I don't think I made that clear - I didn't take out kill cards solely because of hexproof; I <3 kill cards. After playing with (very revised) versions of this deck, I just realized that a Blade Splicer has more potential than simply one Go For The Throat or Tribute To Hunger.
As a matter of fact, I've decided to start side-decking Terminus (Partly for Miracle, partly because most decks will have a hard time using cards on the bottom of their deck, while I can Tutor / Rune-Scarred my best cards) And I think I'll start rocking some Black Sun Zenith if I can get my hands on them.

I will not drop a Quicksilver simply because that is what wins me games. I have a Quicksilver in my hand, a tank comes out turn five (And tanks costs me only 4 to play every turn, leaving me with mana for other options, and Quicksilver can activate as an instant to surprise them with a Legendary when they least expect it).
I've been looking extraordinarily hard for other lower-cost, powerful creatures. If you're less tired, any suggestions? (;

Much appreciated, thank you! Others have been telling me this, you're another solid reason to consider haha.

I have been debating Grimoires a lot, but haven't been able to reach the best way to implement them. Nice suggestion though, I'll keep it in mind.
I like War Priest of Thune for sidedeck and Gatekeeper of Malakir, but neither are standard \: and I'm trying to keep this deck tournament-playable.
Heartless I actually just put in sidedeck, for more early-game control.

I for the most part agree.
Little creatures exactly like Doomed Traveler are what made me make this deck white. The original BL/W deck was here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=287184 (with of course alterations)
I could not make this work, and tried it in tournaments. My problem was inconsistency - if I didn't have my little guys beginning game, then late game they'd do nothing - basically be dead draws. I'd need a lot of little guys to make it worth it.
Do you know how I'd be able to make it work? I found that kill/control cards were a little more useful.

As for "heartbreaking" to have my big guys get destroyed, that's not a problem. I have so many of them - 1 in 5 cards in this deck is a big guy. If they die, I can usually replace. Unburial Rites takes care of that, and 4x Rune-Scarred Demons means once I play one, they keep coming.

I've debated draw. At the moment, my physical deck actually has 2 Bloodgift Demons in there just for that. I still have it in mind (: I like Sign in Blood, but it's not standard.

Norn is amazing counter-aggro, but some games I cannot get her out there by the time I'm over-run.

Stromkirk is a good idea for this deck because of the one-drop aggro, but you have the ruling incorrect.
Stromkirk Noble can't be blocked by humans - so humans aren't the problem, it's... everything else.

I do like Elesh Norn, but she's not the type of carry I'm looking for in this deck.

I also like Forbidden Alchemist, but I don't like the inconsistency of possibly accidentally haivng to discard a Diabolic Tutor/Sheoldred/Quicksilver. I may take your advice and throw the Think Twices in, in place of the Tribute to Hunger.
I do, however, not plan on putting in more creatures - simply because when I play with this deck now (I've almost obtained all the needed cards) it does a very nice job of countering any creatures they feel like playing.
To fix the damage problem, I play on acquiring four Phyrexian Obliterators (; But for now I'm going to try without the extra creatures.

When people at FNM have to deal with four Sheoldreds (assuming they beat 3 already), they commonly get a good Sheoldred boner.

I like this deck, only the Jin-Gitaxias doesn't seem to belong. I see its uses, but I feel like would be too much work to be useful.
If you're going to rock Praetor's Grasp, and you have enough mana, you might as well use four, and remove the smaller (although yes, effective) Negates and Psychic Barriers for either Cancels or Dissipates. Will give you easier options.

Please check out my deck (Didn't realize I named it the same as yours :P)

I don't like the idea of only 2 mind controls, but I cannot think of a better way to put in the mana leaks.. As far as the sideboard goes I don't like the Flashfreezes, but may include more like Ponder.

Thanks for the input, planestalker.
I've never seen Phyrexian Metamorph before so thanks for that - while it's the better card for this deck, I'm gonna stick to Clone just to keep this a budget deck.
I've thought about mana leak a lot, but I don't know if I want to remove Fabricates - this deck cannot work if I don't have two Myr Galvanizers, and when drawing sample hands it seemed I needed all the help I could get finding them. Your thoughts?
I do like Myr Reservoir, but I think probably shot it down to fast - I'll try and fit some in here. (:

Haha same! Mostly cause it's so darn inexpensive. (:
Any suggestions towards it?

Have you thought about adding in cards to search for artifacts? That would allow you to obtain your infinite mana combo faster.
Check out my similar deck, attempting to obtain infinite mana as fast as possible.
