MTG Salvation

Well I didn't exactly say it was bad, but it definitely seems sub-optimal

Seems bad.

Try Crusader.

Also, in addition, I've never really been happy with Sword of Body and Mind; so I'm planning on running 2 Feast and Famine and not running the other at all.

I'm also playing Mirran Crusader over Finks after loving it in Bant from this past weekends PTQ.

It does serve a few purposes but I just can't see myself ever playing it anyways. If you don't have any action they can just bounce it and kill you anyways

Edit: Interestingly enough, the UW list which won the last MODO PTQ (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/1976688) beating RDW in the finals ran 3 copies of JTMS. As bad as he is in that matchup I can't see having less than 2. No Leylines

I'm pretty sure Leyline is disadvantageous (bad) most of the time. There are better ways of handling Fae. If you have to mull into Leyline you're already losing.

Yep. I've tried it, it isn't pretty unless you want to run a lot of tap lands. At that point, you might as well play 4CC.

Yeah basically, otherwise you're pressed to have UUU, RR, and WW while still packing Tec Edges and Colonnade.

Edit: I've been pondering MD Spell Pierce instead of a red splash. Pierce is just about all I can think of that would help without adding colors.

Red is nice, but seemingly difficult to do a RR splash.

Instill Energy.

Must be blind or something...

Necromancy

Yup, Lachman won with Elves, 2-0. He turn 2'd his Zoo opponent in game 2, ftw.

Equilibrium!

Mindmoil can be funny along with other wheel effects like Winds of Change, Incendiary Command, Wheel of Fortune, Memory Jar and Windfall. Niv was my first serious deck, but, I dismantled it quickly as it drew (no pun intended) too much hate.

My list was also pretty similar to yours.
