Interesting deck. How's it been working for you? (Nice use of  {Desecration Demon} and  {Varolz, the Scar-Striped}!)

In theory  {Bioshift} pairs extremely well with  {Corpsejack Menace}, whether thiis helps or
Not? Since you aren't main boarding the menace

I'd watch out with {Duskmantle Seer}, you have some high CMC cards in your deck.

Generally, the Seer isn't much of an issue. With Nighthawk and Varolz's sacrifice ability I can handle the life loss. But I have considered only mainboarding two. More testing is required.

Aggro can be an issue if I miss my early drops, but manageable with Nighthawk.  Control is a pain, I've recently side boarded a few Dispel's to counteract any bounce spells (Mostly to counteract Azourious Charm and Sphinx's Rev.). I can plow through Midrange with an aggressive start. Haven't played the mirror match. And lastly, Varolz is amazing.

I do realize Sphinx's Rev isn't a bounce spell. I meant instants in general. The Dispel mostly stops my opponent from erasing the +1/+1 counters on my creatures with regenerate ie. Lolthlet Troll.
