this is so amusing... you complain that I have to much removal and you have just as much

your list
4 nameless
3 cribswap
3archon of justice
3 shriekmaw
3 profane command

my list
4 nameless
4 o-ring
4 cribswap
4 strix

the swaps were knight of meadowgrain but i changed them for the post cuz i wasnt sure... and i dont complain, i suggest ...

and archons dont count cuz they can be removed from game and do nothing, shriek, nameless, swap, and profane kill when played (thereby being harder to stop) and i already said i liked the strix (those also dont count)
i just for some reason hate o-ring for this deck...

This deck wants things in the graveyard, O-Ring can be counter-synergistic if it's your main form of removal. Executioner's Capsule may be a better choice, and board the O-Rings for your black match-ups.

i think Bone Splinters is better than capsule, the down side is the additional creature the upside it doesn't care what color, Bone splinters also as the mana advantage of being one mana to use, where as capsule is 3 mana to use

Here's my U/B/W version which has been testing fairly well, any opinions or input would be gladly accepted.

3 Fetid Heath
3 Sunken Ruins
3 Mystic Gate
2 Reflecting Pool
4 Arcane Sanctum
4 Swamp
3 Island
2 Plains

24 Land


4 Deft Duelist
4 Tidehollow Strix
4 Mistmeadow Skulk
4 Cairn Wanderer
3 Skyhunter Prowler

19 Creatures


3 Executioner's Capsule
4 Esper Charm
2 Makeshift Mannequin
3 Oblivion Ring
3 Infest
2 Syphon Life

17 Stuff


So Mr. Cairn could potentially have shroud, deathtouch, lifelink, first strike, vigilance, flying, and protection from CMC3.

4 Birds of Paradise
4 Steward of Valeron
4 Spawnwrithe
3 Skullmulcher
4 Shriekmaw
4 Mistmeadow Skulk
4 Cairn Wanderer

2 Profane Command
4 Crib Swap
3 Nameless Inversion OR Unmake

3 Primal Beyond
4 Reflecting Pool
4 Llanowar Wastes
2 Twilight Mire
3 Brushland
3 Wooded Bastion
2 Fetid Heath
2 Vivid Grove
1 Vivid Marsh

Just realized that this build is heavy on the elementals. Primal Beyond works nicely here. I think the mana base definitely needs a lot of work - since my idea here is to accel into Skullmulcher using BoP and the Steward. Anyone have a better way to build the mana base for this deck? I think it needs more turn 1 sources of G.

Ideal would be:

T1 - Land - BoP
T2 - Land - Steward
T3 - Land - Skulk + Spawnwrithe
T4 - Land - Skullmulcher - Devour Skulk / Spawnwrithe / BoP / Steward - Draw 4 Cards
T5 - Land - Cairn Wanderer with Pro 3 / Lifelink / Trample / Flying / Vigilence and a hand full of fresh cards. It would be nice to get haste on him too here instead of waiting a full turn to attack. Plus you've got an 8/8 Skullmulcher on the board.

Ideas?
