Gonna ride on your fame and hope you scratch my back too. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=314446 So far it's doing well controlling mobs on an average draw. Hope for suggestions to make it even more annoying especially on FNM nights.

Personally I would reduce the count of Mirror-Mad to 2, just so I don't hit it at a higher rate on the path to self-destruction. Of course, that's assuming Kindred hasn't already taken it out, or most of them are already residing in a not-library location. Plus it helps to throw out your Laboratory Maniac for easier Memory's Journey-ing later on. And lesser Mirror-Mads means a higher chance of throwing your entire library out with Back from the Brink, heh. I like the direction this deck is taking, plus the sustainability (in terms of future expansion release).
Hmm...that's a good idea. I'll put it in the main deck instead, replacing both Curses and bring it for a few runs to see how it turns out. Never came across that card before, thanks for the suggestion, heh.
1 & 2. I wasn't considering this deck to be counter-based but rather going pure mill. Playtesting with 3 Dissipates rather than Manaleak against fast decks make me unable to get rid of a say, T2 Honor of the Pure. Manaleaks were put in as a soft countermeasure for things like T3 Quicksilver->T4 Emrakul. I'm thinking of swapping 2 Curses for Manaleaks or Dissipates seeing how the 2 Curses don't really appear in most of my games effectively. Or might there be suggestions that I've missed out? 3. I used to put 3 x Go For The Throat and 3 x Doomblades, but replaced them with table wipers like Black Sun and Finale instead. So far most of my games with fast decks were decided with whether I had a Black Sun in hand to wipe creatures fast enough. Can't say it fares decently enough with burn decks though. I'm considering throwing in a few Ratchet Bombs, but I'm apprehensive about it, considering how it costs about $8-10 each here and Mirrodin getting rotated out in a few months' time. Are there any methods that I might be missing out in terms of dealing with fast decks?
I just trolled a few random players at my area with this. Added in some Llanowar elves to pump up the speed and for early game sacrificial blockers, and threw in 2 Dungrove Elders just in case things got stale. Hehe. Definitely a fun troll deck to mess them serious players with. Hehe.
If you're thinking of adding in red, I'd suggest Scrapyard Salvo to toss the ditched artifacts at your opponent. Plus, no other Myrs since there's Myr Matrix and Wurmcoil Engine? Heh.
