Another week, another deck. This time around, it's toshiro umezawa, with a deck that's build around one of my favorite mechanics (and one of wotc's least favorite mechanics) - dredge.
The goal here is to dredge as much as possible. Fill up that graveyard. With that accomplished, here's what you can do:
-cast tons of instants from your grave
-continually resurrect your self-recurring weenies
-benefit from your weenies constantly dying
-splice into arcane for even more CA
-actually use champion of stray souls!
There's a lot of moving parts, so we'll see how things go. I'm not sure if it's worth the effort to include myr retriever to recur clamp and crucible, awesome as they are, and same goes for XHD although I've always loved the synergy with corpse dance.
Your land count seems a little concerning. Thirty Seven is generally a low land count but you have 37 with your ramp included. It might be something you consider expanding.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.

Mesmeric Orb looks like it fits this build well.
