duskmantle seer is not a good idea with that many high costing spells

After playing a very similar deck with less high costing spells. I've got to say it does matter, and although Duskmantle Seer is my favorite card of Gatecrash; it is rather useless at the moment in Standard :(. May have potential in a control build with Delvers and Augurs/Snapcasters as the only other creatures.

I'd run Terminus over Merciless Eviction just for the miracle cost. Merciless is a great card but it wont see play till Terminus rotates out.

I'd say run a fourth Sphinx's Revelation. I've seen people run 4 and I'm proxing 2 more and it's working great because when you cast 1 sphinx's revelation, it might lead to another and another and another so I'd recommend 1 more.

Duskmantle Seer may put wind in your sails, but in almost every scenario, because you are a control deck, it puts moar wind in your opponents'. I would also recommend Terminus' in place of the Evictions.
