Interesting take on the Helm of the Void deck. I had seen RB versions before but not the BW. I wanted to discuss the deck a bit, I know there is no decklist, I don't know why still. If anyone knows it please post it. This deck seems pretty strong in the current metagame because of the maindeck Leyline coupled together with removal and silver bullets. What do you guys think?

This deck seems pretty cool, but a couple of things spring to mind immediately:
1: The deck seems like an awkward blend between suicide-style decks, what with D. Rit, Hymn and Bobs and the more controlling W/B prison shells like Patrick Chapin's http://www.deckcheck.net/deck.php?id=22542
2: Bob seems weird, as he turns on removal and seems painful without top
3: I think Ancient Tomb would be better than City of Traitors, as you need to have a fairly high number of lands to get going
4: The SB doesn't seem so good

In general, if the deck moved more in a Quinn style direction it might be better, as I don't think there's enough acceleration to legitimize some the decisions as is.
