Not sure about Spell suite. Just something to start on using ideas mainly from U/W Flash. Suggestions welcome!

Thanks. I have changed it around a bit since this first post. I dropped the Lotleth Troll for Vampire Nighthawk. And changed the spell package to just abuse Abrupt Decay rather then splitting all the removal into different spells. Also, made room for Rancor. Problem with Cloudfin Raptor(1 drop evolve I think your referring to) is that it's very hard to hit Cloudfin into Strangleroot geist. Not impossible, just very difficult as you must have Breeding Pool in your opening hand. Not exactly sure about the spell assortment. Any suggestions?
Not sure about Spellskite, but I don't know what creature I need. He does add some protection to the birds and other creatures killed by removal....Thoughts?
Oops didn't add the link. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=277401 Probably a way to link cards and this link. But I have no idea and am to lazy at this moment to research the possibility of doing so.
I have been building a deck under a similar theme. Actually, was trying to build around Maniac, but I have removed him from the deck and am going with just a dredge style deck. Mindshrieker is fairly week. Only milling 1 for 2 mana(spent on your turn). Not worth it IMO. Deranged assistant is good, but I found myself siding him for other things during FNM last week. Delver doesn't do much for self mill. Your not running a ton of spells and he just doesn't seem to fit right in a deck of this style. I found that I needed to interact more with the opponents board. So, I have added some Mana Leak main deck. Also, Naturalize out of the sideboard was great. Spider Spawning and Gnaw to the Bone were fantastic and I would think about adding at least a 1 of in a deck of this style. I am trying out Kessig Cagebreakers this week(they weren't in the deck last week), but I think they will work great. Swapped Deranged assistant for Birds of Paradise and swapped a memory Journey for Unburial rites(now that I can get white from the birds). I also added the land,Nephalia Drownyard, to mill myself as sometimes all I wanted was more creatures in the graveyard and Forbidden Alchemy costs a ton to flashback. Anyway, just my thoughts. Check out my deck and let me know what you think. Self Mill(Dredge) are really fun to play IMO. Cheers!
