Ahhhh the {Nimble Mongoose}.  Such a majestic creature. You should add his woodland friend  {Werebear}. He's the only magic card that can use a gun.

I did originally have mulch over tracker's insight but I went with the insight since it has flashback and will help me dig for creatures.  19 land is more than enough with this mana curve, the average mana cost is just under 2 and the fact that i have so much digging spells like {careful study} and {brainstorm} will help me get that second land ...... I would not mulligan a one land hand with this deck and for that reason 19 is plenty.  Really this deck just needs 2 lands to run, 3 and it will sing.

I will see how the {boneyard wurms} work out, if they dont then I will swap the werebear.  I do worry about getting threshold soon enough for it to be effective .... we will see.  thanks for the recommendation

Here is a quick explanation of this deck.  Opening hand:
{watery grave}
{unearth}
{gravecrawler}
{skaab ruinator}
{tracker's insight}
{careful study}
{splinterfright}

Turn 1:  play {watery grave}, take 2 damage, cast {careful study} draw 2, discard: {gravecrawler} and {skaab ruinator}
Turn 2: most likely will be able to play a land that gives me another black mana, cast {unearth} put {skaab ruinator} in play, cast {gravecrawler} from GY
Turn 3: opponent is already in trouble
