you have a powerful draw engine, if it comes up, there's also the possibility that you'll never see a Whip Silk. In that case, merely having a handful of cards to pitch to Cadaverous Bloom will fuel a big Consume Spirit for the win. Otherwise, go with plan A and recur a Whip Silk a lot, then cast Tendrils of Agony for the win (Dark Ritual included to ensure that you will be able to, since the Whip Silk Engine takes up both the the green mana that Cadaverous Bloom generates.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Ephraim: When I first built this deck I did indeed run Argothian Enchantress and Venduran Enchantress. My build looked very similiar to yours. The first time I posted it in the Newbie forum they scoffed at it saying it was unviable as a four card combo. That's the main reason I resorted to Fugitive Druid to cut it down to a 3 card combo, but I later found out that was even less viable. That enchantress build you have their seems a lot more viable and more consistant. I do suggest running Bayou though to smooth out the mana base, other than that it's just peachy!
