Notes:
I'm going to try this deck out at FNM this week because no one will expect a mono deck. {Deathcult Rogue} will be subbed for {Phantom Warrior} if I can't get any by 6 PM Friday. I did a few sample hands and it could use some draw power. {Curiosity} maybe? Any thoughts?

Why would you want Deathcult Rogue instead of Phantom Warrior?
You obviously didnt comprehend my explanation. I said I'll sub Deathcult in for Phantom if I can't get any Phantoms before FNM starts. Pretty easy to follow, guy.
Draw could be {divination}, {curiosity}, {think twice}, or any number of things. {curiosity} seems to be the best option though, since you have unblockable dudes.
I don't see too much concern with counter spells. A couple of {negate}s, but no {syncopate} or {dissipate}s. any reason?
No {dissipate} simply because I don't own any. I have {rewind} but that's only useable by T4 at the earliest. I may put {syncopate} in the SB to replace rewind with. The more I think about it, the more I like {curiosity}. I may try replacing {mizzium skin} with that.
Im not a fan of {think twice} because its five mana to draw two cards. {Divination} is sorcery speed but there's {inspiration} for {1} more and its instant speed.
WotC needs to stop pussyfooting around reprinting {counterspell} and {brainstorm} in standard.
Am I missing something, or is ghost quarter illegal?

Ill petition for brainstorm back.....
I will sign the crap out of it.
{inaction injunction} is good for card draw, and will slow down your opponent too. Otherwise, curiosity all the way!

Ah forgot about that card. Thanks!
Any reason for no snapcasters?
I own none.
{Nightveil specter}? Oh and even {realmwright} so u can actually play the cards you steal? :)
