Add in a  {Desolate Lighthouse}

Calebestes

Okay.  So you think this could be alright?  I really don't have the patience for cockatrice.

Need info from you if you want info from us.

What do you want this deck to do, who are you trying to beat, wht do you think is good/ bad about it, etc.

Calebestes

Well the decks I play against are all random, but the big power houses that I worry about are red deck wins, g/w aggro.     My Bant Control deck just dominates my meta, I've won like the past 8 with it, and want to play something new. 

Calebestes

So any help with this?  Especially after gatecrash?

Kaleo42

I would say {dissipate} over sync. This deck needs to go late game to win and sync is not a good snap target in the late game unless you have mana accelerated a ton. Also you need a couple ability lands to sink your mana into. Either {Nephelia Drownyard} and {stensia bloodhall} would both work great.

As for gatecrash you'll want more mass removal, especially {mutilate} once you have the swamps to back it up.

Definitely sideboard {curse of death's} hold.
