This is dirty dude...Do you think 4 SFM is necessary with just 3 equips? Eh, maybe it is...I'd have to play it to get a feel =/ I feel like there's gotta be something more powerful than Gatekeeper, Tidehollow perhaps? I might be bias, but the card IS good. Another idea is Luminarch Ascension. I put just one in one of my latest designs and it just smashes face, and with the colors to run it, it could be a nice addition for ya =] Lastly, it's just the Extractor in me, but with all that freakin discard, some S.E. and/or Extirpate could rip them a new one. Or, you could also try a one-of H.E. which, while a little costly, will probably equal an insta-win with all the discard =] Oh, and come and check out mah 150th deck celebration...deck <_<

Everything is better in Orzhov... I wish I had room for both Gatekeeper and Tidehollow mb... After about a dozen tests each way I flipped a coin for the one who would be mb. Its that close. Luminarch is very interesting... but I think Abolisher just wins the control matchup, so its hard to justify adding Luminarch too. Vs aggro, it might be interesting, but I don't think its quite good enough. If its ability cost only {W}, then I think it would make it Meh... Its kinda-supposed to be a tempo-ish deck, so idk if SE really fits, but I will try it out. I'll check out ur celebration for sure. Check out this deck's sister decks! I did a bunch of these a while ago, so I decided to dust them off and post'em.
@SYN If SFM isn't getting countered, the vast majority of games/situations she's dying before the turns passes back to you. Running 4 copies just adds to the consistency of being able to pull/play the equipment you want/need. Sorry if I'm reiterating the obvious and this doesn't actually help you to understand. If you look at any variation of Stoneblade, they're almost always running 4x SFM and only 1-3 equipments, 3 being less common than the former. lol
Liking this one better, it's pretty neat, and I think better focused for the archetype overall. Third favourite style of the deck. Like with the one I did, I too wish it could have space for a playset of Tidehollow Sculler. It'd give me my beloved fourteen card disruption suite. But alas, that would be a dream world, where I'd hopefully have reassembled my TES.
How is this deck working out for you? It seems a bit random-ish with the various "near same" cards.
Well, not my deck, but I'll try to answer your questions. First off, I'm assuming you're talking about the 6 one mana black discard spells and not the equipment, because if you're not, *facepalm*. The advantage of running 3 different types? Inquisition is great against Merfolk/Goblin-type decks, whose curve usually ends at 3 or 4 mana anyway, so you can get them for pretty much anything. Thoughtseize will shut down combo, but might not be the best choice against aggro, where that 2 life will cost you more than the 1 card you're removing, which will likely be replaced by a similar one (Lord of Atlantis by Coralhelm Commander). Cabal Therapy is great game 2 or 3, when you know their deck. Ideally, he would sub in 2 more later or adjust those choices from the sideboard, but his sideboard is chock full of other stuff already.
I prefer Tidehollow to Gatekeeper MB. While rare, Gatekeeper can prove to be rather useless in some match-ups. Tidehollow is almost never going to dissapoint, it takes the creature you'd be killing with Gatekeeper, in addition to a part of a combo, a Planeswalker, that one red spell that's gonna cost you the game if it gets through, etc. I'd drop Disfigure for a second Edict. It gets past Hexproof things, and anything targetable that is larger than x/2. You also have Gatekeepers to serve the same purpose, as well as trade off with the smaller things you would be killing with Disfigure.
Try Fetid Heath in place of Arid Mesa. It helps with black heavy spells (Hymn to Tourach and Gatekeeper).
Ummm Why? When would I rather have a Heath instead of a Scrubland?
