LOL please, I got this idea in my dream a couple days before.

BIMB:

4 Braids, Cabal Minion
4 Hypnotic spector
4 Nantuko Shade

4 Chalice of the Void
4 Duress
4 Diabolic Edict

1 Necropotence
1 Mindtwist
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Demonic Consultation
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Visara the Dreadful
1 Necromancy

1 Stripmine
4 Wasteland
4 Dark Ritual
1 lotus Petal
1 Mana Crypt
1 Sol Ring
16 Swamp

Okay, let me explain my card choice:

Duress: basic disruption for this deck.

Diabolic Edict: basic creature removal.

Nantuko Shade: Best beatdown creature for this deck.

Hypnotic spector: Somewhat slow, but may give your foe some headache if it comes out early.

Necropotence, Mindtwist, Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Demonic Consultation, Yawgmoth's Will:  They are all restricted for good reasons, right?

Visara the Dreadful:  I used to run two, but one is enough.  With tutor spells and necropotence, get this card from the deck is not hard.  It simply causes a lot trouble against other decks if it gets into the play.  It's a good attacker and blocker as well.

Necromancy:  Here is the other Visara, this card can steal a lot of goodie from opposing graveyard.  Steal one Goblin Welder is not bad.  If you steal a Morphling, that will be cool.  Sometimes it can steal a game against Animate Dragon as well.

Chalice of the Void + Braids:  Key cards in this deck!  Chalice of the Void for zero most of time!  It stop all the first turn madness against powered up decks.  It shuts down weenie decks for one or two.  At worst, sac it for Braids to function as a land is not bad.  This card simply slows down the game so Braids can do her work.  Braids, on the other hand, steals tempo, disrupt control player's mana base, can attack and block...

Dark Ritual, Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Lotus Petal:  Fast mana

Stripmine + Wasteland:  Slow down the game, especially against Mishra's Workshop.

16 Swamp:  Too much I guess, but because of Braids, large amount of lands are needed.

Any suggestion?
