Stop hijacking my thread with irrelevent arguments over situations not applicable to type 2(example shifter and dark confidant in other formats)
Updated deck list!!
-----------------------------------------
"Standards Strongest-- MMPS 12/03/2007 8:21:00 PM
After extensive testing and grueling twice daily tournies this is the deck that has come out on top for the current T2 format...
4 Vesuvan Shapeshifter-- The best creature in T2
4 Fathom Seer
4 Birds of paradise
4 Search for Tomorrow
4 Yavimaya Dryad
4 Aeon Chronicler-- Cantripping monster, or one sided Howling mine, the chroniclers P/T regularly exceeds the 15 mark...
4 Rune Snag
4 Looter Il-kor-- effectively a one sided howling mine, the looter smooths out draws, and simultaneously protects against both mana screw and flood.
3 Primal Command-- Works as a general use tutor, but also acts as a single card strategy killer. Devestates Dragon, and Mannequin decks while pulling out bullets and your card draw combo...
1 Deadwood Treefolk-- Chains with shifters to produce brutal levels of CA.
1 Razormane Masticore-- Aggro killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 Loxodon Warhammer-- turns 14/14 chroniclers, into GG...
4 Yavimaya coast
10 Island
5 Forest
2 Karplusion Forest
1 Mountain
SB
4 Boom/Bust
4 Pyroclasm
4 Psionic Blast OR Pongify
1 Cloudthresher
1 Brine Elemental
1 Fortune thief
Extensive testing has shown this build to be about the best thing the current T2 has to offer, have fun winning your tournaments with this monster..."
------------------------------------
The deck is extremely fast with 12+ accelerators, and the level of card draw and card advantage in the build out does anything else in the current type 2. Chroniclers with the shifter and Seer combo is just insane, with Fathom seers pulling double duty as walking Might of Oaks for your Chronicler team.
The deck has EXTREMELY strong matchups against the field. Dragon Storm, Elves, and the current host of varient control, and agro control decks have little chance against it, especially post SB when things get very very unfair thanks in part to the Red splash...

It's not bad. I don't think Warhammer is the best card here (it's decent on Chronicler, and that's about it).
Wall of Roots over something, Dryad maybe?
Thoughts on Guilde or Vigor? What about a few of the manlands, Factory, Desert, or Mouth of Ronom? If you're not running the snow stuff, Freyalise's Radiance in SB?
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

How the hell do you get Aeon Chronicler as a 15/15? You'd have to draw 8 cards a turn to do that...

Indigo--the mana base is pretty tight, you don't want anything that doesn't make colored mana, and you don't want anything that that comes in tapped...even the lone mountain is a slight albiet powerful stretch.
Warhammer is also completely nuts...
Banshee--the decks name is MMPS... don't know what it stands for. :edit: looked it up the decks name is "Mighty Morphing Power Shifter"
Deathcow.. You need to look at some of the card interactions of the build. This deck has more card draw then any other deck in t2 by a VERY large margin. A single fathom seer by itself can give a chronicler +4/+4... combined with a shifter and you can go from a 7/7 chronicler at end of opponents turn, to a 16/16 chronicler on your own turn.... Multiple seers get even nuttier... The deck is EASILY able to make the guys extremely huge...

I'll take your word on it, but you don't seem -that- colour intensive, especially with Birds and Morph creatures being face-down and all.
Warhammer is also completely nuts...
Against what? You only have Chroniclers and the Treefolk who can use it without dying and wasting mana. I think Garruk would be far better in that slot.

Yavimaya Dryad and Looter do fine with Warhammer.
He needs double islands(out of 10) for Fathom Seer. I would definitely drop that mountain for another Karplusan Forest though.
EDIT:
Unless you mean those creatures getting burned/killed out.

what is this? firstly it would help if you would autocard, secondly you definetely need to explain your strategy more.
