I love this concept, have you ever thought of running {Gem of Becoming}? I'm thinking about it but haven't tested quite yet.

Strong deck, any loses i would assume come from play mistakes and abnormal circumstances like mana screw.

Seems like an ok card. The main issue I have with it is that the lands go to your hand. I wish that at least one of those lands went to the battlefield tapped. It thins your deck out and helps you grab more swamps for {Mutilate} , which is nice.  I think its a little to slow and I'd rather play keyrune.

How does {Mutilate} interact with your creature base?

Works great. I don't typically use  {Olivia Voldaren} until t5 or 6 any how.
