went 2-0 against a golgari deathtouch deck..I am pleasantly surprised and amused :-) had to use Worldslayer to wipe the board in the first game..bought me some time to bring out a collosus and then opened the Door to Nothingness a few turns later (turn 12 or so)..
second game was actually an easy win..played rampant growth on turns 2 & 3, and then by turn 5, between mana and Manalith, I had 8 mana available..brought out Door to Nothingness at turn 5 and then had to wait a couple turns to draw & get a Chromatic Lantern on the board (wasn't drawing any tutor cards for some reason :-/) ..then by turn 8 or 9, I had the mana to sacrifice Door to Nothingness for the win

-3 Phalanx Leader, +3 Artisan of Forms
Have been finding Phalanx leaders are a dead draw. Too flimsy, and the 2 plains cost usually means I cannot keep a plains up for any protection cards.
Artisan of Forms Takes it's place in the curve, and if played on turn 2, can then be followed up by a Fabled Hero, and the copy effect can close the game incredibly quickly. (Cheers to Xiao.Wen for the suggetion).

3-0 (2-1, 2-0, 2-0) R1: Minotaur Tribal BR Aggro G1: Cleared swiftly with a good curve of Sylvan Caryatid, Reaper of the Wilds, Obzedat, Elspeth, multiple Blood Barons.. G2: (did not sideboard) Lost to opponent's curve and onslaught of Minotaurs G3: Sideboarded in 01 Merciless Eviction 02 Bile Blight 01 Vraska Removed 02 Lifebane Zombie 02 Sin Collector Merciless Eviction-ed all his Creatures with Elspeth onboard, continue to lay Vraska Reaper and Scavenging Ooze. Opponent overloaded Mizzium Mortar for me to 08xScry 1 with Reaper trigger and Vraska's tokens took the game for the win. Score 2-1 R2: Yuuya Watanabe's GP Beijing Mono Black Control G1: Opponent seemed to lack threats, removed his early Desecration Demons n Pack Rats threats with Hero Downfalls and Abrupt Decays. G2: Sideboarded in 02 Bile Blight 01 Merciless Eviction Removed 02 Lifebane Zombie 01 Vraska Continued to clear his threats but lost Obzedat twice. Managed to lay a Blood Baron after he had thoughtseized one away. Cleared the game with an active 10/10 flying blood baron. Score 2-0 R3: Monster Land-D GR Control G1: had my lands cleared away with Demolish, Brumblecrush, Survey the Wreckage. . Creatures lightning striked away.. managed to steal the game with Obzedat and Reapers Sideboarded in 02 Bile Blight Removed 01 Vraska 01 Elspeth G2: Bile Blight never came but a hand of scavenging ooze and blood baron helped to stabilise the game to win.

Moved Rakdos, Lord of Riots to the maybeboard in favor of Boros Reckoner. The Reckoner is more on theme.
1v1 Playtest

Last night I playtested this deck against 3 of my other half's decks (1 game each).
His Animar, Soul of Elements deck beat me to a pulp. He had a fantastic first hand while I was having a hard time getting land. Its hard to hold off Animar's snowball effect...
Second up was Tibor and Lumia. Since this deck isn't very creature oriented, it was no surprise that I beat him to a pulp.
Last but not least, Iname, Life Aspect. I was really worried about this deck. His creatures are cheap and dispensable because of soulshift and Iname herself. Surprisingly, he had a hard time getting out land while I pretty much drew all my creature destruction cards. Oops.
So 2/3 is not a bad ending at all. But the true test will be when I finally test it out in a 3v3 with my whole group. Can't wait!

Needs more low-drop mill, add some counter spells. Focus on Lavaz?

Boros Burn was a problem in testing so I made a sideboard switch to adding 2 x Duress to help deal with it. This also comes in play to help deal with Esper matchups as well
I also removed the Underworld Connections main and replaced it with another Jace, Architect of Thought as it would lose me less life on top of being another stall card vs Elspeth, Sun's Champion tokens as well as Assemble the Legion. The sideboard one got dropped for a Psychic Intrusion which has tested VERY well against the midrange/control decks as a 2 for 1

Update: playtested a few times on cockatrice. Won some, lost some. Not seeing my Tymaret, the Murder King at ALL in any of my matchups, but I didn't see all of my other stuff all that much either. I think I'll remove a xathrid necromancer for a tyramet.
Death magus is nice, but I still lose. Hmm. We'll see how it works out.

Out - Clone In - Drift of Phantasms Clone is pretty awesome, and I wish that I could keep it in the deck, but Drift of Phantasms does a lot more work for the deck. As it tutors for a wide number of combo pieces.
Updated decklist

Hi all, here are some changes I've made after more testing.
-1 Deathrite Shaman -1 Lotleth Troll -1 Putrefy
+1 Elvish Mystic +2 Sylvan Caryatid
these changes were made to both to address the mana issues I came up against with Deathrite Shaman should I not put any lands in the graveyard and to make the deck stronger in a null metagame. If I knew I was headed into a black heavy metagame I'd add the putrefy back in or maybe an Ultimate Price to address Desecration Demon with Ultimate Price being the choice with a field of against PackRat.
Elvish Mystic has the benefit over Deathrite Shaman as being another non-black target for Nighthowler than blood baron of viskopa has trouble dealing with.
Lotleth Troll was great against control but not great in the mono-u, g/r, or mono black match ups so I cut him down to 3.
In the SB, I've added 3 Mistcutter Hydra to address mono U and u/w/x matchups as well as x2 Whip of Erebos to side in against R/w burn and as a one of against b/w midrange on the play only.
