Thanks in advance

I don't play standard, but I watched some of the coverage this past weekend of the SCG $5K (wherever it was). One of the decks I saw which seems most similar to your list, but more consistent and powerful, is Grixis.
Grixis has a few advantages over trying to make all five colors work:
You get to play 4x Scalding Tarn, and 4x Terramorphic. More than once I saw players cast Cruel off 7 basics, which is really amazing when you think about it.
Sphinx of Jwar Isle >> Maelstrom Archangel. Shroud is huge right now, since Path and Terminate exist, and the Cunning Sparkmage/Basilisk Collar combo is running around.
Cruel Ultimatum is ridiculous.
I don't think Blightning is what you'll want to be doing, since you're losing the clock by taking out BBE. The lack of good counterspells in Standard scares me a little as well, but there's no doubt in my mind that the endgame of Grixis is very good. Lightning Bolt and Terminate are the back bone of your removal, but this deck would kill for an Edict. Maybe Fleshbag Marauder is good enough to sideboard against non-Sprouting Thrinax decks?
