nice idea but there's no way of accelerating a crapload of your stuff out of the deck into play. you've essentially got a really slow deck that has the option of bringing a load of stuff into play if you happen to get milled or forced to discard.

i suggest sticking a mill card in there and milling yourself:

traumatize would work.
mind funeral would also work, but is a little unpredictable.
glimpse the unthinkable is cheap and predictable, and mills you for just enough that it makes it worthwhile.
tome scour is cheap and you don't have to splash for black.
better yet, why not combine a milling effect with draw! mental note works really well.


the only problem with mill is the possibility of milling "open the vaults"... so you need a search card. there are plenty of "search your library for instant or sorcery cards"

incidentally if you just used something like glimpse or traumatize, you could cut out a fairly large portion of useless cards in your deck (i.e. ones who's only purpose was to put stuff in the graveyard) leaving space for massive creatures such as Inkwell Leviathan, which would KICK ASS in this deck.
