When you cut out blue it's obviously better on your mana base, but it has the effect of shrinking the number of available "processors" (cards that move exiled cards to their controllers graveyards, usually with an added effect.) I feel like this makes Cloudshift fairly necessary in this deck, as blinking Mind Raker is really good- especially avoiding targeted removal. This opens up the option of blinking Thraben Inspector, making it a decent card engine.

There are so many cool interactions and synergies in the deck. Exile things early and often, then process them for more advantage. Just one example of many, but Oblivion Ring something, Mind Raker targeting whatever O ring exiled, Kor Skyfisher targeting Oblivion Ring, repeat if needed. Okiba-Gang Shinobi ninjutsu Kor Skyfisher/Mind Raker, etc.
