: Originally I wanted this deck to be a discard deck, but it ended up in a creature based deck with disruption (discard, counterspells, Disks).
: Cards that might go in - Cursed Scroll, Sol'kanar the Swamp King, Seismic Assault. I'd put them in, but I don't know what to take out. The mana ratio is a bit high, but I almost never get manascrewed. Extra lands feed Jayemdae, Infernal Tribute or Zuran Orb.
: Thanks for any suggestions.
I guess you don't have a Time Walk...
I think Sol'kanar is a must play. Personally, I'd probably drop 1 Infernal Tribute to make room.
You're incredibly vulnerable to Blood Moon. Nev's Disk appears to be your only defense.
I think the Tome is inferior to Whispers.
25 Mana producers. I'd consider dropping a couple for Dark Rituals.
