Here is my version of the deck as requested (at least as of today, it is still a WIP).

The reason I finally left the {Skinrenderer}s out was that I found they were too slow without {Heartless Summoning}, which is also the about the only time the deck has problems, especially against super fast aggro decks. I ended up replacing them with {Doomblade}s and {Spellskite}s since they can come out fast enough to trip those decks up until I can get my mana base up and running for the fatties when I don't draw {Heartless Summoning}. Plus the {Spellskite}s are a perfect answer for {Kessig Wolf Run} and {Angelic Destiny}.

The {Parasalene} in the side is for white weenie decks tha run {Oblivion Ring}, {Honor of the Pure}, and/or {Angelic Destiny}, with the side benefit of clearing {Heartless Summining} later in the game. {Revoke Existence} is for {Tempered Steel}, but can also clear {Heartless Summoning} if I need to get rid of the -1/-1 for the win. {Perilous Myr} comes in against {Mirran Crusader} in place of {Doomblade} to get around PFB, and {Go for the Throat} comes in against other black decks in place of {Doomblade}.

I wish I had one more hand so I could give this deck three thumbs up.

Thanks for the compliment. I haven't had a chance to play it competitively yet, but so far it play tests pretty well against every competitive deck list I have tried it against.
