Notes:
Leave all comments!! I think this deck is seriously fun. I've never liked playing control with blue because i couldn't "kill" anything as well as i can here. It feels more like me to burn everything to the ground and win with either {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} or burn. Also love {Dragonlord Kolaghan} because he stops aggressive decks and is a huge beater.

4 Elspeths is way too much lol 2-3 tops :P

Also with 7 mountains (4 Bloodstained Mires and 3 basic mountains) Chained to the Rocks isn't good you might not draw into a mountain.

{Crackling Doom}?

Lastly too many random sweepers.
1 Drown
1 End
2 Anger
1 Crux
Makes the deck less consistent so think about a sweeper you want MB and have SB access to one other

Thanks for the help man... Decided to go with 2 mained {end hostilities} and two {perilous vault} Also {crackling doom} in sb because it seemed too clunky on mana and a waste if they are just running little guys or no creatures to have in mb

I'd cut stuff for Doom MB it seems like the biggest reason to play Mardu

I run it in my mardu mindrange, everyone has at least a few creeps, and heroic decks crumble to it, pro/destrect spells can't stop it.
