I know, I am a bit late, but better late then never:embarrass: My final deck is strong though I have my doubts about the need to play black. Also I would have preferred a slightly faster deck, with more bounce.
Tough choice to maindeck Damnation or not... But it makes the deck slower and isn't optimal against a couple of decks. Stills feels a bit weird to not play it.
But it has a lot of potential. It is smart. It is blue.;) (and yes I prefer Oona above Meloku, which some people will call me crazy for)

If I were greedy, I could cut a mountain for Terminate (going from 16 lands + 2 moxes to 15 + 2). This could work with my low curve. However, I tend to mana screw myselfs often, so I prefer the addtional land.
18 mana sources for a deck with a average CC lower then 3? What do you do in a slower, midrangy control deck? Hell I would consider playing 16 with this deck after maybe removing one last 4cc card.

Yeah, I should probably cut a mountain for the Terminate. But I'm not going below 15 lands + 2 moxes, even with such a low curve. Mana screw tends to hit me hard... Plus, the moxes are easily destroyed and one of them doesn't produce B or R for my deck.
Also, I was messing with my cube so I thought this would be fun.
