I just recently recieved a nether void deck and I am currently looking for tips on how to play this deck best.  I have not played it at all and I have only played against it a few times.  I was wondering what to tutor for first, what hands you need to keep and what hands to mulligan, and sideboard issues.  Any help would be great.  Here is my current decklist:

Disruption: (20)
3 Nether Void
4 Duress
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Sinkhole
3 Powder Keg
1 Mind Twist
1 Pernicious Deed


Creatures:(8)
4 Nantuko Shade
3 hypnotic Spectar
1 Masticore

Utility (4)
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vamperic Tutor
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Necropotence

Mana (28)
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Jet
1 Lotus Petal
1 Sol Ring
4 Dark Ritual
4 polluted Delta
4 Wasteland
4 Bayou
7 Swamp
1 Strip Mine

Side:
2 Spinning Darkness
2 Naturalize
4 Smother
3 Tormads Crypt
4 Phyrexian Negator

I currently see sligh, scrub, and maybe 1 powered control deck and my teammate playes burning desire.  I also see some rector/trix and oath/trix in my metagame.  My friend played the deck with great success and I got it built pretty much as it is.\n\n

Get yourself 4 Mishra's Factory and replace some of your swamps with them.

Also, either drop green or run more Deeds.

I am not going to drop the green, so what do I replace for more deeds?

You can drop Mind Twist as well. 4 Duress + 4 Hymn does the job. Furthermore I am not a big fan of fetchlands in Nether Void deck, because you don´t really want to thin the lands out of your deck, do you. You need all the land you can get with Nether Void out. I´d prefer Llanowar Wastes.

The plan of the deck is simple: disrupt, lay a threat, lay a Void, bash your opponent head.

Also read the primers.
