Simic Skaab

This is a deck I recently created recently with some of my Innistrad cards. Quite a fun deck to play if you like to have a lot of options for plays each turn. Mill yourself to stack up the creature cards in your graveyard, then hit hard with Splinterfright, Skaab Ruinator, Stitched Drake and Wreath of Geists. You can get some very large life gains from Gnaw to the Bone to keep you alive from possibly early game damage.

Changes

If I had the cards, I would play a full set of Skaab Ruinator. Fix the lands to have a mix of rare g/u lands. Also currently I'm thinking of removing Mindshrieker as I'm finding it's a gamble of hitting a land or not. Aside from that the deck plays very well. Happy to hear any feedback or suggestions.

I'd love to work out a way to use Unburial Rites in the deck but due to the white flashback cost it'd either have to be four colour or drop green or blue. Also the deck really would improve with a full set of Tracker's Instincts to help avoid self-milling the important creatures. Playing Unburial Rites would have also helped fix this issue.

Some other cards I have considered:

Forbidden Alchemy, Invisible Stalker, Secrets of the Dead, Think Twice, Headless Skaab, Civilized Scholar
