Instead of  {Confiscate} I would use  {Treachery} it cost and you get a bonus

True, but Confiscate can take nonceatures, which makes it slightly more useful if you run into a controlling opponent not playing dudes.

I'd see if you could find room for a {Bribery}. Why wait until it hits the field when you can just search their deck for it?

I would agree on the  {Bribery} And I would also consider  {Meloku the Clouded Mirror} To synergies with  {Roil Elemental}

+1 for you. I can't believe I haven't seen that yet and I have them both in my illusions deck.

i wish I had a {Bribery} to put in.

I prefer {Confiscate} as I have stolen Planeswalkers just before they pull off their ultimate and use it against the opponent.

Thanks for the input, any suggestions on trimming the amount of cards down to get closer to 60 cards total

Is {Synod Sanctum} doing enough for you? I see synergy with {Vedalken Shackles}, but you aren't really abusing it otherwise with ETB effects.

32 lands??? I think that you have more lands. If you see your mana curve, you will have aproximation of number of lands.
