21 Land
4x Inmoth Nexus
4x Tectonic Edge
13 Plains
Tempered Steel
Self Explanatory, boosts everything but the Hippo's
Contagion Clasp
Removal + Proliferate, sacs to Throne late game if need be.
Throne of Geth
Finisher, has plenty of ammo
Necropede, Ichorclaw, Core Prowler, Corpse Cur
Artifact Infects, each has their own plus aside, almost all add CA, claw being the only one that doesn't.
Razor Hippogriff
This one I'm alittle iffy on, but got no Idea on replacement, is in there as a means to bring back artifacts, and gain some life. Seems ok atm.
Infilltration Lens
When they block (Which they will when able) I draw, late game it sacks to Throne.
Dispense Justice
Instant Speed, sac two seems good. Good versus everything save Elves and Maybe Mono Red, in which Choking Fumes comes in.
Ajani Goldmane
Life gain + extra damage and vigilance seems good.
Journey definitely has a place mainboard, you simply need to have some removal (or Guard Duty, if you prefer). Revoke Existence and Leonin Arbiter definitely should be in sideboard.

El Presidente is like, I'm at 2 life. I take that goddamn shockland like a man!
EDIT: also Contested warzone probably main, and Tectonic Edge probably side. Err... Find a way to maybe get more plains in for those WW spells
The two, one of which you want out? Really? Edge is Maindeck, U/W, U/B, Val/Titan, etc, yup thats more then enough for it to be maindeck.
Prowler is Better then Plague, replaces it self when dies, doubles on geth sac.
Condemn will be used before Oust.
EDIT: Forgot Ajani, still that's 6 WW, 9 with Hippo's, 21 white sources total.
Problem is cutting down, suppose If I added land, Hippo's would be the first to go. That would give me 24, but does the deck need 24? Curve basically ends at 4, with most of it being 2-3 cost.
Only thing I agree with is Warzone, but that will take testing.

Condemn is bad for your deck. You are the aggro. Oust is good, stops blockers. Prowler is too slow even if you run Plague and Prowler it is too slow. I agree with the above poster on signal pest though.
Maybe 4 Oust (or Journey to Nowhere but as the aggro I think Oust is better) and 4 Pests?
Also while Tectonic Edge is good usually, you don't want to be waiting around to destroy lands, you want to be done by turn 4 or 5. I think 4 Inkmoth Well and 4 Contested Warzones are the winners here.
EDIT: Also why are you running Dispense Justice? Those slots should be either blocker removal, two more plains , Mox Opals (probably), or more beaters. Dispense Justice doesn't even stop Grave Titan or Wurmcoil Engine.
BTW- Plague Mry isn't in the deck for mana so much as it costs two. The tapping for mana might matter for multiple Inkmoths on board or Clasp, but that is about it.
Suppose Prowler will be tested and added to the list of things to look for replacements.
Don't see how Sorcery Speed removal is worse then Instant speed. If I really end up worried about blockers I can splash a color for the removal, instead of playing sub par removal.
I can see the points on Plague Myr and will be testing it.
There is no way in hell I'm splashing for Vector Asp, if I'm going to splash for a color, it won't be for a crap 1 drop.
I do kind of like the Pest though, nice buff, and if left unchecked could win all on its own. Guess that will likely replace the Hippo's.
So guess to end will have to test possible splashes, and maybe look at Contagion Engine for Mass removal/finisher.

Sideboard
This is were I am stuck, all I got so far is
4x Phyrexian Revoker (Anti Walker, etc)
4x Choking Fumes (Elves, Boros, Mono Red)
What else should I have here for the last seven slots? Purge? Condemn?
Also what do you all think of the maindeck, and why?

Another card to consider is signal pest, not a lot of one drops, and battle cry seems like it could be good.
plague myr seems good with all the 4 drops.
Edit: Some other cards that might be good, gideon jura, armored ascension, phyrexian digester, piston sledge, repel the darkness, mighty leap, mortapod, emerge unscathed, hyena umbra, infantry veteran, sejiri steppe. Some of these cards are obviously better than others, but they all are options.

4x Throne of Geth
4x Vector Asp
4x Necropede
4x Ichorclaw Myr
4x Plague myr
4x Oust
2x Infilltration Lens

3x Journey to Nowhere/Signal Pest
4x Inmoth Nexus
3x Contested Warzone
8x Plains
2x Swamp
4x Marsh Flats

Cool that other people are considering this archtype, but it'll be better to keep all the discussion in the one place.
Works for me...
