i went 2 and 1 in fnm last night playing a toolbox control doran deck, i made a few changes afterwards and this is what it looks like

24 land

4 Doran the siege Tower
4 Birds of Paradise
3 Civic Wayfinder
3 Ohran Viper
1 Chameleon Colossus
1 Shriekmaw


3 Liliana Vess
2 Damnation
2 Garruk Wildspeaker
2 Oblivion Ring
2 Eyeblights Ending
2 Nameless Inversion
2 Profane Command
1 Primal Command
3 Thought seize
1 Loxodon Warhammer

I edited my post above(#549) I removed Nath of the Gilt Leaf and Primal Command for 4x Augur of Skulls. I forgot how much I liked these guys. I remember why I took out the Nath in the first place. I do wish I could have kept Primal Command but I had to cut something. I also would like to fit an extra land in here but may have to run a 61 card deck to do so.

It would be difficult to argue for a single best build card for card, but looking at decks posted for the past few pages should give you some things to work off of.

Even so I'll post a few thoughts.

Land: x21 (Not enough land by the normal standards)
Mouth of Ronom x2
Urborg, Tomb of yawgmoth x1 (Need 3 if running tendrils)
Snow-covered swamp x7
Treetop Village x2 (You want at least 3 of these)
Snow-Covered Forest x6
Llanowar Wastes x3 (Of course 4 is best, but they do hurt so 3 is okay)

I do see you are fetching Urborg or a treetop though.

The b/g Elf lands are usually used as well.

Creatures: x16

Chameleon Colossus x1 (You'll want at least 2, if not 3, but expensive)
Wall of Roots x4 (Good anti Doran tech, aggro defense & with cipt lands)
Masked Admirers x3 (He's okay, could be two of, best with elves)
Troll Ascetic x4 (Good, great with hammer of course)
Shriekmaw x4 (Many run at least 2, 4 may be overkill depending on meta)

Sorcerys: x11

Call of the herd x3 (If you don't have Garruk, doesn't seem bad, but you do)
Sylvan Scrying x3 (? I'd go birds or Llanowar elves for mana accel)
Damnation x3 (Never a bad card in an aggro environ)
Profane Command x2 (Very good, some even run more)

Instant x6

Tendrils of corruption x3 (Not good unless you run 3 Urborgs)
Sudden Death x3 (double black mana will be hard to hit some times and tehfaerie never see's play anymore)
Run Namelss Inversion for certain and perhaps a terror/eyeblights ending or two.

Planeswalker: x3

Garruk Wildspeaker x2 (Of course he's great)
Liliana Vess x1 (Not bad either, mostly side board these days though)

Artifacts x3

Loxodon Warhammer x3 (needed without heavy hitters, two may be enough)

SIDEBOARD X15

Tendrils of corruptionsx 1 (doesn't work with mana base above)
Call of the herd x1 (redundant)
Deathmark x3 (very good)
Krosan Grip x3 (a good choice)
Tombstalker x2 (you might consider one, or two main deck as a finisher)
Quagnoth x2 (a decent side board choice)
Extripate x3 (not bad either)

I've considered that card as well. Overall it's better in Doran so they can fetch a Bosk, but would be okay for the rock. I think you'd need to run at least 3 copies though to have a decent chance of getting one soon enough to slow Lark down. Even then this would be a sad top deck after turn 5-7 in many cases. Granted; you could kill a man land and put a land in the grave for goyf if nothing else. I like the idea of the card, but ideally you'd want to cast it turn 3-4 and after that it may be sorta meh.

For Lark I'm thinking 2 Extirpates and 2 Crypts in the board.

Any suggestions/ideas/etc?

Cut out the two primal commands and add one more Garruk and one more Profane. With 4 birds and two wall of roots you have plenty enough mana excel, even with 4 mana you can kill something or do damage, and get a goyf back, or for 5 mana get a doran back in play. Go with 4 goyfs also, in my humble opinion.
