yea its for legacy so it can have the dual lands, swords, dark rituals, and lotus petals. My main concern is I wanted lore broker for more draw but i needed something like inkfathom to make earwig squad work. Another thought would be shimian specter as a replacement, its not as fast as earwig squad, but it might be more consistent.

well the deck probably isnt that balanced but its really just for fun. The concept is to get out stuffy/pariah, and use the lands that do damage to yourself and night's whisper to win. The misers probably wouldnt be that effective, but the discard and counters would help to lower the chance of the opponent playing something to stop stuffy. Not to mention shapesharer could pose as a big help if the opponent plays a good creature or to copy a miser..
if you do that, youd have to redo your lands, with some green production, (city of brass, taiga etc). orchish lumberjacks might not work, but id defintiely keep tinderwall and birds.
Blazing shoal doesnt really seem helpful right now because you'd need a dragon in play, to make that combo happen, youd need a big dragon to play, sneak attack, or through the breach, and another big dragon in your hand. Id take out through the breach and one dragonstorm, for 4 burning wish. Id keep blazing shoal but add green and birds of paradise, orchish lumberjacks, an tinderwall. sneak attack is prpbably ok, but might not be necessary. You could also put in death wish.
Id consider some lotus petals. they'd make the deck faster, and give you a bigger storm count. you could also put in burning wish, and put one of the dragonstorms on your sideboard. I dont really like city of traitors, Id consider adding green and putting in tinderwalls, or maybe birds of paradise or orcish lumberjacks. If you're playing a deck with counterspells, you might have a problem so I'd consider overmaster, and maybe some anti artifact/enchantment on the sideboard.
Yeah that'd be a good card to add, I havent actually played the deck though, so I'd need to figure out what could be taken out first.
keep in mind that lower cost spells will increase your consistency and make the deck better. I'd take out: orim's prayer, terminate, putrefy, mortify, dash hopes, solemn simulacrum, sythe, panoptic, solarion, fist of suns, vedalken shakles. Consider adding chrome mox and/or mox diamond, lotus petals, humility, propaganda/ghostly prison, maybe night's whisper, brainstorm, arcane denial, mana short, farseek, city of brass, forbidden orchard, glimmervoid, copy artifact, declaration of naught.
I would try to focus the deck around something. If you want to control, you could take out creatures, and add some other form of damage in. you could focus on returning permanents to hand, or a lot of discard. I would probably try something with humility & propaganda, permanent return protection and lots of counters. Some things to consider: Mana Leak, Arcane Denial, Extirpate, Ensnaring bridge, Humility, Propaganda, null brootch, manowar, fatespinner, hoodwink
Yeah it wasnt very good, so I changed it.
