Anurid Scavenger
* - Timetwister is legal. Decks that can play a first turn Timetwister + Uba Mask are not. Decks that can play a first turn Timetwister without using it to 'effectively make their opponent discard their hand' are legal.
Balance is legal. Decks that can play Balance before turn 5 are not (unless they can't empty their hand fast enough).
Hymn to Tourach is legal. Decks that can play it first turn are not.
Thoughtseize is legal. Decks that can play two Thoughtseizes on turn one are not.
Due to timezones, the new deadline is approximately lunchtime SATURDAY in the States. This is because I actually need to get some work done on Mondays.

I foil chalice he discards his hand. I play Scavenger. Scavenger is pro black and out races the spirit. He has no way to kill his own spirit

Since Scavenger has nothing to recur (Leyline of the Void), you'll have to sacrifice him on your upkeep.
Yodavader - the flaw with your deck is it is redundant in a bad way.
Aura of Silence + Threat isn't terrible, but having the third 'live' card in your deck be Sphere of Resistance was a bit weak.
Also, your deck has a LOT of trouble winning on the draw. This week, the special rule made that even worse as an option.
Aura of Silence, Black Lotus, City of Brass, Durkwood Baloth, [some other spell] might have done better... (Nix, or Mana Tithe... and of course, you don't need City of Brass there, just a dual land).
