[Deck] Fun with Chains

[Brujah-99]

This is a deck that I've been playing for the last 6 months or so in various incarnations.   It's goal is to set up an early chains of mephistopholes and a megrim.  I've only played it in limited capacity against any of the major decks.  Here's the list of cards:

Threats
3x Chains of Mephistopholes
4x Megrim
4x Hypnotic Specter
1x Grinning Demon
1x Underworld Dreams

Draw/Tutor
1x Time Twister
1x Wheel and deal
1x Ancestral Recall
1x Memory Jar
1x Wheel of Fortune
1x Vampiric Tutor
1x Enlightened Tutor
1x Intuition
1x Demonic Tutor
1x Scroll Rack
1x Windfall

Control Effects
2x Wrath of God
2x Swords to Plowshares
1x Balance
2x Arcane Denial
2x Vindicate

Misc
1x Zuran Orb
1x Time Walk
1x Yawgmoth's Will

Mana Sources
1x Black Lotus
1x Sol Ring
1x Mox Saphire
1x Mox Ruby
1x Mox Jet
1x Mox Pearl
4x Bloodstained Mire
3x Underground Sea
2x Volcanic Island
4x Scrubland
1x Plateau
3x Badlands

The deck typically does well against any thing that draws cards, but tends to die to the creature rush.   I'm considering removing the hypnotic specters and putting in ether duress or cabal therapy for disruption and changing the grinning demon to another Wheel and Deal.  Any suggestions people would like to make would be greatly appreciated.

4x Megrim
2x Wrath of God
2x Arcane Denial
Zuran Orb (Without Fastbond or Chalice nonetheless)

Old school, man!  Since you made this deck (back in '97 was it?) they printed

4x Duress
Crucible of the Worlds
4x Wasteland
Strip Mine

Also, just because it has to be said, how does your deck actually GET the lock, and what IS your lock?  It doesn't seem like this is more then slow aggro currently.  Have you thought about a lock component as well, perhaps...
Chalice of the Void
Nether Void
But I don't know what slots you want to kill for them, it will basically destroy your suicidal draw-7 philosophy to lock, so . . . probably lose those slots and try some bombs.

Yeah I quit back in 99, and started again about 6 months ago 
The idea isn't so much to get a lock on the game, as it is kill them quickly.  Generally one of the draw 7's will be enough to kill my opponent(s) with a chains and megrim both on the table, or take all but one card out their hand with just a chains in play.    I think that the chalice would be a good replacement for the arcane denials.
