I think it's too expensive for what your getting out of it. Ebony Owl Netsuke, Stroke of Genius and Cerebral Vortex are all great too.

Underworld Dreams is a must. Black Vise, Memory Jar, Anvil of Bogardan, Howling Mine, Spiteful Visions. All these will work very well in this build.
Nightsky Mimic works really good for me in a similar build. Casting it on turn 2 then attaching Edge of the Divinity on turn 3 swing for 7 in the air. Sure it's a bit risky considering the potential for getting 2 for 1'd but it can be very good. I'd replace Tithe Drinker for that.
Oh ya I completely forgot to tell you to add Lord of Extinction to this build. It easily becomes huge and can be sacrificed to Jarad for the win.
The only option you would have is to bounce it with something like Void Snare, Boomerang or Cyclonic Rift. Blue or Black has no enchantment removal. Nevinyrral's Disk would be closest thing to it. This is exactly why I play Esper Mill in Modern. 4 Path's main deck and all the great sideboard cards white has to offer.
Good old tried and true Disenchant.
My main concern is the fact delirium wont trigger that often in this build. Only 4 creatures or 4 artifacts to turn delirium on for me. However an early Orb will help this.
Well I think it will be worth testing out at any rate. Bringing it in against Scapeshift, Or RG Tron, or hitting a Grape shot against Storm. Even tho I've never lost against storm considering this is such a great match up. Lingering Souls would be nice to hit. Now that I think of it, we finally have a really good SB option against Living End which has been a really bad match up.
Now I'm currently testing 2 Rebuffs in main to protect my Crabs and Orbs.
After some more testing I've decided to cut the combo. While being very effective against Eldrazi it seems to be slowing me down against other decks in the format. Especially when I don't get both pieces in play early on.
Bojuka Bog still enters tapped
Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond. I really don't see a big need in Early Harvest. The only cards that will benefit from it would be either one of the planeswalkers by getting them out 1 turn earlier. In my opinion you would be much better off with the 2 missing Ajani's Pridemate.
I'd suggest running 4 Vault Skirge instead of Dark Favor. Dark favor is setting yourself up for getting 2 for 1'd more often then not. In the case with Vault Skirge it let's you actually play something on turn 1 and in my opinion your a little light on creatures.
Been Playing the Painter's Servant Tutelage combo and have been having really good match up against Eldrazi. Surprising myself and others.
Very true. There's a little voice in the back of my head telling me the enemy fetches from original Zendikar are going to be reprinted in Return to Innistrad. That voice is often wrong and almost always gets me in trouble I may add.
Yes I agree, I love Kolaghan's Command. As far as the cuts for this deck goes, I would really try to focus it with the idea of rotation around the corner in 4 weeks.
I will add that I do like the deck and consider it to be very well constructed as is.
True I didn't notice you were considering taking Radiant Flames out. I was referring to targeting Abzan Charm for the Exile over the card draw just to be clear. As far as Truths goes I guess I'm just greedy and want more card in hand when I cast it originally. I will admit I'm not taking into consideration of the looting it into the grave yard to hit it with Dwellers. There is a lot going on in this build and I may very well be wrong. Admittedly since I haven't played this deck. The suggestion was honest to my style of play and I honestly think it could be worth testing.
In addition to that more fetch lands to work with Hedron crap. Ghost Quarter has proven to come in handy as well. In a situation with 2 or more Hedron crabs in play I've quarted my own land to mill the last few cards needed for the win. Not sure if this will be as good in Legacy or not.
Possibly enchantment hate other then just countering it could come in handy. I play a pretty good modern mill deck and I must say Leyline of Sanctity really hurts me.
