MTG Salvation

Its that time again. I posted my Mimeoplasm deck back when everyone else was going nuts with lists here and I'm doing it again with Nekusar. I need quick access to my decklists through the links in my sig. I'm sorry!!

I'm not doing anything new with this list, the deck practically builds itself.

Definitely don't want to run Howling Mine effects to slowly ping opponents to death while giving them answers to beat me. This is about getting a Underworld Dreams like creature or enchantment out and dealing massive damage over a few turns.

If people do comment; I'm not actively looking for infinite combo wins so please don't suggest cards for that role.

I've played a few games on Cockatrice with this and its a work in progress. I found I win if others get in a spat and I can finish everyone off all at once. BUT if someone starts targeting me, I can't finish the job.

Anyway, really happy wotc printed this guy. I had a deck just like this with Tetsuo Umezawa at the helm and it was just crap.

I've been toying with building this general for a couple of weeks. Some choices I had considered that you might review:

Venser's Journal. Multifunction here and it shuts off damage from (deep. RTFC). I might replace Arena of the Ancients with that.

Vision Skeins is awesome and cheap and you have little besides ramp at 2. Speaking of Mox Diamond seems bad with only 36 land. I might suggest Thran Dynamo in it's place.

Decree of Pain seems like an auto-include here. dark ritual, though awesome, is the worst possible late game draw imaginable here. starstorm seems weak too. Might I suggest Wash out or Cyclonic Rift? Both fill the hand back up, and open the window for hand based damage.

Cool otherwise though. Might be a little ramp heavy.

Price of Knowledge only hits opponents, anyway. Though I do support Venser's Journal.

Also, say I'm crazy, but Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded is fun when you can fire off his -4, people tend to let him live long enough to regret letting him live and isn't hilarity the point?

Also, a very underestimated card (especially when Spiteful Visions and Phyrexian Tyranny are hard at work) is Obstinate Familiar. Which also helps activate Kederekt Parasite.

Also, I know the joke is to hurt people for drawing, but Notion Thief often draws so much hate, he is usually just a quick way to be like "Ok, so I'll draw all your draws. Ok, you drew an answer to waste on him, with my drawing pain cards still in play. I have a ton more in hand, and you're going back to getting hurt."
