In Simic deck, I faced Simic Manipulator often and it can be really dangerous since he keeps taking control of all my creatures
it evolves and you have what's needed to transfer counter on him

I assume the demon will always be played using the apostle and you will empty your hand quickly, in that case you need a draw mecanic
-Underworld Connections

as a removal if you dont care too much of you apostle, you could switch doom blade with bone splinters, this way you are not screwed when you face a black deck(or keep it in sideboard when you face a black deck)

Crypt Incursion would keep your life up, assuming your appostle are sacrificed often or die as blocker, you would be able to gain easily 4 or 5 times 3 life, this would compensate the life lost to draw card using underworld connection(it would do better then elixir)

I dont think you need diabolic tutor, since your apostle have a search librairy already and litturgy of blood is really expensive even if it gives you back 3 mana, at the point you most likely have an empty hand unless you change something to draw more

Why Thought scour?
I would probably try to choose green/black or blue/black
you only have 6 land that would allow you dual land to enter the battlefield untapped and those land either require you to pay 2 life or come into play tapped, I would try to have more basic land
Deadly allure would help you with removal since most of your creature can come back to the battlefield and it works well with regenerate and your charms

Modern Golgari

but deadly allure can be used twice
and with gravecrawler that keeps coming back, crature with undying or with regenerate, he will most likely have a creature on the battlefield
if he can remove your creature when you cast deadly allure, he can also remove your ambush viper as an instant

You should add Deadly Allure, it's standard, flashback and will likely remove an oponent's creature everytime in CMC 1

I assume you want to keep it standard
-You could replace Soulmender with Cathedral sanctifier, gainning 3 life for 1 mana I think would be better then 1 life requireing to tap your creature that could be a blocker(not sure up to you)
- blind obedience would slow your oponent and allow you to extort for life
-Well/Alive gives you option, creature or gain life
-Tablet of the guilds, would increase your gain life

nice deck, I like the idea

but dangerous, if your oponent has a destroy artifact as an instant, he just made you lose your library

I've added 2 splinter and 2 forest
Technically I will be able to search for 2 land of my choice with a wellspring

it's a good idea, but lattice is more expensive both in $ and CMC
since i dont have much control, i wouldn't last until the 7th turn to be able to cast splinter
so in order to be viable, i would need green ramp(making the deck 3 color would be harder to play or required more expensive land)

I think this is a powerful deck for 16$

give me some advice you see something that could be improve, i will probably build it

yeah i would place etched champion in hte main board and if you want to be able to draw more place a curiosity on it, it's can't be blocked by any color

I also have mind grind, with the mana produce by the defender, I usually mill the oponent to death in a single spell

My defender deck was kind of similar to this
I was using Ludovic test subject as a defender and lategame he becomes a 13/13 trample
and also Mentor of the Meek, everytime a creature with less then power 2 enter the battlefield, I can draw a card, and all defender are less then 2 power, with the kind of combo you have you can fill the board really quickly

Beseech the Queen would allow you to search your library for a card in 3 black

yeah i have that one in my torpor orb

Even if you dont have land it still works
See answer from a magic judge about this card
http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/rh92

this could fit in your deck as well Goblin Charbelcher
you probably would have the mana to activate it in turn 3 or 4
and since you have no land you would dea like 50 damage and place all card back in the librairy
