Deck Reviews / [Standard] Waste Not, Want Not

Waste Note, Want Not

This is a Dimir control (splashing Red and Green) deck utilizing the zombie making abilities of the Want Not, combined with cards that use the discard mechanic: thoughtsieze, Liliana's Reaver, Duress, Mindrot, and most impressively, Whispering Madness, but is not a one-trick pony.  It a spell heavy deck, so I chose the Weird brothers as the 1 and 2 drop, hoping to stabilize the board early.

The deck attempts much control with Abrupt Decay and a diverse removal package. Other creatures are sprinkled throughout.  This deck can win in different ways, and has played consistently in playtesting, winning in different ways.  The Mana curve is tricky here with 4 colors in play and I'm not sure I have it right, so comments are most welcome.

I am looking for ideas--I'd like this to be a competitive deck, so it's important that the mana curve is as low as possible.

Scourge of Skola Vale

Looking for advice on the new Selesnya deck I've been working on.

This deck takes advantage of Scourge of Skola's tap ability: Sacrifice another creature.  Put a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the creature's toughness.  So, there are many rams, trailblazers, and high toughness creatures to ramp up the Hydra, and a Tower Defense Battle trick.  I also sneak in a couple of Witchstalkers, a God and an archangel for good measure.  This deck also has a good use for the Grove of the Guardian, since it ramps quickly and adds a surprise 8/8 creature.

Thanks for the ideas.  I agree on Tome Scour, and a few more counterspells.  I've tried mixing in creatures, but it's kind of a risk.  Every bit of mana not played milling seems a waste if I have enough removal.  Traumatize is such a demoralizing card for the opponent, particularly if Jace has crunched him once or twice.  I mostly play other decks, but play this one when I'm feeling like a D**k and want to be "that guy"
