I really don't think Gnat Miser does enough. It's ability won't matter very often.

I also think Unsommon should be Vapor Snag. You plan to bounce your oppoenents cards more often than your own, right?

I also think Sink into Takenuma should go. It's a combo card. You don't have anything that benefits you from having extra cards in your hand, or from playing Swamps. So you don't have anything to combo with it. Wrench Mind, or even just Mind Rot would be much better.

I'm not sure I like the Spirit/Arcane synergy here. Kyoki, Sanity's Eclipse cost 6, and I feel it may be too slow (I may be wrong). Without this synergy, you could use cards like Duress, Mind Rot, Mindstab or Ravenous Rats, instead of Sink into Takenuma and other arcane taht I feel are too.. unneficient. Also, you can use Doom Blade as removal, but I would probably look for -2/-2 or low cost removal, cause you mainly need them in very early game.

As noble Nezumi Shortfang could be an interresting option.

Oh, and if you want to be evil, you can play Rancid Earth and side board Contaminated Ground. I always feel that's so not fair to screw lands XD

I miss Rat decks. One of my fee loves of Kamigawa. If you really want to screw up your opponent you can also run Sink into Takenuma which is risky but can screw up opponents like blue decks with good draw engines. It won't disrupt you much because your curve is low. One or two tops.

Definitely think about Victim of Night for removal. It is a highly underrated common that works against most nonblack and quite a bit of black too.

Nice deck. Plus one.
