This. Basically you're going to need say, {Ruinous Path} to remove a Planeswalker. But you only have one so you're not going to draw it. Then you lose and sadness.

And it's not just that sort of thing. Let's say, hypothetically, that {Deathcap Cultivator} is your best start because it ramps you. Then you're going to be kinda sad when you start with an {Elvish Visionary}. Figure out what your best cards are, cut the sub optimal stuff for more copies.

Say:
-1 {crawling sensation}
-1 {fork in the road}
-2 {overwhelming denial}
-2 {elvish visionary}
-2 {sylvan advocate}
-1 {dragonlord silumgar}
+1 {duress}
+1 {ruinous path}
+1 {ultimate price}
+1 {negate}
+3 {deathcap cultivator}
+1 {thing in the ice}
+1 {mindwrack demon}

That sound better? And I really need help with the mana. I feel like I'm nowhere near consistent.

I'd keep a one of {Dragonlord Silumgar} because he's a good win condition. Probably cut {Mindwrack Demon} unless it's performing exceptionally well. Otherwise sounds good to me.

As for mana, I'm not up to date with standards tri colour setup ATM, and I'm not good at manalyzing anyways. Hopefully somebody else can help.
