Running 12 removal or no? (G/B mid-range)

Deck Help forum

I currently run 8 removal, but I was maybe thinking of adding 4 Doom Blade and have 12 to help a little with control. Here's my deck: Golgari Mid-Range (needs some final suggestions)

It really depends on your meta. If your meta has a lot of MBD and R/G Monsters, and other creature based decks, maybe go up to 9 or 10 removal spells, maybe with some in the sideboard just in case. However, 12 is very excessive; 1 in 5 of the cards in your deck would be kill spells. Against Control and its ilk, that's a fifth of your deck that is now borderline useless. If your meta is control heavy, I'd stay at 8 or drop to 7.
