I didn't see anyone else that posted here picking Sutured Ghoul  . Is there any reason this isn't a good pick? It seemed like a good pick and at P1P5 I didn't think we were particularly committed to a particular color, although the Day of Judgment  and Sphinx of Uthuun  are both good and in different colors.
I picked it. I felt pretty good about a U/B Control deck at that point, and he is a pretty strong finisher if you offer up enough trades at the beggining. However, it does require you to conciously try to trade. Another downside is the triple black which, although he does cost 7, is still a tall order. I basically had him as an alternate kill condition if my sphinx ever bit it.

Let's do this! Pick 1: Sphinx of Uthuun seems like the best choice, even over the preferred White in this pack for me personally. Pick 2: Someone passed a Day of Judgment . In Limited. On first pick. Yoink. Pick 3: Nothing to change colors for, and Merfolk Looter  is the best WU card I see. Pick 4: Skywinder Drake  seems like my only option. Pick 5: Mana Leak  needs no explanation. Pick 6: I ponder Divination before going with Ponder  . Pick 7: Mind Unbound  is just cool. Pick 8: Jace's Erasure  over White stuff because it pairs so well with Mind Unbound. Drawmill deck in the works? Pick 9: Negate  spins to me. Pick 10: Demystify  for the side, I passed up a Trollhide earlier. Pick 11: Flight  is blue. Pick 12: Fog  is only decent card. Pick 13: Firebreathing  because meh. Pick 14: Runeclaw Bear  Pick 15: One less Forest needed. Pick 16: Merfolk Mesmerist  kinda goes with my past picks. Pick 17: Little defense, so Gideon's Lawkeeper  Pick 18: Tough call, but choose the second [Gideon's Lawkeeper[/card] Pick 19: Phantasmal Image  works. Pick 20: Stonehorn Dignitary  adds to defense.[/card] Pick 21: Divination  due to draw. Pick 22: Time Reversal  ; the mill is small, and Jace's Erasure will start filling the opponent's grave again right away. Oh, and money card. Pick 23: Aven Fleetwing  is cool. Pick 24: Most of my creatures already have flying, so Pride Guardian  . Pick 25: Grand Abolisher  sides against blue and red, among others. Pick 26: Merfolk Mesmerist for synergy. Pick 27: Kraken's Eye  Pick 28: Flight Pick 29: Lifelink  Pick 30: Forest again Pick 31: Jace's Erasure for synergy. Pick 32: Cancel  Pick 33: Divine Favor  Pick 34: Cancel is the least likely card I want to cycle back around. Pick 35: Mana Leak gets same logic. Pick 36: Aven Fleetwing over Peregrine, even though Peregrine is pretty cool. Pick 37: Phantasmal Dragon  for awesome. Pick 38: Griffin Sentinel  just seems better. Pick 39: Lifelink over anti-flying I don't need. Pick 40: Turn to Frog  Pick 41: Reclaim  Pick 42: Merfolk Mesmerist Pick 43: Llanowar Elves  Pick 44: [card]Bountiful Harvest[/card Pick 45: I needed more Mountains anyway.

Cloudskywalker, the first thing I would do is drop taste of blood and demon horn for 2 more swamps. You could side in the horn in against someone playing black, but most of the time it's not as good as something else you could draw.
As far as replacing them with swamps, it's generally accepted that in limited you want 17 lands, although your monocolor deck can probably run one less, I wouldn't run 3.
