@Metalwalker
Are there any threats that you're worried about that have CMC >3? If not, then consider Smother. It handles all the creatures GFTT as well as the occasional...
Belcher can fight through light blue disruption. Don't discount it altogether.
Circle of Protection: Blue? Seems really loose, but it provides a reliable way to stop them from attacking and essentially turns all your lands into Maze of Ith. It also answers Progenitus. Follow...
Pretty much correct, especially against builds with Crucible of Worlds.
What about Vindicate as a 1-2 of against green decks? It can act as removal for their dorks, and also remove Choke, Jace, Elspeths, etc. I remember UW/b Landstill (or was it Walker-still?) that used...
NQN is right about Zoo: you want to remove their creatures ASAP no matter what. They tend to run out of steam pretty bad and usually sandbag 2-3 burn spells the whole time, waiting for your life to...
Brainfreeze would almost certainly be better in that same slot against control.
Rein of Power is something that would just be hilarious against Goblins or Goyf-decks to return the alpha strike.

Why has Crucible of Worlds been cut from your list mossivo? I'm not sure which page (or how many pages back) it's been discussed, but having it as a singleton would help more than it hurts.
The list looks something like this:
3 Tombstalkers
4 Goyfs
3 Nantuko Shades
4 Hyppies
5-6 Duress/Thoughtseize
4 Hymn to Tourach
2 Crucible
4 Mishra's
I too have been having trouble making all my land drops. I cut the 61st card and added the 24th land. It means that I may get mana flooded later in the game, but also means that I'll ensure I make...
Propaganda does not stop people from directly attacking your Planeswalker, so this is inherently weaker with Elspeth out.
@Engineered Plague,
I found this really useful in my metagame vs. Elves, Merfolk, & Goblins. I can usually force a concession out of Elves by dropping this card, I can stymy Goblins, and mixed...
And opening hands with Wasteland + Mishras and none others?
Auto-Hymn isn't a viable strategy last time I checked, and neither should it be with a control deck with limited card drawing. Wasteland...
7/23 lands that tap for no color mana + dependence on EE = NOMBO!
How the hell do you people manage to not get color screwed by all those non-color lands?
