This deck will get a lot better with Innastrad, but I wanted to start thinking in this direction...
[Creatures] 18
4 Merfolk Looter
3 Jace's Archivist
2 Royal Assassin
3 Molten-tail Masticore
4 Necrotic Ooze
2 Geth, Lord of the Vault
[Spells]
3 Despise
4 Ponder
2 Visions of Beyond
2 Distress
4 Mana Leak
3 Jace, the Memory Adept
[Lands]
4 Darkslick Shores
4 Drowned Catacomb
9 Island
7 Swamp
Before you suggest Tar Pit or Tech Edge, I built this with rotation in mind.
Basically, you can mill yourself to get powerful activated abilities in your graveyard for Necrotic Ooze. My favorite is the Masticore. Having a fake Masticore on the battlefield without having to pay his hefty upkeep cost is pretty awesome. Geth's ability is nice and provides some mill synergy with the Jace cards.
Speaking of Jace, you could very easily use the 0 ability to mill yourself and get more graveyard love.
Like I said, I think Innastrad will have a graveyard theme, making this deck stronger.
