37 lands, and the common " mana rocks" i think should get me through. Yes i dont have fetches but i feel its strong enough with all the draw/cantripping i can do too. Divinity is good, I'll have to find a spot for it for sure. Any other suggestions?

This deck looks like it wants Plains. It makes Nacatl better, and I'm thinking you could also fit in a landfall theme too with Plated Geopede, and Steppe Lynx (dropping scab-clan and rip-clan) 4 Wayfarer's Bauble (-Incinerate) 4 Evolving Wilds 4 Plated Geopede 4 Steppe Lynx So yeah, I totally changed your deck, and now I want to make this one....I must say your build does look fun though.
More on theme cards... Bribery Burden of Guilt/Guilty Conscience Scornful Egotist
Belltower Sphinx? And in mill deck Surgical Extraction is always icing on cake.
Another common fog that's fun is Pollen Lullaby. Nice deck.
Wouldn't targeted draw be better? Indentured Djinn's ability is a may so wouldn't something like forget or careful consideration? Oh and Sign In Blood could be mean if you aimed it at them. As an aside, my deck is like a direct opposite of yours. Discard to "burn" them to death. Chck it out if you'd like. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=308182
The reason paths are main is because of trinisphere/thalia. If they're out path is actually worse than o ring. I do agree with you on magus of tabernacle. I think dropping him to a 2of, or switching over to magus of the moat would be better. I've thought of a few dudes, but what would you suggest for a finisher (flying obviously)?
True that Ghost Quarter gives a land...if I don't have Mindcensor/Arbiter on board, then they get nothing. I like worship, might be a card I look into. Thanks for the comment.
Added. Thanks.
The problem with the Skaabs is that they exile another creature from the Graveyard, same with the Alchemist. This is counter-intuitive to the Grimoire. If you're "dead-set" on running the Grimoire then I'd suggest going the mill route. Also the Storm is soooo expensive that by the time you get it out, it really doesn't matter that you're paying 0 for your Zombies. I suggest -2 Grimoire -2 Rooftop Storm +4 Ghoulcaller's Chant Lastly I personally feel that you're a touch light on the lands. I'd like to see the count in the 22-24 range with the curve you're sporting (plus the expensive flashback of your spells).
Looks good but you've only got four fragile ways of dumping your fatties from your hand to your Graveyard. Well I guess you could count Hymn too, but why would you?
Thanks guys. Made some small changes and in goldfishes mana looks better. :)
If you're going to splash blue, then a Distortion Strike is a must. +1/+0 and unblockable till EOT, at Instant speed.
Looks pretty tight. -2 Titans -2 Lands +4 Kroskan Tuskers. (By cycling, you get a land and a card draw... Good stuff)
In this type of deck I highly agree. Also, I think a Sign in Blood would be much more beneficial to you than a Geths's Verdict.
-Rites of Initiation +Invigorate. (You dont care if they gain life so this is super cheap!!!) -Sliver +Corpse Cur/Viridian Corrupter (Cur gives you GY recursion/Corrupter destroys artifacts) Also take a look at my Itsy Bitsy Spiders/Izzet Hurt decks if you need other ideas...(they're both infect)
I like it, but feel even though you have the Heartless Sumoning you're still a bit heavy on the mana curve. Personally, i would want a smaller creature to bring out. Plague Stinger is good evasive, small, and still has infect so you can bring it back with the cur. I would trade the metamorph for it. Also, ever think about Momentary Blink? I think it'd be fun with the Cur to bring in multiples of lost creatures by blinking a few times. Even if not, I would run 1 Island and 4-5 Fetch lands too.
Two suggestions if your looking for some 'fun' to this deck. Goblin bombardment: Since you have loads of gobbos, and ways to get them back from the graveyards this is fun. Goblin War Strike: Good to cast right before you 'launch' a bombardment.
