I would swap two fiend hunters in main instead of nevermore, because nevermore does not achieve value in mainboard, and are likely to be sided in or out anyways. As for Gitaxian probes, I see no real function in which to expand upon, so I would cut those in favor of the lawkeepers.
Actually, I use the probes in conjunction with nevermore in my mainboard. I play the probe to scout their hand, and then play a nevermore based on what I see. It has saved me a few times in tough match ups.

That is one combo that works together, aside from the rest of the deck. I believe the lawkeepers and the fiend hunters get much more value since they are walking removals that disables creatures so yours can go through.
Well, I took 2nd at FNM with the combo and 3rd without it (when I used fiend hunters and Gideon's instead). So I know that both can work well, and I think I will switch that combo up just based on my mood before tournaments.

Maybe you should put that combo in the sideboard as a kind of transformative sideboard.

Fair enough. So now nearly my entire mainboard is creatures and my sideboard is non creature spells, lol
