Simple Discard / Mana Denial Deck

[schreier]

I am not sure if this qualifies as suicide black - but how does it look?  It is basically a type 1.5 deck ... I guess I would add a mox jet and strip mine to make it type 1, taking out a swamp and either a befoul or a disrupting scepter ...

Is it too single minded (well - I guess dual minded - land and hand destruction)?

Anything that should not be there or that are there in too great of numbers ... this is not intended to be an overly competitive deck, just fun (for me at least)


Lands:      
Wasteland   4
Swamp 16
      
Creatures:      
Hypnotic Specter 4
Hollow Specter 4
Silent Specter 3
Demoic Hordes 3
      
Sorceries:      
Mind Twist   1
Hymn of Tourach 4
Duress 4
Sinkhole 4
Befoul 3
      
Instants:      
Dark Ritual 4

Enchantments:      
Animate Dead 2

Artifacts:      
Disrupting Scepter 4

I was just thinking - the mirari (Legendary artifact, costs 5, anytime you cast an instant or sorcery, you may spend 3 to add another copy of that spell to the stack, and you may choose a new target)

This seems great for this deck ... you can fork the sinkholes, the mindtwist, hymns, durress, sinkhole or befoul (particularly befoul as you could take out two creatures or lands or one of each)

The cost is relatively high but I think bearable

Maybe this as the new list:
Lands:
Strip mine 1
Wasteland 4
Swamp 16

Creatures:
Hypnotic Specter 4
Hollow Specter 4
Silent Specter 2
Demoic Hordes 4

Sorceries:
Mind Twist 1
Hymn of Tourach 4
Duress 4
Sinkhole 4
Befoul 2

Instants:
Dark Ritual 4

Enchantments:
Necromancy 3

Artifacts:
Mirari 1
Mox Jet 1
Black Lotus 1


Is there enough of a win condition here?  I figure the discard combined with land destruction should keep an opponent bottled up relatively well

But that is a big if ... and against real power, it is probably in trouble ....

Oh well

Thanks
